Dans un article fleuve publié il y a 6 ans, un fin analyste écrivait ceci : 

"Ils ont cessé d’exister en tant que civilisation proprement dite depuis le milieu du XIe siècle et pourtant, les Vikings sont toujours vivants. Ils poursuivent en effet leur évolution dans les pages de nos livres, dans les cases de nos bandes dessinées, à travers nos sonorités renouvelées et sur nos écrans de toute taille, sur presque tous les continents. 
Alors que les studios Disney sérialisent au cinéma, depuis 2011, les aventures d’un personnage directement inspiré du panthéon nordique et que les Vikings continuent d’alimenter les séries B comme les grandes fresques épiques et autres séries télévisées) revenons sur l’histoire des guerriers d’Odin au cinéma, afin d’en relever les caractéristiques et d’essayer d’en comprendre la persistance."

6 ans plus tard, à l’heure où THOR version Marvel a droit à un 4e film lui étant pleinement consacré, force est de constater que ces propos sont toujours d’actualité. Et pourtant, ce n’est pas la marvelerie qui nous a donné l’envie de consacrer un épisode aux films de Vikings, Odin nous en préserve. 
Non, si nous décidons de revenir sur cette civilisation et sa présence dans l’imaginaire cinématographique, c’est parce qu’avec son 3e film, l’Américain Robert Eggers signe peut-être le film de viking le plus marquant et le plus important depuis VALHALLA RISING. 

Tentons de comprendre de quelle manière cette culture boréale a fasciné les cinéastes, de la grande fresque hollywoodienne de Richard Fleischer LES VIKINGS sorti en 1958, à THE NORTHMAN de Robert Eggers en passant par le 13e GUERRIER de John McTiernan sorti en 1999 et VALHALLA RISING de Nicolas Winding Refn qui date de 2009.
Remontons le fleuve de cette mythologie primordiale et intéressons-nous aux manières de représenter les mythes vikings, la question du choc des spiritualités entre paganisme et christianisme ainsi que la notion de frontière.

18 : THE NORTHMAN, la persistance des Vikings au cinéma

John McTiernan nació el 8 de marzo de 1951 en Albany (Nueva York). El cineasta empezó a actuar con ocho años y acabó estudiando cine en la prestigiosa Julliard. Tras dirigir algunos anuncios publicitarios, debutó en 1985 con el thriller de terror «Nómadas», protagonizado por Pierce Brosnan. La película pasó desapercibida pero en 1987 McTiernan tuvo mucha más suerte con su segunda producción: la taquillera «Depredador». Un título que con el tiempo se ha convertido en uno de los clásicos en la filmografía del director.
Al año siguiente, John McTiernan entregó «Jungla de cristal», considerada una de las mejores películas de acción de los 80. Y en 1990 inició las aventuras cinematográficas de Jack Ryan, el héroe literario creado por Tom Clancy, con la exitosa «La caza del Octubre Rojo».
En la filmografía de McTiernan encontramos títulos como «Los últimos días del Edén», «La Jungla de Cristal 3: la venganza», «El guerrero número 13», «El caso Thomas Crown» o la incomprendida –y despúes, convertida en una película de culto– «El último gran héroe». John McTiernan fue involucrado en el caso Pellicano y acabó cumpliendo condena el mes de abril del 2013, en una prisión de Dakota del Sur, durante casi 10 meses. Su última película hasta la fecha es «Basic», estrenada en el 2003.

Roger Estrada lleva más de 20 años dedicado al mundo de la comunicación como colaborador en agencias de publicidad, revistas especializadas (Mondo Sonoro o Ruta 66) y programas de televisión. El año 2012 codirigió, junto a Josep Maria Salat, el documental musical «Get What You Want», estrenado en el IN-EDIT Festival. Actualmente es responsable de estrategia digital en la agencia MUNTAÑOLA.

Ben Phillips & Matt Waters present 25 of their favourite movies from a given decade, and for what could be the last time they’ll be focusing on 1980 – 1989.

The Christmas Season can officially kick off because it's Die Hard time, and you've never heard Matt so excited. Lets talk set design, 80s henchmen, Alan Rickman's devastating good looks and obviously Circle Theory.

There Will Be Movies Vol. 4 - 1980-1989

There Will Be Movies - Episode 96: Die Hard

In this episode, we did a deep dive on the nuclear plot of The Hunt for Red October (1990). Is bigger necessarily better for the Red October? Just how bad would it be if the United States could no longer tracker Russian submarines? How easy is it for a cook to hotwire a submarine launched ballistic missile? Tim Westmyer and special guest Boris take a break from their vacation in Las Vegas to answer these questions and more.

Before we listened for the pings of a slot machine (hopefully more than just a single ping), we recommend checking out: 

-Douglas Waller, Big Red: Three Months On Board a Trident Nuclear Submarine, 2001
-Pavel Podvig, Russian Strategic Nuclear Forces, 2004
-Run Silent, Run Deep, (1958 movie)
-Russian Naval Blog, “Even The Russians Know They Suck, Part I,” February 7, 2010 
-Tom Clancy, The Bear and the Dragon, 2000
