Friponnes de porcelaine

Rate this book
Sous le titre Friponnes de porcelaine – qui fut le nom que Rohmer avait donné à l’une de ses pièces de théâtre abandonnée –, se cache un recueil de huit nouvelles écrites entre 1940 et 1950, prémices des films tournés bien plus tard. Rohmer se voulait avant tout auteur (il a publié un roman en 1946 chez Gallimard) et ces nouvelles dépouillées, authentiques, en adéquation totale avec leur époque, sont le reflet d’une oeuvre visuelle originale alternant contes, proverbes et comédies.

En collaboration avec l’IMEC, où sont conservées les archives du cinéaste, et en même temps que la sortie de la biographie d’Éric Rohmer écrite par Antoine de Baecque et Noël Herpe, Friponnes de porcelaine nous place à la source de l’imaginaire si particulier d’un des plus grands cinéastes français.

About the author

Éric Rohmer

56 books48 followers
Éric Rohmer (born Jean-Marie Maurice Scherer) was a French film director and screenwriter. He is regarded as a key figure in the post-war New Wave cinema and is a former editor of influential French film journal Cahiers du cinéma. He was also the brother of philosopher and pedagogist René Schérer.

Scherer fashioned his pseudonym from the names of two famous artists: actor and director Erich von Stroheim and writer Sax Rohmer, author of the Fu Manchu series.

Rohmer was the last of the French New Wave directors to become established. He worked as the editor of the Cahiers du cinéma periodical from 1957 to 1963, while most of his Cahiers colleagues, among them Jean-Luc Godard and François Truffaut, were making their names in international cinema.

看書的時候常常想著過去曾看過的侯麥電影,看起來簡單卻不簡單,各種瑣碎繁雜還往往遊走在道德邊緣的心思有點煩又有點好看,最喜歡《手槍》和《地鐵站的瘋子》。
