LA TUMULTUEUSE VIE D’UN DÉFLATÉ / THE HECTIC LIFE OF A DISMISSED WORKER<br />

PORTRAIT<br />

PORTRAIT<br />

CAMILLE PLAGNET<br />

Portrait tumultueux <strong>du</strong> «Grand Z», con<strong>du</strong>cteur <strong>de</strong> <strong>la</strong> locomotive Abidjan<br />

- Ouagadougou pendant 20 ans, licencié en 1995 par <strong>la</strong> Société <strong>de</strong>s<br />

chemins <strong>de</strong> Fer <strong>du</strong> Burkina Faso, à <strong>la</strong> suite <strong>de</strong> <strong>la</strong> privatisation imposée<br />

par <strong>la</strong> Banque Mondiale. Grand jouisseur impénitent, il fut alors terrassé<br />

en pleine allégresse, perdit tout, et coule <strong>de</strong>puis <strong>de</strong>s jours bien<br />

sombres en attendant sa pension <strong>de</strong> retraite.<br />

Ce film est une tragi-comédie d’Afrique. Où l’on verra errer dans les<br />

rues poussiéreuses <strong>de</strong> Ouagadougou et les maquis huileux <strong>de</strong> Bobo-<br />

Diou<strong>la</strong>sso, <strong>la</strong> gran<strong>de</strong> silhouette fragile d’un clown b<strong>la</strong>nc noir, mé<strong>la</strong>ncolique<br />

et espiègle. Où l’on entendra sa <strong>la</strong>ngue si particulière, ses mots<br />

brutaux et tourmentés raconter ses déboires passés et présents, ses<br />

haines et ses espoirs. Où l’on observera les grimaces émouvantes <strong>de</strong><br />

cet homme <strong>de</strong> 54 ans précocement vieilli d’avoir trop bu et trop pleuré,<br />

mais qui résiste en riant au fil <strong>du</strong> temps.<br />

VERSION PROVISOIRE / PROVISIONAL VERSION<br />

The film portrays the hectic life of the “Great Z”, an engine driver of the Abidjan-Ouagadougou<br />

line for 20 years, <strong>la</strong>id off in 1995 by the National Railways of<br />

Burkina Faso following the privatization imposed by the World Bank. An inveterate<br />

hedonist to the bone, he sud<strong>de</strong>nly found himself struck down as he was<br />

experiencing pure joyfulness. He lost everything, and has since then lived a<br />

gloomy life waiting for his retirement pension.<br />

The film is a tragicomedy from Africa. We will see the tall and fragile silhouette<br />

of a B<strong>la</strong>ck, whiteface clown, both me<strong>la</strong>ncholy and mischievous, wan<strong>de</strong>ring the<br />

<strong>du</strong>sty streets of Ouagadougou and greasy bars in Bobo-Diou<strong>la</strong>sso. We will hear<br />

his peculiar <strong>la</strong>nguage, his tormented and sharp words telling his past and current<br />

trials, his hatred and his hopes. We will watch the moving grimaces of the<br />

54-year-old man, prematurely old from heavy drinking and crying, who stands<br />

yet the test of time <strong>la</strong>ughing.<br />
