THE BLOB<br />

Cl<br />

première mondiale / premier film<br />

compétition <strong>international</strong>e<br />

C’est, semble-t-il, un prestigieux concours <strong>de</strong> citrouilles. Sur <strong>de</strong>s<br />

images muettes – citrouilles convoyées, pesées, mesurées –, aux<br />

États-Unis puis au Japon, <strong>de</strong>ux voix off, l’une d’homme, l’autre <strong>de</strong><br />

femme, délivr<strong>en</strong>t placi<strong>de</strong>m<strong>en</strong>t un discours qui n’a ri<strong>en</strong>, et tout à voir.<br />

On y parle <strong>de</strong>s idées et <strong>du</strong> lieu où elles naiss<strong>en</strong>t, <strong>du</strong> cerveau... Dans<br />

l’axe d’un comique pur, ce film joint <strong>de</strong>ux directions extrêmes <strong>du</strong><br />

docum<strong>en</strong>taire : l’<strong>en</strong>registrem<strong>en</strong>t <strong>du</strong> réel brut, y compris sous la forme<br />

molle d’une grosse citrouille, et la réinv<strong>en</strong>tion <strong>de</strong> ce qui, v<strong>en</strong>u <strong>du</strong><br />

mon<strong>de</strong>, s’offre à tous les délires. (EB)<br />

Appar<strong>en</strong>tly, it is a prestigious pumpkin competition. Over sil<strong>en</strong>t<br />

pictures – of pumpkins being transported, weighed and measured –<br />

in the USA th<strong>en</strong> in Japan, two off-scre<strong>en</strong> voices of a man and woman<br />

placidly <strong>de</strong>liver a discourse that has nothing and everything to do<br />

with them. They speak of i<strong>de</strong>as or the place where they are born,<br />

of the brain, and so on. In the tradition of pure comedy, this film<br />

combines two extreme directions of the docum<strong>en</strong>tary: the recording<br />

of raw reality, including the lifeless blob of a large pumpkin, and<br />

the reinv<strong>en</strong>tion of worldly objects that inspire all sorts of fr<strong>en</strong>zied<br />

imagination. (EB)<br />
