YATASTOHermes ParallueloCIpremière <strong>international</strong>e / compétition premier film / prix GNCRARGENTINE<strong>2011</strong>CouleurDigibéta/HDCam98’Version originaleEspagnolSous-titresAnglaisImageEzequiel Salinas,Hermes ParallueloSonFe<strong>de</strong>rico DisandroMontageHermes Paralluelo,Ezequiel SalinasAvecRicardo AntonioGuzmán, JoséManuel Leyria,Cesar FabiánGuzmánPro<strong>du</strong>ctionEl Calefõn CinePour son premier film Hermes Paralluelo est parti à la rencontre <strong>de</strong>cartoneros, chiffoniers par contrainte, à Villa Urquiza, quartier <strong>de</strong> lapériphérie <strong>de</strong> Cordoba, en Argentine. On connait le risque à filmer ledénuement matériel, son pathos, ses complaisances. À l’inverse <strong>de</strong> tellesfacilités, Paralluelo choisit sa distance. Elle est faite <strong>de</strong> patients planslarges et fixes où se déploient les conversations et s’entrevoient lesespaces déglingués. Un petit mon<strong>de</strong> s’ouvre à nous, d’où se détacheRicardo, au visage poupin <strong>de</strong> ses dix ans, entouré <strong>de</strong> ses cousins, Beboet Pata tout juste sortis <strong>de</strong> l’enfance, sa grand-mère et sa sœur aînée,attentive et affectueuse. Le grand rêve <strong>du</strong> gamin : un cheval <strong>de</strong> course.Pas celui <strong>de</strong> sa cariolle avec laquelle il collecte les déchets, mais unebelle bête qu’il veut nommer Yatasto, à la suite <strong>du</strong> pur sang mythique.Cette charrette avec laquelle lui et ses compagnons arpentent laville nous gui<strong>de</strong> dans <strong>de</strong> longues traversées au son entêtant <strong>de</strong>s sabotsqui rythment le film. Lent et dérisoire attelage, seul point <strong>de</strong> vue pourapercevoir, présent mais lointain, le mon<strong>de</strong> <strong>de</strong>s autres. Fixée sur lacharrette, la caméra fabrique un contrechamp à leurs discussions,travellings défilant <strong>de</strong>rrière eux, les rues qui se succè<strong>de</strong>nt, le ramassage,le flux <strong>de</strong> la circulation automobile. Figures urbaines d’un héroïsme <strong>de</strong>l’ordinaire, sans larmes ni cris ni fureur, mais qui ne renonce jamais. (NF)For his first film Hermes Paralluelo went to meet the cartoneros, rag-and-bone menthrough coercion, in Villa Urquiza, a district on the periphery of Cordoba inArgentina. We know the risk of filming <strong>de</strong>stitution in terms of pathos and in<strong>du</strong>lgence.In contrast to this facile approach, Paralluelo maintains his distance. It consists ofpatient, wi<strong>de</strong>, fixed shots in which conversations unfurl and ramshackle spaces areglimpsed. A little world is revealed to us, from which Ricardo, a baby-faced ten-yearold,stands out, surroun<strong>de</strong>d by his cousins, Bebo and Pata (themselves just out ofchildhood), his grandmother and his el<strong>de</strong>r sister, who are attentive and affectionate.The child’s big dream: a race horse. Not the horse which pulls his rubbish cart, buta beautiful beast he wants to call Yatasto, after the legendary thoroughbred. Thecart in which he and his companions cross the city gui<strong>de</strong>s us on long tripssyncopated by the dogged sound of horseshoes. This slow and <strong>de</strong>risory couplingprovi<strong>de</strong>s the only point of view for glimpsing the present but far-off world of others.The camera is fixed on the cart and creates a counterpoint to their discussionsthrough tracking shots of successive streets, garbage collection and the flux ofautomobile traffic. Urban figures of an everyday heroism, without tears or cries orfury, but which never lets up. (NF)068
