Critique : Les enfants du soleil

Par Jean-Jacques Corrio - 24 décembre 2021

Malgré une filmographie fournie, commencée en 1991 avec Baduk, présenté à la Quinzaine des Réalisateurs de Cannes, malgré les nombreuses récompenses que ses films ont remportées un peu partout dans le monde, Majid Majidi est loin d’être le plus connu des réalisateurs iraniens. Ce fut pourtant le premier réalisateur iranien à voir, en 1999, un de ses films, Les enfants du ciel, faire partie de la sélection ultime pour l’Oscar du film étranger. En fait, le cinéma de ce réalisateur de 62 ans, dont les films mettent souvent des enfants au premier plan, fait le lien, tout comme celui de Mohsen Makhmalbaf, entre celui d’Abbas Kiarostami et celui des réalisateurs plus récents, Asghar Farhadi, Jafar Panahi et autre Mohammad Rasoulof. Présenté dans la compétition officielle à la Mostra de Venise en 2020, Les enfants du soleil a obtenu le Prix de la lanterne magique.

Synopsis : À Téhéran, Ali, 12 ans, et ses trois amis, travaillent dur pour assurer leur survie et soutenir financièrement leurs familles. Ils font des petits boulots dans un garage et commettent de menus larcins pour gagner de l’argent facile. Ils sont embauchés par un mafieux pour déterrer un trésor enfoui sous l’école du Soleil. Les enfants doivent s’y inscrire. Ils devront trouver toutes les parades possibles pour creuser un tunnel tout en suivant leurs cours…

Quatre enfants des rues à Téhéran

Des enfants  entrant à peine dans l’adolescence et qui sont sous la coupe d’adultes qui les exploitent, par exemple en les forçant à voler, c’est un phénomène malheureusement très fréquent un peu partout dans le monde. Le film est d’ailleurs dédié aux plus de 200 millions d’enfants maltraités dans le monde. De tels enfants, il y en a en Iran, par exemple. C’est ainsi qu’Ali, un gamin de 12 ans qui veut absolument sauver sa mère, est le chef d’un quatuor bien organisé spécialisé dans le vol de roues de voitures de luxe. Un jour, toutefois, changement de programme : l’homme âgé qui exploite la petite bande parle à Ali d’un trésor situé sous un cimetière et qui ne serait accessible que par un tunnel dont l’entrée se trouverait au sein d’une école, « l’école du soleil ». Voilà le quatuor qui arrive (difficilement !) à intégrer cette école et qui va se mettre en danger dans un tunnel en très mauvais état afin de satisfaire l’exigence de leur exploiteur.

Le véritable trésor, c’est l’éducation

Vous aurez remarqué la brièveté du chapitre précédent. Ce film, en effet, peut faire l’objet d’un résumé très court. Et pourtant, il s’en passe, des choses ! Et pourtant, ce film est d’une très grande richesse sur de nombreux sujets. Bien sûr, nous avons toutes et tous en mémoire des films mettant en scène des enfants des rues, mais tant qu’il en restera, il sera possible, il sera sain de présenter des films abordant ce sujet sous un angle nouveau. Film sur la recherche d’un trésor par un quatuor d’enfants des rues, Les enfants du soleilutilise cette métaphore astucieuse du trésor pour montrer que le véritable trésor auquel ces enfants devraient tous pouvoir accéder, c’est l’éducation. Une éducation permettant à ces enfants de prendre conscience de ce qui est leur vraie richesse : eux-mêmes ! Installée à Téhéran par une ONG, « l’école du soleil » a une véritable existence. Gratuite pour les enfants des rues, elle a du mal à vivre car, si elle reçoit parfois des dons de la part d’entreprises, elle ne reçoit rien de la part de l’état.

Dans la bande d’Ali, on note la présence d’Abolfazl, un jeune afghan, particulièrement bon en maths par ailleurs, et de Zahra, sa petite sœur. Parmi tout ce que Les enfants du soleil nous apprend sur la vie actuelle en Iran, il y a en effet cette présence de réfugiés afghans, une présence importante en nombre et, tout particulièrement, parmi les enfants des rues : les familles sont entrées illégalement dans le pays, elles n’ont pas de papiers, ce qui empêche les enfants de s’inscrire à l’école. En vérité, grâce à Les enfants du soleil, notre « connaissance » de l’Iran se trouve enrichie sur de nombreux autres points. L’Iranà deux vitesses, par exemple. Certes, plusieurs films nous l’ont déjà montré, mais là, on prend de plein fouet l’opulence d’un centre commercial ultra-moderne face à la misère des enfants des rues. Un trajet dans le métro de Téhéran nous montre une population partagée en deux : dans ce métro très moderne, il y a les hommes d’un côté, les femmes de l’autre, aucun mélange. Et, plus anecdotique, un signe sur certains wagons indique les emplacements où on peut venir avec son vélo.

Un long travail bien récompensé

Trouver les interprètes pour incarner les gamins des rues de Téhéran a été un travail long et difficile : 3000 auditions, 4 mois de recherche. Un travail bien récompensé car les gamins et la gamine qui ont été retenu.e.s s’avèrent d’une très grande justesse. Abolfazl Shirzad et Shamila Shirzad, les interprètes d’Abolfazl et de Zahra, le frère et la sœur originaires d’Afghanistan, sont véritablement frère et sœur dans la vie et ce sont de véritables migrants afghans. Quant à Rouhollah Zamani, Ali dans le film, c’est vraiment une magnifique découverte : un gamin charismatique, plein d’énergie et excellent comédien. Les rôles adultes sont tenus par des comédiens et une comédienne professionnelle qui, heureusement, arrivent à être au même niveau d’excellence que les enfants. On remarque surtout Javad Ezati, l’interprète de Rafie, le sous-directeur de l’école du soleil, un homme plein de bonté, plein de bienveillance envers les enfants dont il a la charge. Film mêlant vision sociale et une certaine forme de suspense, film nous présentant une très belle qualité d’image grâce au talent de Hooman Behmanesh, le même Directeur de la photographie que pour La loi de Téhéran, L’école du soleil ne présente que deux défauts, relativement mineurs : quelques longueurs inutiles et des ellipses qui s’avèrent parfois un peu trop … elliptiques !

Conclusion

La recherche d’un trésor, imposée à des enfants des rues de Téhéran par un caïd local, a pour conséquence de leur montrer que, par les vertus de ce véritable trésor qu’est l’éducation, ils sont eux-mêmes leur propre richesse. Bien interprété, bien photographié, Les enfants du soleil vient s’ajouter à la longue liste des très bons films iraniens.

Sun Children

Recensie Sun Children ★★★ - vanaf 31-10 te zien op @LeidenIFF en vanaf 23-12 in de bioscoop Een niet heel spannende film over kansarme kinderen. Je kunt ook uittekenen hoe het afloopt. Een klein beetje humor doet de film overigens goed. #SunChildren

De dramafilm Sun Children gaat over de 12-jarige Ali. Hij en zijn vrienden gaan op zoek naar een schat onder een school, namens iemand anders. Moeten ze zich alleen nog wel aanmelden op die school. Wat wij van Sun Children vinden, lees je in onze recensie. (more…)

★入選 威尼斯影展競賽片最佳影片 ★榮獲 威尼斯影展最佳新演員獎 ★2021 奧斯卡最佳國際影片伊朗代表 入選十五強

阿里是一個在街頭求生存的少年，雖然年僅12歲的小小年紀卻是一個經驗老到的小混混，在處處是危機也處處是黃金的大城市，冒著被警察逮到的危險偷拐搶騙、變賣贓物，只求能賺得一些小錢維持溫飽來養活自己和家人。突然有一天他被抓去見一位地方上頗有勢力的老大，老大吩咐他混進一所學校，但上課不是他真正的目的，重要的是他要在學校挖掘地道，因為下面藏匿著不為人知的寶藏！

阿里對這個地下寶藏充滿了各種想像，不管是黃金還是珠寶，他相信這份寶藏一定能為他帶來一大筆財富。一心想要賺到大筆財富的阿里，找來和他一起在街頭打拼的死黨，他們絕對是完成這個「尋寶計畫」最佳搭擋。當他們順理成章進入這所專為流落街頭、無法接受正規教育的孩童所創立的學校之後，他們在課���與地道之間徘徊，還要跟老師們捉迷藏，只希望最終能挖到寶藏，替自己找到一條脫離貧困的生路。

【關於電影】

導演馬吉德借《淘寶少年》盼喚醒人們重視  全球1.5億孩童教育權 代表伊朗進入奧斯卡最佳國際影片15強  威尼斯影展最佳新演員等獎項 截至目前為止全球約有1.5億的孩子們為了維持生計而不得不放棄受教機會，《淘寶少年》就是一部聚焦於這些深陷困境的童工們的電影。即使有許多國際組織正為這個議題努力不懈，但仍然不敵嚴酷的現實狀況，還是有許多受教權被剝奪的孩子亟待協助。導演馬吉德．馬吉迪的靈感來自於一間位於德黑蘭專為童工所設置的特別學校，和一個希望脫貧的孩童夢想，因此拍攝了《淘寶少年》，他更期盼這部電影可以喚醒更多人關注他們的未來。 然而，比起一部深切探討童工受教權的嚴肅說教電影，導演其實更想要拍出一部有娛樂性、能量滿滿的作品，因此利用「挖寶藏」的冒險行動帶入更多緊張刺激的元素，讓全世界看到其實這些孩子們是非常機智、敏銳且擅於觀察的。導演也成功地將這一部作品帶上國際影展的舞台，不僅入選威尼斯影展最佳影片，同時也獲得Lanterna Magica Award大獎和最佳新演員獎，更代表伊朗進入奧斯卡最佳國際影片最後15強。

最擅長拍攝年輕演員的導演馬吉迪  從孩子身上看到最純粹光芒 歷經4個月從三千名孩童中海選角色 剔除每一個人都是煎熬 早已是世界級知名導演的馬吉迪，在1997年入圍奧斯卡最佳外語片《天堂的孩子》是影癡們最熟悉的影片之一，他以擅長拍攝兒童演員而著名，導演表示在孩子們的身上，他看到了不容置疑的真實性，不僅容易讓觀眾產生同理心，同時跟這些童星演員合作也能激發他更多的靈感，孩子們的熱情、原創性、想像力和自由使他們能夠參與各種不同的冒險。

導演坦承在製作每一部作品時，選角絕對是最耗時、最困難也最複雜的程序，這次拍攝《淘寶少年》就花了���個月的時間，歷經超過三千場試鏡才把演員都確定下來，每剔除一個孩子對導演來說都非常煎熬，深怕粉碎了他們的夢想。一旦找到對的演員，導演的工作就幾乎完成了一半，他刻劃出每個角色的深度，就交由他們將自己的天賦和熱情展現在鏡頭前。孩子們在片中有許多即興演出，讓馬吉迪可以完美捕捉他們最純真的一面，有時這些即興創作甚至比照著劇本演出還要更加精彩。 在片中許多主要演員在真實生活中就是童工，像是飾演薩拉的莎蜜拉(Shamila Shizad) 和她弟弟，他們在戲裡戲外都是來自阿富汗的移民，他們一天中一半的時間要去街上工作，剩下時間才去專為童工設立的學校唸書。但是莎蜜拉充滿魅力的演出，在電影中展露的光芒絕對是經驗老道的演員也無法靠演技表現的，因為那完全就是他們從生活經驗汲取的鏡頭能量。另外飾演主角阿里的羅霍拉 (Rouhollah Zamani)更是演技完美詮釋的天才童星，從來不曾演戲的他渾身充滿了原始能量，他的演出總是有超乎預期的表現，他渴望成功的野心就跟角色的個性如出一徹，這也是他能夠脫穎而出的關鍵之一，而他精彩的演出更讓他拿下了威尼斯影展的最佳新演員獎。

耗時1個月打造挖寶藏地道  為了演員能夠容身及攝影機運動空間 為求順利完成進行無數次無攝影機排演  地鐵場景挑戰一次到位 在《淘寶少年》中，除了演員之外，另外一個主角就是挖寶藏的地道，劇組耗費心力打造出來的地道和水槽，絕對是電影中最艱鉅的一項任務。因為這條地道裡除了要能夠讓演員活動自如之外，同時也需要足夠的空間架設攝影機，並從不同角度來進行拍攝。因此光是挖掘整個地道的場景，就花了將近一個月的時間才準備完成。

除了地道外，電影中大部分的場景幾乎是實景拍攝，導演希望能藉此達到如同紀錄片般的寫實感。其中有一場在地鐵站拍攝的實景戲，更因為處於繁忙的交通時刻無法為了拍攝而停止運輸工作，加上許多繁瑣的規定而讓拍攝更加辛苦。為了因應這個狀況，導演只能讓演員們在沒有攝影機拍攝的狀況下不斷地排練，因為場地的限制，即使是情緒緊張高昂的追逐戲，最多也只有兩次機會可以拍攝。還好最後小演員們終於不負眾望帶來最自然又到位的演出，也成為《淘寶少年》中最亮眼的一場戲。

Dariush Mehrjui's The Cow (1969)

Submitted by Jan-Christopher Horak on June 10, 2016 - 9:00 am

The Cow  (1969)

On May 13 as part of the UCLA Celebration of Iranian Cinema, professor Hamid Naficy from Northwestern University introduced Dariush Mehrjui’s 1969 film The Cow, and signed copies of his massive, four-volume book, A Social History of Iranian Cinema (Duke University Press, 2011-12).  We were honored to have Hamid at the screening, because in 1990 he was the progenitor of the Iranian film festival and he earned his Ph.D. at UCLA.  Furthermore, Hamid and I have long shared a research interest in Exile Studies, he from the Iranian and Third World perspective, mine dedicated to the German-Jewish exiles from Hitler.  I had heard about The Cow as an important precursor to Iran’s post-revolutionary cinema of Abbas Kiarostami et al, but was unprepared for seeing an original masterpiece.

The film announces its high art intentions in the credits sequence with a completely out of focus, black and white negative image of what appears to be a man and a cow moving towards the camera.  The two abstracted figures keep melding together, then separating, foreshadowing what will be the drama’s central narrative conceit.  The film concerns a dirt poor farmer in the arid hinterlands of Persia, who loves and dotes over his cow.  She is the apple of Hassan’s eye, accompanying her out to pasture daily to graze on grass, seemingly closer to his heart than his wife.  When he feeds her fresh cut clover, he nozzles her and pretends to chew with her.  The cow is also pregnant, so that the farmer takes on the role of the soon-be-become father, since he and his wife have no visible children.

The Cow  (1969)

Everyone in the tiny village partakes in his happiness, because they have even less than he does, and no one else has a cow.  Indeed, it is unclear how the villagers live at all, given we see no other commercial or agricultural activity, no vehicles, except for a single donkey cart; we see no vegetation or gardens, only barren, clay and stone structures.  There are virtually no interiors, except the stall of the bovine.  All village life seemingly takes place around a pond with numerous spectators only seen in windows.  It is there that the village idiot is merciless and repeatedly harassed by roving street urchins, that preparations are made for the wedding of a young  couple, and where villagers gather to deal with the film’s major crisis.

When Hassan takes a short trip to the capital, the cow suddenly dies.  The villagers debate what is to be done, worried that the well-liked farmer will not survive the bad news; so they bury the cow in the old village well and plan to tell Hassan that his cow has wandered off and can’t be found.  Hassan, upon his return, refuses to believe that his cow has abandoned him and slowly takes on the cow’s personality, living in the stall and eating only grass. Realizing that the farmer has descended into madness, Eslam and other villagers are forced to tie him up and drag him to the nearest hospital, against his will, beating him like an animal to get him to move forward.  The man/cow eventually breaks free in a rainstorm and falls to his death.

The Cow  (1969)

A UCLA film student and philosophy graduate, Dariush Mehrjui directed his first feature in 1966 in Teheran, a commercial spy movie, before producing The Cow with funding from the Shah of Iran.  Upon completion, the film was immediately banned in Iran for its negative portrayal of the impoverished Iranian countryside – Hamid Naficy mentioned in his introduction that Mehrjui was forced to whitewash the village before shooting, so it didn’t look quite as decrepit.  The film was smuggled out of Iran and won the FIPRESCI critics prize at the Venice Film Festival in 1971, as well as a subsequent prize in Berlin, before finally being screened in Iran.  Mehrjui,  of course, went on to make many other important films before and after the revolution, including The Cycle (1978), Hamoun (1990) and Santouri (2007).

With The Cow, Mehrjui creates a unique blend of realism and absurdist folktale.  Influenced by Italian neorealism and his teacher at UCLA, Jean Renoir, the director coaxes incredibly nuanced and realistic portrayals from his actors, especially Ezzatolah Entezami, who deservedly won an acting prize at the Chicago Film Festival for his amazing performance; his face and body literally begin to look like his cow after he takes on the animal’s persona.  The cast of professional stage actors, all of whom got their first film experience with The Cow, also communicate the anguish and perplexed looks of villagers confronted with a phenomenon they do not understand.  Mehrjui’s stunning, yet sparse cinematography consistently frames individual villagers and groups in tight closeups or through windows, doors, and above walls, limiting our vision, and that of the villagers to move around in space; it is an unchanging world that suddenly appears to fall out of its anchor when the cow dies.  But mysteries remain: three shadowy figures from another village may have killed the cow, appearing periodically in the village and on a distant hillside.  Hassan’s metamorphosis, like that of Kafka’s clerk, remains unknowable, as do the quasi-religious rituals performed by an old woman.  

The Cow  (1969)

This is a deeply moving film about what it means to be human.  Some critics have claimed it is a parable about governments lying to their constituents, leading to unforeseen consequences, but it seems clear that the film would have had the same outcome, if Hassan had been told the truth, since it is his pathology to identify with the cow, even before she disappears.  He may behave like an animal, but only humans are capable of that depth of empathy.  This newly restored, beautifully balanced print from the National Film Archives of Iran allowed the audience at the Billy Wilder Theater to glimpse that depth.

The Cow

Recensie The Cow ★★★1/2 - te zien op @IFFR Unleashed: 50/50 Een prettig aangename een fraaie film uit 1969, waarin saamhorigheid een belangrijke rol speelt. Een kleine film met een groots en warm verhaal. #TheCow #IFFR

De dramafilm The Cow gaat over Masht Hassan en zijn koe. Als die koe is overleden, houden zijn dorpsgenoten dit angstvallig stil voor hem, wetende dat Hassan het verlies niet aankan. Dat blijkt ook snel te kloppen. Wat wij van The Cow vinden, lees je in onze recensie. Continue reading
