Arrival
(USA 2016)
âIf you could see your whole life from start to finish, would you change things?â
âLouise Banks
Denis Villeneuveâs Arrival isnât exactly what I expected. A sort of updated Close Encounters of the Third Kind, Eric Heissererâs adaptation of Ted Chiangâs Story of Your Lifeis a pretty straightforward observation about language. However, itâs a bit more academic than the average alienâŠ

 Synopsis : Lorsque de mystĂ©rieux vaisseaux venus du fond de lâespace surgissent un peu partout sur Terre, une Ă©quipe dâexperts est rassemblĂ©e sous la direction de la linguiste Louise Banks afin de tenter de comprendre leurs intentions. Face Ă lâĂ©nigme que constituent leur prĂ©sence et leurs messages mystĂ©rieux, les rĂ©actions dans le monde sont extrĂȘmes et lâhumanitĂ© se retrouve bientĂŽt au bord dâune guerre absolue. Louise Banks et son Ă©quipe nâont que trĂšs peu de temps pour trouver des rĂ©ponses. Pour les obtenir, la jeune femme va prendre un risque qui pourrait non seulement lui coĂ»ter la vie, mais dĂ©truire le genre humainâŠ
Origine du film : Ătats-Unis RĂ©alisateur : Denis Villeneuve ScĂ©nariste : Eric Heisserer Acteurs : Amy Adams, Jeremy Renner, Forest Whitaker, Michael Stuhlbarg, Tzi Ma, Mark OâBrien Musique : JĂłhann JĂłhannsson Genre : Drame, MystĂšre, Science-fiction DurĂ©e : 1 heure et 56 minutes Date de sortie : 7 dĂ©cembre 2016 (France) AnnĂ©e de production : 2016 SociĂ©tĂ©s de production : Lava Bear Films, 21 Laps Entertainment, FilmNation Entertainment DistribuĂ© par : Paramount Pictures Titre original : Arrival Notre note : â

Notre commentaire : âArrivalâ ou âPremier Contactâ est un film de science-fiction amĂ©ricain datant de 2016, rĂ©alisĂ© par Denis Villeneuve, Ă qui lâon doit Ă©galement âPrisonersâ (2013). Le scĂ©nario est signĂ© Eric Heisserer, Ă qui lâon doit Ă©galement le script de âDans le Noirâ (2016). Le film est basĂ© sur le roman âStory of Your Lifeâ de Ted Chiang. Les acteurs principaux sont Amy Adams, quâon a pu voir dans âArrĂȘte-moi si tu peuxâ (2002), Jeremy Renner, quâon a pu voir dans âAvengers, lâEre dâUltronâ (2015), Forest Whitaker, quâon a pu voir dans âĂtats de Chocâ (2007), Michael Stuhlbarg, quâon a pu voir dans âDoctor Strangeâ (2016) et Tzi Ma, quâon a pu voir dans âMillion Dollar Armâ (2014).
Denis Villeneuve voulait rĂ©aliser un film de science-fiction depuis un certain temps, bien quâil nâait jamais trouvĂ© le bon scĂ©nario. Pendant ce temps, le scĂ©nariste Eric Heisserer avait Ă©crit sans succĂšs une adaptation de la nouvelle de Ted Chiang âStory of Your Lifeâ, et au moment oĂč les producteurs lâont approchĂ© avec un projet de film de science-fiction, il avait largement abandonnĂ© son projet. Les producteurs ont cependant prĂ©sentĂ© le script Ă Denis Villeneuve, que le rĂ©alisateur a immĂ©diatement retenu lâidĂ©e. Ce dernier a changĂ© le titre une multitude de fois, mais celui qui fut finalement retenu Ă©tait le premier que lâĂ©quipe avait suggĂ©rĂ©.
Le script fait appel Ă un langage conçu par Martine Bertrand, basĂ© sur le concept original du scĂ©nariste. Stephen Wolfram et Christopher Wolfram lâont analysĂ© pour fournir la base du travail de Louise dans le film. Trois linguistes de lâUniversitĂ© McGill ont Ă©tĂ© consultĂ©s. Les fichiers sonores pour la langue Ă©trangĂšre ont Ă©tĂ© crĂ©Ă©s aprĂšs avoir consultĂ© Morgan Sonderegger, un expert en phonĂ©tique. Le tournage principal a dĂ©butĂ© le 7 juin 2015 Ă Montreal au Canada tout juste aprĂšs que Jeremy Renner eut terminĂ© le tournage de âCaptain America; Civil Warâ (2016).
En date du 29 janvier 2017, âPremier Contactâ avait engrangĂ© 97,4 millions de dollars aux Ătats-Unis et au Canada et 88 millions de dollars dans les autres pays pour un total mondial de 185 millions de dollars, contre un budget de 47 millions de dollars. Dans lâensemble, le film a reçu des commentaires positifs de la part de la critique.Â
La premiĂšre chose qui interpelle, câest essentiellement la prestation dâAmy Adams qui Ă©clipse complĂštement ses partenaires de jeu, qui ne sont pourtant pas des faire-valoirs, Ă savoir Jeremy Renner et Forest Whitaker. La mise en scĂšne permet Ă lâactrice dâapporter la dose de mystĂšre, Ă travers ce qui sâapparente Ă des flashbacks, mais qui finalement nâen sont pas, ce qui prendra forme Ă la fin du film.Â
Le mĂ©trage offre une expĂ©rience intĂ©ressante pour les passionnĂ©s de science-fiction, nâĂ©chappant cependant pas au sempiternel clichĂ© qui consiste Ă voir lâarrivĂ©e dâextraterrestres comme une menace quâil faut absolument dĂ©truire, quitte Ă ĂȘtre les premiers Ă ouvrir les hostilitĂ©s. NĂ©anmoins, en dehors de cette allĂ©gorie rĂ©currente, le film offre une approche novatrice du mode de fonctionnement, de communication, et de raisonnement des aliens, ce qui donne au mĂ©trage une tentative rĂ©solument nouvelle dâaborder le sujet. En outre, le mode de dĂ©glacement du vaisseau spatial est Ă©galement innovant, utilisant une forme de transformation gazeuse, plutĂŽt que la traditionnelle propulsion Ă©nergĂ©tique.Â
Enfin le film invite Ă la rĂ©flexion concernant lâentraide entre nations afin de rĂ©soudre les problĂšmes mondiaux. Bien entendu, on peut se focaliser sur les nuances par rapport Ă des mĂ©trages du type âInterstellarâ (2014) dans lâapproche des fameuses rencontres du troisiĂšme type dont Steven Spielberg avait ouvert magnifiquement la brĂšche en 1977. âPremier Contactâ a obtenu 187 nominations pour diffĂ©rentes cĂ©rĂ©monies de remise de prix et reçu 32 rĂ©compenses.Â
En conclusion, âPremier Contactâ est un trĂšs bon film de science-fiction, disposant dâune histoire classique, mais bĂ©nĂ©ficiant dâun dĂ©veloppement innovant et dâune mise en scĂšne soignĂ©e. Le rythme nâest pas trĂšs soutenu, mais lâunivers et les rĂ©flexions proposĂ©es sont propices Ă un dĂ©roulement poussif. La distribution est dâun niveau supĂ©rieur, mais câest Amy Adams qui bĂ©nĂ©ficie du rĂŽle le plus marquant. La photographie est plaisante et les visuels extĂ©rieurs des vaisseaux spatiaux sont originaux. Un film divertissant et intelligent.Â
