PIC INFO: Resolution at 1942x2916 -- Spotlight on unused artwork initially intended as poster art for American dark fantasy/family film "The Dark Crystal" (1982), co-directed by Jim Hensonâ & Frank Oz. Artwork by "Joann." Universal Pictures.
"Another world, another time, in the age of wonder. A thousand years ago, this land was green and good, until the Crystal cracked. For a single piece was lost; a shard of the Crystal. Then strife began, and two new races appeared: the cruel Skeksis, the gentle Mystics. Here in the castle of the Crystal, the Skeksis took control."
-- THE SCROLL KEEPER/HISTORIAN (the film's opening monologue, screenplay by David Odell)

THE DARK CRYSTAL (1982) Quand on parle de lĂ©gende, THE DARK CRYSTAL fait Ă©videmment partie des grands noms du CinĂ©ma auxquels se rĂ©fĂ©rer: nĂ© de la collaboration des immenses marionnettistes Jim Henson et Frank Oz, le long-mĂ©trage de fantasy âĂ lâancienneâ passe Ă la HD, doublant lâenvie de le revoir. Pas de remasterisation Ă proprement parler, mais un transfert visuel qui rend enfin honneur Ă la direction artistique de THE DARK CRYSTAL: on pourrait passer des heures Ă Ă©numĂ©rer le creature-design monstrueux -les Skeksis, les Garthim, les Mystics, et les hallucinants Ăchassiers du Vent- sâajoutant Ă la faune et Ă la flore ĂŽ combien inspirĂ©es, ainsi quâau travail approfondi sur les dĂ©cors fouillĂ©s et dĂ©taillĂ©s Ă lâenvi. THE DARK CRYSTAL est avant tout une baffe graphique pour son Ă©poque, qui surprend et fascine encore aujourdâhui tant lâaspect semble tangible: trente-six ans plus tard, on regrette de dĂ©couvrir le faciĂšs du hĂ©ros Elfling Jen, aux yeux pleins de vie mais Ă lâexpression rigide. Dâautres vieilleries viendront salir nos rĂ©tines -les chauves-souris de cristal-, mais lâensemble est si Ă©toffĂ© et dense quâon se laisse dĂ©vorer par les 1h28 du film: enchanteuse, la quĂȘte de Jen naĂźt de sombres Ă©vĂ©nements, pour se muter en conte Ă©pique qui a du inspire bien des Ćuvres. Ben oui, THE FIFTH ELEMENT (1997), des jeux vidĂ©o tels que RAYMAN -les rĂ©cents- ou ZELDA, ou peut-ĂȘtre mĂȘme la saga littĂ©raire des CHEVALIERS ĂMERAUDE -et beaucoup dâautres, me direz-vous- ont dĂ» sâinspirer du lore de THE DARK CRYSTAL, son background immense laissant forcĂ©ment des sĂ©quelles aux esprits crĂ©atifs. Loin de la sacro-sainte synchro labiale, THE DARK CRYSTAL parvient malgrĂ© ses dĂ©fauts -rares- Ă nous immerger dans lâhistoire, notamment par le pouvoir de sa beautĂ©, fantasme ultime de rĂŽliste et/ou paradis enchanteur pour amatrice de fĂ©Ă©rie. Mais attention, THE DARK CRYSTAL est bien DARK, et a traumatisĂ© bien de jeunes Ăąmes: il y a une noirceur, une fatalitĂ© proche des Contes de Grimm -une des inspirations du film-, mĂ©langĂ©e Ă un rĂ©cit-dĂ©couverte du type LORD OF THE RINGS (2001-2003) ou carrĂ©ment AVATAR (2009). De ce fait, une fois THE DARK CRYSTAL recontextualisĂ©, nous tenons lĂ un imposant monument du cinĂ©ma, Oz et Henson se servant de la camĂ©ra pour donner vie Ă lâimaginaire et au fantastique sans limites: spĂ©cial, artisanal et haut-de-gamme dans sa catĂ©gorie, le long-mĂ©trage nâa pas eu peur de BLADE RUNNER (1982), sorti la mĂȘme annĂ©e, gratifiant ses spectateurs dâun cadeau de NoĂ«l â82 inoubliable. La V.O. est un dĂ©lice, et le contenu toujours aussi bon: une Ă©tape obligatoire dans votre parcours de cinĂ©phage/cinĂ©phile. Regardez-le! CRĂATIVITĂ /20

La prima volta che ho visto Dark Crystal ero molto piccola.â â In un'epoca in cui la computer grafica non esisteva, un intero film fantasy senza personaggi umani mi Ăš sembrato semplicemente magnifico. In piĂč la storia Ăš stupenda.â â Di sicuro ha avuto un impatto potente sulla mia formazione artistica. Spero di tutto cuore che la serie TV di Netflix gli renda giustizia! đâ .â .â .â .â .â #touchedbyart #darkcrystal #darkcrystalmovie #thedarkcrystal #thedarkcrystalmovie â #photoshopart #photoshopartist #speedpainting #photoshopartwork #disegnodigitale â #anthroart #furryartist #furrycommunity #furryfandom â #anthroartist #furryart #furryfandomart #furrydrawing http://bit.ly/2MtcW2M
