All of a sudden, a UFO of the genre arrives on the scene, an eminently innovative work that overturns the codes of the biopic. <em>Barbara<\/em>. On the pretext of rediscovering the famous figure of French song, Mathieu Amalric's new film is above all a rediscovery of cinema.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more Lire la suite de l'article (en libre acc\u00e8s)-->\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe title=\"BARBARA Trailer (2017)\" width=\"1000\" height=\"563\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/Q0Vk2LfvTIA?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">A film within a film<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Mathieu Amalric is a director unlike any other. You can already see it in his face, which is full of perpetual astonishment. The French filmmaker constantly opens his eyes wide; perhaps this is the sign of a cinema that admires everything to do with people, with life, with cinema in short, and therefore admires itself. Mathieu Amalric couldn't make a conventional biopic. Nor could he make a biographical film at all.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Barbara<\/em>, released last week in French-speaking Switzerland, deviates from its title: it's not the singer who the film focuses on, but an actress, Brigitte (Jeanne Balibar), who is to play Barbara in a film. The director of this film within the film? Yves Sand, a Barbara fetishist, played by a certain... Mathieu Amalric. A film on at least two levels, playing on ambiguities to such an extent that the mise en ab\u00eeme and illusion seem to be about themselves. Grandiose.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The art of suggestion<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>There's no question, however, that the film teaches us nothing about Barbara. Or that it's just a pretext for the Amalric-Balibar pair to become a couple again, thanks to the cinema. <em>Barbara<\/em>, by refusing to tell the story of the singer's life as one might on a <em>power-point<\/em>, says more than any biography could. Indeed, it is through the small fragments of his daily life that we are able to penetrate the artist's intimate universe. It is through this series of tableaux, not scenes, that an existence, not a theater, is told.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Combining shadows and unspoken words, the film&nbsp;<em>Barbara<\/em>&nbsp;echoes the singer Barbara more finely than anyone could have imagined. Thanks to Mathieu Amalric, we rediscover the importance of suggestion.&nbsp;<em>\u00abIt's beautiful, someone creating a melody, searching for the words. These are the moments I wanted to show\u00bb.\u00bb<\/em>, explained the director. Barbara spends her days at the piano. In music, for music.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n<p>It's easy to see that it was through song alone that Balibar and Amalric (BaliBARBARAmalric) tried to capture their idea of Barbara, to represent her, to evoke her. In fact, it's not the best-known songs that the film highlights. What's more, the voice we hear is sometimes that of the fake Barbara, sometimes that of the real one, and the faces that carry it also vary between the two women. Actress and artist respond to each other and merge, exuding total emotion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Jeanne Barbara<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Indeed, the greatest credit goes to the woman who, in the end, emerges as the real star of the film, the new Barbara. Jeanne Balibar, more Jeanne Balibar than ever. As Yann Moix said on the first episode of the new season of\u2019<em>On n'est pas couch\u00e9<\/em>, on France 2, \u00abBarbara has an air of Jeanne Balibar about her.\u00bb The performance is so perfect and so natural, one wonders if Mathieu Amalric hasn't chosen to dedicate his eighth opus to the mother of his first two children. Witness the <em>Incestuous love<\/em>, a moment in the film that's impossible to forget.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<form method=\"post\" action=\"https:\/\/newsletter.infomaniak.com\/external\/submit\" class=\"inf-form\" target=\"_blank\"><input type=\"email\" name=\"email\" style=\"display:none\" \/><input type=\"hidden\" name=\"key\" value=\"eyJpdiI6IlZXRVJGMlRGQUU2alNqUE81bitIUk5adnNVa0c4MllFTStzOHdHT1FQZ3c9IiwidmFsdWUiOiJIYzhwMUVCK1pTNnlhY3MyMmhuZlhReWJqemEwNk93blMxTjFHc0s2VHZrPSIsIm1hYyI6ImVhYTQ5N2I1M2NiYWE4NzBmNjk2NzgzYjliM2Y5NmYzM2E2ZmU3NGQxNTU1ZDFkMTU1MzY5NTdjYjE3ZTJmNTUifQ==\"><input type=\"hidden\" name=\"webform_id\" value=\"7291\"><style> .inf-main_3000311ca56a1cb93397bc676c0b7fff{ background-color:#f5f5f5; padding:25px 20px; margin:25px auto; } .inf-main_3000311ca56a1cb93397bc676c0b7fff .inf-content { margin-top:13px;} .inf-main_3000311ca56a1cb93397bc676c0b7fff h4, .inf-main_3000311ca56a1cb93397bc676c0b7fff span, .inf-main_3000311ca56a1cb93397bc676c0b7fff label, .inf-main_3000311ca56a1cb93397bc676c0b7fff input, .inf-main_3000311ca56a1cb93397bc676c0b7fff .inf-submit, .inf-main_3000311ca56a1cb93397bc676c0b7fff .inf-success p a { color:#555555; font-size:14px; } .inf-main_3000311ca56a1cb93397bc676c0b7fff h4{ font-size:18px; margin:0px 0px 13px 0px; } .inf-main_3000311ca56a1cb93397bc676c0b7fff h4, .inf-main_3000311ca56a1cb93397bc676c0b7fff label{ font-weight:bold; } .inf-main_3000311ca56a1cb93397bc676c0b7fff .inf-input { margin-bottom:7px; } .inf-main_3000311ca56a1cb93397bc676c0b7fff label { display:block;} .inf-main_3000311ca56a1cb93397bc676c0b7fff input{ height:35px; color:#999999; border: 1px solid #E9E9E9; border:none; padding-left:7px; } .inf-main_3000311ca56a1cb93397bc676c0b7fff .inf-input.inf-error label, .inf-main_3000311ca56a1cb93397bc676c0b7fff .inf-input.inf-error span.inf-message{ color: #cc0033; } .inf-main_3000311ca56a1cb93397bc676c0b7fff .inf-input.inf-error input{ border: 1px solid #cc0033; } .inf-main_3000311ca56a1cb93397bc676c0b7fff .inf-input input { width:100%;} .inf-main_3000311ca56a1cb93397bc676c0b7fff .inf-input.inf-error span.inf-message { display: block; } .inf-main_3000311ca56a1cb93397bc676c0b7fff .inf-submit { text-align:right;} .inf-main_3000311ca56a1cb93397bc676c0b7fff .inf-submit input{ background-color:#777777; color:#ffffff; border:none; font-weight: normal; height:auto; padding:7px; } .inf-main_3000311ca56a1cb93397bc676c0b7fff .inf-submit input.disabled{ opacity: 0.4; } .inf-btn { color: rgb(85, 85, 85); border: medium none; font-weight: normal; height: auto; padding: 7px; display: inline-block; background-color: white; box-shadow: 0px 1px 1px rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.24); border-radius: 2px; line-height: 1em; } .inf-rgpd { margin:25px 0px 15px 0px; color:#555555; } <\/style> <div class=\"inf-main_3000311ca56a1cb93397bc676c0b7fff\"> <h4>NEWSLETTER DU REGARD LIBRE<\/h4> <span>Receive our articles every Sunday.<\/span> <div class=\"inf-success\" style=\"display:none\"> <h4>Your subscription to our weekly newsletter has been successfully registered!<\/h4> <p> <a href=\"#\" class=\"inf-btn\">\u00ab<\/a> <\/p> <\/div> <div class=\"inf-content\"> <div class=\"inf-input inf-input-text\"> <input type=\"text\" name=\"inf[1]\" data-inf-meta = \"1\" data-inf-error = \"Merci de renseigner une adresse email\" required=\"required\" placeholder=\"Email\" > <\/div> <div class=\"inf-submit\"> <input type=\"submit\" name=\"\" value=\"Sign up\"> <\/div> <\/div> <\/div> <\/form>\n\n\n\n<p>As the reviewer also asserted, the lack of resemblance (this is debatable, of course) between Barbara and Jeanne Balibar cannot be considered a flaw in the film. Far from it. By virtue of the two women's obvious dissimilarity, the viewer will, as if by magic, only see their similarities in the course of the film, and end up not even knowing the difference.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That's the magic of cinema. Mathieu Amalric has succeeded, without minutia, in showing us its purity. And that only happens a few times every half-century.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Write to the author: <a
