The Fondation Fellini pour le Cin\u00e9ma in Sion (VS) devoted an exhibition to him, in partnership with the Dennis Hopper Institute and the Cin\u00e9math\u00e8que Suisse. I was there, and I could feel the turning point that was the end of the sixties within Hollywood cinema. A retrospective with a taste for Harleys and the sound of LSD.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more Lire l'article-->\n\n\n\n<p>I don't need reminding. Or maybe you do. There are absolutely fascinating moments that consist of profound changes in the history of Western culture. The end of the sixties is one of them. At Christmas, my genial grandmother reminded me of this fundamental characteristic of the <em>sixties<\/em>\u00abThose were the days <em>baba-cool<\/em>. We were carefree. There was no violence. After that, everything changed.\u00bb Well said, Grandma. The art of summary and common sense, better than any encyclopedia. The formula is so well chosen that it lends itself wonderfully to my article. What makes the turn of the <em>sixties<\/em> and <em>seventies<\/em>, In a way, it was the end of a utopia. The proof was in the murder of Sharon Tate, Roman Polanski's wife at the time, by a Satanist hippie sect led by the guru Charles Manson.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>On the road to the \u00abnew Hollywood\u00bb<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>It was against this backdrop of progress towards the end of an idealized, quasi-cinematic world that cinema itself underwent a major revival. By the end of the 1950s, cinemas were emptying out and becoming almost deserted - a reminder of our own times. The traditional heroes of Hollywood productions no longer corresponded, if they ever did, to the imaginations of young viewers who were now committed and rebellious.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-cover has-background-dim\" style=\"background-image:url(https:\/\/leregardlibre.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/Monument_Valley_in_Arizona.jpg);min-height:438px;aspect-ratio:unset;\"><div class=\"wp-block-cover__inner-container is-layout-flow wp-block-cover-is-layout-flow\">\n<p><mark><strong>To order: our February issue \u00abMusic and Cinema: The Golden Age 1966 - 1975<\/strong>\u00bb<\/mark><\/p>\n\n\n<div data-block-name=\"woocommerce\/handpicked-products\" data-edit-mode=\"false\" data-products=\"[30776]\" class=\"wc-block-grid wp-block-handpicked-products wp-block-woocommerce-handpicked-products wc-block-handpicked-products has-3-columns has-multiple-rows\"><ul class=\"wc-block-grid__products\"><li class=\"wc-block-grid__product\">\n\t\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/leregardlibre.com\/en\/product\/le-regard-libre-no-59\/\" class=\"wc-block-grid__product-link\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"wc-block-grid__product-image\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"300\" height=\"424\" src=\"https:\/\/leregardlibre.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/Une-RL-N\u00b0-59-1-300x424.jpg\" class=\"attachment-woocommerce_thumbnail size-woocommerce_thumbnail\" alt=\"Le Regard Libre - N\u00ba 59\" srcset=\"https:\/\/leregardlibre.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/Une-RL-N\u00b0-59-1-300x424.jpg 300w, https:\/\/leregardlibre.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/Une-RL-N\u00b0-59-1-1920x2715.jpg 1920w, https:\/\/leregardlibre.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/Une-RL-N\u00b0-59-1-1170x1655.jpg 1170w, https:\/\/leregardlibre.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/Une-RL-N\u00b0-59-1-585x827.jpg 585w, https:\/\/leregardlibre.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/Une-RL-N\u00b0-59-1-106x150.jpg 106w, https:\/\/leregardlibre.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/Une-RL-N\u00b0-59-1-212x300.jpg 212w, https:\/\/leregardlibre.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/Une-RL-N\u00b0-59-1-768x1086.jpg 768w, https:\/\/leregardlibre.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/Une-RL-N\u00b0-59-1-724x1024.jpg 724w, https:\/\/leregardlibre.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/Une-RL-N\u00b0-59-1-1086x1536.jpg 1086w, https:\/\/leregardlibre.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/Une-RL-N\u00b0-59-1-1448x2048.jpg 1448w, https:\/\/leregardlibre.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/Une-RL-N\u00b0-59-1-600x849.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"wc-block-grid__product-title\">Le Regard Libre - N\u00ba 59<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"wc-block-grid__product-price price\"><span class=\"woocommerce-Price-amount amount\"><span class=\"woocommerce-Price-currencySymbol\">CHF<\/span>10.00<\/span><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"wp-block-button wc-block-grid__product-add-to-cart\"><a href=\"\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/30770?add-to-cart=30776\" aria-label=\"Add to cart: \u201cLe Regard Libre - N\u00ba 59\u201d\" data-quantity=\"1\" data-product_id=\"30776\" data-product_sku=\"\" data-price=\"10\" rel=\"nofollow\" class=\"wp-block-button__link  add_to_cart_button ajax_add_to_cart\">Add to cart<\/a><\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/li><\/ul><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Today, the success of the seventh art continues among young people <em>via<\/em> the Netflix platform. At that time, in the United States, the solution came in the form of pioneering feature films. <em>Bonnye and Clyde<\/em> and <em>The winner<\/em> were released in 1967 as a response to the young American generation's thirst for identification. Filmmakers <em>surfing<\/em> on the zeitgeist? Yes and no. Firstly, their works don't follow a fashion emanating from the art world, but rather a diffuse but powerful feeling within the nation itself. And it's always the encounter between a work as imagined by its creator and its potential reception, an encounter which in this case proves optimal. It's the very definition of a landmark film. A classic. Revolutionary or not.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/leregardlibre.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/Easy-Rider3-1969-Coll.-Cine\u0301mathe\u0300que-suisse-\u00a9-Tous-droits-re\u0301serve\u0301s-scaled.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-30771\"\/><figcaption>Easy Rider, 1969 Coll.

With the call of the road, the motorcycles, the acid, the thirst for novelty, of course. But also the paradox inherent in all those great films we now receive from Tarantino or Eastwood: that of a freedom that manifests itself above all as the object of nostalgia.
