MANK<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Released on December 4 exclusively on Netflix, <em>Mank<\/em> is the latest feature film from David Fincher, the director famous for, among other things <em>Fight Club<\/em>. From the outset, the filmmaker sets the tone by explaining, in a text placed at the beginning of the film, that Orson Welles, aged 24, had obtained a contract from RKO giving him carte blanche to produce the film of his choice with whomever he wished. Welles, in search of success, turned to a certain American screenwriter whom the film world at the time considered \u00abfinished\u00bb. His name? Herman J. Mankiewicz, alias \u00abMank\u00bb. The film revolves around the screenwriter trying to write the script for Welles' next film, and the mysterious reasons why he decided to make it. <em>Mank<\/em> therefore belongs to the <em>biopic<\/em> (biographical film).<\/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<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>A story of revenge<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>But why are we interested in the life of Mr. Mankiewicz, you may ask? Because Mank is one of the co-writers of <em>Citizen Kane<\/em>, considered \u00abthe best film of all time\u00bb. In fact, it is, <em>Mank<\/em> traces the genesis of <em>Citizen Kane<\/em>, We also learn about the elements that inspired Mankiewicz to write the screenplay for this film. In the course of the film, we learn that, although Welles is co-writer of <em>Citizen Kane<\/em>, Mank did all the work and came up with the idea.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Now let's take a closer look at the <em>Mank<\/em>.In 1940, a strange trio arrives at a country house in Victorville: two women and a man with a leg in plaster and bedridden. It soon becomes clear that the latter is Herman Mankiewicz, and that it was Orson Welles who sent him on a \u00abwriting residency\u00bb, as we would say today, in the country. Mank, who had been in a car accident, met Welles in hospital - the meeting scene, incidentally, presents Welles as a kind of evil being with his long black hat and satanic laugh - and the latter offered to work for him. Welles wanted his film to be a hit. The problem was, he only gave Mank 60 days to write the script, and Mank was an alcoholic... Nourished by classical writers (Shakespeare, Cervantes...), Mank already had an idea in mind: he wanted to take a kind of revenge. The revenge of art on the world of money and hypocrisy. To achieve this, he will delve into his memories to bring his new work to life. It's up to viewers to discover why he's doing this, and who the \u00abculprits\u00bb are.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1552\" height=\"873\" src=\"http:\/\/leregardlibre.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/Mank_6-\u00a9-Netflix.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-38109\" srcset=\"https:\/\/leregardlibre.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/Mank_6-\u00a9-Netflix.jpg 1552w, https:\/\/leregardlibre.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/Mank_6-\u00a9-Netflix-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/leregardlibre.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/Mank_6-\u00a9-Netflix-150x84.jpg 150w, https:\/\/leregardlibre.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/Mank_6-\u00a9-Netflix-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/leregardlibre.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/Mank_6-\u00a9-Netflix-1170x658.jpg 1170w, https:\/\/leregardlibre.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/Mank_6-\u00a9-Netflix-585x329.jpg 585w, https:\/\/leregardlibre.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/Mank_6-\u00a9-Netflix-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/leregardlibre.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/Mank_6-\u00a9-Netflix-600x338.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1552px) 100vw, 1552px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>But let's state the obvious. It's difficult to fully grasp the originality of <em>Mank <\/em>without a vague idea of what it's like <em>Citizen Kane<\/em>, the story of newspaper magnate Charles Foster Kane, who on his deathbed utters one last word, \u00abRosebud\u00bb, which sets a journalist on a quest to find out the meaning of the word from people who knew Kane. Well, in <em>Mank<\/em> - at least according to the author of these lines - it's the story of revenge on a certain press magnate invested in the film business. A milieu with which Mank has little affinity...<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Hollywood and the '30s<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Firstly, from an aesthetic point of view. <em>Mank<\/em> relies on black and white images (such as <em>Citizen Kane<\/em>), giving the film a \u00abperiod film\u00bb feel, especially when it comes to the various flashbacks that punctuate the narrative. Here's another point in common with <em>Citizen Kane<\/em>a non-linear narrative with plenty of flashbacks. These take us back to Hollywood in the 1930s. We follow Mank, a successful screenwriter who regularly rubs shoulders with the stars of the <em>show business<\/em> and bigwigs such as newspaper magnate William Randolph Hearst, actress Marion Davies, Hearst's lover, and Louis B. Mayer, head of the Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer film production company.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n<p>In the midst of all this, Mank is certainly talented and well surrounded, but he's chosen the role of \u00abtoken clown\u00bb. He drinks too much and has a tendency to be too frank and direct. But in 1930s Hollywood - as today - it's all about the money. From social dinners to script discussions, Mank's opinions dissent from those of his associates. The event that ignites the fuse? A political campaign pitting Upton Sinclair, a socialist, against Frank Merriam, a Republican supported by the hero's inner circle, for the governorship of California, which will leave a bitter taste in Mank's mouth, especially as it shows him the \u00abpower of cinema\u00bb and the \u00abimmense responsibility\u00bb borne by the man who stands \u00abbehind the camera\u00bb.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So there are several stories integrated (flashbacks) into the framework story (Mank, who wrote the screenplay for <em>Citizen Kane<\/em>). Each flashback is introduced with precise chronological elements (place, year...) as if it were more than a memory, more like an archive. What's intriguing is the choice of framing. Often, there is an alternation between American shots and close-ups, which emphasize the physiognomy of the characters and, in particular, their different postures. For example, when Mank is \u00abconvalescing\u00bb, the camera often shows him in a waist-up shot when he's working, and in an American shot when he's sleeping, as if to emphasize these details.<\/p>\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=\"Mank | Official Trailer VOSTFR | Netflix France\" width=\"1000\" height=\"563\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/DJ2SrTN4mzY?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><figcaption>Official Mank trailer<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Mank <\/em>is an intriguing film. On the one hand, its material allows us to explore the life of Herman Mankiewicz and the Hollywood milieu of the \u00ab30s. On the other hand, far from being boring, the feature is easy to watch, not least because the flashbacks allow the reader to \u00bbcut away\" from the main plot and deepen his knowledge of Mank. Nevertheless, it has to be said that the film has a large number of characters and, without prior knowledge of these well-known figures, it's difficult to remember who's who in this story with drawers... A film to be watched patiently and, if possible, after having seen <em>Citizen Kane <\/em>before.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Write to the author: <a
