00:01:21,535 --> 00:01:24,587
I don't really invent a lot of stuff,
what I -- I think I am a genius

15
00:01:24,589 --> 00:01:28,875
is in recognizing a good story
or something that I can expand

16

Michael Connelly here, 
I'm on Hong Kong harbor

and I'm standing on the set

please state your name.

>> Depuis son premier polar en 1992,

38
00:02:32,128 --> 00:02:35,336
les eaux usées ont continué à se déverser
dans les égouts de Los Angeles

39
00:02:35,671 --> 00:02:37,993
et Michael Connelly
y puise toujours son inspiration.

40
00:02:39,189 --> 00:02:42,323
>> My journalism job is really
the foundation of everything I do now.

41
00:02:42,323 --> 00:02:43,734
I did it for 14 years,

42
00:02:43,734 --> 00:02:46,323
so it's kind of like 14 years of research
for what I do.

43
00:02:46,591 --> 00:02:49,608
I was constantly absorbing and
putting stuff in my back pocket

44
00:02:49,608 --> 00:02:53,057
that didn't have any place
in a newspaper story

45
00:02:53,057 --> 00:02:55,517
but I knew were the kind of details
I could use

46
00:02:55,517 --> 00:02:59,299
when I would feel seasoned enough
to start writing books.

47
00:02:59,753 --> 00:03:02,063
Raymond Chandler is the guy
who brought me to the table.

48
00:03:02,063 --> 00:03:05,219
Philip Marlowe was
the original inspiration

49
00:03:05,219 --> 00:03:07,784
and he's a classic outsider.

50
00:03:09,090 --> 00:03:10,126
>> Can I help you, Sir?

51
00:03:10,862 --> 00:03:13,894
>> I am looking for a good mystery
on something off the beat and track,

52
00:03:13,894 --> 00:03:15,278
like "The Maltese Falcon".

53
00:03:15,375 --> 00:03:17,872
>> Marlowe is the outsider, looking in,

54
00:03:17,872 --> 00:03:20,752
untrusting of the police state, 
and so forth.

55
00:03:20,761 --> 00:03:22,356
>> Well, that was a fascinating story.

56
00:03:23,206 --> 00:03:25,973
But here is one that has everything
the Falcon had and more.

57
00:03:26,575 --> 00:03:29,341
It's Raymond Chandler's 
latest best-seller, "The Big Sleep".

58
00:03:29,799 --> 00:03:31,004
What a picture that'll make!

59
00:03:31,004 --> 00:03:32,705
On the other side of the incidents (check)

60
00:03:34,953 --> 00:03:37,539
was Joseph Wambaugh who wrote cop stories.

61
00:03:37,755 --> 00:03:40,770
I know there is no female in this,
but I always viewed Harry Bosch

62
00:03:40,770 --> 00:03:45,322
as the son of Raymond Chandler
and Joseph Wambaugh.

63
00:03:45,322 --> 00:03:47,830
>> Bosch, 
try to stay clear of whatever this is.

64
00:03:47,830 --> 00:03:50,378
>> Harry is an insider,
he is a representative of the state

65
00:03:50,712 --> 00:03:53,766
but he doesn't wear it well,
he's uncomfortable with it,

66
00:03:53,766 --> 00:03:54,973
he's burdened by it.

67
00:04:01,318 --> 00:04:04,682
The first time I set foot in Los Angeles,
I was already 30 years old

68
00:04:04,942 --> 00:04:10,092
but I was so steeped in its history
through its film and through its language,

69
00:04:10,103 --> 00:04:14,878
through this kind of books and they were
the ones that --

70
00:04:15,765 --> 00:04:17,674
especially Raymond Chandler made me say

71
00:04:17,674 --> 00:04:20,229
"I want to try to do this some day and
I want to try to do it there."

72
00:04:22,332 --> 00:04:24,598
You know, it's supposed to be
a beautiful place,

73
00:04:24,598 --> 00:04:26,657
but you know that 
as the carrousel goes round,

74
00:04:26,657 --> 00:04:28,084
you reach out and grab the ring.

75
00:04:28,491 --> 00:04:33,415
Los Angeles always misses the ring and so
there is this kind of tragic sadness

76
00:04:33,415 --> 00:04:35,642
about why this place
cannot get it together.

77
00:04:35,853 --> 00:04:40,091
And I think it does remain
and will always be my muse.

78
00:04:40,091 --> 00:04:43,222
>> Are you sure there's not anything
that you're not telling me?

79
00:04:43,222 --> 00:04:48,351
>> To me, research is more fruitful
if I'm sitting in a restaurant

80
00:04:48,351 --> 00:04:49,917
or maybe at a bar,

81
00:04:49,917 --> 00:04:53,764
and people are relaxed
and talking about their day.

82
00:04:53,764 --> 00:04:58,365
And it's funny: cops like their breakfast,
whereas I like to have a drink after work.

83
00:04:58,365 --> 00:05:02,070
And you know, people's voices change
when they start telling stories

84
00:05:02,070 --> 00:05:04,489
that are emotionally significant to them.

85
00:05:06,325 --> 00:05:10,507
Stories that mean something to people
really hit me and that's where --

86
00:05:10,507 --> 00:05:13,089
that's the point of inspiration for me.

87
00:05:13,892 --> 00:05:15,153
>> I think we're done here.

88
00:05:15,337 --> 00:05:17,831
>> We're not done here, not by a long shot.

89
00:05:28,133 --> 00:05:29,514
>> New York, années 50:

90
00:05:29,930 --> 00:05:33,240

dessinée par Guarnido prend vie:

91
00:05:33,780 --> 00:05:37,404
un univers hybride où les deux artistes
espagnols mêlent la fable au polar.

92
00:05:37,781 --> 00:05:40,347
Ambiance noire,
découpage cinématographique,

93
00:05:40,347 --> 00:05:43,366
scénario sous tension,
Blacksad est un succès planétaire.

94
00:05:48,648 --> 00:05:50,898
Dans cette superproduction
animale et graphique,

95
00:05:50,907 --> 00:05:54,604
le casting est central: le privé
John Blacksad a décroché le rôle

96
00:05:54,604 --> 00:05:57,256
en usant de son charme félin et
de son allure à la Brando.

97
00:05:58,609 --> 00:06:01,642
>> C'est un chat, 
donc c'est toutes les qualités:

98
00:06:01,642 --> 00:06:09,293
il est curieux, il a les sens aiguisés,
observateur, indépendant, agile, voilà.

99
00:06:09,582 --> 00:06:11,956
Bon tireur, il a l'oeil, 
il plaît aux femmes.

100
00:06:12,560 --> 00:06:15,085
Ça reste un personnage hybride,
c'est comme un --

101
00:06:15,221 --> 00:06:17,459
un crâne humain,
avec des proportions humaines

102
00:06:17,459 --> 00:06:20,485
mais avec des traits de chat dessus.

103
00:06:24,704 --> 00:06:27,212
Blacksad reste un polar très iconique,

104
00:06:27,212 --> 00:06:32,693
ça répond à des codes esthétiques,
narratifs de ce cinéma noir classique.

105
00:06:33,367 --> 00:06:39,222
>> Mais aussi, inévitablement, on est
des gens de notre siècle et voilà,

106
00:06:39,222 --> 00:06:45,943
quand Blacksad tire sur les méchants,
il est plus dans du Bruce Willis

107
00:06:45,943 --> 00:06:48,185
que dans du Humphrey Bogart.

108
00:06:48,790 --> 00:06:50,500
Ici, le commissaire est berger allemand,

109
00:06:50,500 --> 00:06:51,839
le journaliste, fouine,

110
00:06:52,439 --> 00:06:53,699
et à chaque tome, un nouveau casting.

111
00:06:54,127 --> 00:06:56,085
Le rôle peut être physique ou intello.

112
00:06:56,454 --> 00:06:59,221
Pour l'obtenir, il faut en général
savoir assumer sa réputation,

113
00:06:59,847 --> 00:07:01,986
[Finalement,
tu as bien un fond superstitieux...]

114
00:07:01,986 --> 00:07:04,789
[Que peut faire d'autre
un pauvre chat noir comme moi?]

115
00:07:04,789 --> 00:07:07,219
>> Le choix de l'animal, bien sûr
c'est toujours fait par rapport

116
00:07:07,219 --> 00:07:09,595
à son rôle dans l'histoire.

117
00:07:10,010 --> 00:07:13,954
Ça peut être un choix
par pur aspect physique du perso,

118
00:07:13,954 --> 00:07:17,140
si c'est un rhinocéros, ben voilà,
vous savez le rôle qu'il va avoir,

119
00:07:17,148 --> 00:07:18,026
de gros bras.

120
00:07:18,282 --> 00:07:23,830
Vous choisissez un porc comme barman,
ben tout est dit.

121
00:07:24,154 --> 00:07:27,456
Et d'autres fois,
ça va être en rapport avec --

122
00:07:28,496 --> 00:07:31,107
plutôt une notion culturelle.

123
00:07:31,379 --> 00:07:32,649
Parfois, c'est même des dictons.

124
00:07:32,837 --> 00:07:35,760
C'est parlant, les animaux,
ce langage parle à tout le monde.

125
00:07:35,760 --> 00:07:37,537
Moi, je ne fais que le constater.

126
00:07:37,863 --> 00:07:39,500
[Il existe plein de clichés à propos
de nous autres chats.]

127
00:07:39,500 --> 00:07:41,235
[L'un d'eux prétend
que nous avons sept vies.]

128
00:07:41,497 --> 00:07:43,985
[A vrai dire, je n'ai jamais voulu
le vérifier.]

129
00:07:57,566 --> 00:08:00,497
>> Les séries télés que je regarde, 
en fait, et que je re-regarde,

130
00:08:00,497 --> 00:08:02,770
c'est les "Avengers",
"Chapeau melon et bottes de cuir" en --

131
00:08:02,954 --> 00:08:04,984
avec Emma Peel, quoi, voilà,
en anglais, bon.

132
00:08:04,984 --> 00:08:10,167
[Chapeau melon et bottes de cuir.]

133
00:08:10,740 --> 00:08:14,112
>> La série des années 60,
so chic et British, a des fans inattendus,

134
00:08:14,256 --> 00:08:18,879
comme Caryl Férey, l'auteur rock
et révolté de "Mapuche", "Utu" ou "Zulu"

135
00:08:19,160 --> 00:08:21,282
dans lesquels les survivants
se comptent sur les doigts d'une main.

136
00:08:24,033 --> 00:08:25,524
Ou quand les opposés s'attirent.

137
00:08:26,944 --> 00:08:29,176
>> C'est drôle,
les personnages sont magnifiques,

138
00:08:29,176 --> 00:08:30,152
c'est hyper bien écrit.

139
00:08:30,505 --> 00:08:32,521
>> It feels very strange without a body.

140
00:08:33,251 --> 00:08:34,391
>> Not like home at all.

141
00:08:35,103 --> 00:08:36,844
>> I feel a deep sense of loss.

142
00:08:36,844 --> 00:08:39,512
Les scénarios son totalement incroyables,
vraiment, quoi.

143
00:08:40,161 --> 00:08:43,152
Il y a la cybernétique,
il y a tous les trucs de l'époque,

144
00:08:43,152 --> 00:08:44,618
ils sont hyper designés.

145
00:08:46,540 --> 00:08:49,798
>> Good morning, Mrs Peel.
>> Good morning, Steed, the door's open.

146
00:08:49,798 --> 00:08:50,822
Leurs fringues sont super:

147
00:08:50,822 --> 00:08:53,310
c'est impossible à faire en France,
impossible.

148
00:08:53,310 --> 00:08:54,330
Beaucoup trop original.

149
00:08:55,723 --> 00:08:58,710
>> The bearskin rug:
we haven't looked under there.

150
00:08:58,995 --> 00:09:01,148
>> Steed, whoever heard of finding a body
under a bearskin --

151
00:09:03,302 --> 00:09:05,879
bearskin / bare skin?

152
00:09:05,879 --> 00:09:07,421
It is a body.
