00:00:32.545 --> 00:00:36.784
c'est toute une panoplie de possibilités
de parler de l'être humain.

(MUSIQUE EVOQUANT LES POLARS,

00:01:19.693 --> 00:01:21.535
>> I don't really think I am
a creative genius.

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

00:01:24.589 --> 00:01:28.875
is in recognizing a good story
or something that I can expand

00:01:28.875 --> 00:01:31.434
or something that I can
take that story and attitude

00:01:32.541 --> 00:01:33.659
>> Américain pur jus,

00:01:33.659 --> 00:01:36.351
Michael Connelly est aujourd'hui
retourné sous le soleil de Floride

00:01:36.351 --> 00:01:37.379
pour écrire ses histoires:

00:01:37.825 --> 00:01:39.839
des polars ancrés
dans les bas-fonds de Los Angeles.

00:01:40.524 --> 00:01:42.678
L'ancien journaliste du L.A: Times
est prolifique.

00:01:45.547 --> 00:01:46.904
>> Hi, I'm Michael Connelly

00:01:46.904 --> 00:01:49.323
Michael Connelly here, 
I'm on Hong Kong harbor

00:01:49.323 --> 00:01:51.742
and I'm standing on the set
of the "Lincoln Lawyer" film

00:01:51.742 --> 00:01:53.438
I'm Michael Connelly, in Los Angeles,

00:01:53.438 --> 00:01:55.508
I want to tell you a little bit
about my new book

00:01:55.508 --> 00:01:57.495
I hope you get a chance to read it
and you enjoy it.

00:01:57.495 --> 00:01:59.518
It will be available
wherever books are sold.

00:02:00.515 --> 00:02:02.478
>> 60 millions de livres
vendus dans le monde.

00:02:02.478 --> 00:02:04.941
Adulé par la critique,
il l'est aussi par ses pairs.

00:02:05.442 --> 00:02:08.377
Stephen King himself considère
"Le poète" comme un classique.

00:02:09.229 --> 00:02:12.866
Clint Eastwood ou Matthew McConaughey
ont interprété ses héros sur grand écran

00:02:13.328 --> 00:02:16.571
et Hieronymous Bosch, dit "Harry Bosch",
son privé préféré,

00:02:16.877 --> 00:02:19.464
a pris corps il y a deux ans
dans la série éponyme qu'il a créée.

00:02:20.533 --> 00:02:22.062
>> For the record,
please state your name.

00:02:22.718 --> 00:02:25.192
>> Hieronymus Bosch, detective,
Hollywood division.

00:02:29.636 --> 00:02:31.888
>> Depuis son premier polar en 1992,

00:02:32.128 --> 00:02:35.336
les eaux usées ont continué à se déverser
dans les égouts de Los Angeles

00:02:35.671 --> 00:02:37.993
et Michael Connelly
y puise toujours son inspiration.

00:02:39.189 --> 00:02:42.323
>> My journalism job is really
the foundation of everything I do now.

00:02:42.323 --> 00:02:43.734
I did it for 14 years,

00:02:43.734 --> 00:02:46.323
so it's kind of like 14 years of research
for what I do.

00:02:46.591 --> 00:02:49.608
I was constantly absorbing and
putting stuff in my back pocket

00:02:49.608 --> 00:02:53.057
that didn't have any place
in a newspaper story

00:02:53.057 --> 00:02:55.517
but I knew were the kind of details
I could use

00:02:55.517 --> 00:02:59.299
when I would feel seasoned enough
to start writing books.

00:02:59.753 --> 00:03:02.063
Raymond Chandler is the guy
who brought me to the table.

00:03:02.063 --> 00:03:05.219
Philip Marlowe was
the original inspiration

00:03:05.219 --> 00:03:07.784
and he's a classic outsider.

00:03:09.090 --> 00:03:10.126
>> Can I help you, Sir?

00:03:10.862 --> 00:03:13.894
>> I am looking for a good mystery
on something off the beat and track,

00:03:13.894 --> 00:03:15.278
like "The Maltese Falcon".

00:03:15.375 --> 00:03:17.872
>> Marlowe is the outsider, looking in,

00:03:17.872 --> 00:03:20.752
untrusting of the police state, 
and so forth.

00:03:20.761 --> 00:03:22.356
>> Well, that was a fascinating story.

00:03:23.206 --> 00:03:25.973
But here is one that has everything
the Falcon had and more.

00:03:26.575 --> 00:03:29.341
It's Raymond Chandler's 
latest best-seller, "The Big Sleep".

00:03:29.799 --> 00:03:31.004
What a picture that'll make!

00:03:31.004 --> 00:03:32.705
On the other side of the incidents (check)

00:03:34.953 --> 00:03:37.539
was Joseph Wambaugh who wrote cop stories.

00:03:37.755 --> 00:03:40.770
I know there is no female in this,
but I always viewed Harry Bosch

00:03:40.770 --> 00:03:45.322
as the son of Raymond Chandler
and Joseph Wambaugh.

00:03:45.322 --> 00:03:47.830
>> Bosch, 
try to stay clear of whatever this is.

00:03:47.830 --> 00:03:50.378
>> Harry is an insider,
he is a representative of the state

00:03:50.712 --> 00:03:53.766
but he doesn't wear it well,
he's uncomfortable with it,

00:03:53.766 --> 00:03:54.973
he's burdened by it.

00:04:01.318 --> 00:04:04.682
The first time I set foot in Los Angeles,
I was already 30 years old

00:04:04.942 --> 00:04:10.092
but I was so steeped in its history
through its film and through its language,

00:04:10.103 --> 00:04:14.878
through this kind of books and they were
the ones that --

00:04:15.765 --> 00:04:17.674
especially Raymond Chandler made me say

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."

00:04:22.332 --> 00:04:24.598
You know, it's supposed to be
a beautiful place,

00:04:24.598 --> 00:04:26.657
but you know that 
as the carrousel goes round,

00:04:26.657 --> 00:04:28.084
you reach out and grab the ring.

00:04:28.491 --> 00:04:33.415
Los Angeles always misses the ring and so
there is this kind of tragic sadness

00:04:33.415 --> 00:04:35.642
about why this place
cannot get it together.

00:04:35.853 --> 00:04:40.091
And I think it does remain
and will always be my muse.

00:04:40.091 --> 00:04:43.222
>> Are you sure there's not anything
that you're not telling me?

00:04:43.222 --> 00:04:48.351
>> To me, research is more fruitful
if I'm sitting in a restaurant

00:04:48.351 --> 00:04:49.917
or maybe at a bar,

00:04:49.917 --> 00:04:53.764
and people are relaxed
and talking about their day.

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.

00:04:58.365 --> 00:05:02.070
And you know, people's voices change
when they start telling stories

00:05:02.070 --> 00:05:04.489
that are emotionally significant to them.

00:05:06.325 --> 00:05:10.507
Stories that mean something to people
really hit me and that's where --

00:05:10.507 --> 00:05:13.089
that's the point of inspiration for me.

00:05:13.892 --> 00:05:15.153
>> I think we're done here.

00:05:15.337 --> 00:05:17.831
>> We're not done here, not by a long shot.

00:05:28.133 --> 00:05:29.514
>> New York, années 50:

00:05:29.930 --> 00:05:33.240
la faune imaginée par Canales et 
dessinée par Guarnido prend vie:

00:05:33.780 --> 00:05:37.404
un univers hybride où les deux artistes
espagnols mêlent la fable au polar.

00:05:37.781 --> 00:05:40.347
Ambiance noire,
découpage cinématographique,

00:05:40.347 --> 00:05:43.366
scénario sous tension,
Blacksad est un succès planétaire.

00:05:48.648 --> 00:05:50.898
Dans cette superproduction
animale et graphique,

00:05:50.907 --> 00:05:54.604
le casting est central: le privé
John Blacksad a décroché le rôle

00:05:54.604 --> 00:05:57.256
en usant de son charme félin et
de son allure à la Brando.

00:05:58.609 --> 00:06:01.642
>> C'est un chat, 
donc c'est toutes les qualités:

00:06:01.642 --> 00:06:09.293
il est curieux, il a les sens aiguisés,
observateur, indépendant, agile, voilà.

00:06:09.582 --> 00:06:11.956
Bon tireur, il a l'oeil, 
il plaît aux femmes.

00:06:12.560 --> 00:06:15.085
Ça reste un personnage hybride,
c'est comme un --

00:06:15.221 --> 00:06:17.459
un crâne humain,
avec des proportions humaines

00:06:17.459 --> 00:06:20.485
mais avec des traits de chat dessus.

00:06:24.704 --> 00:06:27.212
Blacksad reste un polar très iconique,

00:06:27.212 --> 00:06:32.693
ça répond à des codes esthétiques,
narratifs de ce cinéma noir classique.

00:06:33.367 --> 00:06:39.222
>> Mais aussi, inévitablement, on est
des gens de notre siècle et voilà,

00:06:39.222 --> 00:06:45.943
quand Blacksad tire sur les méchants,
il est plus dans du Bruce Willis

00:06:45.943 --> 00:06:48.185
que dans du Humphrey Bogart.

00:06:48.790 --> 00:06:50.500
Ici, le commissaire est berger allemand,

00:06:50.500 --> 00:06:51.839
le journaliste, fouine,

00:06:52.439 --> 00:06:53.699
et à chaque tome, un nouveau casting.

00:06:54.127 --> 00:06:56.085
Le rôle peut être physique ou intello.

00:06:56.454 --> 00:06:59.221
Pour l'obtenir, il faut en général
savoir assumer sa réputation,

00:06:59.847 --> 00:07:01.986
[Finalement,
tu as bien un fond superstitieux...]

00:07:01.986 --> 00:07:04.789
[Que peut faire d'autre
un pauvre chat noir comme moi?]

00:07:04.789 --> 00:07:07.219
>> Le choix de l'animal, bien sûr
c'est toujours fait par rapport

00:07:07.219 --> 00:07:09.595
à son rôle dans l'histoire.

00:07:10.010 --> 00:07:13.954
Ça peut être un choix
par pur aspect physique du perso,

00:07:13.954 --> 00:07:17.140
si c'est un rhinocéros, ben voilà,
vous savez le rôle qu'il va avoir,

00:07:17.148 --> 00:07:18.026
de gros bras.

00:07:18.282 --> 00:07:23.830
Vous choisissez un porc comme barman,
ben tout est dit.

00:07:24.154 --> 00:07:27.456
Et d'autres fois,
ça va être en rapport avec --

00:07:28.496 --> 00:07:31.107
plutôt une notion culturelle.

00:07:31.379 --> 00:07:32.649
Parfois, c'est même des dictons.

00:07:32.837 --> 00:07:35.760
C'est parlant, les animaux,
ce langage parle à tout le monde.

00:07:35.760 --> 00:07:37.537
Moi, je ne fais que le constater.

00:07:37.863 --> 00:07:39.500
[Il existe plein de clichés à propos
de nous autres chats.]

00:07:39.500 --> 00:07:41.235
[L'un d'eux prétend
que nous avons sept vies.]

00:07:41.497 --> 00:07:43.985
[A vrai dire, je n'ai jamais voulu
le vérifier.]

00:07:57.566 --> 00:08:00.497
>> Les séries télés que je regarde, 
en fait, et que je re-regarde,

00:08:00.497 --> 00:08:02.770
c'est les "Avengers",
"Chapeau melon et bottes de cuir" en --

00:08:02.954 --> 00:08:04.984
avec Emma Peel, quoi, voilà,
en anglais, bon.

00:08:04.984 --> 00:08:10.167
[Chapeau melon et bottes de cuir.]

00:08:10.740 --> 00:08:14.112
>> La série des années 60,
so chic et British, a des fans inattendus,

00:08:14.256 --> 00:08:18.879
comme Caryl Férey, l'auteur rock
et révolté de "Mapuche", "Utu" ou "Zulu"

00:08:19.160 --> 00:08:21.282
dans lesquels les survivants
se comptent sur les doigts d'une main.

00:08:24.033 --> 00:08:25.524
Ou quand les opposés s'attirent.

00:08:26.944 --> 00:08:29.176
>> C'est drôle,
les personnages sont magnifiques,

00:08:29.176 --> 00:08:30.152
c'est hyper bien écrit.

00:08:30.505 --> 00:08:32.521
>> It feels very strange without a body.

00:08:33.251 --> 00:08:34.391
>> Not like home at all.

00:08:35.103 --> 00:08:36.844
>> I feel a deep sense of loss.

00:08:36.844 --> 00:08:39.512
Les scénarios son totalement incroyables,
vraiment, quoi.

00:08:40.161 --> 00:08:43.152
Il y a la cybernétique,
il y a tous les trucs de l'époque,

00:08:43.152 --> 00:08:44.618
ils sont hyper designés.

00:08:46.540 --> 00:08:49.798
>> Good morning, Mrs Peel.
>> Good morning, Steed, the door's open.

00:08:49.798 --> 00:08:50.822
Leurs fringues sont super:

00:08:50.822 --> 00:08:53.310
c'est impossible à faire en France,
impossible.

00:08:53.310 --> 00:08:54.330
Beaucoup trop original.

00:08:55.723 --> 00:08:58.710
>> The bearskin rug:
we haven't looked under there.

00:08:58.995 --> 00:09:01.148
>> Steed, whoever heard of finding a body
under a bearskin --

00:09:03.302 --> 00:09:05.879
bearskin / bare skin?

00:09:05.879 --> 00:09:07.421
It is a body.
