Muriel Mayette, the director of the French comedy showcases at the Vieux Colombier, "Dispute" Marivaux. This short comedy in prose, created in 1744, was whistled for his creation, and few filmmakers have ventured to return, except that Chéreau in 1973 gave a legendary performance.
In this philosophical play, love the hassle and testing of emotions, the recurring themes in the work of Marivaux, take a surprising form, that of an in vivo experiment whose cruelty Sade recalls more than subtle language games in "The false confidence" or "The Game of Love and Chance".
A Prince (Thierry Hance) Hermiane and his lover (Marie-Sophie Ferdan) argue about the fickleness of love and the origin of infidelity: that the man or woman, betrays the first? To resolve this issue, the Prince proposed to observe the outcome of an experiment devised by his father who was raising teenagers alone, without any contact with other human beings apart from the two black servants, Mesrou (Eebra Toor) and CARIS (Bakary Sangare, disguised as a woman). The Prince and Hermiane observe these human guinea pigs move from self-discovery (and their reflection in a stream) to discover the other, fall in love, betrayal, reconciliation. The result of the experience (or at least manipulation orchestrated by the Prince through the two servants) is final, the men and women are doomed to a perpetual inconstancy which makes impossible the inclusion of the love in time. If
Muriel Mayette the merit of presenting a clear and committed personal reading room, his staging has two flaws:
The beginning of the play is too long and heavy, why have added this prologue extracted from other Marivaux's works while the attack original was sufficiently strong and clear: "Where do we go, Lord, here is the place of the world's wildest and most solitary, and nothing has announced the party you promised me? . In addition, there is no need here to emphasize the line by starting the play by rales suggestive of Hermiane offstage and vision of a prince who loosen up sloppy: it is a matter of desire, the text Marivaux is clear enough that the viewer understands.
The will clearly demonstrate the cruelty of the Prince gum experience the charm and lightness of the text, retaining only darkness. Young people are not only victims of the madness of Prince handlers. The game, too pressed, lack of subtlety. The jerking of teenagers near hysteria (especially Anne Kessler, who nevertheless is an actress capable of more subtlety) express nothing of the freshness put forward by other directors. The innocence of the characters tend to be confused with weakness, especially when they jump on hand to express their joy.
That said, the text of Marivaux is wonderful and the cast, full of energy.
