Isabelle Regnier, Le Monde on November 3, 2009 |
Avec pour décors le Louvre et les Tuileries, le cinéaste taïwanais Tsai Ming-liang raconte l'histoire d'un tournage chaotique et rend hommage à François Truffaut.
The journalist of Le Monde gives the keys of the mise en abyme at different levels of the movie Face,
the myth of Salome, the interactions and references with the Truffaut's cinema personified by Jean-Pierre Leaud
and the Truffaut's actresses: Fanny Ardant, Nathalie Baye, and Jeanne Moreau!
The conclusion is particularly strong
not only because Isabelle Regnier, echoing the introduction, talks about Tsai Ming-Liang and Laetitia Casta,
but also because the title of the movie is transfigured toward a modern tribute of the Truffaut's cinema
reinvented by Tsai Ming-Liang.
