Here is the editorial of this issue n°544:
Star Track
The strike drags on and the seventh art is in PLS. Casually, autumn could be complicated. One photo summed up the problem perfectly. On the Venetian red carpet, a pigeon walks with its head nodding. The woodpigeon is machine-gunned by photographers who wait as best they can. Everyone looks…at emptiness.
Without actors and actresses, the industry seems threatened. First, the promotion is at half mast. Actors can no longer appear in the media and when they do, they are only allowed to talk about the film that is being released. Filming is on hiatus – and we prefer not to think about the forced diet that awaits us next summer…
And then there is the economy of festivals, inevitably impacted by the absence of icons. “Obviously” ? Not so fast. If Venice had difficulty existing without the glitter, it is clear that in France it was a little more contrasting. In Deauville this year, the Americans were absent. However, the rooms were full. Plus 20% attendance: proof that festival-goers did not come to see Peter Dinklage or Jude Law (who remained in the US) but to go to the cinema. Discover independent films, often first films, with sensitive subjects and a radical form.
While for the past ten years, the death of star value has been announced, while intellectual properties, franchises and brands of all kinds seem to have taken control of Hollywood, it is perhaps the moment to overthrow paradigm. Do the stars make the films? What if the real stars were the films?
