Phenomena et son cut italien

Phenomena (1985) de Dario Argento est aussi le mal aimé, celui que l'on montre du doigt comme annonçant le début, ou du moins les prémices de la future déchéance du cinéaste italien. Je ne suis pas du tout de cet avis, et je compte le dire prochainement mais pour cela j'attends de pouvoir m'acheter le dvd paru chez Wildside qui semble-t-il est d'une qualité irréprochable au niveau de l'image. Malheureusement, le montage de ce dvd est le même que la précédente édition parue chez TF1, c'est à dire le montage international. On ne peut pas parler de censure, ce montage international est l'oeuvre même de Dario Argento ! Mais il faut savoir que le film pour l'Italie est plus long d'approximativement 6 minutes. Pour mater cette version, une solution, le blu-ray paru cette année chez l'éditeur anglais Arrow (jaquette ci-contre) qui possède des sous-titres anglais. Oui, dommage qu'ils n'aient pas inclu la VF d'époque comme le dvd paru chez Anchor Bay mais qui lui aussi était le montage international. Figurez-vous qu'un site anglais a relevé les différences et les voici ci-dessous. Pas moins de 74 différences !!! Source ici.

"Au fait, nous sommes dans quel film Gloria* ?"

Phenomena est aussi le film qui met en vedette la très jolie Jennifer Connelly. C'est sa seconde apparition devant la caméra mais ici elle décroche le rôle principal ! A l'époque du tournage, elle avait 13 ans ! Impossible de ne pas vous montrer comment la petite s'est bonifiée avec le temps avec cette sympathique image d'un autre film où la belle avait 5 ans de plus que lors de la sortie de Phenomena. Je sais que ça fera plaisir à pas mal de lecteurs (bon OK moi aussi, on peut même cliquer pour agrandir). Petit quizz au passage... savez-vous de quel film il s'agit* ? Allez hop, on se quitte avec la bande annonce de Phenomena que je vous invite à découvrir si vous ne l'avez jamais vu jusqu'ici.

Mise à jour : Si vous êtes intéressé par la version longue ben... téléchargez-là ! Et ce grâce à l'ami Humungus de Ciné-Bis-Art qui nous propose cette version italienne exclusive avec sous-titres français ! Qualité 720p en 5 parties : ici. Bon film si vous avez eu la bonne idée de télécharger avant les habituelles liens morts.

"Hou... à mort ! Qu'on le pende ! Qu'on brule sa maison !"
Ca c'est pour les huées réclamées :D

T'inquiète, moi je suis fan et je t'invite illico à lire mon article sur le film ! http://deadstillalive.canalblog.com/archives/2011/08/01/21691906.html

"Sinon il est génial ce blog."
Merci, vais pas faire mon snob en ne disant pas que ça fait réellement plaisir ;)

Pour moi(je vais me faire huer)c'est mon film préféré de Dario Argento.
C'est celui-la qui m'a fait découvrir le heavy metal et ça c'est quelque chose. Une fille qui se fait trucider sur "flash of tha blade"...
Le scénario est génial. Une référence a "double assassinat dans la rue Morgue.
Je le connais par coeur ce film. Si on fait bien attention on voit furtivement l'assassin vers la 50ème minute à travers la vitre.
Sinon il est génial ce blog.
