Recenser toutes les oeuvres de l’esprit traitant d’escrime sportive est une t\u00e2che qui peut s’av\u00e9rer frustrante. Pour ce qui est des livres, il y a de quoi faire. Par contre, c\u00f4t\u00e9 cin\u00e9, c’est la mis\u00e8re ! By the Sword<\/em>, que j’ai d\u00e9j\u00e0 pr\u00e9sent\u00e9, est le seul long m\u00e9trage de fiction ayant pour cadre le milieu de l’escrime sportive moderne (du d\u00e9but des ann\u00e9es 90). Mais je ne vais cependant pas en rester l\u00e0, car plusieurs autres films, bien qu’historiques, ont de quoi faire r\u00eaver les escrimeurs que nous sommes et donner envie aux n\u00e9ophytes de d\u00e9couvrir notre discipline. Je ne pense pas en disant cela aux films de cape et d’\u00e9p\u00e9e des ann\u00e9es 50 ou 60. J’ai tent\u00e9 hier de regarder le c\u00e9l\u00e8bre Scaramouche<\/em>, celui de 1952, car j’avais entendu dire qu’il s’agissait de la r\u00e9f\u00e9rence du genre, mais malheureusement c’est presque irregardable. Le long duel final, r\u00e9put\u00e9 grandiose, frise le ridicule. Il s’agit d’escrime purement artistique, ce qui pourra plaire \u00e0 certains, mais je ne suis pas client. M\u00eame les diff\u00e9rents volets des aventures de Zorro, quoique tr\u00e8s int\u00e9ressants pour d’autres raisons, ne proposent pas une escrime tr\u00e8s palpitante. Je leur pr\u00e9f\u00e8re The Duellists<\/em> de Ridley Scott, film splendide regorgeant de sc\u00e8nes de duels tr\u00e8s r\u00e9alistes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sorti en 1977, The Duellists<\/em> est le premier grand film de Ridley Scott, r\u00e9alisateur des g\u00e9nialissimes Alien, le huiti\u00e8me passager<\/em>, Blade Runner<\/em> et Gladiator<\/em>, entre autres. Deux officiers de l’arm\u00e9e napol\u00e9onienne, Gabriel F\u00e9raud et Armand D’Hubert, interpr\u00e9t\u00e9s respectivement par Harvey Keitel et Keith Carradine, se provoquent un jour en duel pour une broutille. D’Hubert l’emporte et, pour laver l’affront, F\u00e9raud cherchera pendant quinze ann\u00e9es \u00e0 affronter D’Hubert \u00e0 la moindre occasion, tandis que ce dernier tentera vainement d’\u00e9viter de croiser le chemin de F\u00e9raud. De nombreuses sc\u00e8nes de duels entre les deux hommes, tr\u00e8s bien r\u00e9alis\u00e9es et tr\u00e8s cr\u00e9dibles, jalonnent l’histoire et encadrent des passages narratifs l\u00e9ch\u00e9s aux d\u00e9cors int\u00e9rieurs et aux paysages bucoliques de toute beaut\u00e9 rappelant des toiles des plus grands ma\u00eetres du XIX\u00e8me. L’atmosph\u00e8re n’est pas sans \u00e9voquer celle de Barry Lyndon<\/em>, le chef-d’\u0153uvre de Kubrick (dans lequel on peut \u00e9galement voir une sympathique sc\u00e8ne de duel au fleuret). Les affrontements sont parfois brefs, mais tr\u00e8s intenses. Pas de chichis, les chor\u00e9graphies sont simples, les attaques le plus souvent directes et l’ensemble donne l’impression que le but des personnages est d’aller \u00e0 la touche et d’en finir rapidement, pas de se donner en spectacle. Les diff\u00e9rents types de duels sont pass\u00e9s en revue : un au sabre \u00e0 pied dans une ruelle, un \u00e0 l’\u00e9p\u00e9e de cour dans un champ, un au sabre \u00e0 cheval en chargeant, un au sabre dans une \u00e9curie \u00e9touffante (le moins r\u00e9aliste de tous peut-\u00eatre, car les personnages \u00e9puis\u00e9s frappent au ralenti) et un au pistolet \u00e0 le fin du r\u00e9cit. Et je parle l\u00e0 seulement des combats opposant F\u00e9raud et D’Hubert. Un duel suppl\u00e9mentaire est \u00e0 ajouter, celui qui ouvre le film et donne le ton, entre F\u00e9raud et un autre soldat. C’est m\u00eame je crois le plus r\u00e9ussi d’un point de vue esth\u00e9tique et dramatique. Un grand moment de cin\u00e9ma donc, \u00e0 savourer d’un bout \u00e0 l’autre.<\/p>\n\n\n

Il est \u00e0 noter que Ridley Scott s’est largement inspir\u00e9, pour \u00e9crire son sc\u00e9nario, de la longue nouvelle de Joseph Conrad, The Duel<\/em> (1908). Je viens de la commander. Elle existe en version bilingue pour les amateurs. Je vous en dirai des nouvelles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
