Jim Henson’s The Power Of The Dark Crystal #1 [Boom Studios\/Archaia]<\/strong>\nSc\u00e9nario de Simon Spurrier
\nDessins de Kelly Matthews & Nicole Matthews
\nParution aux USA le 22 f\u00e9vrier 2017<\/strong><\/p>\n
Sorti en 1982, Dark Crystal, film r\u00e9alis\u00e9 par Jim Henson et Frank Oz, se distinguait par plusieurs \u00e9l\u00e9ments constituants. D’abord le fait que toutes les marionnettes repr\u00e9sentaient des cr\u00e9atures inhumaines, sans \u00ab\u00a0personne r\u00e9elle\u00a0\u00bb pour jouer les r\u00e9f\u00e9rents. Les r\u00f4les principaux revenant \u00e0 Jen et Kira, deux \u00ab\u00a0gelflings\u00a0\u00bb (en gros, des elfes). Ensuite il y avait une certaine forme de Fantasy plus sombre que ce \u00e0 quoi le public de l’\u00e9poque s’attendait. Depuis, Dark Crystal est rest\u00e9e une r\u00e9f\u00e9rence dans le sens o\u00f9 rien n’est r\u00e9ellement venu occuper le m\u00eame cr\u00e9neau. Et un second film de la licence, mis en chantier depuis des ann\u00e9es, avec Tartakovsky un temps envisag\u00e9 \u00e0 la r\u00e9alisation, ne s’est jamais mat\u00e9rialis\u00e9. Archaia ressort donc cette semaine cette suite, ce second film avort\u00e9, sous la houlette de Simon Spurrier mais en prenant soin de rester proche des id\u00e9es lanc\u00e9es \u00e0 l’\u00e9poque par Henson et Oz. L’exercice est p\u00e9rilleux car, \u00e0 l’origine, le premier Dark Crystal s’adressait \u00e0 un certain public… qui s’est pris depuis plus de trois d\u00e9cennies dans la figure. D’o\u00f9 la question : doit-on produire cette suite en pensant au public originel ou bien tenter de parler \u00e0 une nouvelle audience, qui a l’\u00e2ge des spectateurs de Dark Crystal en 1982. L’\u00e9quation n’est pas facile. Mais en un sens Spurrier est aid\u00e9 par le synopsis The Power Of The Dark Crystal, qui n’\u00e9tait pas une suite directe. Le temps aussi a pass\u00e9 pour Jen et Kira, qui sont d\u00e9sormais vieux (l’histoire se passe un si\u00e8cle apr\u00e8s les \u00e9v\u00e8nements du film) et font l’objet de l\u00e9gendes dans leur monde, tandis que l’histoire se centre sur de nouveaux protagonistes.<\/p>\n
\n\u00ab\u00a0It’s all one flame… juste imagine…\u00a0\u00bb<\/strong><\/h3>\n<\/blockquote>\n
Finalement cette solution d’une toute nouvelle \u00e9poque est encore ce qui convient le mieux pour mettre les diff\u00e9rents publics sur le plan sc\u00e9naristique. Une cr\u00e9ature enflamm\u00e9e arrive dans ce monde, ayant besoin de l’aide des gelflings l\u00e0 ils n’existent pratiquement plus. C’est une nouvelle qu\u00eate qui commence… mais Jim Henson’s The Power Of The Dark Crystal tr\u00e9buche sur un autre aspect qui n’est pas li\u00e9 au r\u00e9cit. C’est \u00e0 dire que Kelly Matthews & Nicole Matthews dessinent cet univers de fa\u00e7on assez moderne, avec des couleurs plut\u00f4t flashy. En un sens c’est logique puisqu’\u00e0 la fin du film, le Dark Crystal \u00e9tant gu\u00e9ri, le monde entier sortait des t\u00e9n\u00e8bres. Mais le vrai probl\u00e8me est que si Simon Spurrier a le souci de rester dans les clous de l’histoire, les artistes, elles, l\u00e0 jouent un peu trop perso, un peu trop mignon et que l’on ne retrouve pas franchement des cr\u00e9atures \u00e0 Brian Froud. Il n’y a pas sa texture, sa complexit\u00e9 et la comparaison est d’autant plus aigu\u00eb qu’en couverture Jae Lee, lui, retrouve avec brio ce qui faisait l’ambiance du Dark Crystal. En fait une partie des nouveaux protagonistes invent\u00e9s pour ce r\u00e9cit ressemblent plus \u00e0 des poup\u00e9es \u00ab\u00a0troll dolls\u00a0\u00bb qu’\u00e0 l’imaginaire de la licence. Alors, oui, les go\u00fbts des enfants de 2017 ne sont pas ceux de 1982 mais dans le m\u00eame temps, d’une part, les troll dolls ce n’est pas si \u00ab\u00a0r\u00e9cent\u00a0\u00bb que \u00e7a (c’est m\u00eame plus vieux que Dark Crystal) et si l’on veut faire une suite \u00e0 Dark Crystal, faut-il pour autant donner dans le \u00ab\u00a0trop trognon\u00a0\u00bb ? Ce n’est pas vraiment soit dessin\u00e9 comme une \u00ab\u00a0trahison\u00a0\u00bb mais on a plus l’impression que les artistes avaient envie d’inventer leur propre monde plut\u00f4t que de rester dans quelque chose qui \u00e9voque r\u00e9ellement les r\u00e8gles de cet univers. C’est dommage, car cela va un peu \u00e0 l’encontre des ambitions du sc\u00e9nario.<\/p>\n[Xavier Fournier]\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
