L'Homme qui aimait les femmes est un film français de François Truffaut, sorti en 1977.

*
 

Bertrand est autant amoureux des femmes que de l'idée même de la femme. Pour lui, toutes les femmes sont uniques et irremplaçables. Elles sont à la fois l'œuvre de sa vie, son inspiration artistique et la cause de sa mort. Une passion qu'il résume par ces mots :« Les jambes de femmes sont des compas qui arpentent le globe terrestre en tous sens, lui donnant son équilibre et son harmonie. »

Résumé
Toutes, il les a toutes aimées ! Bertrand vient de mourir et part pour sa dernière demeure, accompagné de toutes ses femmes sous l'œil de Geneviève, une de ses dernières conquêtes. En a-t-il poursuivi des jambes pour s'apercevoir, comme avec Martine, qu'elles appartenaient à des cousines parties au Canada ? En a-t-il adorées des Bernadette, employées dans la location de voitures, des Nicole, ouvreuses de cinéma sourdes-muettes, des Uta qu'il aura rendues heureuses, des Fabienne qu'il aura fait souffrir.

Š-DR-Steve Buscemi / Bio

02/04/2014 05:45 par tellurikwaves

Steve Buscemi est un acteur, réalisateur, scénariste et producteur de cinéma américain, né le 13 décembre 1957 dans le quartier de Brooklyn à New York.

Acteur éclectique qui a tourné aussi bien dans des blockbusters que dans de nombreux films indépendants, il est surtout connu pour ses collaborations avec Joel et Ethan Coen, notamment dans Fargo et The Big Lebowski et pour ses rôles dans Reservoir Dogs et dans la série télévisée Boardwalk Empire.

Steve Buscemi est le fils de Dorothy Wilson, réceptionniste, et de John Buscemi, éboueur et vétéran de la guerre de Corée. Il a trois frères, Jon, Ken et Michael, et est élevé dans la tradition catholique. Après le lycée, il fait quelques petits boulots et s'inscrit au Lee Strasberg Theatre Institute. Il commence ensuite à écrire et jouer des pièces de théâtre avec son ami Mark Boone Junior. De 1980 à 1984, il travaille comme pompier dans la compagnie 55 du New York City Fire Department.

Carrière d'acteur

Il fait ses débuts au cinéma en 1984 avec Vincent Gallo dans The Way It Is d'Eric Mitchell, puis apparaît dans la série Deux flics à Miami en 1986. Cette même année, il obtient son premier grand rôle dans Un clin d'œil pour un adieu où il incarne un compositeur atteint du sida. En 1989, il fait une apparition remarquée dans Mystery Train, de Jim Jarmusch.

En 1990, il rencontre les frères Joel et Ethan Coen pour le film de gangsters Miller's Crossing. Ce film marque le début de leur collaboration : suivront Barton Fink (1991), Le Grand Saut (1994), et surtout Fargo (1996) et The Big Lebowski (1997) dans lesquels il interprète des rôles plus importants, Carl Showalter, petit criminel minable, et Donny, joueur de bowling aimable et naïf.

En 1992, il tient son premier rôle principal dans In the Soup, , où il interprète le rôle d'un scénariste raté, aidé par un producteur escroc ; puis incarne son personnage qui reste le plus connu : le gangster M.. Pink dans Reservoir Dogs de Quentin Tarantino, un rôle que le réalisateur avait écrit pour lui-même avant de s'effacer devant la prestation de Buscemi pendant les auditions. Il remporte pour ce rôle l'Independent Spirit Award du meilleur acteur dans un second rôle.

Ce film lui ouvre désormais les portes d'une carrière essentiellement faite de seconds rôles, où son physique particulier, silhouette mince, peau pâle, yeux légèrement exorbités, dentition irrégulière, le rend aisément identifiable. Ainsi, dans Fargo, un témoin le décrit à la police locale en ces termes : « The little guy was kinda funny- lookin' » (qui peut se traduire par « le petit gars avait un air bizarre ») avant de préciser:"More than most people, even." Plus que la moyenne »).

Il est cependant ouvert à tous les genres cinématographiques et reste très complice avec le tandem Quentin Tarantino (il apparaît brièvement dans Pulp Fiction) et Robert Rodriguez (Desperado, Spy Kids 2 : Espions en Herbe et Spy Kids 3 : Mission 3D) avec les frères Joel et Ethan Coen, Tom DiCillo ou encore Alexandre Rockwell. Il fait également une « incursion » dans les films à gros budgets avec principalement les blockbusters de Michael Bay : Armageddon (1998) et The Island (2005), ainsi que dans Les Ailes de l'enfer (1997), où son rôle de tueur en série lui vaut une nomination au Saturn Award du meilleur acteur dans un second rôle, et dans Big Fish (2003), où il joue un poète raté qui se reconvertit en braqueur de banques.

Il prête également sa voix au personnage de Randall Boggs dans Monstres et Cie (2001).Mais il est tout aussi doué pour les comédies indépendantes américaines telles que Ghost World (2002), où il interprète un attachant collectionneur de vinyles, rôle pour lequel il remporte une deuxième fois l'Independent Spirit Award du meilleur acteur dans un second rôle. En 2004, il interprète un rôle secondaire récurrent, celui de Tony Blundetto, un cousin de Tony Soprano, dans la série télévisée Les Soprano.

Depuis 2010, il tient le rôle principal, celui du politicien et mafieux Enoch Thompson, dans la série télévisée Boardwalk Empire, qui se déroule à Atlantic City pendant la prohibition.  Il a remporté pour ce rôle le Golden Globe du meilleur acteur dans une série télévisée dramatique en 2011 et le Screen Actors Guild Award du meilleur acteur dans une série dramatique en 2011 et 2012.

Carrière de réalisateur

En parallèle à sa carrière d'acteur, Steve Buscemi s'est lancé dans la réalisation : en 1992, il écrit et mis en scène un court métrage intitulé What Happened to Pete et dans lequel il joue aux côtés de ses amis Mark Boone Jr. et Seymour Cassel. Il s'essaie au long métrage en 1996 avec Trees Lounge, dans lequel il dirige Chloë Sevigny, Anthony LaPaglia, Daniel Baldwin et Samuel L. Jackson et dans lequel apparaît son fils Lucian.

Après avoir réalisé deux épisodes de la série télévisée Oz, sur l'univers carcéral, il reste dans le même registre avec le film Animal Factory. C'est l'adaptation du roman d'Edward Bunker, un ancien détenu, qui n'était autre que M.. Blue dans Reservoir Dogs. On retrouve dans ce film un casting impressionnant : Willem Dafoe, Danny Trejo, Mickey Rourke, Edward Furlong, etc. Il met ensuite en scène quatre épisodes de la série Les Soprano. En 2005, il réalise son 3e long métrage, Lonesome Jim, avec Casey Affleck, Liv Tyler et toujours ses compères Mark Boone Jr. et Seymour Cassel.

En 2007, il met en scène l'intimiste Interview avec Sienna Miller. Le film est un remake d'un film néerlandais du même nom réalisé en 2003 par Theo van Gogh, petit- neveu de Vincent van Gogh. Pour coller au style du cinéaste hollandais, Buscemi n'utilise que trois petites caméras numériques : une qui filme le personnage masculin (en l'occurrence lui-même), la seconde pour Sienna Miller et la dernière pour les décors. Le tournage a ainsi été très rapide.

Vie privée

Il est marié depuis 1987 à la chorégraphe et réalisatrice Jo Andres et a un fils prénommé Lucian. Le 11 avril 2001, il a été gravement blessé après avoir reçu plusieurs coup de poignard au visage, au cou et au bras au cours d'une bagarre dans un bar. Après les attentats du 11 septembre 2001, il s'est présenté à son ancienne caserne de pompiers comme volontaire et a participé aux recherches pendant une semaine dans les décombres du World Trade Center.

Le 25 mai 2003, il est arrêté pour avoir participé aux protestations contre la fermeture de six casernes de pompiers de New York. En mars 2013, Chris Baio, le bassiste de Vampire Weekend, a découvert que Steve Buscemi et lui étaient des lointains cousins.

Trivia
-About 8 minutes in, just before Tommy (Steve Buscemi) drives up to the garage where he has dialogue with Johnny the mechanic (John Ventimiglia) about his car's problem, he passes a parking lot. Walking towards the lot are three men wearing dark suits walking together in the distance. It was originally thought of as Buscemi's homage to his first big movie role, Reservoir Dogs (1992), but when asked, Buscemi said it was just a coincidence.

Great Film
9/10

Just happened upon this channel hopping In the early hours saw Steve Buscemi and wondered what's going on here? Not a lot as It seemed but that's not the point. Just sit back - preferably with a lager and allow Tree's Lounge to charm your trousers off.

Wonderfully subdued comedy showing that Buscemi Is not only a cult anti hero on screen but that he has much promise as a director. The characters stand out as they can be related to - everyone will recognise the Bill type regular permanently attached to the counter. Mark Boone's wife also as a seriously difficult woman who hasn't a clue what she really wants, stereotypically so.

Tommy yes, Is a manchild aimlessly squandering his life away, for sure It Isn't a good role model to aspire to approaching middle age but hey that's his perogative.This Is Steve's film and he's got charisma by the barrow full to make Tree's Lounge a real treat.That trick with the glasses will work once-provided your not too hammered practising.

But It's Uncle Al who gets the best lines - "he loves your mothers", his excuse for his lecherous behaviour on the couch will bail a lot of people out of a lot of trouble. This film Is very hard to track down, 90% of video shops I went to hadn't even heard of It and It's been on terrestrial Tele twice - once a week late- the reward Is well worth the effort.

Watched this with some trepidation, having seen the absolutely excellent trailer. So few movies live up to their trailers, especially indies. Anxiety increased by having read Buscemi's fairly harrowing account of making the film in one of those 'The Directors' books.Shouldn't have worried. Great flick. Totally engrossing, especially to a *cough* former *cough* barfly like myself. Beautifully understated, funny, very sad, nicely paced andBuscemi very wisely NOT trying to dominate every scene, although he certainly dominates the movie.

Movie appears on first sight plot less but actually it isn't at all: Buscemi's search for a second chance to escape from the morass of his own making is riveting. Everyone involved seems to have had a good time and the beautifully relaxed performances are the reward. Only the two knucklehead goombahs fall below the otherwise uniformly excellent level.

A real treat, and thoroughly watchable-again able. My DVD was in TV format, which sucked, but otherwise the low budget doesn't really intrude. Nearest movie to it I can think of offhand is KILLING OF A Chinese BOOKIE. Radically different subject matter but similar bittersweet texture. A slightly, but only slightly, generous 9/10 from me.

Amusing and low-key debut from indie king Buscemi

Author: bob the moo from United Kingdom
6 November 2002

Small town deadbeat Tommy, spends the majority of his time drinking at the Trees Lounge and trying to find comfort with anything in a skirt. Meanwhile his ex-best friend is with his ex-girlfriend who may or may not be carrying Tommy's child. Tommy drifts day to day before finding himself a job and a new friend.

This was Buscemi's first attempt as director and is semi-autobiographical in it's plot. Plot, however is a poor way to describe this film's story. Rather it is an amusing character piece, following Tommy through his life. Tommy is likeable but is also selfish, clueless, aimless and friendless. We like him because he has a good loser-quality to him that brings part sympathy and part empathy. During the film he hurts many through his selfish actions and his life is consistently aimless and pointless. However it still manages to be interesting because of Tommy. Even when I didn't care about him the story had enough good support characters and goings on to keep me interested.

Buscemi as actor is just as good – doing a weasely version of himself but managing to keep him just likeable enough to get by. It something about the way that Tommy clearly hurts himself all the way that makes it hard to dislike him. The support cast are all very good. Junior, Kane et al do well as the various barflies while LaPaglia, Bracco, Baldwin, Imperioli, Rogers and Jackson all deliver well on their various roles. Sevingy is very good again in another sexually laced child role – but I'm glad she's not been typecast too much since Kids.

Overall this is plot light but is still interesting, amusing and enjoyable. Buscemi directs with a light touch and keeps everything light until the sombre final shot.

Fine writing and directing debut for Buscemi
9/10
Author: Sean Gallagher (seankgallagher@yahoo.com) from Brooklyn, NY
27 October 1999

Whenever one thinks of Steve Buscemi the actor, one probably thinks of the line about his character in FARGO, where a girl says, "Well, he was funny looking...more than most people, even." That has more or less summed up the parts Buscemi has played throughout the years, way back to the mini-series of LONESOME DOVE. But he's got more range than that, as he showed in LIVING IN OBLIVION(1995), and this movie, which he also wrote and directed. The nice surprise is he also has the makings of a fine writer and director.

There's no real plot here, which undoubtedly will throw some people(and has, if some of the comments are any indication), just observing a certain type of people(working-class and barflies) and how they live their lives. While it may drag at times, there's enough truth and detail to keep you interested. Buscemi also directs actors well; this is the film which convinced me Chloe Sevigny was for real. I understand Buscemi is making another film; I look forward to it.

Excellent film dealing with a group of unhappy people who drown their sorrows in booze, powder, and sex. The chief sorrowmeister, Tommy, was a pathetic loser who spent inordinate amounts of time swilling beer and shots in a shabby bar which boasted a temperamental barkeep, a postage stamp sized men's room, and one table.

When not turning his liver into plywood Tommy halfheartedly attempts to find work as a mechanic but winds up driving his uncle's ice cream wagon and getting in over his head with a troubled teen on the verge of bolting from daddy's violent household. A sad picture for sure, but I couldn't help laughing out loud at some of these characters' antics. A very fine movie depicting a realistic looking slice of the ugly side of our human existence.

La critique de Roger Ebert
If anybody ever wrote a Field Guide to Alcoholics, with descriptions of their appearance, sexual behavior and habitats, there would be a full-color portrait on the cover of Tommy, the hero of "Trees Lounge." Steve Buscemi, who plays Tommy and also wrote and directed the film, knows about alcoholism from the inside out and backward, and his movie is the most accurate portrait of the daily saloon drinker I have ever seen.

Tommy is 31 years old, an unemployed auto mechanic. For eight years he dated Theresa (Elizabeth Bracco), but recently she dumped him, married his ex-boss, and is having a baby (maybe Tommy's but who knows?). Tommy, who lives in an unremarkable section of Long Island, spends his days in Trees Lounge, a corner bar that is perfectly established in an early shot showing Bill, an aging alcoholic, gazing blankly into space before rousing himself to use sign language to order another double shot. The close-up of Bill's face is a complete portrait of a man whose world has grown smaller and smaller, until finally it has defined itself as the task of drinking.

Tommy has a stubborn spirit. He goes through the motions of having fun, but everything in his life is breaking down, including his car, which stalls whenever he removes his foot from the pedal. As a mechanic, you'd think he could fix it, but he uses more direct methods, asking a friend to keep a foot on the gas while Tommy dashes into the lounge for "just one drink." The bartender, who knows him, bets him $10 he can't have just one.

"Trees Lounge" doesn't paint a depressing portrait of Tommy, just a realistic one. Any alcoholic knows that life is not all bad, that there comes a moment between the morning's hangover and the night's oblivion when things are balanced very nicely, and the sun slants in through the bar windows, and there's a good song on the jukebox, and the customers might even start dancing. Tommy makes some headway one afternoon with a woman he meets in the bar; like a lot of drinkers, she can dance better than she can stand.

When I met Buscemi at the 1996 Cannes Film Festival, where "Trees Lounge" premiered, he said the movie was a portrait of a direction his life was going in before he started acting. He remembers it well; remembers such perfect details as a scene where Tommy's drinking buddy, Mike, is fascinated by a stupid bar trick that Tommy is performing ("I'll bet I can drink two beers before you can drink one shot"). Mike's wife, who sees him only during pit stops from his drinking, walks into the bar and essentially wants to tell him she's taking the kid and leaving, but Mike is too interested in the bar trick to focus on this news.

Tommy makes money occasionally by driving a Good Humor truck, although he does not look in good humor. On his rounds he encounters Debbie, a 17-year-old girl he knows (Chloe Sevigny, from "Kids," who finds just the right note for the role). They spend some time together that leads to a wrestling match at his house. "Nothing happened--we just made out like a couple of teenagers," he later says, but Debbie's father is understandably enraged and destroys the Good Humor truck with a baseball bat.

All of this seeking, drinking, dancing and wrestling is centered on Tommy's pain because his former girlfriend dumped him. The film comes to its epiphany in when he visits Theresa in the maternity ward, and apologizes for being a geek when he dated her, and cries and thinks maybe he could straighten out if he had a kid. Drunks always think that if they could fix all the things that are wrong, then they could stop drinking. It never occurs to them to stop drinking first.

Buscemi is the house act of American independent films. He was the talkative killer in "Fargo," and Mr. Pink in "Reservoir Dogs," and has been in more than 30 other recent movies. Critics love to describe him ("skinny, bug-eyed, twitchy"--New York Times; "caffeinated downtown geek whose feelings seem to bleed right through his pale vampire skin"--Entertainment Weekly; "oyster-eyed"--Mr. Showbiz). He is above all able to project the quality of bone-weariness. It is almost a little noble, the way he endures what the disease of alcoholism is putting him through. He keeps planning, dreaming, hoping. And always there is Trees Lounge, where the living dead sit at the bar, waiting for him to return with news of the world.
