durée : 00:03:23 - Le Regard culturel - par : Lucile Commeaux - La mini-série américaine et britannique conçue par Hugo Blick et disponible sur Canal +, renouvelle le grand genre du western pour le petit écran, tendant entre quelques personnages perdus dans les grands espaces les fils d'un drame particulièrement convaincant.

The English est le dernier projet de Hugo Blick, qu'on retrouve derrière The Honourable Woman ou encore The Shadow Line. Avec cette nouvelle mini-série, il explore l'anti-Western, l'un des sous-genres du Western. Une perspective différente s'ouvre sous nos yeux, via les regards de nos deux protagonistes : Cornelia Locke (Emily Blunt) aristocrate anglaise prête à tout pour venger son fils, et Eli Whipp (Chaske Spencer) éclaireur Pawnee qui réclame un bout de terre après avoir servi les États-Unis. Leurs chemins vont se croiser dans le premier épisode pour à leur grande surprise, converger. On va donc suivre un bout de leur destin en commun. En six épisodes, cette production originaire des studios Amazon qui a finalement été achetée par Canal+ en France, se distingue par des performances sans fausse note et des dialogues sans fioriture. https://youtu.be/9zxaDahQ0Qs Une photographie superbe qui change du style des derniers westerns qu'on a eu l'occasion de voir sur petit écran, y compris l'autre titre de Canal+, Django. Dans The English, il n'y a pas de boue ni une goutte d'eau, c'est le désert aride qui s'étend à perte de vue. Un soleil trop lumineux qui éblouit nos yeux et qui offre des visions de ciels bleus et de sable jaune très contrastées. Et c'est rare d'avoir une image tellement à contrepied du désespoir sombre des héros solitaires de western. Le personnage de Cornelia y est sans doute pour quelque chose, elle apporte une véritable valeur ajoutée avec sa force et son amour maternel qui équilibre le duo formé avec Eli. Les acteurs sont incroyables, la révélation étant évidemment Chaske Spencer moins renommé que son homologue féminin. Son personnage rejeté par les siens mais jamais vraiment intégré parmi les Américains représente bien la dualité dans The English, sa réserve et son intensité . Comme tout bon western révisionniste, la série rappelle les souffrances des Amérindiens et leur combat de tous les jours toujours d'actualité. L'alchimie entre les deux fonctionne à merveille, avec de l'humour acerbe et une tension sous-jacente. Les personnages secondaires ne sont pas à négliger, offrant une panoplie de tempéraments bizarres tout au long de leur voyage dans le grand ouest. L'histoire de The English reste d'une beauté simple, celle de la vengeance propre aux westerns, qu'elle semble justifiée ou non. Les silences sont pesants, la musique a une vie propre, et l'action s'accélère jusqu'à son apogée avant le dénouement. [bs_show url="the-english"] Découvrez cette mini-série ambitieuse sur Canal+.

Es ist wieder so weit: Wir rufen Euch auf, Eure zehn besten Serien des Jahres einzuschicken an Serienweise (at) web.de oder per DM unter https://twitter.com/serienpodcast damit wir Ende Dezember wieder Eure fantastische Top 10 präsentieren können. Vielleicht sind sogar in dieser Woche einige Kandidaten dabei. Holger, Michael und Rüdiger sprechen zuerst über "Wednesday" (5:05), Tim Burtons komisch-grusligen Netflix-Ausflug zur "Addams Family". Kann Burton seinen Stil auch in Serienform gießen? Und funktioniert es, die Addams-Familie auf die Tochter zu reduzieren? Danach geht es für unser Trio in den Wilden Westen und zur Magenta-Serie "The English" (29:34) mit Emily Blunt. Der Euro-Western von Hugo Blick hat seinen ganz eigenen Stil, der bnicht unisono auf Gegenliebe stößt, aber für zumindest zwei von uns ist es ein Kandidat für die Bestenliste des Jahres. Das gilt auch für "Andor" (52:03), über die wir im ersten Drittel noch verhalten positiv waren, nach Abschluss der 12 Folgen aber regelrecht begeistert sind. Warum, begründen wir auaführlich im (nicht spoilerfreien) Rückblick.PS: Falls ihr einen Überblick braucht, welche Serienstaffeln 2022 gestartet sind, hier werdet ihr fündig: https://serienpodcast.de/serienkalender-2022/Cold-Open-Frage: "Wofür wir in diesem Jahr dankbar sind"

In this month's Outside The Box, we're asking all the important questions. Has The White Lotus set itself too high a bar? Will The English be the first Hugo Blick series Hannah likes? Why didn't anyone tell Jen The Devil's Hour was sci-fi? Does anyone want to watch Charles and Diana's marriage fail - again - in The Crown? And lastly, where are all the lads? (Well, that one's easy to answer, they're in SAS: Rogue Heroes.) Plus, there's a tiny Rated or Dated for you, as Mick reports back on watching Buffy in her 40s.More on Paris Syndrome here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paris_syndromeThat scene with Alex Ferns (mining in the altogether) in Chernobyl can be found, sadly, nowhere.

The English is an epic chase Western, from award-winning writer and director Hugo Blick (The Honourable Woman, Black Earth Rising, The Shadow Line). The series takes the core themes of identity and revenge to tell a uniquely compelling parable on race, power, and love. An aristocratic Englishwoman, Lady Cornelia Locke (Blunt), and a Pawnee ex-cavalry scout, Eli Whipp (Spencer), come together in 1890 middle America to cross a violent landscape built on dreams and blood. Both of them have a clear sense of their destiny, but neither is aware that it is rooted in a shared past. They must face increasingly terrifying obstacles that will test them to their limits, physically and psychologically. But as each obstacle is overcome, it draws them closer to their ultimate destination—the new town of Hoxem, Wyoming. It is here, after an investigation by the local sheriff Robert Marshall (Stephen Rea, The Shadow Line) and young widow Martha Myers (Valerie Pachner, A Hidden Life) into a series of bizarre and macabre unsolved murders, that the full extent of their intertwined history will be truly understood, and they will come face-to-face with the future they must live. The series' ensemble cast includes Rafe Spall (The Salisbury Poisonings), Tom Hughes (A Discovery of Witches), Toby Jones (Marvellous), and Ciarán Hinds (The Terror).

The third season of The Crown sees a new guard sweep into Downing Street, as Queen Elizabeth (Olivia Colman) and her family struggle to meet the challenges of a rapidly changing Britain. From cold-war paranoia, through to the jet-set and the space age – the exuberance of the 1960s and the long hangover of the 1970s – Elizabeth and the Royals must adapt to a new, more liberated, but also more turbulent world. Written by Peter Morgan, The Crown also stars Helena Bonham Carter as Princess Margaret, Tobias Menzies as The Duke of Edinburgh, Josh O'Connor as Prince Charles, Erin Doherty as Princess Anne, Ben Daniels as Lord Snowdon, Jason Watkins as Prime Minister Harold Wilson and Charles Dance as Lord Mountbatten. Coming from a musical background, Martin studied drama at Manchester University. Fortunately for the acting profession, he decided to concentrate his energies on writing music. Since scoring his first TV drama, Eureka Street (2002), he has won 2 BAFTAs and 5 Ivor Novello Awards, and gone on to write music for many of the most interesting series of recent years, including the BBC's War and Peace, Hugo Blick's Black Earth Rising, Peaky Blinders and Black Mirror.
