, 1h16Directed by Steve Binder
Genres Documentary, Musical
Actors Elvis Presley, Lance LeGault, Darlene Love
Après sept ans d’absence pour cause de carrière au cinéma – et de fameux nanars –, Elvis, 33 ans, revient pour la première fois sur scène en 1968 lors d’un show télévisé resté dans les annales. À l’époque, ses disques se font rares et, à l’heure du succès planétaire d’autres légendes, des Doors à Jimi Hendrix, le King semble appartenir à l’histoire du rock plus qu’à son actualité. Alors que le show doit à l’origine célébrer Noël sur NBC, le réalisateur Steve Binder, qui assiste aux répétitions, a l’idée inspirée de capter cet Elvis-là, au plus près de son âme et de sa musique, plutôt que de filmer une prestation cathodique formatée sous une pluie de guirlandes. Ayant réussi à convaincre la production, il enregistre dans la foulée un extraordinaire show intime en studio. Détendu, le rocker au timbre irrésistible s’y livre entièrement, entre retour aux sources – blues, gospel et rock’n’roll – et franche rigolade avec ses comparses musiciens.
Ram Ke Naam (1992)
, 1h15Directed by Anand Patwardhan
Genres Documentary
Ram ke Naam explores the VHP's campaign to demolish the Babri Masjid and build a temple to Rama in its place. The film begins with a clip of an organizer describing Advani's rath yatra in 1990. It then shows scenes from the yatra, with young men dressed in saffron seen in Ayodhya, followed by a video prepared by the VHP. The video depicts an incident at the temple in 1949, when an idol of Rama "appeared" inside the mosque. In the VHP's retelling, Rama is shown descending from the sky and miraculously appearing in the mosque, watched by astonished spectators, followed by a member of the VHP telling the same story.

On pourra légitimement s'étonner de la parution d'un live du Boss, si peu de temps après son (magnifique) DVD de "réunion" à New-York. D'autant que les anciens fans s'en rappelleront : il a fallu lui tirer les vers du nez, à Bruce, pour qu'il daigne sortir son premier live en 1986 ! La surprise est d'autant plus grande que la setlist, à première vue, a quand même certains points communs avec le live de 2001. D'où vient alors la différence? Elle vient naturellement de "The rising", ce fameux nouvel album enregistré avec tout le E Street Band, le premier depuis 1987. Ce genre de réunion à l'arrachée de vieux line-ups, en général, ce n'est pas toujours pour le meilleur ; mais ici c'est du Boss qu'on parle. Et l'homme sait depuis belle lurette comment bien faire les choses.
