Critique
The director of “Beetlejuice” delivers a medley creaking series B of extraterrestrial invasions of the 1950s, populated by dementia. Tonight at 9:10 p.m. on RCM Story.

The Martian is false ass. The Martian is deceitful. In “Mars Attacks!” “, While the transforms a welcome committee into charred toast, the second seduces the secretary of the president to make breadcrumbs. Arrived in good old flying saucers with fins, the extraterrestrials appear in the appearance of pale green covers, with babygro costumes and aquarium helmets. In the delirium of Tim Burton, the earth is invaded … by kitsch. From the first scene of the film, we are in tone. A farmer goes. He addresses his neighbor, an : “So, are we going to do a barbecue?” » The other is not. “But then, where does this grilled steak smell come from?” » As soon as the question is asked, the answer arises: a herd of oxen springs from the night, to the big gallop, and illuminates the country. The herd is on … incredible image, crazy, well in the way of Burton.

Only one thing can kill them: the country music

Then he lets go of his characters. Here, they are all demented: a grandiloquent and bewildered president (Jack Nicholson); A talkative promoter (Jack Nicholson too); a struck by the coffee maker (Rod Steiger); A flirting show girl (Annette Bening); A false pharaoh (Jim Brown); an alcohol (Danny Devito); a show on the return (Tom Jones); An upset and cunning grandmother (Sylvia Sidney, the of “Furie”, by Fritz Lang, in 1936); a clever scientist, hung on his and his illusions (Pierce Brosnan); A moron and cuckold reporter (Michael J. Fox)…

“Mars Attacks! »Panache the paranoia of fifties And modern disorder: the invaders graft a chihuahua head on a speaker’s body, then play bowling with the statues of Island. Only one thing can kill them: country music. A accordion stroke, a trille from Yodel, and it’s the fatal blow. Martians instantly slam. It’s good to know: the next time the galactic burrs annoy us, we send our elite troops. With André Verchuren, Yvette Horner or kind and her orchestra, we are ready. We are waiting for them, the undocumented migrants from up there, with “the finder” or “the brown waltz”. Are we talking about it in Darmanin?

◗ Thursday April 17 at 9:10 p.m. on RMC Story. American science fiction film by Tim Burton (1996). With Jack Nicholson, Glenn Close, Annette Bening, Pierce Brosnan, Danny Devito. 1h45.
