TWELVE YEARS A SLAVE de Steve McQueen

[Jack Spret]

C'est de la faute à Mandela...

[Waylander]

C'est marrant ce boom des films traitant de l'esclavage.

Comparer aux films sur la Shoah c'est ridicule. Mais bon faut en parler, faut pas oublier tout ça donc on fait des films .

Zimmer fait le score

[berry]

quand on sait que le morceau principale de la BO de SHAME est pompée de manière flagrante (ce qui n'enlève rien à sa qualité) sur le morceau "journey to the line" de la BO de la Ligne rouge, ce ne serait pas un juste retours des choses?
Ou alors Zimmer à dit : "ok je ne fais pas de procès pour plagiat mais je fais le score de ton prochain filme"...

Les premières critiques sont très positives

Firstshowing : Telluride 2013: '12 Years a Slave' is a Profound Cinematic Achievement

I can't praise this film enough, and even though it is a very heavy, very challenging film to sit through, it's worth it. Worth it to experience this incredible cinematic creation that is not only a remarkable piece of art but also an important history lesson. It's a film where emotions are both encouraged and stifled, where the performances will leave you in awe, where you'll be left trembling at the end. From Hans Zimmer's beautiful score, to cinematographer Sean Bobbitt's shots, to McQueen's direction and all of the performances within, this film is a grand achievement and should not be missed by anyone. Even if it's challenging to sit through.

Alex's Telluride Rating: 9.8 out of 10

The Playlist : Telluride Review: Steve McQueen's '12 Years A Slave'

Although Ridley sometimes writes his villains’ lines a little more broadly and obviously than needed, the overall mixture of period flavor with contemporary accessibility in the verbiage couldn’t be any better balanced. As for McQueen’s work, advance chatter had some wondering whether he had what it took to make a mainstream entertainment his third time around, but there won’t be much questioning of that after doubters see “12 Years a Slave.” It has the strokes you’d expect out of a studio picture but also some moments few other directors would have attempted, like an agonizingly beautiful sequence in which Solomon literally tip-toes his way through a near-hanging that goes on for several silent minutes. If McQueen could forge a career working arthouse moments into multiplex movies, that’d be a case of mistaken identity we’d be happy to live with. [A-]

Normal.

Il faut espérer qu'il y a aura une avant première car chez nous ça sort fin janvier alors que dans pas mal de pays le film sort en déjà octobre.

Critique filmdeculte.

Cinématographiquement parlant, dans sa description du courage d’un homme face à l’une des pires horreurs de l’humanité, 12 Years a Slave est à l’esclavage ce que La Liste de Schindler est à l’Holocauste.

6 étoiles sur 6.

Si la comparaison s'avère être juste, ça va être minimum 9/10 ce film.
