The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford. USA, 2007 (160 minutes). Director: Andrew Dominik. Performers: Brad Pitt, Casey Affleck, Mary-Louise Parker.

The Western can still offer masterpieces, even without Clint Eastwood involved. This risky and emotional film, which boasts a look as calm as deep, visits a turbulent West that delves into the dark side of a myth like Jesse James, who has already lost his epic aura. Now, James is a cruel and disloyal bandit, far removed from any romantic breath. But Robert Ford, his murderer, does not fare any better: a rude and vampiric subject marked by his careeristic desires and condemned to the humiliation of representing his vile murder on theatrical tables.

Philadelphia Stories

The Philadelphia Story. USA, 1940 (112 minutes). Director: George Cukor. Performers: Katharine Hepburn, Cary Grant, James Stewart.

Another immaculate comedy by George Cukor, sustained with simple wicks: a prim heiress who is going to remarry, an ex-husband who wants to prevent it and a meddlesome journalist. The classic is born from the personal commitment of Katharine Hepburn: owner of the rights to the play, imposed the names of the scriptwriter, the director and his two co-stars. Cukor, as if it were easy, raises the narrative transparency and sharpens his irony against the press, the new rich and social appearances.
