Overview
ABSTRACT IN FRENCH: Parfois, l'histoire passe dans un film, et ce passage le transforme, conditionnant des «formes cinématographiques de l'histoire». Nous prenons deux exemples récents où l'histoire revient dans un film pour le bouleverser: Caché (2005), film français du cinéaste autrichien Michael Haneke, et La Question humaine, réalisé par Nicolas Klotz et Élisabeth Perceval en 2007. Dans le premier, remonte une violence aux racines historiques, à travers les événements du 17 octobre 1961 et le sort fait aux Français musulmans d'Algérie en métropole. Dans La Question humaine, qui se déroule également à Paris de nos jours, l'histoire, celle du système d'extermination nazi, s'infiltre peu à peu dans l'enquête interne que mène dans son entreprise un responsable des ressources humaines, remettant en cause sa personalité et sa fonction. Ni Caché ni La Question humaine ne sont à proprement parler des « films historiques ». Pourtant, ce sont bien deux films d'histoire. Car, dans un contexte polémique, ils sont déterminés par certaines formes cinématographiques de l'histoire (le palimpseste, l'effet spectral, le récit policier) que nous tentons ici d'analyser. // ABSTRACT IN ENGLISH: History sometimes emerges in the course of a film, thus transforming the film in the process, and defining the 'cinematographic forms of history'. This article takes up two recent examples in which history intrudes to unsettle a film: Caché (2005), a French film by Austrian director Michael Haneke, and La Question Humaine (2007), directed by Nicolas Klotz and Élisabeth Perceval. In the first one, historical violence-rooted in the events of October 17, 1961 and the treatment in metropolitan France of French Muslims from Algeria-impinges on the narrative. In the second one, also set in contemporary Paris, the history of the Nazi system of extermination gradually infiltrates the auditing process carried out by a Human Resources manager within his own company, challenging both his personality and his profession. While neither Caché nor La Question Humaine can, strictly speaking, be said to be 'historical films', they are undeniably history films, insofar as they are informed, within a polemical context, by certain cinematographic forms of history (the palimpsest, the spectral effect, the police report) analyzed in this paper.
