Mrs. French's cat is missing. The signs are posted all over town. "Have you seen Honey?" We've all seen the posters, but nobody has seen Honey the cat. Nobody. Until last Thursday morning, when Miss Colette Piscine swerved her car to miss Honey the cat as she drove across a bridge. Well this bridge, now slightly damaged, is a bit of a local treasure and even has its own fancy name; Pont de Flaque. Now Collette, that sounds like Culotte. That's Panty in French. And Piscine means Pool. Panty pool. Flaque also means pool in French, so Colete Piscine, in French Panty Pool, drives over the Pont de Flaque, the Pont de Pool if you will, to avoid hitting Mrs. French's cat that has been missing in Pontypool. Pontypool. Pontypool. Panty pool. Pont de Flaque. What does it mean? Well, Norman Mailer, he had an interesting theory that he used to explain the strange coincidences in the aftermath of the JFK assasination. In the wake of huge events, after them and before them, physical details they spasm for a moment; they sort of unlock and when they come back into focus they suddenly coincide in a weird way. Street names and birthdates and middle names, all kind of superfluous things appear related to eachother. It's a ripple effect. So, what does it mean? Well... it means something's going to happen. Something big. But then, something's always about to happenCiter:
Pontypool, Ontario. Grant Mazzy, autrefois grande star de la radio nationale, se dirige, comme chaque matin à la station radio de la ville, situé dans le sous-sol de l'église. Il y rejoint Sydney et Laurel, les standardistes. Mais en plein milieu de la matinée, des émeutes font rages dans la région : un terrible virus vient d'être relâché. L'équipe n'a pas le choix : rester dans le sous-sol et informer les populations.
Par quoi commencer si ce n'est par dire que j'ai vraiment aimé/adoré/surkiffé ce film canadien au budget riquiqui. Huis clos pur et dur qui colle vraiment les miquettes sans nous exposer la classique barbaque crue du cinéma de genre, Pontypool est intelligent, subtil mais aussi délicieusement incohérent. Un film à passer en boucle aux tâcherons d'Hollywood, non mais.
