La Reine Christine, Pasteur, Frida, La Mome, Mesrine, Cloclo… Longtemps moque pour son academisme, raille pour ses penchants melodramatiques, accuse de travestir l’histoire en la saisissant par le petit bout de la lorgnette, le biopic connait aujourd’hui un regain d’interet critique qui est a la mesure de sa fortune actuelle sur nos ecrans. Cet ouvrage, qui s’inscrit dans ce mouvement de redecouverte, rend compte de la complexite du genre biographique comme production culturelle. Il explore plus particulierement trois de ses traits saillants : les tensions entre fiction, reel et histoire qui sont autant constitutives du biopic qu’elles en alimentent les critiques ou les reevaluations; le double standard a l’oeuvre dans les films, selon que le sujet en est un homme ou une femme; enfin sa dimension nationale ou globale, analysee ici en confrontant biopics francais et biopics hollywoodiens.
