Résumé

Le but de ce texte est d’analyser trois biopics de Martin Scorsese, en se demandant s’ils peuvent fonctionner comme une source de mémoire visuelle ou un témoignage pour le futur, même si la subjectivité interfère dans les montages documentaires sur le cinéma et le théâtre, la littérature et la musique. En ce qui concerne le ton et la construction des biopics, nous les avons nommés «selfie-biopic», «complice-biopic» et «tribute-biopic». Le corpus principal de cette étude comprend des documentaires de trois types : une biographie complice sur le metteur en scène de théâtre et réalisateur Elia Kazan, Uma carta para Elia (2010) ; un «selfie-biopic», Public Speaking (2010), sur l’écrivain Fran Lebowitz ; et un «biopic hommage» sur la musique, George Harrison vivendo no mundo material (2011), évoquant le guitariste des Beatles. Le cadre de référence théorique comprend les concepts de la mémoire subjective de Beatriz Sarlo et l’étude des inter-expressions de Julia Kristeva. Les concepts de Bill Nichols et de Fernão Ramos sont pertinents pour la définition du documentaire moderne ainsi que pour l’histoire du documentaire de Deane Williams.
