Créateur de Wallace et Gromit, Nick Park signe un nouveau long métrage et nous entraîne dans la Préhistoire, pour nous faire découvrir les origines du football avec “Cro Man”. Un film réalisé en solo et dont il nous a parlé.

Le football a-t-il été créé à la fin du XIXè siècle ? Ou pendant la Préhistoire, du côté de Manchester ? C’est visiblement la seconde option qui prime selon Cro Man, nouveau bébé des studios Aardman et de Nick Park, créateur de Wallace et Gromit. Treize ans après la sortie du Lapin-Garou, ce dernier repasse au long et derrière la caméra pour nous faire remonter le temps avec humour. Mais c’est au présent, et dans un hôtel parisien, qu’il nous dévoile cette aventure.

AlloCiné : “Cro Man” marque une petite révolution car c’est le premier long métrage que vous avez réalisé seul.
Nick Park : En effet. D’habitude nous réalisons à deux, en suivant le modèle de Disney, qui met souvent deux réalisateurs à la tête d’un film. Il y a beaucoup de travail donc cela permet de se le partager. J’ai partagé ma vision avec Steve Box sur Wallace & Gromit – Le Mystère du Lapin-Garou, avec Peter Lord sur Chicken Run, et j’ai beaucoup appris. Mais cette fois-ci, je voulais tenir les rênes moi-même, être sur le siège du conducteur.

Quel élément de l’histoire est arrivé le premier : le décor préhistorique, ou le football ?
J’ai d’abord eu envie de faire un film sur des hommes des cavernes, sur l’âge de pierre. J’ai toujours eu ça dans le sang. Quand j’avais 11 ans, je suis devenu un grand fan du travail de Ray Harryhausen, et Un million d’années avant J.-C. était mon film préféré. J’aime les dinosaures et les hommes des cavernes, et je pense que j’étais trop jeune pour remarquer Raquel Welch. Moi j’aimais juste les dinosaures (rires)

C’est grâce à ce film que j’ai eu envie de prendre une caméra pour réaliser les miens, donc je remercie Ray Harryhausen pour cela. C’est en dessinant des hommes de cavernes avec leurs lances que j’ai pensé au sport, et eu envie de mêler les deux, car le sport est une force civilisatrice. J’ai donc développé cette idée d’hommes préhistoriques qui inventent le football, qui possède une nature tribale. Donc la machine s’est enclenchée à partir de là.

Le film laisse entendre que vous êtes un grand fan de Manchester United. Est-ce vrai ?
Moi ? Oh non. Je ne suis même pas vraiment un fan de football (rires) J’aime ce sport, mais j’aime surtout regarder la Coupe du Monde, les gros matches, que je trouve stimulants. Mais je n’ai pas grandi dans une famille mordue de football. J’ai grandi dans le nord de l’Angleterre, où l’équipe locale était Preston North End [l’un des clubs fondateurs du championnat anglais en 1888, premier champion de l’Histoire et actuellement en Championship, ou deuxième division, ndlr]. J’avais son nom écrit sur mon cartable, mais c’est tout. Je ne suis même pas allé voir l’équipe jouer (rires)

Vous avez réalisé beaucoup de courts et longs métrages pour Aardman : quel a été le principal défi sur celui-ci ? Le plus inédit ?
Il s’agit ici d’un tout nouveau monde, mais j’ai trouvé ce défi séduisant. Il y avait des décors massifs à construire, une vallée luxuriante, une forêt, des paysages préhistoriques avec des volcans. Nous avons dû nous tourner vers les effets numériques pour beaucoup de ces choses. Le plus gros de l’animation est bien évidemment fait à l’ancienne, avec des marionnettes et en stop-motion.

Mais quand nous sommes arrivés au match de football, ça a été l’un de nos gros challenges : pas sur le plan technique, car la foule a été faite numériquement ; mais il nous a fallu mettre un match en scène et le rendre cinématographique, car vous ne voyez pas souvent le football au cinéma. Il y a bien eu quelques films sur le sport, mais ils ne sont pas très bons. Et c’est encore plus dur en stop-motion, car il faut que cela paraisse dynamique. Gladiator a été ma principale référence pour déterminer à quel point le match devait être excitant.

Former Vice President and 2020 presidential candidate Joe Biden speaks to voters at Johnsons Reception Hall in Elkader, Iowa.

Former Vice President Joe Biden is defending himself against criticism over a heated town hall earlier this week in which he called a voter a “damn liar” and challenged him to a push-up contest and IQ test. The voter, an 83-year-old retired farmer, stood up to ask about Biden’s and his son Hunter’s work in Ukraine, making some false accusations about it. He also said Biden was too old to run for president.

In a nearly two-minute exchange caught on video that was widely shared, Biden raised his voice as he forcefully pushed back on the voter’s allegations. Biden also seemed to comment on the voter’s appearance — after the the man said he saw one allegation on TV, Biden replied, “I know you do … I’m not sedentary.”

“The fact of the matter is, this guy stood up and he was, in fact, lying,” Biden said in an interview Friday evening with NPR Morning Edition host Rachel Martin on his campaign bus on the way to Decorah, Iowa. “And I just pointed out, you’re a liar. It’s it’s a fact. He lied, period. And so, you know, maybe I shouldn’t have kidded with him about that.”

Biden’s son has not been accused of any legal wrongdoing related to his time in Ukraine.

Biden also defended the push-up and IQ challenges, saying he was joking.

“He said, ‘You’re too old. I can’t vote for somebody as old as you.’ I said “Okay!” Biden said. “And he was challenging me what kind of shape, and so I kidded. I said, ‘Want to do a push-up contest?’ I was joking.”

Voters say they felt Biden’s tone was off-putting, especially from a candidate who talks a lot about restoring civility. Biden’s argues he was just telling it like it is.

“That’s not civil?” Biden said. “To call someone who lied a liar?”

One woman, Mary Clark, who is 94, told NPR before a Biden event Friday in Elkhart, Iowa, that she was “so disappointed in Biden. That is not the Joe I know. He sounded like Donald Trump in that clip.”

Biden wholly dismissed that comparison. “Donald Trump, he makes fun of people. He belittles people. He lies. I don’t do any of those things. Period.”

The number of Chinese maritime incursions near Japanese-held islands in the East China Sea soared to a record this year, illustrating simmering tensions between Asia’s two biggest economies.

Chinese government ships, including coast guard vessels, have entered what Japan considers its exclusive waters more than 1,000 times this year, according to data from the Japan Coast Guard. That’s on track for an 80 percent increase over last year, and far more than any year since 2012, when China began making regular incursions around the islands.

The patrols — along with the recent detention and release of a Japanese academic accused by China of stealing state secrets — show how key disputes between the two neighbors remain unresolved even as they publicly tout warming ties.

Prime Minister Shinzo Abe is expected to hold talks with Chinese President Xi Jinping during his planned visit to China later this month, Chinese Vice President Wang Qishan said Friday. It will be Abe’s second trip to China in little more than a year, and he is hoping to host Xi on a state visit next year.

The remark by Wang, a close aide to Xi, came during a meeting in Beijing with Shigeru Kitamura, a former top intelligence officer who has served as Abe’s national security adviser since September.

While it’s unclear what’s driving the uptick in maritime incursions, Beijing has long sought for Tokyo to formally acknowledge the dispute over the small, uninhabited islands, known as the Senkakus in Japan and the Diaoyus in China. A decision by Abe’s predecessor in 2012 to purchase some of the islands prompted a wave of anti-Japanese demonstrations and boycotts and led Beijing to step up maritime patrols.

The Chinese Ministry of Foreign Affairs in Beijing didn’t respond to a request for comment Thursday. China holds that the islands — located just north of Taiwan and surrounded by potential natural gas deposits — are part of its historical territory that should have been returned with the rest of Japan’s colonial possessions after World War II.

Abe has spent much of his seven-year tenure trying to repair ties with China while maintaining Tokyo’s postwar alliance with Washington. That effort has been tested in recent months by Japanese officials’ defense of peaceful protests in Hong Kong and Tokyo’s move to effectively exclude Huawei Technologies Co. from government contracts.

At least 14 Japanese citizens have been detained in China since 2015, according to Japan’s Foreign Ministry. Five have since been released while another nine remain in custody under accusations of violating national security laws.

The increased maritime patrols will make Abe’s balancing act more difficult during his visit to China, where he is also expected to hold a trilateral summit with Chinese Premier Li Keqiang and South Korean President Moon Jae-in.

Fisheries cooperatives in Okinawa Prefecture, where the islands are located, have complained about being forced away from waters due to Chinese patrols while right-wing politicians have encouraged Abe to take a hard line with China in the territorial dispute.

“China is engaging in unilateral and coercive attempts to change the status quo based on its own assertions incompatible with the existing international order, and has been expanding and intensifying its military activities in maritime and aerial domains,” the Japanese Defense Ministry said in annual policy paper published in September.

Pep Guardiola finds it “difficult” to fathom how Manchester City are 11 points behind Liverpool in the Premier League table.

City’s hopes of winning a third straight title have already been rendered slim by Liverpool, who have dropped two points all season.

Leicester are even ahead of Guardiola’s side, who are as close in terms of points to Manchester United and Crystal Palace as they are Liverpool.

The gap will be as much as 14 points if the Reds beat Bournemouth on Saturday before City’s Manchester derby against United.

Guardiola is already finding it tough to work out the gap as it is, poor thing.

“It’s difficult to answer. I don’t know. I would like to discover the reason for this big gap with Liverpool.

“One is, no doubt, the quality of the opponent. I repeat, one game lost in almost 60, the numbers are incredible.

“When I review all the games we’ve played, even Norwich, we created 20 shots.

“We are the best team by far at creating chances and the best team by far at conceding few.

“We’ve been much better than the opponents but we are 11 points behind. So something has happened.”

 

Pep Guardiola says Mikel Arteta is capable of managing Arsenal or Everton but the Manchester City boss is hoping his assistant stays at the Etihad.

Guardiola insists City have not received any approaches for Arteta but the boss believes his colleague is ready to make the step up.

Asked if he could one day succeed him at the Etihad Stadium, Guardiola told Sky Sports News: “He is able to do that, but it depends on him, the club – many things that I cannot decide.”

Guardiola, however says he would not stand in Arteta’s way if he wanted to take up an opportunity elsewhere.

He said: “I’m not a guy that puts a gun to the heads of my staff or players and says what they have to do.

“We are human beings and everyone has dreams and desires. Hopefully he can stay this season and the next one – as long as possible in this club.

“That would be my dream, but Mikel has his own life and I will never say what he has to do.”

Frank Lampard has warned Chelsea face a big recruitment “challenge” after the Blues’ transfer embargo was lifted.

The Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) has halved Chelsea’s two-window FIFA transfer ban, freeing up the Stamford Bridge club to make new signings in January.

Chelsea boss Lampard admitted he will look to strengthen next month despite being happy with his current squad, with a new left-back and second striker among the priorities.

Academy graduates Tammy Abraham, Mason Mount and Reece James have starred as Lampard was unable to mark his summer arrival with any statement signings. And the former England midfielder admitted Chelsea must be careful not to make transfers for transfers’ sake.

Asked about the prospect of dipping into the transfer market, Lampard said: “It will be a challenge, yes. Personally what affected me in the summer with the transfer ban, when you come into the club or when you want to go a certain way, sometimes the players you bring in and the attributes they have are key to that.

“I couldn’t make those changes to bring in the players that I felt would help the way I wanted us to play.

“Going forward that is something that I will put to the club. It is a much bigger process than just me making a decision on who I want to buy. It’s not that simple.

“It’s not just myself who gets it right or wrong, but as a club we will have a full discussion and I have a very open conversation with (director) Marina (Granovskaia) and the owner.

“Any recommendations that I make to improve the squad as I see will improve us in the shape that we want to go. It will be a challenge and hopefully we will get it right.”

The Blues were hit with the two-window FIFA transfer embargo in April on issues relating to the signing of overseas youth players.

The Swiss-based CAS has halved Chelsea’s punishments on appeal however, leaving the Blues able to recruit next month.

“The sole arbitrator found that CFC did violate Articles 19.1 (related to the international transfer of minors) and 19.3 (related to the first registration of minors), but for a significantly smaller number of players (about one third of the violations found by FIFA),” read a CAS statement.

“In addition, the violations of other RSTP rules were found to be less serious than those attributed to Chelsea FC by FIFA.

“Accordingly, the sole arbitrator reduced the sanction to one single transfer ban (which Chelsea FC already served during the 2019 summer registration period), and halved the monetary sanction.”

Lampard has welcomed Chelsea’s ability to bolster their squad in mid-season, but also insisted he will not alter the Stamford Bridge picture lightly.

“It’s a positive outcome for us; it allows us the potential to look at the market going forward,” said Lampard.

“So I’m pleased from a footballing level. It was never my business to get involved in the reasons why or the legal side of it.

“As much as it is important to bring players in, it is as important for me that we keep the balance of the squad right.

“I don’t see just the 11 players who start, but the squad of 20-plus men that need to help us over the course of the season.

“So if we are going to bring in players or players leave it will be with a view to go in that direction.”

Lewis Dunk revealed turning Arsenal supporters against their team was part of the plan which saw Brighton pile further misery on the Gunners on Thursday night.

Neal Maupay’s late header secured a 2-1 victory at the Emirates Stadium and ruined Freddie Ljungberg’s first home game as interim head coach.

It also extended a winless run for the hosts to nine games, their worst since 1977, as the Seagulls celebrated a first-ever away win against Arsenal.

Adam Webster’s finish had given Graham Potters’ side a deserved half-time lead with Arsenal jeered off by their own fans as Ljungberg was given a harsh wake-up call as to the size of the task in front of him.

The 42-year-old Swede replaced Unai Emery after he was sacked on Friday but his side could only follow up a 2-2 draw at struggling Norwich with another insipid display.

Brighton had not won on the road since an opening weekend victory at Watford but captain Dunk insisted they aimed to use the unease around the Emirates as a way to see off their beleaguered opponents.

“I think if we put them under pressure, and got into them early like we did, I think it was going to be tough for them,” he said.

“They are going through a tough time, and if we got on top of them, the crowd would go against them and we managed that.

“Obviously you want to start a game well and get on top of any team but obviously they are going through a tough time so we knew it was going to be really important to do that here.

“So the crowd turned on them a bit, especially at half-time when they were booing them so it was a nice win.

“They are a top side, we were probably expecting more but it was credit to us the way we can play football.”

Dunk felt the performance from Brighton, especially in the first half, was vindicated by the response of Arsenal’s disgruntled fanbase – who jeered at both half-time and full-time – for what was a fine result for Graham Potter’s side.

“I think it has got to be a testament to us and the way we performed in the first half,” he replied when asked about the booing.

“We are a good side and hopefully we can keep working hard in training and keep improving. We are still learning under this manager and we have a long way to go.

“It is a massive win and we are all buzzing in the changing room. In the end, we won dirty if you look at it in the second half.”

Ljungberg conceded the reaction from the home fans did little to help his players.

The champions’ suspect defence will be severely tested by the in-form forward but Pep Guardiola’s attackers were back to their best at Burnley

There has been a sense inside Manchester City that little has gone right for them this season.

There have been long-term injuries to key players, borderline VAR decisions going against them and some off-field issues disrupting the harmony of a tight-knit dressing room.

It’s all combined to leave them third in the Premier League table, 11 points behind runaway leaders Liverpool after 15 games, prompting some pundits and journalists to openly wonder whether we’re seeing the beginning of the end of Pep Guardiola’s reign at the Etihad.

However, at Turf Moor on Tuesday night, City routed Burnley 4-1 with the kind of dazzling football that characterised the past two, title-winning seasons.

The joy – and indeed relief – was visible in the players’ faces afterwards, as they emerged from the Lancashire club’s utilitarian dressing room and on to the team coach.

It may seem strange to say it, given the contrasting circumstances, but this latest win was celebrated with more gusto than the narrow 1-0 triumph at Turf Moor seven months ago that put City back ahead of Liverpool in an epic title race.

In a way, it was just as vital a victory, coming as it did after the depressing 2-2 draw at Newcastle.

On that occasion, the City squad were subdued as they departed St James’ Park, with only Kyle Walker remaining defiant, the full-back calling on his colleagues to fight until the end to hold on to their title.

The performance at Burnley was, therefore, the perfect response to that rallying cry. It felt like a turning point, too.

City partied in the dressing room afterwards, with the players, coaches and backroom staff all gathering for a photograph to commemorate the return of their very best form.

Due to City’s injury issues this season, Guardiola has had to get even more creative in his attempts to break down opponents that Walker argued after the Newcastle draw have begun to work out how to play against the previously all-conquering champions.

Consequently, the manner of the victory at Burnley was more important than the three points.

City dominated from start to finish, with 76 per cent possession and 17 shots, of which eight were on target.

It was the welcome return of the kind of ridiculous numbers we have come to associate with Guardiola’s side, the thrilling product of the Catalan going back to his tried-and-trusted formula for systematically tearing apart inferior opposition.

The former Barcelona and Bayern Munich boss opted for a more typical front three, with two attacking midfielders behind and a holding midfielder shielding the back four.

It was a show of confidence in struggling striker Gabriel Jesus and the Brazilian responded with a dynamic performance, pulling the Burnley centre-backs all over Turf Moor and capping his night with two spectacularly-taken goals.

Raheem Sterling and Bernardo Silva stretched the home side by holding their wide positions, while Kevin De Bruyne was back to his unstoppable best as he transitioned from defence to attack with speed and accuracy.

With David Silva floating between the lines and the full-backs, Walker and Angelino, pushing forward in support, it was a classic City approach – and, as a result, performance.

While neighbours Manchester United produced arguably their best display of the season so far to defeat Jose Mourinho’s Tottenham 24 hours later, City’s showing should frighten Ole Gunnar Solskjaer going into Saturday’s derby.

Indeed, the only disappointment at Burnley was the inability to keep a clean sheet for an eighth successive match.

A recalled Nicolas Otamendi and central defensive partner Fernandinho stood up well to the aerial threat of Chris Wood and substitute Ashley Barnes, restricting the home side to half-chances.

But the defence switched off from a throw-in in the dying minutes and the ball fell to Robbie Brady to sweep home a late consolation.

It was one of only two shots on target and underlined the perception that City are prone to giving up massive chances, given Newcastle scored twice against them at the weekend from just three shots.

While it didn’t take the gloss off a fine all-round display, it did raise further concerns over a defence that will have to deal with an in-form Marcus Rashford on Saturday.

The England international has 12 goals in his last 13 games for club and country and has netted nine times in the Premier League alone.

City will believe that they can contain Rashford, though, particularly after Otamendi produced arguably his best individual performance of the season on Tuesday.

What’s more, the title holders will be confident of cutting out Rashford’s supply line.

Rodri was commanding and clever at Burnley, showing just why City decided to spend a club record £62.5million ($82m) to sign him from Atletico Madrid.

It was a timely, morale-boosting performance from the Spaniard, who should now be looking forward to dealing with the likes of Fred, Scott McTominay and Jesse Lingard.

United, of course, won’t take the game to City this weekend. They are a side best suited to counter-attacking and they will attempt to exploit Rashford’s pace on the break.

However, City got back on track by going back to basics at Burnley on Tuesday night. The defence may still be in need of repair but, if they can put the brakes on Rashford, we could be in for a demolition derby.

Scott Moore et Jon Lucas sont toujours à la barre de ce deuxième opus qui réunit un cast qui fait la part belle aux actrices. Côté mecs, on peut tout de même compter sur Peter Gallagher (le papa cool Newport Beach) et Justin Hartley (alias Kevin dans This Is Us).

Le Noël rocambolesque des Bad Moms 2 démarre le 29 novembre.
