Jannick

Jannick di Quentin Dupieux Un paio di film all’anno, budget risicati e la fantasia lasciata libera di spaziare tra generi e umori, il cinema di Quentin Dupieux (Mandibules) da tempo si distingue per originalità tra le tante proposte che arrivano da tutta Europa. L’ultimo arrivato – ed è il terzo per quest’anno – s’intitola Jannick e nel concorso di Locarno porta un alito di piacevole…

We’re lacking Dark Rise content and James is my favorite character so here you go.

I pictured a whole scene in my head for the time James had to escape the Steward’s Hall. I hope we will have Pacat’s version in one of the future books but here’s how I see it: 

It’s night time, and Cyprian wakes James up and tells him that he met their father on his way to the commodities and that Jannick told him to send James to him.

James is as tired as he’s a dutiful son so of course he exits the dormitories to get to his father. When he finds him, Jannick is with two other Stewards, and he starts to talk to James. Jannick seems upset, or even sick, and as he speaks to his son he shivers, sweats a lot and smiles oddly. James knows something’s off because he’s young but smart (he’s always been told that by everyone), and when Jannick’s face turns cold with understanding and the man takes a sword and asks James to fulfill his duty as a Steward, talking about a traitor and a danger to the Light, James runs away in the corridors. 

He doesn’t know what has taken upon his father and the two other Stewards but he just has to find another adult and ask for help. He knows every inhabitants of this Hall since his birth, they’re all family to him, he can trust every Steward. Jannick and the two other Stewards are running after him, but James sees Justice, and relief rushes in his veins. 

Then, Jannick shouts something at Justice, and the Steward’s eyes turn ice-like. He raises his sword, and James has to fall to his knees so he doesn’t run right on the blade. Justice,  Jannick and the two other Stewards are circling him, and he’s trapped between shining swords. Panic rises as their silver light comes closer. He shoots terrified looks at his father, then at the others, but they all seem to not recognize him. He tells them something, he can hear his own words but doesn’t know what he’s trying to say. 

A familiar energy runs through his fingers, then his arms, then his torso, but he has to keep it in, because it always frightens him and when he told his father about this energy (and his invisible hands), Jannick has slapped him. But James’ panic grows, enormous and ugly, and when the boy yells for help, it releases all of the energy in his abdomen. Jannick, Justice and the two others fly across the corridor, projected by James’ scream (he just knows that his scream has caused this). He doesn’t think to much about that, because he’s already panicking and he wants to find an adult who will protect him. 

He screams through the corridors as he runs to find someone, but strangely, the Castle seems empty. After a few minutes, when he finally finds a Steward… They raise their sword at him, with the same coldness as Jannick’s and Justice’s. James freezes. Then he turns around and runs another way. He keeps running and running, and he wants to find his big brother Marcus, but he’s terrified to find him in the same state as his father. He tumbles on other Stewards, but each time, they raise their swords and try to run after him. James feels his invisible hands reacting before he can even think to order them anything. The hands push the Stewards, hit them, twist their blades, and James gets the cold impression to be a hunted prey. 

He has to go upstairs, on the castle’s walkways, and he knows he will be trapped but he doesn’t have another choice. When he gets upstairs, he quickly closes the little door that keeps him from anyone coming from the inside of the walls. He doesn’t know how much time this little door will stop his pursuers, but for now on he’s alone under the beautiful night sky, a gentle breeze kissing his ears. Or at least he believed he was alone, but… There’s someone with him, a few meters away. James is shaking and he feels tears in his eyes when he turns around.

It’s Marcus. He doesn’t have a sword. He’s looking at James with unreadable eyes. The boy, panting and keeping his tears from falling, just stays where he is, trying to know if the young man is going to harm him. But Marcus just opens his arms to James. Then, James runs right in his embrace, giving up on holding his cries and sobbing on Marcus’ torso. Between his hiccups and his tears, he explains him what is happening, tells him he doesn’t understand what is going on with Father and the other adults, and Marcus listens and holds him tight.

When James stops talking to catch his breath and lets his head fall on Marcus’ shoulder, he can feel the young man lifting him off the ground, like a little boy. James adores it. He tightens their hug, crying grateful tears, and letting the relief wash over him. He’s safe, because Marcus is going to solve the problem. He knows that Marcus is walking toward something, but James doesn’t want to get inside, not yet, not when he doesn’t know what the Stewards will do. He raises his head.

Marcus isn’t going to the little door. He’s going the opposite way, to the battlements. After the battlements, there’s a fall, a long fall, with a painful end. James still doesn’t understand. He says Marcus’ name, but his brother doesn’t answer. He calls him once again and is once again greeted by silence. The fear starts to rise again. He tries to get off Marcus’ arms, but the other teen is too strong, and James can’t escape his hold. He screams Marcus’ name, asking what he is doing as they get closer to the battlements. He tries to hit him with his little fists, then pleads, and he sees the void behind his shoulder, and he pleads louder, feeling his heart pounding against his ribs. The panic has taken upon him, and Marcus doesn’t look at him in his eyes, he’s focusing on the fall awaiting his little brother. James tries to summon the energy that protected him from Jannick, but he can’t feel it, he doesn’t know how to use it, and it seems entirely gone. Finally, James sees a flash of silver next to his right leg, and unbearable pain explodes in his ribcage. 

Marcus has stabbed him with a knife he was keeping under his shirt. Quickly, coldly, he turns the knife inside of James, making him spit some blood. Everything is carried out mechanically. As if Marcus wanted James to die sooner as possible. Then, he lets his little brother fall from the murals, under the starry sky, right to the distant, muddy ground that will be his last impression.

Of course James survived, because his own powers won’t let him get killed so easily, but somehow he also died that night. He’s also lost his entire family.
