Avec son deuxi\u00e8me long m\u00e9trage, Zillion<\/em>, Robin Pront, r\u00e9alisateur du polar familial bien noir D’Ardennen<\/em>, change radicalement cap pour livrer un biopic sur-vitamin\u00e9 profond\u00e9ment inscrit dans l’histoire r\u00e9cente de la Belgique, et de ses nuits.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Waar is het feestje? En 1997, elle est \u00e0 quelques centaines de m\u00e8tres de l’Escaut, au Sud d’Anvers, au 4 Jan van Gentsraat. Ou plus pr\u00e9cis\u00e9ment, au Zillion. Si vous \u00eates n\u00e9s avant 1990, vous avez surement d\u00e9j\u00e0 entendu parler du Zillion, de ses folles ambiances, de ses prouesses technologiques, de ses nuits d\u00e9brid\u00e9es. Peut-\u00eatre m\u00eame avez-vous entendu parler de son cr\u00e9ateur, Frank Verstraeten.<\/p>\n

C’est son histoire, forc\u00e9ment incroyable, que Robin Pront condense en un peu plus de deux heures. Son ascension, comme sa chute, qui tiennent en une poign\u00e9e d’ann\u00e9es.<\/p>\n

\"Zillion-Robin-Pront\"<\/p>\n

A l’origine, il y avait un petit (vraiment petit) nerd, un fils \u00e0 maman mal dans sa peau passionn\u00e9 d’informatique, qui imagine un juteux filon pour importer de Chine des composants \u00e9lectroniques qu’il revend en direct aux gens d\u00e9sireux d’am\u00e9liorer les performances de leurs ordinateurs. L’affaire s’av\u00e8re vite florissante, mais la \u00ab\u00a0cr\u00e9ativit\u00e9 fiscale de Frank lui joue rapidement des tours. N’emp\u00eache qu’il a la bosse du commerce. Dommage qu’il n’ait pas le physique pour int\u00e9grer la jet-set anversoise. A moins que… A moins qu’il ne la r\u00e9invente lui-m\u00eame, cette jet-set. Et qu’il n’en b\u00e2tisse le royaume, son Royaume. Ce sera le Zillion.<\/p>\n

En 1997 ouvre donc le Zillion, mega night club \u00e0 la pointe de la technologie, lieu de toutes les joies, et de tous les exc\u00e8s. Pour mener \u00e0 bien ce projet faramineux, Frank fait alliance avec Dennis Black Magic, producteur de films pornos \u00e0 succ\u00e8s, et Miss Belgique, un trio inattendu, qui va propulser le Zillion dans la l\u00e9gende, avant qu\u2019il ne s\u2019\u00e9crase en plein vol, plomb\u00e9 par la fraude, les trahisons et les relations douteuses de son patron.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Grandeur et d\u00e9cadence d\u2019un geek acari\u00e2tre. Derri\u00e8re les show lasers, les beats \u00e9tourdissants, les gogo-danseuses \u00e0 tous les \u00e9tages, la coke au kilo et la thune comme s\u2019il en pleuvait, c\u2019est la trajectoire de com\u00e8te de Frank Verstraeten que l\u2019on scrute, anti-h\u00e9ros \u00e0 premi\u00e8re vue antipathique, rendu presque sympathique par sa pers\u00e9v\u00e9rance, et l\u2019ampleur de ses ambitions, lui qui partait pourtant de peu.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Robin Front s\u2019essaie au biopic \u00e9pique, mi-Casino<\/i> pour le r\u00e9cit \u00e0 la premi\u00e8re personne, mi-The Social Network<\/i> pour le geek d\u00e9termin\u00e9, ayant d\u00e9nich\u00e9 une ar\u00e8ne spectaculaire (le Zillion, night-club flamboyant et personnage \u00e0 part enti\u00e8re) et un quatuor de personnages (il faut ajouter la m\u00e8re au trio form\u00e9 par Frank, sa reine de beaut\u00e9 et son roi du porno) haut en couleur, et m\u00eame bigger than life.<\/p>\n

\"Zillion-Robin-Pront\"<\/p>\n

La direction artistique devrait permettre de faire r\u00e9sonner chez le public belge une fibre nostalgique, dont il a fallu en partie inventer les codes cin\u00e9matographiques pour l\u2019occasion. Une esth\u00e9tique forc\u00e9ment clinquante, mais fid\u00e8le \u00e0 la d\u00e9cadence jusqu\u2019au-boutiste de l\u2019\u00e9poque.<\/p>\n

Si la nostalgie n’est pas le sujet premier du film – c’est plut\u00f4t la trajectoire fulgurante d’un anti-h\u00e9ros m\u00fb par une force presque surnaturelle, mais trahi\u00a0 aussi bien par son hubris que son entourage -, elle joue \u00e0 plein dans cette plong\u00e9e \u00e9tourdissante dans les ann\u00e9es 2000.<\/p>\n

L\u2019ensemble est soutenu par l\u2019\u00e9nergie des interpr\u00e8tes, Jonas Vermeulen se d\u00e9brouillant pour donner une vraie intensit\u00e9 \u00e0 son personnage de anti-h\u00e9ros, Charlotte Timmers, de la profondeur \u00e0 Miss Belgique, Matteo Simoni, de la complexit\u00e9 \u00e0 son roi du porno, et Barbara Sarafian, du machiav\u00e9lisme \u00e0 sa m\u00e8re aimante. \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
