Times have changed. In Toy Story 3, Woody uses a kind of Pixar Google Maps to know how to go to Andyâs house from Bonnieâs. In both cases, the map does not have a specific role in the fiction. It is simply used to find a location. We can however notice that it is probably the first time a map service appears in an animated movie.

In Synecdoche, the first film he directed, Charlie Kaufman offers us a crazy game based on the impossible paradox of the perfect representation of reality. Caden Cotard (Philip Seymour Hoffman) is a depressive and hypochondriac theater director. He wants to create the absolute play by putting on stage an exact and faithful reproduction of his own life. To meet this requirement, he has to direct himself as a theater director directing himself and he has to hire actors to play actors playing the characters of his life. This results in a spatial impressive machinery.
Dans Synecdoque, son premier film en tant que rĂ©alisateur, Charlie Kaufmann nous propose un jeu dĂ©lirant fondĂ© sur le paradoxe de lâimpossible reprĂ©sentation parfaite de la rĂ©alitĂ©. Caden Cotard, metteur en scĂšne de thĂ©Ăątre dĂ©pressif et hypocondriaque jouĂ© par Philip Seymour Hoffman, veut crĂ©er Ă partir de sa vie une piĂšce de thĂ©Ăątre absolue, totale et intĂ©gralement fidĂšle. Pour respecter son exigence, il doit se mettre en scĂšne en train de mettre en scĂšne sa piĂšce et embaucher des acteurs pour jouer les acteurs jouant les personnages de sa vie. Cela se traduit par un dispositif spatial impressionnant.

Minority Report is a Steven Spielberg film (2002) adapted of the eponymous short story that Philip K. Dick published in 1956. More than fifty years after being written, and although widely modified in the film version, the short story of Dr. K. Dick is still of a troubling modernity. When it was released, the film was considered futuristic, but the daily news are more and more closer of the film script, at least on some points. New communication technologies, virtualization of the world and human relations under the control of the police responsible for maintaining order,and using methods and techniques aiming at the prevention of crime and the arrest of individuals before they commit their crimes. This film is perhaps one of the reference scripts of science fiction films where issues of spatiality and temporality of today humanity are staged by the director, not to impose a vision but to invite the audience to question, which is not so frequent in films.
Minority Report est un film rĂ©alisĂ© en 2002 par Steven Spielberg Ă partir dâune adaptation de la nouvelle Ă©ponyme de Philip K. Dick publiĂ©e en 1956. Plus de cinquante ans aprĂšs avoir Ă©tĂ© Ă©crite, et bien que largement modifiĂ©e dans sa version cinĂ©matographique, la nouvelle de Ph. K. Dick reste dâune troublante modernitĂ©. Lors de sa sortie, ce film fut considĂ©rĂ© comme futuriste, mais lâactualitĂ© se rapproche tous les jours un peu plus du scĂ©nario de ce film, au moins sur certains points. Nouvelles technologies de la communication, virtualisation du monde et des relations humaines placĂ©es sous le contrĂŽle dâune entitĂ© policiĂšre chargĂ©e de faire rĂ©gner lâordre en usant de mĂ©thodes et techniques ayant pour objectifs la prĂ©vention de la criminalitĂ© et lâarrestation des individus avant quâils ne commettent leurs crimes. Ce film est peut-ĂȘtre lâun des scĂ©narios de rĂ©fĂ©rence du cinĂ©ma de science fiction oĂč les questions de spatialitĂ© et de temporalitĂ© de lâhumanitĂ© dâaujourdâhui sont mises en scĂšnes par le rĂ©alisateur, non pas pour imposer une vision mais pour inviter les spectateurs Ă sâinterroger, ce qui est nâest pas si frĂ©quent au cinĂ©ma.

After Carthage SalammbĂŽ, the TGM (Tunis-Goulette-Marsa) train arrives at Sidi Bou Said station. There is in the village another materialization of fiction, in a minor way compared to SalammbĂŽ, more in line with the sky blue house of Le Forestier. The famous song Le cafĂ© des dĂ©lices sung by the French singer and actor Patrick Bruel has materialized in a real cafe of the same name. Many visitors think that Patrick Bruel was inspired by this cafe when he composed the song. Some even believe â and write it on forums â that Bruel is the owner of the cafe. In fact, as shown in this video, the song was not written by Bruel (born in Algeria in 1959) but by Felix Gray (born in Tunisia a year earlier). The song evokes the Tunisian coast: the Port of Tunis, Port El Kantaoui, Hammamet, but not especially Sidi Bou Said.
Si on continue avec le train TGM (Tunis-Goulette-Marsa) un peu plus loin aprĂšs Carthage SalammbĂŽ, on arrive Ă Sidi Bou SaĂŻd oĂč lâon dĂ©couvre une autre matĂ©rialisation de la fiction, en mode mineur cette fois, comparĂ© Ă SalammbĂŽ et plus en rapport avec celle de la maison bleue de Le Forestier. La cĂ©lĂšbre chanson Le cafĂ© des dĂ©lices chantĂ©e par Patrick Bruel sâest matĂ©rialisĂ©e dans le cafĂ© du mĂȘme nom. Beaucoup de visiteurs pensent que Patrick Bruel sâest inspirĂ© de ce cafĂ© pour la composer. Certains croient mĂȘme â cela sâĂ©crit dans les forums â que le cafĂ© lui appartient. En fait, comme on le voit sur cette vidĂ©o, la chanson nâa pas Ă©tĂ© Ă©crite par Bruel (nĂ© en AlgĂ©rie en 1959) mais par FĂ©lix Gray (nĂ© en Tunisie un an plus tĂŽt). La chanson Ă©voque bien le littoral tunisien : le Port de Tunis, Port El Kantaoui, Hammamett, mais pas spĂ©cialement Sidi Bou SaĂŻd.
