La prima stagione lascia un po perplessi ma strada facendo si capisce il filo logico

Veramente grandiosa questa serie francese, una bellissima scoperta. Non c'è praticamente nessuna violenza, ma tanta suspence e una sceneggiatura da urlo. La seconda serie è quasi più bella della prima

Come ho scritto sulla 1a stagione , anche questa 2a stagione mi piace et mi entusiasma , si stanno sviluppando i diversi temi messi in opera nella 1a stagione , il valore di tutto questo e' quello che ( puo' ) sembrare ( vero ) non puo' esserlo 1 po' e/o per niente , questo mi stimola ad immaginare come potra' essere il seguito della serie .

Storia interessante, ma il racconto è lento, fiacco. Ho visto di meglio

Le bureau des légendes - saison 2

Recensito in Francia il 13 febbraio 2020

On m'a offert récemment la saison 1 de cette série que je ne connaissais pas du tout (pas abonné à Canal plus).
J'ai été absolument scotché par cette série. Les histoires racontées sont passionnantes. Les personnages, tout-à-fait fascinants, évoluent dans un monde où tous les coups sont permis et où la confiance ne règne décidément pas, même entre pays dits "amis". Les sujets et problématiques, très actuelles, évoquées (Djihad, Daesh, Syrie, etc ...) rendent le scénario extrêmement crédible. On reste impressionné par l'utilisation importante de toutes les technologies disponibles pour mener à bien ou non les différentes actions.
On se plait à admirer les comportements et/ou le courage des divers personnages devant l'adversité et les risques que leur métier leur fait courir.
Les personnages joués par Mathieu Kassowitz, JP Darroussin , Sara Giraudeau sont excellents.
Une mention particulière pour une actrice que je découvre, Zineb Triki, et qui me semble avoir de l'avenir et du potentiel devant elle;
Vivement la saison 3 !

Fear that a sequel might not live up to the success of the original must run through the minds of those involved with a production, especially through the mind of the writer of the drama. In this case it’s Éric Rochant, the man who created and wrote the series. I don’t know what he’s feeling now after Season Two of The Bureau has been written, produced and filmed, but I think he ought to feel proud. In my view both seasons are masterpieces.

The Bureau is not an entertainment per se. It’s intriguing, challenging, fascinating, and draws us in as viewers. But it’s far, far away from the comic-book stuff of James Bond and other action spy heroes. It’s not fantasy. Recent terrorist atrocities in Manchester and London remind us of the tenor of the times we’re living through. France and Belgium just the same: Paris (Charlie Hebdo, Bataclan), Nice (a lorry ploughing through an innocent crowd of Bastille Day holiday revellers), Brussels (scores murdered at its airport). The threats are not imagined. They are real and continue.

What protects the public from such acts of terror? Law enforcement. But the enforcers themselves depend for the most part on detailed and painstaking intelligence that is hard to come by. This is true because we can’t read the minds of others. We can only watch patterns of behaviour and try to anticipate where these might lead. It’s the job of intelligence agents to be clairvoyants and soothsayers. They read the runes and foretell the future. Or try to. They save lives before they’ll be lost. They try to protect the state, society, community, institutions. They’re the first line of defence against assaults on our democracies and freedoms.

Their heroic work is hardly seen in the light of day. Most of it unfolds in cramped and dark rooms. Information comes via interrogations, computer networks, satellite feeds, listening devices, CCTV or hidden cameras. Enemies of the state and people are clever, sophisticated, well organised. They’re hard to track and read. The agents who tail them, or try to, are thus in potential continuous danger, their high-stakes game one for high rollers, great risk takers only.

Guillaume Debailly is one of these. He’s an accidental double agent who serves more than one master. Accidental because his professional and emotional lives are complicated. He is no traitor. In fact, quite the opposite — a patriot who serves his country faithfully. He’s a defender of its famously hard-won freedoms. He knows what the Revolution of 1789 did and how it changed the world. He’s proud of France and of being French. But he’s also loyal to a woman he loves. He first loved her in Damascus when he went undercover there for six years as a teacher and poet of French literature. There he was Paul Lefebvre, not Guillaume Debailly. His Syrian love is now in Paris and endangered. He cannot protect and save her as Debailly, only as Lefebvre. But Lefebvre is dead, his identity discarded as far as his employer the DGSE is concerned. Debailly would have it that way too if he could, but he can’t. He can only protect her by going outside the DGSE (Directorate-General of External Security, the French version of MI6), by resurrecting the identity of Lefebvre. This leads him to involvement with the CIA, something he’s loathe to do but must. He needs the American spooks to help him protect Nadia, his Syrian lover, because if he loses her he loses everything, her life on the line because of him. Thus he’ll do everything to save her, walking a dangerous knife-edge between his dual identities.

Mathieu Kassovitz, who plays Debailly/Lefebvre, is magnificent. He’s acting to be sure, but so intensely it feels as though we’re watching a documentary of an actual spy at work. Uncanny, life-like. Or how one imagines the world of espionage to be. James Bond had his tuxedos, martinis, yachts and bikinied beach girls. Debailly has none of this. His days are fraught, his nights lonely. He thinks and worries a lot. He also writes a lot — privately, surreptitiously. He keeps a journal, a long confessional love letter to the 19-year-old daughter he loves but who isn’t allowed to know anything about him as a man. Instead, enigma, mystery, ghost to her, a loving father but a stranger. It’s always been this way for him, heartbreaking and lonely. The journal thus becomes his emotional will and testament to her, his soul finally bared, his spirit freed.

But he cannot write such a confession to the other woman he loves — to Nadia for whom he risks everything. His only way is to carry on in isolation to protect her from political evil.

The main thrust of the drama shows the ever-deepening complications of his loves. These mirror the ever-deepening complications of his espionage, the two of them irredeemably entwined. He’s a clever, cunning, meticulous man, a strategist and gambler who plays chess in his spare time, but he — just like all of us — is powerless to control unfolding events. He can only do his best to sway them toward directions he would like them to take.

I could write reams about the detailed actions that go on in the series, or about the many complex and interesting persons with whom Debailly interacts, especially his colleagues. But these details would take up too much space in a review, and anyway the production is meant to be seen and appreciated, not read about. I can only speak for myself. If I could give the series 10 stars, I would. Mathieu Kassovitz as Debailly is in a rarified orbit of acting. The world needs to see more of his talent. Thus it’s wonderful to know a third season is now being filmed and will air later this year in France. I’m not sure when the DVD will be made available but I’ll preorder it when Amazon announces it.

The series may not be your cup of tea, but it’s my fine wine. I sipped it slowly, attentively, and loved the heady sensation it gave me.

Une fiction française de ce niveau, c'est rare !

Recensito in Francia il 22 giugno 2017

En tout premier lieu, un coup de chapeau à Mathieu Kassovitz. Il emporte le morceau et justifie à lui seul que l'on regarde cette série. Il est exceptionnel d'intensité, de simplicité et de retenue. Il fait partie de ces comédiens que la caméra affectionne. Allez savoir pourquoi il a une belle "matière" cinématographique. Il est plus net, plus "piqué" que les autres. C'est une injustice ! Il fait penser au Pacino des bons jours et c'est probablement l'un de nos meilleurs acteurs. Les seconds rôles sont bien venus, surprenants et attachants, choisis à rebours des conventions. Deux points noirs cependant : Sara Giraudeau, un peu agaçante, très maniérée et toujours dans le registre du lamento et Léa Drucker, insupportable et ridicule en psychanalyste agent double. Elle vaut son pesant de neuroleptiques. Mais ce sont vraiment des détails qui ne retirent rien à la qualité de l'ensemble. Le scénario est remarquablement tricoté malgré la masse de situations complexes à gérer. Il avance en proposant toujours des solutions inattendues et parfois glaçantes. En plus la production ne recule pas à la dépense et ça se voit. Les paysages et les lieux font vrai, ça n'est jamais bricolé. Le récit y gagne en épaisseur et en force. De la grande télévision qui ne crétinise pas le spectateur.
