Resum
The proposed communication aims to analyze the interrelations between cinema (politics) and history that are created from the film La confesión (L'aveu, 1970), directed by Costa-Gavras and written by Jorge Semprún, based on the autobiographical work of the same name. Artur London. The film narrates the Kafkaesque process suffered by this Czech communist leader accused of being a spy (played by Yves Montand), from his arrest in the early fifties until his release during the Prague Spring. The interest of the reflection will focus on several axes: on the one hand in the ideological approach of the authors, which links the Stalinist repression with the Soviet invasion of 1968 by launching an express plea against such events, received with notable controversy in some sectors of the European left; the own biographical and literary correspondence between the scriptwriter Semprún, the character of the film Gérard, and the biographical character London; and finally the metacinematographic rereading developed by the documentary maker Chris Marker in two short films: Un jour de tournage (1969) and On vous parle de Prague: Le deuxième procès d'Artur London (1971), which deal with the Costa-Gavras film.
