"One of the most gripping images from the 1960s captures the slight figure of Dr. S. I. Hayakawa scrambling onto a sound truck parked in front of San Francisco State College amid campus unrest. Hayakawa had hoped to use this soapbox to address the assembled demonstrators, but instead he ended up ripping out speaker wires and halting an illegal campus demonstration--or denying first-amendment rights to the crowd, depending on your perspective. Indeed, Hayakawa's entire life defies simplistic labels, and his ability to be categorized largely depends on personal perspective. This intimate and detailed biography draws on interviews with friends and family members, as well as Hayakawa's own papers and journals, to bring this controversial and fascinating figure to life. He was an enigma to colleagues as well as adversaries, a Republican senator who consistently bucked his party's ideals with his support of the women's movement, abortion rights, and even Ronald Reagan's search for a female running mate. The son of Japanese immigrants, born and raised in Canada before moving to the United States, Hayakawa emerges here as a complex and complicated figure. His blend of heritage, politics, artistic inclination, and intellectual achievement makes him quintessentially American"--

En 1916, le film Forfaiture (The Cheat), de Cecil B. DeMille, est projeté pour la première fois sur les écrans français. Ce drame mondain, situé dans l’Amérique contemporaine, met en scène un riche Japonais marquant au fer rouge une jeune femme qui se refuse à lui. L’œuvre suscite immédiatement un énorme engouement de la part du public comme de la critique, notamment grâce à la performance exceptionnelle de l’acteur Sessue Hayakawa. Elle déclenche, avec ses clairs-obscurs audacieux, une véritable révolution esthétique dans l’Hexagone. Pourtant, le film est progressivement mis à l’écart, pour finalement tomber dans un relatif oubli. Partant de cet étonnant constat, Laurent Véray se livre dans cet ouvrage à une interprétation de l’extraordinaire réception de Forfaiture en France. Il s’appuie sur l’analyse du film, du discours critique et des multiples œuvres qu’il a inspirées (en particulier le remake de Marcel L’Herbier en 1937), afin de comprendre comment ce film a conditionné, à sa façon, l’avenir du cinéma français.
