Description

Dans la station balnéaire de Brighton, indifférents au tumulte du monde en cet été 1968, trois personnages sont réunis pour les besoins d’un film dans l’esprit des « Swingin’ Sixties ». Tous ont une double vie. Talbot Kydd, producteur chevronné, affronte les embûches du tournage (réécritures du scénario, erreurs de casting, défection de l’actrice principale) et se demande comment faire son coming out. Anny Viklund, jeune beauté américaine à la vie amoureuse chaotique voit réapparaître son ex-mari, terroriste en cavale, et suscite l’intérêt de la CIA. Quant à l’épouse délaissée du metteur en scène, Elfrida Wing, autrefois saluée comme « la nouvelle Virginia Woolf » avec son premier roman, elle combat sa panne d’écrivain à grand renfort de gin tonic. À travers ces trois êtres désemparés et attachants, Boyd nous entraîne dans les coulisses de la duplicité et de la simulation, là où se trame le scénario de nos vies secrètes au détriment des apparences. Il nous livre un récit tendre et jubilatoire, qui restitue avec brio l’esprit d’une époque. Traduit de l’anglais par Isabelle Perrin
