En Concert (Le film) Polygram Video, 082998-3 1990 Hi-Fi Stereo VHS (PAL)

un film de Laurent Boutonnat
90 minutes

This is a VHS PAL tape, available at least in Finland and probably many other
European countries. Interspersed with the concert footage, which was probably
shot sometime in 1989, are enigmatic outdoor scenes, some of which involve a
construction in the middle of a field, which is blown up at one point. On
this tape Mylene amply demonstrates her singing and dancing skills as well as
her penchant for drama and somewhat Gothic trappings, and it contains must-see
performances of "Maman a Tort," "Deshabillez-Moi" and "Ainsi Soit Je...,"
among others.

Mylene Farmer "The Videos" Laser Disc insert sheet translation

"M. Farmer, a fairy, decorated by blood and violence"

Current dominated main trends in Paris are, World music, "Yussou", "Sarif",
"Mori Cante", they are all African artists. French artists are beaten by them.
But France can't be beaten so easily. Even though France is not so big as
America or Japan in size-wise, France has various size of music companies
dealing with kinds of area from major to indies. In these circumstances, pure
French music "Chanson" has introduced 2 big stars , "Revival of Edith Piaf"
Patricia Kaas and "Fairy coming from Northern area" Mylene Farmer. Both
artists made their debut in mid 80's. Now they are both young big stars in
France.

These two artists have totally different characteristics. Kaas insists on her
voice power and talent straightly not much by paying attention to background
sound and text contents. For example her promotional video was made just
because everybody else made those. These video doesn't go beyond common sense.
But in contrast, Farmer's one attract fans by its daring, fresh clip. How
daring ? Please closely look this video. I can't remind any similar type of
video so far. This video seems to request us to have some preparedness.

Secondary, Farmer's song is not like classic vocal song which persuade
audiences by singer's original voice sound and/or unique way of singing.
Instead, by killing her individuality and by weakening female smell, she is
creating sort of musical instrumental song. That is why her song is sometimes
mis-understood like child song. But this not true. She is not like a "Lolita"
singer which was popular in the past.

In mid 80's, during record recession, French music industries were compelled
to introduce "Rolicon" singers, such as "Elsa", "Vannessa Paradis", and
"Corinne Tel". In early 50's, Film companies have made use of this way when
introducing "Bridget Bardot" and "Mirene Domonjo". Anyway like this, for
example, "Paradis" made her debut in film. At movie called <<Noce Blanche>>
(fake marriage) in '89, he played a role like "Bardot".

Farmer seems to be a "Lolita" singer, in a sense of her childish face, skinny
body, diminishing voice .... etc. But she is actually firm artist not childish
singer. I happen to know this evidence when listening her second album <Ainsi
Soit-Je> which was actually debut album in Japan. In this album, she was
singing old 60's chanson (Dezhabilez More). The texts in this song is that
"Please take my clothes off !, But not so fast, Gradually, Take your time, Put
fire on me, Come !, Come!....." In the end, her voice was getting more harsh
then finally she shout "Dezhabilez More!!" This was given up voice to useless
man. In the past parents were listening eroticism music after children went to
bed. But Farmer(singer) and Boutonnat(arranger) changed this to humor
interesting music. Without her sharp sensitivity and wisdom, this technique
can not be occurred.

Farmer is known as non-mass Media oriented person. So it is very seldom to
accept interviews. That is why her private life is not revealed to the public.
But I collected a couple information about her biography. She was born in
Montreal, Canada when her father was working in Canada about 20+ years ago.
Soon after born, her family went back to France. She was grown up in the
French suburbs. She started to take a lesson of play soon after she graduate
school at 17 years old. But she was not satisfied by play class itself. At
that time, she met with Laurent Boutonnat who was dreaming about creation of
high level musical visual art. Farmer and Boutonnat hit it off. After this,
Boutonnat became a indispensable partner of Farmer as composer, and also
keyboard player. First single album <Maman a tort> (Crazy Mama) was released
in '84. This album was so well accepted as a new talent. Second single album
<Do est tous des imbeciles> (always foolish) was also succeeded. In '85, more
than 200,000 first album <Cendres de Lune> (Moon's ash) were sold. Since then,
the video clip produced by Boutonnat and Farmer was getting more popular.
Farmer became known rapidly from this point. More than 1 million of second
album <Ainsi Soit-Je> ,which was released in '88, was sold. This album became
a "Diamond Disc". In France, relatively small record market, this record was
surprising number. Probably less than once in 10 years history. She was also
selected as a youngest wonderful female singer in '88. In '89, more than
75,000 audiences went to Farmer's concert tour in Paris (only).

Almost all people who saw her clip was extremely impressed about its fictional
drama. First piece <Sans Contrefacon> will bring viewer to the n-th
dimensional space where is much different from ordinary world. Desolated scene
with "Sepia- Tone", Men wearing strange makeup, they look like maybe Gypsy or
traveling actors . Anyway they are not like same people as we are. Marionette
who was almost dying met them and came back to life. And was grown to a lady
who knew loves. But this process does not give us bright image, instead, gives
us some sort of paganism. ??????????? This story was painted by middle ages'
gothic roman. Song <Sans Logique> is further more paganism and has a black
attraction. Snake creeping on the leaves, Christian doll thrown away, Swearing
man & woman, ... these introductions will imagine us un-ordinary anxiety.
Heroin stabbed a Gypsy accidentally during playing with him. Exotic girl's
sudden flash of a evil spirit. This clip should be viewed keeping following
text in your mind. "No Reason / I am away from myself / Even be a evil of
spirit / or even be an angel / ..... I may tear your eyes with a knife" This
text is really poisonous just reverse of actual light rhythm sound we hear.
Hidden poison veiled by lovely outlook distinguish Farmer's song from
"Rolicon" singer who may not have intelligences.

Over 17 minute' song <Douces> is really a film movie. Of course a great number
of extra-actors, loud fighting scene, a lot of money devoted to this film ,
... are wonderful. In addition to this, soldier and prostitute's sexual scene,
and strong fighting scene between spy and Farmer are most impressive. Overall,
blood scene, sadism, and violence. Farmer and Boutonnat combination's work is
far beyond music promotion video and became a Hollywood spectacle.

Next piece <Ainsi Soit...> is totally different from former pieces. Farmer's
hyper-sex scene is expressed. Mono-color screen's transparency and romantic
chanson melody are beautiful.

Last 2 pieces from Live concert. Neither of these do not expose Farmer's real
figure. In a piece <Allan>, projected flame of cemetery is veiling her song by
anti-realism. Her concert is not expressing her voice like other singer does.
Clip's image is expanded in a fantasy. Last one <Plus Grandir> shows
spectacular fire works' stage setting. Dancing in this scene is Farmer's
original one. You may see similarity with Michael Jackson or Janet. But look
at her and dancers costume. Only Black & White like nun or dormitory's
uniform. Like this, she is always veil or rejecting real body. Outlook is a
exact young idol. But she is playing singer in a fantasy world far beyond
commercialism. This is a Farmer !
