Le lien, c\u2019est que Sitting Bull reste indiff\u00e9rent \u00e0 cette gloire factice, que son silence est, en derni\u00e8re analyse, plus \u00e9loquent que le \u00ab cirque \u00bb bruyant et clinquant de Buffalo Bill.\r\nPour Altman, le vrai Buffalo Bill est loin de sa l\u00e9gende : effroyable cabot vaniteux et ivrogne, il utilise des prisonniers de l\u2019arm\u00e9e achet\u00e9s pour agr\u00e9menter le spectacle, il est incapable de r\u00e9sister \u00e0 Sitting Bull qui s\u00e8me la panique et le ridiculise. Altman a une mani\u00e8re bien personnelle de reconsid\u00e9rer le genre et ses mythes : \u00e0 l\u2019arriv\u00e9e c\u2019est un film subversif et radical au r\u00e9cit d\u00e9construit et au pur d\u00e9cor donn\u00e9 comme tel. Une fois encore, l\u2019Am\u00e9rique prend un coup : pays d\u2019illusions et de mensonges, qui m\u00e9tamorphose toute v\u00e9rit\u00e9 en show et en fric. Ce r\u00e9quisitoire pro-Indien re\u00e7ut l\u2019Ours d\u2019Or \u00e0 Berlin, mais fut un \u00e9chec aux Etats-Unis.","film_synopsis_short":"\u00abH\u00e9ros\u00bb fabriqu\u00e9 par l\u2019\u00e9crivain Ned Buntline, Buffalo Bill est entour\u00e9 de parasites et prisonnier d\u2019une l\u00e9gende qu\u2019il \u00abrejoue\u00bb inlassablement pour les spectateurs de son cirque.
