By Sofia MISELEM Mexico (AFP) - "Mon idée était de faire une oeuvre pour provoquer Elon Musk", affirme l'artiste mexicain Chavis Marmol au sujet de sa création d'un genre particulier: une voiture électrique Tesla à 40.000 dollars écrasée par une énorme tête d'inspiration pré-hispanique exposée en plein centre de Mexico. Sculpteur de 42 ans, Mármol (marbre en espagnol) n'a lui-même jamais possédé de voiture et se déplace en vélo. Le sculpteur a déchargé avec une grue l'effigie de neuf tonnes sur une Tesla 3 de couleur bleue, une des modèles fabriqués par l'entreprise du multimillionnaire améric...

Paris (AFP) - Oliver Stone a terminé le tournage d'un documentaire sur le président brésilien Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva, son incarcération entre 2018 et 2019 et son retour au pouvoir, a déclaré le cinéaste dans un entretien avec l'AFP.

Paris (AFP) - Maverick American director Oliver Stone told AFP that the legal proceedings against Donald Trump are "all political" and that the ex-president was a victim of "lawfare" -- when prosecutions are used to silence political figures. "Almost 100 indictments against the guy... it's ridiculous," said Stone. "This is all political. They want to put him behind bars, but they're not going to be able to," he added. However, the 77-year-old director of "JFK", "Platoon" and "Snowden" said that he would not vote for Trump in this November's US presidential election. "Everyone's corrupt. Russi...

Los Angeles (AFP) - Roman Polanski est visé par un procès au civil qui sera organisé l'année prochaine en Californie et portera sur des accusations de viol sur mineur en 1973 visant le cinéaste franco-polonais, a annoncé mardi l'avocate de la plaignante. Mais M. Polanski a fui en 1977 la justice américaine après une condamnation dans une autre affaire où il était inculpé pour viol sur mineur, et est depuis parvenu à échapper aux demandes d'extradition. La présence à l'audience du réalisateur, accusé de viols et agressions sexuelles par une dizaine de femmes au total, est donc très hypothétique...
