Steve Mcqueen

Star de grands classiques comme La grande évasion, Bullitt, Papillon et L'affaire Thomas Crown, Steve McQueen n'aurait jamais dû faire de cinéma. Fils d'une prostituée occasionnelle et d'un homme de passage, il devient rapidement un jeune délinquant, sauvage et rétif à toute autorité. Cette biographie raconte son parcours et sa vie. …

Smart, sophisticated, and timelessly stylish, Steve McQueen (titled Two Wheels Good in the U.S. after threats of a lawsuit from the actor's estate) is a minor classic, a shimmering jazz-pop masterpiece sparked by Paddy McAloon's witty and inventive songwriting. McAloon is a wickedly cavalier composer, his songs exploring human weaknesses like regret ("Bonny"), lust ("Appetite"), and infidelity ("Horsin' Around") with cynical insight and sarcastic flair; he's also remarkably adaptable, easily switching gears from the faux country of "Faron Young" to the stately pop grace of "Moving the River."
