Mancini's story gets harder and harder to digest, as it spirals towards it's violent and sordid climax. We see cracks beginning to appear in that seemingly impenetrable calm he maintains in the interrogation room, as he relates his difficult winter, his internment in a psychiatric hospital, his discovery of a collection of paintings that are the perfect representation of human suffering, and a cataclysmic encounter in the forest.Polzas story has many unusual twists, absurdities and horrors to go through before we get any closer to understanding the nature of the Blast, and Larcenets pacing and visual depictions of the journey make that a compellingly dark and intriguing story.The Digital Fix.… (more)

Petit bijour de noirceur signé Larcenet, on a du mal à concevoir plus déprimant. Blast est une peinture au plus juste de la misère sociale et affective, retranscrite à travers le récit de vie d’une obèse au bout du rouleau. Le héros, si l’on peut dire, est en garde à vue et fait le récit romancé d’une vie de marginal qui a bifurqué après la mort de son père. On devine qu’un fait dramatique l’a conduit à se faire interroger, mais c’est d’abord le récit d’une vie d’ivresse et de liberté, entrecoupée d’expériences mystiques, que celui-ci va vouloir faire aux deux inspecteurs. Une de ces lectures qui vous change votre perception du monde et de l’autre.

Des dessins brillants par le dégoût qu’ils parviennent à charrier. Un obèse qui se hait et se goinfre, dont la vie n’est qu’une route vers l’abandon ou la mort. Entre moiteur, autodestruction et lâcher-prise, un dépressif face à lui-même voit probablement l’univers dans ces tons-là. A la fois crade et majestueux.

Strong points
1. Puissant, un coup de poing
2. Une écriture brute et poétique
3. Dessins magnifiques, un appel de la crasse vers l’au-delà

Weak points
1. Le “Blast” encore trop mystérieux
2. Le lien du héros à l’animal, tout aussi mystérieux
3. Il faut vraiment un troisième point? ( )
