When I fist saw a promo for Boardwalk Empire on Foxtel cable TV, I knew I had to await the arrival of the DVD on Amazon,as I didn't have the movie channel designated to showing it, in my package. It was obvious this would be something special. The total "look" of the series, the clean cut clear camera shots,the wonderful detailed backdrops, the lighting,and superb costuming are all the ingredients that made the BBC peerless with their period dramas. HBO series' are proving to be every bit as alluring,and entertaining. The Sopranos was testament to that.
Now Director Martin Scorcese - the man who made so many unforgettable movies with DeNiro in the 70's, and many others after that - is back doing what he knows best, a study of American life,this time in the magical prohibition era.
Steve Buscemi dominates Boardwalk Empire in Series 1, portraying the lead character Enoch "Nucky" Thompson who runs Atlantic city with a firm hand.
Nucky is part gangster,part politician who overseers speakeasies, gambling,men's clubs and prostitution. He also takes care of the the battlers upon whose vote at election time he calls in to support the candidates of his choosing. Nothing happens without him knowing about it, and he is backed up by an odd collection of men. His own brother,Elias (Eli) - played by Shea Wigham - is a surly character who has a high position in the police department,and keeps his brother informed with what is going on within the department - giving Nucky an inside edge on his competitors.
Unfortunately, Eli is suffering from the chronic disease of jealousy, and this eats away at him, especially when he has to rely on Nucky to get him reelected as Eli doesn't have the leadership qualities,character,and charisma of his brother. This is the wound that festers throughout series 1 and will no doubt be dealt with at some level in Series 2.
There are some outstanding performances in Boardwalk Empire that deserve being noted. Michael Pitt (always with the same hair cut regardless of the role he is playing) is Jimmy Darmody, a dangerous character who can change from being gentle,kind,vulnerable, to a vicious cruel mobster in the blink of eye. He has returned from WW1 an emotionally broken man, and his behaviour becomes more erratic as the story progresses.
Michael Shannon plays Agent Nelson Van Alden,a taxation officer who crosses the line by thinking the wrath of God should be brought down on the heads of these people involved in speakeasies,flop houses,and prostitution. He believes he has been designated by God to see they are all punished. Despite being pulled into line more than once by his superiors,Van Alden is obsessed with the evil he sees and becomes fixated on Mrs Schroeder, a widow with two small children,who is befriended by Nucky Thompson and later becomes his mistress.
Kelly Macdonald,a Glaswegian born actor, gives an excellent performance as Mrs Schroeder. Gretchen Mol shines as Gillian Darmody - Jimmy's mother and a woman who has been around enough powerful men in her life to know how they think.
And finally, Paz de la Huerta who is outstanding as Lucy Danziger,a prostitute who loves the good life, which her man Nucky Thompson can easily provide. Her confusion at being replaced by Mrs Schroeder was superbly enacted by de la Huerta, as she tries to regain her former standing.
Gangsters from Chicago and New York are eyeing off Atlantic city as being the next place for them to expand their own business interests. The young, fearless newcomers with names such as Capone,Luciano and Rothstein realise that Nucky runs Atlantic city and he is too smart for them to topple - yet. The next series promises some interesting confrontations. I look forward to it.

5.0 out of 5 stars ONE OF THE GREAT ONES
Reviewed in the United States on June 14, 2016

When BE first appeared in the trade papers I remember people questioning whether Steve Buscemi could carry an entire series as did the late, great James Gandolfini. I think he has proven beyond a doubt that he is one INCREDIBLE actor. I ordered this Season because I somehow misplaced (lent?) it to someone and so had to replace it. I have seen the entire 5 seasons and each one was a winner: great characters, great performances, incredible sets and camera work, tremendous writing, brilliant directing. Some of the actors took a little taking used to, especially Vincent Piazza as Lucky Luciano, Steven Graham as Al Capone and the actor portraying Bugsy Seigel (sorry buddy,, your name momentarily escapes me). A NY native (via Brooklyn) I found Piazza's "Newyorkese" a bit too exaggerated with it's sibilant "s" but over time grew to rather enjoy his increasingly nuanced performance; I've heard Piazza in other films and with the exception my earlier criticism, thought the manner in which he modulated his voice quite commendable. I was ambivalent about Steven Graham's performance of Al Capone which was quite over-the-top; granted Capone was addicted to cocaine, was suffering from what would eventually become tertiary syphilis (while being treated in a way today which would have been deemed malpractice and was the actual cause of his death) but I doubt he was that much of a clown and that off-the-wall to have survived as long as he did as Public Enemy #1. You don't rise to the top of that heap by being a dolt.Ruthless, vicious, Yes. Out of control, irrational, no. He stayed on top because his men feared him and they would not have feared someone they felt was crazy, outlandishly narcissistic as he is portrayed in most of the episodes. Along with their fear there was also a certain amount of respect for is position. these men don't want a "cowboy" running things I pretty much found Graham's Al Capone to be the same performance he gave as Baby Face Nelson in "Public Enemies"" and yet, as the series went on, his family scenes especially with his deaf son, and the one when he tells Jimmy that his son can't hear him when he plays the mandolin and sings to him, having need to touch his throat but never hearing the sounds were quite touching. I found his final scenes provided a balance to his earlier ones when resigned to his fate, he "plays the role" for his public while realizing it's only his farewell moment of "Glory" and his slight nod to the undercover cop who brought him down an admission of respect and defeat. Nice touch.
I also doubt that Bugsy Seigel would have ever survived as long as he did if he were ever the eternal juvenile; they simply weren't tolerated by those who controlled organized crime in the day. I also doubt he had that whiny voice. He was called Bugsy because he was psychopathic with a hair-trigger temper, a lot like Abe Reles, so I found his characterization unbelievable however that is a question of interpretation and doesn't mean the man is a poor actor as much as it was the way the role was conceived by others.
As for the rest of the cast, just as in "the Wire", "The Sopranos" and "Godfather's 1,2" and "Goodfellas" what makes these series and films so great aside from what I mentioned above are the other supporting actors and brilliant character actors and this entire production from Series 1-5 had an abundance of these: Kenneth Williams, Kelly MacDonald, Michael Pitt, Gretchen Moll, the various children...all too many to mention but each one perfect in their roles. Boardwalk Empire? ONE OF THE GREAT ONES.

5.0 out of 5 stars Capolavoro.

Boardwalk Empire è una serie che adoro e che, non ero riuscito a seguire regolarmente in TV, come quasi sempre mi capita. L'ho voluta fortemente per la presenza, in più da protagonista, dell'attore Steve Buscemi, che già avevo ammirato nella serie I Soprano. Poi perché sapevo che è prodotta da Martin Scorsese, quindi garanzia di assoluta qualità. Infatti è una ricostruzione perfetta degli anni '20, respiri proprio quegl'anni, sei completamente trasportato in piena epoca del Proibizionismo. Un capolavoro assoluto.
Peccato che non ci sia un cofanetto unico con la serie completa. Infatti ho dovuto comporre l'intera serie, comprando uno ad uno i cofanetti delle singole stagioni. E mi è costato molto di più. Ma ne è valsa la pena. Arrivati tutti nei tempi stabiliti, come sempre e in ottimo imballaggio.

Fabulous in so many ways. Lots of sex and violence as a back drop to the complexity that is the United States at an intriguing moment in its history. So many good ideas (like democracy, even prohibition but not of tobacco) subject to greed, corruption and a willingness to look away if personal advantage is at stake. The acting is astonishing, especially by Steve Buscemi, but many many others. The creation of Atlantic City in the early 1920s is a tour de force. It's a gangster series but the gangsters are oh so young (well some of them are). It is also a story of the immigrant experience and the significance of race (and the horrors of racism) and the appearance of Michael Kenneth Williams (who played my favourite character in The Wire) is wonderful. The features are well worth looking at.

Test effectué sur vidéoprojecteur JVC DLA X3 3D Blanc, écran lumene 2.70 m diagonale, ensemble 5.1 Bowers & Wilking, double subwoofer Velodine CHT -10 Q, platine Blue Ray 3D Pioneer BDP - LX54, ampli Yamaha RX - V1067.

1) Le coffret blue ray :

Digipack et couverture cartonnée des plus classiques. La silhouette du personnage principal, Nucky Thompson, sur fond de lueurs des lampions et des flonflons d'Atlantic City, résume la tonalité de la série : Ombres et Lumières. Exubérance festive et solitude morbide.

La compression numérique est un modèle du genre et ne déroge pas à la tradition d'excellence d'HBO. Image somptueuse, restitution parfaite des ambiances les plus diverses : quais ensoleillée, pénombres des hangars clandestins, lumière poussiéreuse des chapelles, tristesse des quartiers déshérités.

La bande son tient du prodige. L'orchestre de Jazz joue dans la pièce. Les fumées d'opium émanent de l'écran. Les balles sifflent à vos oreilles et les verres de Bourbon tintent sous votre nez

2) La série :

Une nouvelle fois, HBO s'empare d'un pan d'Histoire des Etats Unis pour en tirer la quintessence, et dévoiler toujours plus avant la noirceur de l'âme humaine, tout autant que le courage des humbles.

Sous la parrainage de Scorcese, "Boardwalk Empire" fait l'apologie artistique de la prohibition(le Jazz), tout en dressant un réquisitoire implacable de ses aspects politiques (leçons de toute évidence valable pour le présent).

Au travers du destin ré-inventé du trésorier d'Atlantic City, antihéros aussi pathétique qu'implacable, c'est un portrait au vitriol de la classe politique américaine qui est dressé : affichant des idéaux puritains, pour mieux flatter les instincts consuméristes et masquer un affairisme effréné.

Comme à son habitude, HBO soigne autant la forme que le fond.

Le générique est un chef d'oeuvre de concision : dans une ambiance orageuse, les bouteilles d'alcool charriées par l'océan s'écrasent au pied du personnage principal. L'accompagnement rock (Straight up and down) fait le lien entre les "années folles" et le présent.

La bande son compile des titres d'époque. La musique noire issue du Ragtime y croise le musical anglo saxon pour donner naissance au Jazz... réinterpété et remixé par des artistes contemporains, chaque titre sonne comme un coup de poing. Le résultat est épatant, brillant. Justifiant largement l'acquisition de la bande originale en parallèle de la série  Boardwalk Empire 1: Music From Original Soundtrack  Mention spéciale à Stephen di Rosa dans le rôle du chansonnier Eddie Cantor, clown aussi lunaire que sarcastique.

La distribution est éblouissante de justesse, à commencer par Steve Buscemi qui trouve là son meilleur rôle. Arsouille retorse, maître en manipulation, utilisant la verve comme d'autres la mitraillette à barillet. Kelly Mac Donald en veuve martyre, dépourvue du moindre sex appeal, s'avère une femme de fer qui, à force de sincérité et d'exigence morale, percera la carapace du bougre. Malédiction ou rédemption : seule la suite nous le dira.

On suit avec passion l’ascension du personnage, naviguant dans les eaux troubles de la pègre : Al Capone n'est encore qu'un homme de main, Lucky Luciano un play boy moins inconsistant qu'il n'y parait. Michael Sthulbarg, interprète un Arnold Rosthein, empereur du crime, aussi onctueux que vicieux. Un pur délice de composition : du grand Art.

A l'opposé, le jeu marmoréen et l'expression granitique, de Michael Shannon, dans le rôle de l'agent spécial du FBI Van Halden, résument bien l'ambiguité initiale de cette agence : inflexible et bigote sur la forme, traversée des pires travers sur le fond (violence, racisme, concupiscence). Plus désireuse de percer les secrets d'alcôves, que de réduire l'emprise du crime. A vouloir faire l'ange, on fait la Bête.

Les femmes ne sont pas en reste. Paz de La Huerta, créature sculpturale, actrice à "fleur de peau", entretient un rapport troublant à la nudité tant corporelle que psychologique. Gretchen Moll, en meneuse de revue, maitresse de mauvais garçons, impose un charme vénéneux, lourd de menaces.

La toile de fond des années de Prohibition est restituée avec un luxe de moyens techniques et de mise en scène : guerre des gangs à l'ombre des grattes ciels de Chicago, distilleries clandestines, orgies (crûment filmées) pour compromettre les puissants, fusillades sanglantes. Les vertigineux mouvements de caméra, les scènes de foules, les perspectives sur la ville et sur l'Epoque sont dignes des meilleures productions et posent un nouveau jalon du film noir, tant sur le plan visuel que narratif.

En dépit de ce tableau des sept péchés capitaux, comment de pas envier les convives du Babett's Club ? Comment ne pas traverser l'écran pour fêter au son d'une marche funèbre, la promulgation des lois de prohibition et le début des années folles, un verre de champagne à la main ?

Un thriller de l'eau la plus noire, la plus amère. Une romance, improbable et vraie. Une poignée de destins douloureux et solitaires, sous les dorures trompeuses du Crime organisé.

N'attendez plus, après "Il était une fois en Amérique"  Il était une fois en Amérique - Edition collector [Blu-ray ], les incorruptibles  Les Incorruptibles [Blu-ray ], la trilogie du Parrain  Le Parrain - Le Coffret [Blu-ray ], venez vous joindre la ronde infernale que forment Eros et Thanatos à l'ombre des filles faciles et des assassins en costumes trois pièces...

Comme le disait George Clemenceau "Les Etats Unis sont le seul pays à être passé de la sauvagerie à la décadence, sans connaitre l'étape de la civilisation".

"Boardwalk Empire" en apporte magistralement la preuve. Champagne !

Reviewed in Germany on September 10, 2012

Grandios. Das ist das erste Wort was mir nach Ablauf der letzten Folge einfällt. Ich mag diese Zeit, dass Setting, die Mafia, Intrigen und alles was dazugehört.

Und ich bin auf meine Kosten gekommen. Wer Action und Ballerei sucht, ist hier falsch. Es läuft viel über toll geschriebene Dialoge, Gestik umd Mimik. Und genau das macht für mich diese Serie aus. Gepaart mit toller Besetzung. Ich habe hier irgendwo einen Kommentar eines Sopranos-Fans gelesen, der der Meinung sei der Charakter Enoch "Nucky" Thompson sei falsch besetzt, unter anderem weil der echte Nucky ja viel dicker war. Aus diesem Grund sei wohl James Gandolfini die viel bessere Besetzung gewesen. In meinen Augen totaler Quatsch. Ich liebe Tony, das hier keine Missverständnisse aufkommen, aber Steve Buscemi ist die perfekte Besetzung. Dieses Gesten und Mimikspiel hätte Gandolfini nicht hinbekommen, dass beherrscht Buscemi einfach besser.

Aber wie gesagt, auch die anderen Rollen sind großartig besetzt, bis zur kleinsten Rolle. Ich habe jeder Person ihre Rolle absolut abgekauft. Es wird natürlich in dieser Serie nicht nur gesprochen, Gewalt gehört in die Zeit der Prohibition natürlich genauso. Mir kommt es entgegen das nicht permanent rumgeballert wird, aber wenn Leute erstickt, erschossen, im Meer versengt werden oder sonst wie über den Jordan gehen, fügt sich nahtlos in das Geschehen der Serie ein.

Des Weiteren habe ich gelesen, diese Serie soll es an einer gewissen Grundspannung fehlen (wohlgemerkt derjenige der dies schrieb hat die Serie nichtmal bis zum Schluss geguckt) kann ich ebenfalls nicht zustimmen. Es gibt viele viele Szenen in denen man schon erahnt das gleich was passiert. Das ist jetzt natürlich nicht sonderlich schwer zu bewerkstelligen, was mir aber daran gefiel ist, dass nicht immer das offensichtliche, was man erwartet auch passiert. Das macht für mich eine gute Serie aus. Es gibt auch einige Momente wo schon ein wenig aufmerksam erfordert ist, deshalb sollte man die Serie wirklich gründlich gucken. Mir fällt dazu spontan die Szene ein nach der Magerite kurz nach dem Gespräch mit dem Blechmann in den Spiegel schaut, Leute die die Serie kennen wissen sicherlich was ich meine.

Was mir außerdem gefällt, weil es irgendwie passt, es gibt eigentlich keine von Grund auf Guten, aber auch keine Bösen, jeder ist auf seine Art und Weise Gut, auch wenn die betreffende Person das vielleicht nur selbst so sieht. Viele Charaktere wandeln sich, aber auch nachvollziehbar.

Die Kulissen, auch wenn viel am Computer gemacht wurde, sind einfach genial, sehr detailiert, man fühlt sich richtig in diese Zeit versetzt, dass Einige kritisieren das viel aus dem Computer stammt, ist Blödsinn, mir ist das egal. Denn in welchem Film oder Serie ist das in der heutigen Zeit bitte nicht mehr so? Mir ist das Ergebnis wichtig und das stimmt hier. Dazu kommen noch die tollen Klamotten, die Musik, die Gestaltung der Innenräume und Gassen, Wälder, es stimmt einfach alles.

Auch Bild und Ton der BD sind absolut klasse, gestochen scharfes Bild, tolle Tonqualität. Die Verpackung ist ein normaler Schuber, recht stabil und schön gestaltet.

Als meckern auf hohem Niveau würde ich die Syncro von Tommy (Jimmys Sohn) bezeichnen die einfach gruselig ist und der vielleicht ein oder andere Twist in der Story wäre noch schön gewesen. Dazu kommt noch, dass der gute Nucky teilweise mir das Gefühl vermittelt hat, nicht so mächtig zu sein wie es den Anschein haben soll. Nichts soll ohne ihn gehen in Atlantic City, er weiß über alles bescheid, kann jedes Problem lösen, hat Kontakte vom Bürgermeister bis zur Hure, da hat mir manchmal etwas der Wumms gefehlt, dass Gefühl das er wirklich der Mächtige im Hintergrund ist.

Die 2te Staffel wird auf jeden Fall sofort gekauft, bei dem Gespräch am Ende der ersten Staffel muss man einfach weitergucken und sich überraschen lassen was die einzelnen so alles aushecken.
