Product Description

Amazon.ca


Building on her performance as a take-no-prisoners teenager in Winter's Bone, Jennifer Lawrence portrays heroine Katniss Everdeen in Gary Ross's action-oriented adaptation of author-screenwriter Suzanne Collins's young adult bestseller. Set in a dystopian future in which the income gap is greater than ever, 24 underprivileged youth fight to the death every year in a televised spectacle designed to entertain the rich and give the poor enough hope to quell any further unrest--but not too much, warns Panem president Snow (Donald Sutherland), because that would be "dangerous." Hailing from the same mining town, 16-year-olds Katniss and Peeta (Josh Hutcherson, The Kids Are All Right) represent District 12 with the help of escort Effie (an unrecognizable Elizabeth Banks) and mentor Haymitch (a scene-stealing Woody Harrelson). At first they're adversaries, but a wary partnership eventually develops, though the rules stipulate that only one contestant can win. For those who haven't read the book, the conclusion is likely to come as a surprise. Before it arrives, Ross (Pleasantville) depicts a society in which the Haves appear to have stepped out of a Dr. Seuss book and the Have-Nots look like refugees from the WPA photographs of Walker Evans. It's an odd mix, made odder still by frenetic fight scenes where it's hard to tell who's doing what to whom. Fortunately, Lawrence and Hutcherson prove a sympathetic match in this crazy, mixed-up combination of Survivor, Lost, and the collected works of George Orwell. --Kathleen C. Fennessy

Synopsis

Every year in the ruins of what was once North America, the Capitol of the nation of Panem forces each of its twelve districts to send a teenage boy and girl to compete in the Hunger Games. A twisted punishment for a past uprising and an ongoing government intimidation tactic, the Hunger Games are a nationally televised event in which “Tributes” must fight with one another until one survivor remains. Sixteen-year-old Katniss Everdeen volunteers in her younger sister’s place to enter the games, and is forced to rely upon her sharp instincts as well as the mentorship of drunken former victor Haymitch Abernathy when she’s pitted against highly-trained Tributes who have prepared for these Games their entire lives. If she’s ever to return home to District 12, Katniss must make impossible choices in the arena that weigh survival against humanity and life against love.

Chaque année, sur les ruines de ce qui était autrefois l'Amérique du Nord, le Capitole, l'impitoyable capitale de la nation de Panem, oblige chacun de ses douze districts à envoyer un garçon et une fille - les "tributs" - concourir aux Hunger Games. À la fois sanction envers la population pour avoir tenté de se rebeller et stratégie d'intimidation de la part du gouvernement, les Hunger Games sont un événement télévisé national au cours duquel les tributs doivent s'affronter jusqu'à la mort. Le dernier survivant est déclaré vainqueur. La jeune Katniss se retrouve face à des adversaires surentraînés qui se sont préparés aux jeux toute leur vie. Elle a pour seuls atouts son instinct et un mentor, Haymitch Abernathy, un ancien vainqueur des Hunger Games mais qui a sombré dans l'alcool. Pour espérer pouvoir revenir un jour chez elle, Katniss va devoir, une fois dans l'arène, faire des choix impossibles entre la survie et son humanité, entre la vie et l'amour...
