" On devrait pouvoir faire un certain film.
Un film d'insistances,
de retours en arriere, de redeparts.
Et puis l'abandonner.
Et filmer aussi cet abandon.
Mais on ne le fera pas, on le sait deja.
Jamais on ne le fera.
(...) Pourquoi ne pas faire un film de ce qui est inconnu, inconnu encore?"
Ecrire, Marguerite Duras.

"One should be able to make a certain film.
A film of insistence, of flashbacks, new beginnings.
And then abandon it.
And also film that abandonment.
But no one will do it, we already know this.
No one will ever do it.(...)
Why not make a film about what is unknown, still unknown?"
Writing, Marguerite Duras
Translation Mark Polizzotti
