12,247 images speak of her.
22,843...
72,000... 127,000...
444,000 males speak of her. About 2,600 meters.
127,000 will be faithful.
Ouch!
No, don't move. I'm also stopping.
It's anti-atomic umbrella.
Yes, but I use it as a reflector of consciousness.
Who are you?
Where are you going?
Where do you come from?
She comes from underneath the sea.
She was a third world delegate for the new Citroën factories
in the North Atlantic.
She was fired for giving pocket tape recorders with printed circuits
to the employees.
So that they could record
all of the abuse from the French bosses.
Her name is Patricia.
She's the daughter of Lumumba and the Cultural Revolution.
Said he.
- Emile Rousseau. - Said she.
We know, in fact, that the opposition to the Left
obtained from its accomplices in the government
that schooling in France be obligatory until the age of 55.
This morning, 25,000 urban youths, including Emile,
happily presented themselves to the opening of classes
at the College of Sciences in the city of lights.
But there was a sign that said classes were full
and the doors were guarded
by the 18.4th Armored Regiment of Parachutists.
Since Emile and his schoolmates wanted to enter by force,
the dean of the college called the Minister of Civil War
for him to order the parachutists to fire on them.
The works of mathematician Laurent Schwartz,
which had been presented
to the Russell Tribunal two months before,
served to calculate the angle of firing,
since it was the same used by the B-52s
when their white phosphorus bombs destroyed the silk factories of Hanoi.
That's how Emile was shot in the heart.
Luckily, he carried under his sweater
the latest issue of Les cahiers du cinéma.
His injury was minor.
Why did you do that?
Question of method. And yourself?
Me...
Me.
Me. Learn.
Make them learn.
And it's up to me to turn the weapon against the enemy
with which they attack our language.
Yes, learn. All we wanted was to learn.
To have the three To's.
- Which are? - To read. To write. To count.
In the end, it's not a very funny problem.
Nope.
- We have to find a solution. - We're not going to stay here.
And naturally, as always, we're all alone.
Obviously, since we're in the Middle Ages.
France is still a democracy,
and the Party isn't ready to take over.
After all, maybe we're not as alone as we think.
After all, yes. We're on TV, right?
Yeah, so?
Television is in all households. Why couldn't we be as well?
A home, isn't that an optical thing?
And in South America, there are the homes of the revolution.
So we should go into people's homes and ask, so that we can learn more.
First, to learn more. Then we'll see.
Yes.
First, to learn. That's not bad.
Okay.
To learn.
A society, in church.
Rousseau.
Until the end of the earth.
And I searched.
At its simplest expression.
So, his call...
And finally, we... People have decided to...
We can't really understand.
Of course, they're speaking out of order.
We're all German Jews! We're all...!
We can't really understand.
Of course, they're speaking out of order.
- And for the rest... - Solida...
We can't really understand.
And for the first time...
Of course, they're speaking out of order.
I think that...
- I had gone. - To the ends.
- Of the earth. - Searching for.
What Rousseau calls.
Progress almost unaffected.
- Its. - Beginnings.
- And I. - Looked for a society.
- Reduced to its simplest. - Expression.
The society of the Afranics was at the point
where all I could find were men.
- The Afra-what? - Afranics.
A-F-R-A-N-I-C-S.
N-A-F-A-R-I-C-S.
F-R-A-N-Ç-A-I-S, French.
Yes, it's the French of the year 2000, the Afranics.
After the mutations of the computers.
Yes.
In the universities, we can meet...
This disorder is really getting annoying.
No, listen, we study links, relations, differences.
Organized like this, we can put into function
the factories and universities
for the profit of the national collectivity of all.
This disorder is really getting annoying.
No, listen, we study links, relations, differences.
The armed forces of the state can do nothing against them.
Well, then, off to work.
Might as well study that.
We'll start over from scratch.
No, before starting over, we must go.
- We'll go back to zero. - And once we get there?
Well, we'll look around, see if there are any traces.
Deep down, we're going to search for what's left.
It's true, for social studies,
it's not about composing man, but to dissolve him.
- Is that it? - Yes, of course.
Of course. To find the solution, whether chemical or political,
one must dissolve.
Dissolve hydrogen, dissolve parliament.
Here, we're going to dissolve image and sound.
- C-I? - T.
- E. - N.
- E. - L.
- M-A. - E.
V-I-S-I-O-N.
T-E-L-E-V-I-S-I-O-N.

Images, do we choose them? Or do we encounter them by chance?
By chance, since we don't know exactly what they are.
Any image.
That's not very scientific.
I don't agree. Chance is structured just like unconsciousness.
The mentality of education is... As well in...
Our unions have... We're made to...
- Student! Unity! - Well, everything went...
- The protest that... - The President...
Equality!
So, in an image, we must discover a method.
Yes, we must find the discourse of its method
and ours as well.
But then we must not forget to self-criticize ourselves afterwards.
And if we find this method, it will give us laws of fabrication.
At the very least, reference points.
Therefore, maybe one day, the fabrication of images
will be based off known things, as opposed to unknowns,
as they are currently created in Hollywood, in Moscow,
in the RTF studios in Paris, at the BBC in London,
at the R.A.I. in Italy, at the Shochiku in Tokyo, etc.
The first image.
You're only speaking of images. You've forgotten sound.
No, I haven't forgotten.
It's the same thing.
But we can isolate them.
In isolated, there is "isle".
We are also isolated.
An isle.
- Robinson. - Yes, Robinson.
We must absolutely not imitate him.
- He was a fascist. - Robinson?
Yes.
In evidence, he immediately made Friday his slave.
What we need to discover are images and sounds
that are free.
For example, say "oh".
I told him say "say", and now, Stalin.
I told him "say", and now, Stalin.
Theoretically, these two sounds have nothing to do with one another.
No.
But they could eventually have a connection.
Yes, so what we need to know is what separates them.
To know...
Mark off in time and space, this silent word that separates them.
You, my comrade.
You that I ignored, behind the turbulences.
You who are arrested, frightened, asphyxiated. Come.
Talk to us.
And when we'll know,
when we'll use those two sounds together,
their connection will inevitably be correct.
To know all this, we must investigate its base.
- It will be hands-on work. Theoretical as well.
Theoretical.
In every image, we must know who speaks.
I told Patricia, "Yes, but without an investigation, no right to speak."
- Well... - We must find the truth in the facts.
What are the facts exactly?
- It's. - It's.
- The things. - The things.
- And. - And.
- The phenomenons. - The phenomenons.
- As they. - As they.
- Exist. - Exist.
- Objectively. - Objectively.
So, that's what we said.
The truth, it's the internal place of these things and phenomenons,
meaning the laws that govern them.
To research is to study.
We have to study.
I told him, otherwise there's no possibility of television.
Not a true television, in any case.
And not a commercial-filled television like in France.
I told her, no cinema either. Not a true cinema, in any case.
Therefore, no true images, nor any true sounds,
unless we study them first.
What will we do the first year?
We'll pick up images, we'll record sounds, like we said.
It will create unorderly experiences.
Actions, hypothesis.
Yes, and the second year, we'll criticize it all.
We'll decompose, we'll reduce, we'll substitute, and we'll recompose.
Okay.
And afterwards, the third year,
we'll create a few samples of sounds and images.
My practice will not be blind,
since you will have enlightened it with your revolutionary theory.
My theory will not be without object
since it will be linked to your revolutionary practice.
Look, the day begins.
- I'm leaving. - Me too.
- I'll see you tomorrow night, then. - Okay, same place, same time.
- Bye. - See you tomorrow. Bye.
- Hello. - You're late!
It's two in the morning! What the hell were you doing?
In the West, the massacre of the red earth,
forgotten under the tons of steel and iron,
under the appearance of possession, ancient and crisped,
with a shown sex and without a sex.
In the East, the accumulation of history and the black earth,
violence that springs when wanted, which surges from the marsh of time,
and little by little, covers the adversary
from whom hope has been taken.
In the West, the masses. In the East, the people.
In the West, the images. In the East, the scene.
In the West, signs without roots, accumulating, signs without any hold
on the deep axe of the exterior.
Signs that reflect to the tiny interior of skulls,
at the nervous torsion, deeply divided by common ownership,
at the knocked out hallucination, only to trace.
In the East, the invisible force of the complete mutation
of the square writing that takes to the surest ground,
the communal inscription made of skin and blood,
the marred thought that knew how to think,
each of the appearances that we can see realized,
is the product of the appearance that it needs to produce itself.
In the East, during the night, the past is suddenly erased,
the simple indestructible force of the line.
It's precisely like this that the moon must have been created and fueled.
Understand how that which slides throughout the years and centuries
became for you, to the point where water has become superficial.
How it's now about a revolution, not by pairing substances or units,
but by continents and integral texts, but by continents and integral texts.
You no longer recognize the world of your language.
You now walk far from these long and discreet signs.
You are located at the crossing of unfastened forces.
Obligated to see them sink in their divided and differentiated multitudes.
You can no longer forget what can be called
the definitive passage of lines through steel lungs.
Infinity is a gigantic animal, although it has no specific features
or any senses that can report back from the exterior into itself.
With this perspective, the circular motion around a center disappears,
as well as the movement of corral rocks attacking birds,
transforming them in their glides to the depths into a closed book,
although the stories continue.
A double trajectory, risen from a force without guarantees,
and the question that is then asked is farther than your memory,
asks how to note at the same time the form and the sense,
by which link, tension and opposition can be translated into a sentence.
There's nothing in the world that develops in a totally equal manner.
This time, it turns over itself, embeds, spreads and multiplies.
Designating the moment, we work over here.
There, this is what really works
where the Reds still fight against you,
fight and will fight again and again, without respite.
Meanwhile, the story continues.
- Come on, the day begins. - What are you doing today?
With Michel, we're going to break the slumber of Laida Damo.
While they sleep, we beat them up and steal their dreams,
and in turn, sell them to France Dimanche and Marie-Claire.
And then, we give the money away.
- Okay, good-bye, comrade! - See you tomorrow night!
This isn't serious. It's 3:00 a.m.
Where were you?
let me tell you
at the risk
of seeming
ridiculous
that the true revolutionary
true
is
guided by great
feelings of love.
The images are going by too quickly. We have to react.
You're too romantic. A cultural revolution doesn't happen in one day.
We said we'd criticize all this next year.
It is intolerable that the guns command the Party.
Okay.
We're in a bit of an intellectual war right now, no?
Yes, I said to Emile.
I told Patricia, let's try to make an immediate criticism anyway,
without waiting for next year, where we'll criticize ourselves anyhow.
Yes, it's true, it's wrong of me to forget, I said,
that the students of Paris, in the beginning of May 1968,
proved, by their bloody sacrifice, the truth of the Cuban theories,
faced with cultural immobility, and often reactionary worker unions...
Judged to be undesirable in France!

It's possible to say that eroticism
is the recognition of life until death.

In May 1968, I voted for the socialism on the barricades,
by participating in the general strike.
The history of man is that of his repression.
The return of that which had been repressed
constitutes the underground and taboo history of civilization.
The exploration of this history
not only hides the secret of the individual,
but also that of civilization.
There is no neutral science.
Scientists, there is no neutral science.

- The day begins, I have to hurry. - To do what?
Get photos taken in my underwear for L'Humanité Dimanche.
Why not ask an agency?
No, at L'Humanité, in the feminine magazines of the C.G.T.
they show the same lingerie photos than in the Figaro.
I find that disgusting.
Revolutionary women's underwear
should be photographed differently than in the reactionary press.
- Bye. - See you tomorrow night!
The majority of students have currently adopted the slogan:
The Sorbonne belongs the students!
We do not agree with this slogan.
We would prefer by far: The Sorbonne is for workers!
Second problem...
Here, what can we say? What should we say?
Here's what I propose: First, theory, second, practice and tactic, okay?
Number one, theory, strategy, therefore create discourse.
Number two, and so, form thus the grammar.
And so, the theory is born from the practice which conditions it.
And so, the form creates the content.
The S.W.A.T. team is in the Sorbonne.
The students are outside.
The S.W.A.T. team stays at the Sorbonne,
the students block the entry, and it could last a long time.
Here's our new slogan:
The Sorbonne belongs to the S.W.A.T. team!
My comrades could believe that it's not...
... a sort of bond with the workers, the slums.
And so, we propose
that if the S.W.A.T. team wants the Sorbonne, it can keep it.
We can turn the Sorbonne into a garrison house for the S.W.A.T. team.
... a Saint-Ouen.
She said to me,
if we went live with a random Afronic via satellite?
"Soviet or American?" I asked.
She said, "No. We'll use the Third World's satellite,
if there's censorship, it will be revolutionary."

For the Marxist-Leninist students,
the main task is to teach with the working comrades.
As a Marxist-Leninist,
it is not about giving weapons to the working comrades,
but to teach them how to forge some and to teach each other.
An erroneous style of work is the expression of an erroneous policy.
To implement a bourgeois style of work to the study of Mao's words
is to implement a bourgeois policy.
Let's turn our attention to the clinic.
And let's first take into consideration the pleasure of...
To work and study, as a Marxist-Leninist,
the words of Mao Zedong, we need to reform our study.
Only the Little Red Book can lead us
to the true Marxist-Leninist methods to study
the words of President Mao.

Analysis of sound through image.

The Anglo-Canadian police gouged out the eyes of a cameraman

to beat up the reporters who were recording the sighs of the workers
facing their hellish work pace.

The conflicts of a child, I said, are not conflicts with reality,
but originate from the subject's inability to identify himself.
So, what is being questioned is the image of oneself.
Yes.
I said, the image of oneself. And her?
The image of nylon.
Me, the image without the dot on their "i".
Me, reflex image.
Me, virtual image. Or aerial.
Me, the image from a book.
Me, magnetic image.
Me, image that gives away the key to freedom and cinematography.
I added that we had to be careful not to fall into the ideology of the real.
Trap that isn't always avoided

Johnson to the Vietnamese, Franco to the workers.
- It would immediately be less clear. - My blue sweater.

But the leaders of the Paris branch of the student union
needed an entire night's discussion to analyze a face to...
I'm 84 years old.
- In this image and sound... - I am 33 feet tall.
- You have to be able to... - My sweater is...
- Yes and no. - Yellow.
Yes, for the effort to make...
No, because within an image and sound, nothing is stable.
So, it's about grasping a movement.

And now a minute of silence in sound to the memory of the Black Panthers

And now a minute of silence in images,
in particular, for the memory of the Afro-Asians and their friends
beaten by the police of Kimole and François Mitterrand.
Who today are supposedly part of the opposition to the Left.
And, in general, a minute of silence in images,
for all the absent images, censored images, prostituted images,
machinated images, delinquent images, buggered images,
images beaten up by all the governments, televisions,
and Westernized cinemas that rhyme information and repression
with trash and culture.

in the trading of goods
Here, Patricia is reading an alphabet
that the Gaullist government distributes in elementary schools.
She notices that every word given for a letter stems from the bourgeoisie.
And that most of the genuine words, and their uses, are absent.
For example, the letter B.
There's the word "better",
and its use says that brioche is better than bread.
The proof is that de Gaulle and Pompidou
speak to the workers of 1968 like Marie-Antoinette did to those of 1789.
Yes, but then they'll say we chose this letter on purpose.
Shit, it's not true. We can take any letter.
Turn the pages at random, I say.
Letter "A".
There's the word "acquire" but not "art".
Letter "S".
There's "sensible" and "soap", but neither "sex" nor "syndicate".
Letter "P".
Neither "police" nor "psychoanalysis".
Letter "C".
Neither "culture" nor "capitalism", "class" or "combat".
Letter "R".
There's, of course, neither "revolution" nor "repression".
Letter "F".
There isn't "fascism", but there's "family" and "fries".
And for the word "famished",
the university Gaullists give this example:
I feel famished when I arrive at the dinner table.
And what about the Third World children who don't have tables?
"No, this display is too easy," I told Patricia.
Banks exist to lend money, and the dictionary to lend words.
But what cannot be loaned out is the distinction between bills
and between words.
We write words in succession, not on top of one another.
Images and sounds can be stacked on top of one another.
Yes, because an image is never an image,
but a contradiction of images.
And it's the same for a sound.
Okay.
We return to the just contradiction within the people,
reflected in their representation.
No, not representation, but presentation.
Not a show, but a struggle.
first research into sound
- He asked me. - What are you doing?
- She answered. - I'm listening.
In movies, we always see people talking, never listening.
Because it's not definable. At least not easily, like dolphins.
Patricia asked me, "Pompidou?" I said, "No, Pompidou is a shark."
The fish then, I said.
Emile said that they have a language which is strictly through sound,
but at much higher frequencies than ours.
We still can't define it in comparison to our own language.
We ask ourselves whether it's derived from Chinese or Egyptian,
rather than Latin.
"As you can see," I whispered to Emile.
"Sound is very mysterious," whispered Patricia.
Regardless, we should be able to come closer than usual.
second research on sound
After she said this, I told her,
"Do you remember on Friday, with Anne and Michel, when he said,
'Let's go act like idiots at the Pentagon?"'
And she said, "Oh, yes."
Remember, I made you notice it.
The time she took to say, "Oh, yes."
Yes. Let's attempt to reenact it.
Let's go act like idiots at the Pentagon.
Oh, yes!
That's not it.
Let's go act like idiots at the Pentagon.
- Oh, yes! - That's not it either.
No.
It's strange, the intonation Anne had when she said it,
the sound of it was very brief.
But to come close to a correct definition of it, we would need...
There was in this sound, all the latest Beatles albums,
as well as all the novels by Gide.
Thus, this simple sound is incredibly complex to transmit.
Now, it's lost.
Yeah, we should have recorded it.
No, I did not say "reproduce".
I said, "Transmit to someone, into someone, who is living."
No, you see, we're unable to say it.
Oh, yes!
No, that's not it.
- You see. - Yep.
It's maybe because voice is the best expression of freedom.
I told Emile that his great-great-grandfather
had already discovered this.
"What? Who did?" I asked Patricia.
Jean-Jacques Rousseau.
What is true of the citizen, is primarily true
of those nude beings, offered to the power of others, the newborns.
If we cannot recreate that sound,
it's because we don't quite know what it is made of.
Therefore, image merged so intimately
with the sound it represents
that it ended up usurping the lead role.
The eye must listen before looking.
The day is beginning, I have to go.
- Where are you going? - To Besançon, at the Rhodiaceta.
The buddies are on strike. They're occupying the factories.
Chris and I are going to project films for them.
The Dictator and The Lamentesse.
Bye!
Okay.
It will be day in an hour.
This really isn't serious.
- Protest. - Comrades, Cohn-Bendit...
To the protest...
Not welcome...
Still, we don't know what it is.
Yes, now the unit of time is defined by a natural physical phenomenon.
Since 1960, the meter is a product of the wavelength,
due to the radiation emitted by krypton 86.
What about the second?
Well, it's the transition between two super thin levels
of the fundamental state of the tome of caesium 133
unperturbed by exterior fields.
It's insufficient as a definition, no?
In any case, it allows rockets to be sent to the moon. That's not too bad.
- Yes, but listen... - What?
Listen.
And because the ideas I received from the senses
were much more lively,
more expressive, and even, in their own way, more distinct
than any of the ideas that I could simulate myself through meditation,
or that I could find imprinted in my memory,
it seemed that they could not have been processed from my soul.
Yeah, so?
The exact time of this excerpt, of the 6th Meditation of Descartes,
not the time that Descartes took to write it,
and even that,
but even more difficult,
the length of this speech...
It's the time it took you to say it.
No, that's my own time, through it.
But it's time, not yours, nor Descartes', but its own.
Yes.
- It's not clear. - No, it's not clear.
Yes, suddenly, I'm thinking...
About what?
Yes, there's something despicable about time.
Yes.
Eternity and infamy were born together.
This proves that we need to start from scratch.
Here, more evidence.
Read.
School will transform societal relationships
by organizing the long term and abstract education
of children who by their familial origins are destined
to occupy society's highest places in management and administration.
Then, through a shorter and simpler education,
destined for the children of workers and peasants
whose entrance in the professional world
seems to require a limited education.
Well read, Emile.
That's how the governmental statements should be read
on French television.
Michel Debré: Which youth do you need?
Yes.
To contest the current educational system and to elaborate solutions...
Yes.
We must understand that the evolution of the university
of the past two years and those to come,
is dictated by an objective.
Yes.
Its integration in the monopolistic capitalist system of the state
puts itself exclusively at its service.
We must also understand the phenomenon that Lenin picked up
that the monopolistic capitalism of the state
is the most complete preparation material of socialism.
The anteroom of socialism, the phase in history
that no other intermediary phase can separate from socialism.
The step of assimilating these truths that Comrade Mao Zedong underlined.
All that is reactionary is similar
in that if we don't try to hit it, it's impossible to make it fall.
It's like when we sweep,
where the broom can't reach, the dust doesn't leave by itself.
Worker's discourse.
This signifies that it's useless to cry out like the revisionists do
and request a democratic reform of the universities,
because either this reform will make the universities
return to a liberal bourgeois framework,
which is impossible,
considering the irreversible development of capitalism
in our country,
or it aims to obtain from the capitalists second-rate arrangements
and in better conditions, even obtain integration
in the educational system of a capitalist monopolistic state.
This system can only be contested globally
and can only be replaced by a socialist educational system.
The battle will certainly be long, hard and...
Worker's discourse.
The socialist revolution will not be won in a day.
It will necessarily require ideological preparations.
Yes, worker's discourse!
Yes, intellectual discourse.
How many discourse levels did we say we have?
Not bad, here already, she's thinking.
- She is thought about. - And she a-thinks.
And she is unthought-of of.

novel film
What is it?
It's a novel.
What is it called?
One Hour of Literary Work by Isidore Solaire.
Strange, is that what is called a new novel?
I don't know. No matter, I know where it came from and how it works.
"Where?" I asked.
It's that guy who works at the university publications of France,
next to the cash register.
He's the one who wraps the books
and gives them to those who buys them.
Since he's too poor to buy the books,
in the few seconds from the moment
when he receives the book from the cashier,
and he gives it back to the customer,
he gives it a quick glance
and learns by heart the little bit of text he's able to read.
He's been there for 30 years.
He started like that and learned the alphabet and multiplication tables.
Today, he reads Faulkner and Chomsky.
And the text you just read is the result of one hour of his work.
Exactly.
It resembles the fold-ins of Ferlinghetti and Burroughs.
Maybe, in any case, it's a rare example of text-book.
Of text, yes, but more precisely,
the practical piece of the French literary production
in which the worker...
...science of language should find natural links
between speech and writing.
She couldn't have acted alone, of course.
She needed an accomplice.
Now, let's examine the situation.
One is a long narrow cardigan with rounded pockets
that one wears with a divided skirt made of red flannel,
and a printed cotton shirt.
There are deplorable abuses. We wrongly steal and kill.
All the mafia heads are intoxicated by their power.
However, near the end of Louis XIV's century,
two men pierced the crowd of mediocre genius.
I sometimes err in my operations. The squirrel has a long tail.
Papa reads the newspaper every day.
You will not be surprised to hear me say that the question
to know whether the world can be represented through the theater
is a social question.
international film
Here, the image is missing.
By request of the Figaro and Paris Jour,
French Customs destroyed the negatives of the film
about Springer's ultra-reactionary newspapers,
that Rudi Dutschke had shot with his comrades
and that they were going to project to their French friends,
revolutionary communist youths.
It is not enough to say...

Considering that the government prevents students

Attracted by the violence of power so new,
a power created and directly controlled by the workers and people,
where each has his own past, said the leaders of the P.C.F.
Demand bourgeois parliamentary traditions, if you really want it...
... the following conditions, they propose
to open the meeting to all of the revolutionary militants...
What the workers must learn from this lesson is at heart very simple.
We think that the role of a revolutionary avant-garde
that it should not be a sect,
but to completely integrate itself in the mass movement,
if this movement has the same objectives
of the French movement of today.
Workers are strong when united
through organizations that directly represent them,
which are under their direct control.
They are strong when united with the other workers,
in organizations that represent their common interests,
under common direct control.
They are strong in these popular organizations
take to arms to sweep away the vermin.
Parliament will not exist with the politicians of the bourgeoisie.
It will not exist with collaborators...
And so, we have to love each other more intimately. We have to...
On the condition that the revisionist leaders
forget to tell the workers
the originality of the French political life.
The bourgeois state needs to consider itself...
In any case, take the initiative,
contact the temporary coordination of the committees of action.

It demands clarification.

if they don't want us to do so, we'll chase them away! It's...

Mozart experimental film 2
Psychological Film
When we were.
When we were together.
And played out for us the sweet game of being two.
It sometimes happened for me to sleep at your shoulder.
That you beat me at the race, before me, in the dark night.
And the sudden silence would fill me with fear.
The anguish of being alone like a trial of death.
And not just the fear of dying, I've always been resigned to that,
but of this expanse in front of me, on all sides, like a forgotten path.
Terrified, to find myself in front of a mirror without any images.
To feel the shadow of an absent being
detached from me.
Engaged in a realm of dreams, where I have no place,
where I cannot follow him.
And even if tomorrow I learn,
for him, followed... I won't believe any of it.
And anyway, I would only have been attached to his steps for an instant.
In this manner, I spent half of our life,
in the streets, the metro, in this despair that
if it sank, in the end, in my sleep, in my dreams,
was only comparable to prison, a punished life,
a sort of madness where I could even forget
those that I had lost.
I have never, in my life, awoken without wailing.
A profound wail.
Mute.
Of all the justice of the night.
Sometimes the feeling in me was so strong,
that it remained with eyes open, for a long time,
and you would ask me, what's wrong?
And I couldn't tell you.
Believing it was the fog of bad dreams,
that was still obfuscating my gaze,
and still struggling in the tangled memories of the shadows...
Or else, in the consciousness of which the tale explains nothing.
I would divert with calculated remarks, the resumed conversation,
with yesterday's events or the occupations of the day ahead.
And so, keep to myself, this almost present.
This rupture of the depths, in the fashion of a pain that we hide.
In my youth, I sometimes spoke of my dreams.
It's been a long time since I've stopped doing so.
This fear sometimes obscures existence.
More and more, gaining on awakened life,
of my silence, even.
It would thrust upon me an awful doubt about all things.
And foremost, about us,
what made us be,
to say us.
To us, signifying you and me.
To us, different from this plural we, which exists only in my presence
and remains when its components diminish, augment, vary.
One of these "we's" which are but extensions of me.
This reality that you could, like me, destroy,
better than me.
I say all this without example, without order,
in an abstract form,
because depending on the discourse that I am,
try as I might to turn toward you...
My love.
I know that it's but a trick of the stranded.
I say you.
I share things between you and me,
as if it were nothing, and although I doubt this sometimes,
it's through that, that I remember.
That I still have my reason.

The mouth and the chin being the bottom of the bottle.

In short, against any other face of the repression.

Why not?
They already programmed another show for this sound stage.

It's too bad, half the shots are missing.
Which ones?
For example, you know that shot I liked, when I sang:
There is no situation We can't address
with a Marxist or Freudian analysis.
Yes, but Bertolucci will shoot that one in Rome.
Yeah? And there's also the shot where I asked you:
- "What is an honorable family?" - Oh, right, the one where I answer:
"A family in which everything is taboo."
Yes.
Yes, but Straub will shoot that one in Germany.
Yeah, and there's...
There's the one where we illustrated the pillaging of the Third World.
Yeah, well, Glauber Rocha will shoot that one in Brazil.
There's also the shot...
Other filmmakers will shoot them!

Well, they... They do it for the people.

It's not bad, either.

In other words, this film is a failure.

The film didn't want to,
cannot want to explain cinema, nor constitute its object.
But, even more modestly, give an efficient method of achieving it.
This film is not the film that needs to be made.
But how, if we have a film to make,
we necessarily have to go through the well-known paths of films.
