Histoire de Marie et Julien, Jacques Rivette

tendo em conta algumas opiniões sobre este filme, parece que entrei em Jacques Rivette pela porta das traseiras, ou seja, este é considerado um filme menos bom de Rivette. depois de ver as imagens quase encantatórias de uma história que foge de quem a vê, as personagens oníricas, o espaço cronometrado que se funde com a noção de tempo, a luz - depois de tudo, a exigência de uma lógica narrativa banal, como aquela a que nos habituam as séries, os filmes de categoria décima terceira, as linhas básicas de histórias sem assunto, parece tão inútil e sem propósito como pedir o mesmo de Inland Empire. ainda hoje pensava que o cinema substituiu tão bem o trompe l'oeil do espectáculo total barroco, esta Histoire relembra isso mesmo. dentro do ecrã o mundo é outro, é aquilo que se quiser, a liberdade é total, a lógica não tem de ser a do quotidiano.

há muita coisa escrita sobre este filme e sobre o realizador já octogenário. continuarei a ler e a ver. Emmanuelle Béart perfeita. e um bom site, aqui.

"None of my films were built according to the same rules of the game, even if I'd resorted several times to a large degree of improvisation, where the actors in part had to invent what they were doing, what they were saying, and sometimes contributing all the way up to the story of the movie. Sometimes this got very risky, but each time in a different way. I've often taken the risk of keeping my mouth shut on my films, but never the same way twice. But in any case, I think that cinema is always collective, even in Bresson." (J. Rivette, daqui)

"First, you have no script at the outset. You know the story, but you don't know how it's going to end. He has a strange method in that he works with the all of the actors individually. While no one has the script, he's writing it while the shooting is going on. You're finally ushered into a room to get your lines--you know day by day or sometimes the day before." (E. Béart, daqui)

Our day will come
And we'll have everything.
We'll share the joy
Falling in love can bring.

No one can tell me
That I'm too young to know
Cause I love you so
And you love me, love me.

Our day will come
If we just wait a while.
No tears for us
Think love and wear a smile.

And our dreams are meant to be
Because we'll always stay
In love this way
Our day will come.

Our day will come
If we just wait a while.
And no tears for us
Think love and wear a smile.

And our dreams are meant to be
Because we'll always stay
In love this way.
Our day, our day, oh daaaaay, will come.
