In CHANTAL AKERMAN, FROM HERE, the renowned Belgian filmmaker sits down for an hour-long conversation about her entire body of work.
Throughout, the camera holds steady from outside an open door. The long, unbroken shot, and the frame-within-a-frame pay homage to Akerman's own unmistakable style ('I need a corridor. I need doors. Otherwise, I can't work', she says). But by shooting her in profile, the filmmakers provide a contrast to the signature frontality of her compositions (one of the many subjects covered in the wide-ranging interview) - an acknowledgement of this portrait's contingency also underlined by the title.
Akerman describes her first experiences with avant-garde film in New York, and, in particular, the lessons she took from the work of Michael Snow. She answers questions about her approach to fiction, documentary, and literary adaptation, covering everything from the early short LA CHAMBRE (1972) to the recent feature LA-BAS (2006). She explains her preference for small budgets and small crews, and the paramount importance of instinct and improvisation in her directorial process.
She is nothing if not forthcoming, candidly assessing her successes and failures, including an aborted attempt at writing at Hollywood screenplay. An image emerges of a filmmaker as assured and idiosyncratic as the work suggests. We see that behind Akerman's cinematic innovations there is not only a remarkable intellectual clarity, but an ethical commitment to making films in which the viewer can 'feel the time passing-by in your own body', because, she says, 'that is the only thing you have: time.'
'Fascinating...Elementary, decisive, up to date. Her every word, her choice of adjectives, the tempo of poses, her French accent in English, all count.' -Jean-Pierre Rehm, FID Marseille

It’s, it looks small uh.
00:04:50.000 --> 00:04:54.999
I need a cushion. You can put back

00:04:55.000 --> 00:04:59.999
Think, I need a…
00:05:00.000 --> 00:05:04.999
She wants a cushion. Cushion.
00:05:05.000 --> 00:05:09.999
Yeah, because the table is so high. Sure.
I don’t know it’s, I don’t care but…
00:05:10.000 --> 00:05:14.999
Yeah.
00:05:15.000 --> 00:05:19.999
How about this one? (inaudible). Really.
00:05:20.000 --> 00:05:24.999
Um … Is it comfortable? Great.
Better. Better now.
00:05:25.000 --> 00:05:29.999
Yeah, yeah. Let me start, okay.
00:05:30.000 --> 00:05:34.999
(inaudible) no.
00:05:35.000 --> 00:05:43.000
[sil.]
00:05:45.000 --> 00:05:49.999
(inaudible), okay.
00:05:50.000 --> 00:05:54.999
[sil.]
00:05:55.000 --> 00:05:59.999
They look at (inaudible).
00:06:00.000 --> 00:06:04.999
Yes. Oh, my god. I want to start
00:06:05.000 --> 00:06:09.999
with but your question is,
what’s cinema to you?
00:06:10.000 --> 00:06:14.999
What is cinema to you? A
simple definition on this.
00:06:15.000 --> 00:06:19.999
Too complicate question.
00:06:20.000 --> 00:06:24.999
I… I… can’t say, I don’t know,
I don’t know just how to say,
00:06:25.000 --> 00:06:29.999
it’s too complicated. Cinema… cinema…
00:06:30.000 --> 00:06:34.999
cinema… cinema… like a rose is
a rose… is a rose… is a rose…
00:06:35.000 --> 00:06:39.999
I don’t know. Of course,
00:06:40.000 --> 00:06:44.999
it is something related
00:06:45.000 --> 00:06:49.999
to each time and space
00:06:50.000 --> 00:06:54.999
and I don’t know. And it’s too
much, too big of a question.
00:06:55.000 --> 00:06:59.999
And why did you choose Cinema
00:07:00.000 --> 00:07:04.999
in the first place to express yourself?
00:07:05.000 --> 00:07:09.999
Because I was crazy,
00:07:10.000 --> 00:07:14.999
uh… it’s, um… because it’s very hard job.
00:07:15.000 --> 00:07:19.999
[sil.]
00:07:20.000 --> 00:07:24.999
Because you know I went to,
I went to see Gaddafi,
00:07:25.000 --> 00:07:29.999
my fun enough visit and decided to make…
00:07:30.000 --> 00:07:34.999
that I wanted to make, to make it
too I was 15 but I had no idea
00:07:35.000 --> 00:07:39.999
about what, I still had no, I have no idea
00:07:40.000 --> 00:07:44.999
about what, what cinema
00:07:45.000 --> 00:07:49.999
and why I wanted to do it,
but I suppose that uh…
00:07:50.000 --> 00:07:54.999
in 65 when I was 15,
00:07:55.000 --> 00:07:59.999
uh… because before I wanted to act
but suddenly when I saw the Gaddaffi
00:08:00.000 --> 00:08:04.999
it seems a thing exciting to do.
00:08:05.000 --> 00:08:09.999
It was not a world of
images like it is now,
00:08:10.000 --> 00:08:14.999
yet, it become, became slowly.
00:08:15.000 --> 00:08:19.999
What it is now that, you know, you cannot
move without having image all over,
00:08:20.000 --> 00:08:24.999
it was at that time
00:08:25.000 --> 00:08:29.999
more precious, more… more special.
00:08:30.000 --> 00:08:34.999
[sil.]
00:08:35.000 --> 00:08:39.999
But you know it was an instinct,
it was a feeling I didn’t …
00:08:40.000 --> 00:08:44.999
there was not one reason,
it was just uh… a desire.
00:08:45.000 --> 00:08:49.999
A strong desire to start.
00:08:50.000 --> 00:08:54.999
[sil.]
00:08:55.000 --> 00:08:59.999
And you know at that time I didn’t
know uh… that it was difficult,
00:09:00.000 --> 00:09:04.999
I didn’t know it was to do or I
didn’t know it was expensive,
00:09:05.000 --> 00:09:09.999
nothing I thought it was very possible
00:09:10.000 --> 00:09:14.999
and I didn’t see any problem.
Now I see the problems.
00:09:15.000 --> 00:09:19.999
In the beginning of your work,
00:09:20.000 --> 00:09:24.999
your presumption was with another
cinema or experimental cinema,
00:09:25.000 --> 00:09:29.999
like, (inaudible). Right.
And… and your inspiration was
00:09:30.000 --> 00:09:34.999
(inaudible) and Michael Snow
00:09:35.000 --> 00:09:39.999
on that moment when you saw those
pictures and made short films,
00:09:40.000 --> 00:09:44.999
do you feel that you encounter
about your art is a beginning
00:09:45.000 --> 00:09:49.999
after with art and your intense
experience with cinema
00:09:50.000 --> 00:09:54.999
and you saw these experimental works
and do you feel like you will conquer
00:09:55.000 --> 00:09:59.999
best to your art is like inspiration
00:10:00.000 --> 00:10:04.999
by I think I will do that,
I will do… No… no… no…
00:10:05.000 --> 00:10:09.999
no you know, what happened when I saw uh…
00:10:10.000 --> 00:10:14.999
especially the Michael Snow
film, it’s, I realized
00:10:15.000 --> 00:10:19.999
that especially when
00:10:20.000 --> 00:10:24.999
I love Centrale Région as you know,
00:10:25.000 --> 00:10:29.999
but I realized in a small film he did,
00:10:30.000 --> 00:10:34.999
and not so beautiful but very interesting.
00:10:35.000 --> 00:10:39.999
Uh… what the film did to me, which
is and it’s a very simple film
00:10:40.000 --> 00:10:44.999
called Forth and Back or Back and Forth I
don’t remember. Anyway, the camera is here
00:10:45.000 --> 00:10:49.999
and it’s a new classroom.
And it’s going like that
00:10:50.000 --> 00:10:54.999
and like that for 20 minutes. And you are,
00:10:55.000 --> 00:10:59.999
as of you, as a spectator very, very tensed
00:11:00.000 --> 00:11:04.999
to see if this time he will go
a little bit further, okay.
00:11:05.000 --> 00:11:09.999
So it’s very minimal, very simple.
00:11:10.000 --> 00:11:14.999
And I realized that with just
that, he can make you as tense
00:11:15.000 --> 00:11:19.999
as in a (inaudible) film,
which is not really nothing.
00:11:20.000 --> 00:11:24.999
And that in a way
00:11:25.000 --> 00:11:29.999
changed my way of thinking
00:11:30.000 --> 00:11:34.999
about how to use times, you
know, it was, it was not slow,
00:11:35.000 --> 00:11:39.999
but that you can make, that
you can… build attention,
00:11:40.000 --> 00:11:44.999
which is story or not a story or whatever,
00:11:45.000 --> 00:11:49.999
in a totally different way and that
the viewer will be very implicate,
00:11:50.000 --> 00:11:54.999
you know, total, you know
totally different sense.
00:11:55.000 --> 00:11:59.999
So it was not to… what I did
with sort of not, there it was …
00:12:00.000 --> 00:12:04.999
because I did the film in
a hotel and I also showed
00:12:05.000 --> 00:12:09.999
that Michael Snow in a way if there was
no class, he didn’t care. It was really
00:12:10.000 --> 00:12:14.999
just on the experiment. When I did Hotel
(inaudible) it was not just for the experiment.
00:12:15.000 --> 00:12:19.999
It was also uh… to show hotel
00:12:20.000 --> 00:12:24.999
and uh… bring attention and
also to play with abstraction
00:12:25.000 --> 00:12:29.999
and… very complete.
00:12:30.000 --> 00:12:34.999
Like for example you have the
corridor or hallway and it’s yellow.
00:12:35.000 --> 00:12:39.999
At the end, its red. And
I stay for a while.
00:12:40.000 --> 00:12:44.999
I don’t know, a minute or 45 second.
00:12:45.000 --> 00:12:49.999
Well, you forget that it’s
a hallway after a while.
00:12:50.000 --> 00:12:54.999
And you see red and yellow, so it become
abstract. So I… I play with that but I,
00:12:55.000 --> 00:12:59.999
you also have a feeling about
a hotel with few people.
00:13:00.000 --> 00:13:04.999
So it’s working on many level.
00:13:05.000 --> 00:13:09.999
And also the tension that I bring in
00:13:10.000 --> 00:13:14.999
and the visuality and the
plasticity but, but uh…
00:13:15.000 --> 00:13:19.999
it’s very… very different
than certain (inaudible)
00:13:20.000 --> 00:13:24.999
is making his diaries forever.
It’s totally different.
00:13:25.000 --> 00:13:29.999
But it’s also very different from
Michael Snow. And (inaudible)
00:13:30.000 --> 00:13:34.999
used to have a sound track, but I lost it.
And I was telling a story so,
00:13:35.000 --> 00:13:39.999
as in a voice over.
00:13:40.000 --> 00:13:44.999
But then since I… I lost it,
because it was double bond.
00:13:45.000 --> 00:13:49.999
I like it like that too. But again,
00:13:50.000 --> 00:13:54.999
you have the feeling of women, of
a, of a young women of New York
00:13:55.000 --> 00:13:59.999
or something which doesn’t interest at all.
00:14:00.000 --> 00:14:04.999
Uh… Michael Snow, Michael
Snow, what he likes
00:14:05.000 --> 00:14:09.999
is the experiment. It’s not me.
00:14:10.000 --> 00:14:18.000
[sil.]
00:14:25.000 --> 00:14:29.999
Now let’s talk about image,
in many of your films,
00:14:30.000 --> 00:14:34.999
you use, you like to use uh…
frame on frame more vivid
00:14:35.000 --> 00:14:39.999
like a (inaudible) and
you, you restrict that
00:14:40.000 --> 00:14:44.999
and you like to put walls, doors,
windows, corridors as you said,
00:14:45.000 --> 00:14:49.999
creating symmetric shots. Yeah.
00:14:50.000 --> 00:14:54.999
And… I want you to talk about your image composition
and if there’s any influence by a painter
00:14:55.000 --> 00:14:59.999
or how you do the composition as,
00:15:00.000 --> 00:15:04.999
the image composition of your work?
00:15:05.000 --> 00:15:09.999
It’s a secret.
00:15:10.000 --> 00:15:14.999
Uh… That’s it. You know, well,
00:15:15.000 --> 00:15:19.999
you know, since I’m not
interested by (inaudible).
00:15:20.000 --> 00:15:24.999
When you are like that very fronted
00:15:25.000 --> 00:15:29.999
and very much uh… symmetrical,
you go out of naturalism.
00:15:30.000 --> 00:15:34.999
You have all idea… you have
all idea of stylization.
00:15:35.000 --> 00:15:39.999
But you know,
00:15:40.000 --> 00:15:44.999
I made, he actually did it like that.
When I did Gentleman uh…
00:15:45.000 --> 00:15:49.999
I was looking and, and the girl who was doing the framing
she said, \"Why don’t you tell me that it is symmetric
00:15:50.000 --> 00:15:54.999
and that’s a… \" I said, \" I
don’t know, I’m looking
00:15:55.000 --> 00:15:59.999
and when I feel it’s good, it’s good.\"
00:16:00.000 --> 00:16:04.999
Always did it and I try to not
do it because uh… I said oh
00:16:05.000 --> 00:16:09.999
am I going to do that all my life and
when I don’t do it, I trust myself
00:16:10.000 --> 00:16:14.999
to don’t do it sometime. Then I’m sad.
00:16:15.000 --> 00:16:19.999
If there is something which
is not… (inaudible).
00:16:20.000 --> 00:16:28.000
[sil.]
00:16:30.000 --> 00:16:34.999
Excuse me. Unfortunately,
we can’t stop here.
00:16:35.000 --> 00:16:43.000
[sil.]
00:16:45.000 --> 00:16:49.999
And, and what about your interest in…
00:16:50.000 --> 00:16:54.999
Uh…
00:16:55.000 --> 00:16:59.999
Walls, doors and the image on
frame and… It’s, it’s straight,
00:17:00.000 --> 00:17:04.999
it does, it gives a straight
view inside the framing.
00:17:05.000 --> 00:17:09.999
And also it helped me to as you all said,
00:17:10.000 --> 00:17:14.999
I always needed it and when I don’t
have it, it’s really like uh…
00:17:15.000 --> 00:17:19.999
in (inaudible), New York
he made like one corridor
00:17:20.000 --> 00:17:24.999
but almost no doors. My set designers say,
00:17:25.000 --> 00:17:29.999
\"How I’m going to… to work with that?\"
00:17:30.000 --> 00:17:34.999
It’s … I always ask, I always ask him,
00:17:35.000 --> 00:17:39.999
I need the corridors, I need, I
need those otherwise I cannot work.
00:17:40.000 --> 00:17:44.999
Its building the (inaudible).
00:17:45.000 --> 00:17:49.999
[sil.]
00:17:50.000 --> 00:17:54.999
Excuse me. Unfortunately, we can’t,
we can’t smoke here. Close the door.
00:17:55.000 --> 00:17:59.999
No, it’s not possible to, all of them,
00:18:00.000 --> 00:18:04.999
all of them are viewing. I’m sorry.
You should not.
00:18:05.000 --> 00:18:09.999
One.
00:18:10.000 --> 00:18:14.999
It’s beautiful but even in our places,
00:18:15.000 --> 00:18:19.999
we use to smoke.
00:18:20.000 --> 00:18:28.000
[sil.]
00:18:30.000 --> 00:18:34.999
Don’t worry.
00:18:35.000 --> 00:18:39.999
[sil.]
00:18:40.000 --> 00:18:44.999
You know, let’s talk about the script.
00:18:45.000 --> 00:18:49.999
Uh… The… the writer
00:18:50.000 --> 00:18:54.999
and (inaudible)said that
he sits every morning
00:18:55.000 --> 00:18:59.999
writes until the end of the day? My god.
00:19:00.000 --> 00:19:04.999
And by the end of the day, if he
gets aligned, it’s a good day
00:19:05.000 --> 00:19:09.999
and if he gets on one page, a
whole page it’s an excellent day,
00:19:10.000 --> 00:19:14.999
how is your methodology trait,
00:19:15.000 --> 00:19:19.999
you have a methodology?
00:19:20.000 --> 00:19:24.999
No. Like, I, you know,
00:19:25.000 --> 00:19:29.999
and I try and it’s coming or not coming but
00:19:30.000 --> 00:19:34.999
I don’t sit for the whole
day and it drive me crazy.
00:19:35.000 --> 00:19:39.999
And then I work in the stage and
by working if it’s, if I’m loved
00:19:40.000 --> 00:19:44.999
working is very good. I should do tell that
00:19:45.000 --> 00:19:49.999
to all those, so we’ll
have more than one line.
00:19:50.000 --> 00:19:54.999
Um… yeah. I’m not a man you know
00:19:55.000 --> 00:19:59.999
who had that medical direction. It’s
much more fluid. One day it works,
00:20:00.000 --> 00:20:04.999
the other day it doesn’t
and I walk and I know
00:20:05.000 --> 00:20:09.999
I got to pick the paper and then
my brain in a way it’s working
00:20:10.000 --> 00:20:14.999
and the next day I have,
who know it depends
00:20:15.000 --> 00:20:19.999
but I have no methodology,
but only one thing,
00:20:20.000 --> 00:20:24.999
I … when I’m writing I’m
getting very early,
00:20:25.000 --> 00:20:29.999
because you know and
nobody should talk to me.
00:20:30.000 --> 00:20:34.999
So I’m with myself.
00:20:35.000 --> 00:20:39.999
And I like to write in the weekend
because you feel everybody
00:20:40.000 --> 00:20:44.999
is yeah gone and I feel and
it’s usually good day,
00:20:45.000 --> 00:20:49.999
Saturday and Sunday are my best days.
00:20:50.000 --> 00:20:58.000
[sil.]
00:21:00.000 --> 00:21:04.999
So we’ll talk about script and
we’ll just take one script
00:21:05.000 --> 00:21:09.999
of yours like a team when
you adapted (inaudible),
00:21:10.000 --> 00:21:14.999
you want me to write some essence,
00:21:15.000 --> 00:21:19.999
essence of the characters and after
that, you do a… Listen I… I,
00:21:20.000 --> 00:21:24.999
well, for me it was the essence for me
00:21:25.000 --> 00:21:29.999
that we have many… many more
interesting things in the…
00:21:30.000 --> 00:21:34.999
in the book of course.
00:21:35.000 --> 00:21:39.999
But I chose that team of challenging,
like challenging, if that’s a little
00:21:40.000 --> 00:21:44.999
too simple to say, it’s
only challenging, but
00:21:45.000 --> 00:21:49.999
and… I took all those rest out
00:21:50.000 --> 00:21:54.999
and then uh … in a way I
think I had the raft of it,
00:21:55.000 --> 00:21:59.999
for me anyway, anyway or
probably someone else
00:22:00.000 --> 00:22:04.999
would be more interested by other seeing
it. When I read that I was very young
00:22:05.000 --> 00:22:09.999
and then I feel with it
and I was like 25, 26
00:22:10.000 --> 00:22:14.999
and I remember that there was at
that appartment and the corridor
00:22:15.000 --> 00:22:19.999
and the two characteristics
that’s the story for me.
00:22:20.000 --> 00:22:24.999
[sil.]
00:22:25.000 --> 00:22:29.999
So, when you were there,
00:22:30.000 --> 00:22:34.999
when you were taking, were
you… you take some elements
00:22:35.000 --> 00:22:39.999
that are close to you? Yes, of course.
00:22:40.000 --> 00:22:44.999
It’s always, you know,
if you choose a book uh…
00:22:45.000 --> 00:22:49.999
[sil.]
00:22:50.000 --> 00:22:54.999
That’s what you are looking for.
Was that just you?
00:22:55.000 --> 00:22:59.999
[sil.]
00:23:00.000 --> 00:23:04.999
Because when I see that
deep, I see proves in it.
00:23:05.000 --> 00:23:09.999
Yeah. And… and… and you…
00:23:10.000 --> 00:23:14.999
You know, uh… many film were done
from these beautiful writing
00:23:15.000 --> 00:23:19.999
and it is good that he’s
not with us anymore.
00:23:20.000 --> 00:23:24.999
I wonder what he would
think, but, you know,
00:23:25.000 --> 00:23:29.999
it’s a film for … it becomes something else
00:23:30.000 --> 00:23:34.999
and I don’t think it’s a good idea
to refer or time to the book.
00:23:35.000 --> 00:23:39.999
Of course,
00:23:40.000 --> 00:23:44.999
when many people said that they
have read the book many times,
00:23:45.000 --> 00:23:49.999
but it’s not so told. You know, a lot
of people who are doing like that
00:23:50.000 --> 00:23:54.999
and they have all an idea about,
00:23:55.000 --> 00:23:59.999
how the character is and
I choose a blonde guy
00:24:00.000 --> 00:24:04.999
and a blonde girl and their able,
00:24:05.000 --> 00:24:09.999
I kept in was supposed to be go
curly and black hair and of course,
00:24:10.000 --> 00:24:14.999
everybody knows his face. But I said
to myself, if I try to find that
00:24:15.000 --> 00:24:19.999
then I think to get where from it,
00:24:20.000 --> 00:24:24.999
it was better, it was like a new thing.
00:24:25.000 --> 00:24:29.999
Even though I stole a lots from him,
00:24:30.000 --> 00:24:34.999
but to keep too tight to the book,
00:24:35.000 --> 00:24:39.999
people who did it, I think
they will all on(ph).
00:24:40.000 --> 00:24:44.999
I think most of the female
who were all this, I mean,
00:24:45.000 --> 00:24:49.999
I didn’t like the female whoever
that they form opposed,
00:24:50.000 --> 00:24:54.999
they try to back everything together.
00:24:55.000 --> 00:24:59.999
So there is home for nothing.
00:25:00.000 --> 00:25:04.999
Finish with this again.
00:25:05.000 --> 00:25:09.999
[sil.]
00:25:10.000 --> 00:25:14.999
Life is a reputation of act and they basis
00:25:15.000 --> 00:25:19.999
and this is a central
team in your work. Yeah.
00:25:20.000 --> 00:25:24.999
Gentleman, besides that you
debate about relationships,
00:25:25.000 --> 00:25:29.999
love, sex, tragedy and deaf
00:25:30.000 --> 00:25:34.999
and many others essential
compositions of a human life.
00:25:35.000 --> 00:25:39.999
Why your attractions to these things
specifically? There is nothing else.
00:25:40.000 --> 00:25:44.999
What else?
00:25:45.000 --> 00:25:49.999
There is love,
00:25:50.000 --> 00:25:54.999
politics, time where … there is nothing
else to be attracted to, I think.
00:25:55.000 --> 00:25:59.999
Of course, it depends
00:26:00.000 --> 00:26:04.999
on the way you are using it
00:26:05.000 --> 00:26:09.999
and how that entice with it, because that’s
00:26:10.000 --> 00:26:14.999
every writer, every filmmaker
is dealing with that
00:26:15.000 --> 00:26:19.999
in his own way.
00:26:20.000 --> 00:26:24.999
I don’t know what to tell you,
00:26:25.000 --> 00:26:29.999
I think it’s abuse.
00:26:30.000 --> 00:26:34.999
Look, I have already put three times
00:26:35.000 --> 00:26:39.999
during that glass, that’s a big issue.
Yeah. That’s working.
00:26:40.000 --> 00:26:44.999
I can’t predict him with a cigarette,
00:26:45.000 --> 00:26:49.999
that’s collision and I’m joking.
00:26:50.000 --> 00:26:54.999
No, that’s life.
00:26:55.000 --> 00:26:59.999
Look at me,
00:27:00.000 --> 00:27:04.999
it’s awful things here, I know
it’s not me, it was them, umm…
00:27:05.000 --> 00:27:09.999
[sil.]
00:27:10.000 --> 00:27:14.999
You know, about, you define
the position of the camera
00:27:15.000 --> 00:27:19.999
and give this perspective to the viewer.
And they asked you to long try the shots
00:27:20.000 --> 00:27:24.999
on the landscape and the people face,
00:27:25.000 --> 00:27:29.999
how do you determine this positive,
the concept of your work,
00:27:30.000 --> 00:27:34.999
how to put the camera and initiate it here?
00:27:35.000 --> 00:27:39.999
You have to feel it, it’s a
question of feeling, really.
00:27:40.000 --> 00:27:44.999
I told about for example,
00:27:45.000 --> 00:27:49.999
I was with the camera
00:27:50.000 --> 00:27:54.999
and so then I saw a shot and it was…
00:27:55.000 --> 00:27:59.999
and as it, that’s height.
00:28:00.000 --> 00:28:04.999
So, feelings suddenly
you feel that what is,
00:28:05.000 --> 00:28:09.999
was maybe new ahead before on that or
there is something that you’ll looking
00:28:10.000 --> 00:28:14.999
and its height.
00:28:15.000 --> 00:28:19.999
You know, it’s… much more
simple that your question,
00:28:20.000 --> 00:28:24.999
you know, you just feel it,
00:28:25.000 --> 00:28:29.999
you feel it it’s right
00:28:30.000 --> 00:28:34.999
and you also feel it’s wrong.
00:28:35.000 --> 00:28:39.999
And it’s very instinctive
00:28:40.000 --> 00:28:44.999
and not meant,
00:28:45.000 --> 00:28:49.999
umm… and for example,
00:28:50.000 --> 00:28:54.999
when I did (inaudible)
00:28:55.000 --> 00:28:59.999
was doing some, giving some classes to the
university and I have a friend of mine
00:29:00.000 --> 00:29:04.999
who was helping me a bit
is that about putting
00:29:05.000 --> 00:29:09.999
the (inaudible) said that.
00:29:10.000 --> 00:29:14.999
And I went home and I saw some bookshelves.
00:29:15.000 --> 00:29:19.999
And I see what’s that I don’t digest,
I don’t remember having done it,
00:29:20.000 --> 00:29:24.999
he did it when I wasn’t there.
00:29:25.000 --> 00:29:29.999
And I immediately felt something was wrong,
00:29:30.000 --> 00:29:34.999
it not on for him, probably,
00:29:35.000 --> 00:29:39.999
but it was on for me. I said
I don’t look a nice meeting.
00:29:40.000 --> 00:29:44.999
And he did it behind my back.
00:29:45.000 --> 00:29:49.999
So it’s very,
00:29:50.000 --> 00:29:54.999
it’s more simple, it’s
simple and the complexity
00:29:55.000 --> 00:29:59.999
you cannot explain, because you
don’t know yourself why, you go
00:30:00.000 --> 00:30:04.999
for what you feel.
00:30:05.000 --> 00:30:09.999
[sil.]
00:30:10.000 --> 00:30:14.999
So…
00:30:15.000 --> 00:30:19.999
So, let’s talk about
00:30:20.000 --> 00:30:24.999
the viewer.
00:30:25.000 --> 00:30:29.999
Since did the whole there is
a discussion about for what
00:30:30.000 --> 00:30:34.999
and their representation and the art works.
A window as adopted the world
00:30:35.000 --> 00:30:39.999
and the existence of the viewer.
00:30:40.000 --> 00:30:44.999
When you put a woman doing the
domestic service in her house
00:30:45.000 --> 00:30:49.999
in real time that puts your cinema
00:30:50.000 --> 00:30:54.999
in a reflection of these pretends
to the viewer. The viewer sends
00:30:55.000 --> 00:30:59.999
the presents and the against… which
are thoughts about the relation
00:31:00.000 --> 00:31:04.999
between your films and your
thoughts about the viewers,
00:31:05.000 --> 00:31:09.999
when you do a film and puts
a real time, if you are
00:31:10.000 --> 00:31:14.999
to think about the viewer? I
never think about the viewer
00:31:15.000 --> 00:31:19.999
and it’s nothing real
time, it’s decomposed,
00:31:20.000 --> 00:31:24.999
but I’m the viewer, the first viewer.
00:31:25.000 --> 00:31:29.999
And then everybody would be in my situation
00:31:30.000 --> 00:31:34.999
in the theatre.
00:31:35.000 --> 00:31:39.999
And it’s face-to-face, it’s
a face-to-face situation,
00:31:40.000 --> 00:31:44.999
because it’s set, it’s not like that,
00:31:45.000 --> 00:31:49.999
it’s not like that it’s… so, the viewer
00:31:50.000 --> 00:31:54.999
have the room, I mean, to be
00:31:55.000 --> 00:31:59.999
your going away or you’re always
on the screen, it’s goes both way.
00:32:00.000 --> 00:32:04.999
But it’s equal
00:32:05.000 --> 00:32:09.999
in a way.
00:32:10.000 --> 00:32:18.000
[sil.]
00:32:20.000 --> 00:32:24.999
Uh… And it’s… okay, and also you
00:32:25.000 --> 00:32:29.999
as if you feel the time passing by,
00:32:30.000 --> 00:32:34.999
you feel the time passing
by through your own words.
00:32:35.000 --> 00:32:39.999
And most of the cinema,
00:32:40.000 --> 00:32:44.999
when people are enjoying
a film or movie to see,
00:32:45.000 --> 00:32:49.999
I didn’t see the time, the time flies.
00:32:50.000 --> 00:32:54.999
That’s is supposed to be a good movie,
but I think that when the time fly
00:32:55.000 --> 00:32:59.999
and you don’t see the time
passing by, you are hoped
00:33:00.000 --> 00:33:04.999
from no half of, your life of two hours,
00:33:05.000 --> 00:33:09.999
because all you have in life is time.
And in fact,
00:33:10.000 --> 00:33:14.999
it’s my film, you’re aware
of every second passing by
00:33:15.000 --> 00:33:19.999
through your body.
00:33:20.000 --> 00:33:24.999
So, it makes, it, you,
00:33:25.000 --> 00:33:29.999
in a way you’re facing yourself,
00:33:30.000 --> 00:33:34.999
because we try all the time and
in life to give divert yourself,
00:33:35.000 --> 00:33:39.999
to forget about the time,
because then it can make
00:33:40.000 --> 00:33:44.999
you anxious or whatever
00:33:45.000 --> 00:33:49.999
or both with that’s the only
thing you have is time.
00:33:50.000 --> 00:33:58.000
[sil.]
00:34:05.000 --> 00:34:09.999
How, talk about fiction and documentary,
00:34:10.000 --> 00:34:14.999
you need an accounts of by your work
intercalating fiction and the documentary
00:34:15.000 --> 00:34:19.999
and sometimes in your fiction you use
some elements of the documentary
00:34:20.000 --> 00:34:24.999
you know other these and histories,
I wish I wanted you to talk about
00:34:25.000 --> 00:34:29.999
this relation fiction and documentary?
00:34:30.000 --> 00:34:34.999
For me there is not uh…
00:34:35.000 --> 00:34:39.999
such of war between those two, whatever.
00:34:40.000 --> 00:34:44.999
I think in a good film,
00:34:45.000 --> 00:34:49.999
you feel the documentary also
00:34:50.000 --> 00:34:54.999
and vice versa
00:34:55.000 --> 00:34:59.999
so that’s how I see it.
00:35:00.000 --> 00:35:04.999
It’s not so different for me.
00:35:05.000 --> 00:35:09.999
It’s still in natures
00:35:10.000 --> 00:35:14.999
and time and space.
00:35:15.000 --> 00:35:19.999
[sil.]
00:35:20.000 --> 00:35:24.999
You get feed of the documentary to fiction,
00:35:25.000 --> 00:35:29.999
you take a film and specifically film
00:35:30.000 --> 00:35:34.999
like after what have you
can do it documentary
00:35:35.000 --> 00:35:39.999
and after you do fiction, you intercalate
00:35:40.000 --> 00:35:44.999
and use their position,
00:35:45.000 --> 00:35:49.999
is there a will to do fiction,
00:35:50.000 --> 00:35:54.999
different documentary, different
documentary of fiction?
00:35:55.000 --> 00:35:59.999
[sil.]
00:36:00.000 --> 00:36:04.999
After having what we saw lot of people,
00:36:05.000 --> 00:36:09.999
which is the case in the so called fiction,
00:36:10.000 --> 00:36:14.999
I like just to be with two
or three people also.
00:36:15.000 --> 00:36:19.999
I don’t like… what I don’t
like about making a movie
00:36:20.000 --> 00:36:24.999
is that you are surrounded with
a lot of people, lot of things
00:36:25.000 --> 00:36:29.999
and a lot of light and all
those thing are very boring.
00:36:30.000 --> 00:36:34.999
And… I had my uh…
00:36:35.000 --> 00:36:39.999
VP calling me last week
00:36:40.000 --> 00:36:44.999
and she said to me, \"Oh, well I’m
playing with lot of (inaudible)
00:36:45.000 --> 00:36:49.999
you know,
00:36:50.000 --> 00:36:54.999
big thing, big where they will
00:36:55.000 --> 00:36:59.999
and I said to her oh, it’s funny,
00:37:00.000 --> 00:37:04.999
I feel it’s like a kid playing
00:37:05.000 --> 00:37:09.999
with some leg or something.
00:37:10.000 --> 00:37:14.999
It doesn’t interest me, you know,
00:37:15.000 --> 00:37:19.999
the least we have and the least
material, the best I feel.
00:37:20.000 --> 00:37:24.999
But, you know, most of the people
they like and they feel important,
00:37:25.000 --> 00:37:29.999
or like child,
00:37:30.000 --> 00:37:34.999
it’s very childish,
00:37:35.000 --> 00:37:39.999
you know.
00:37:40.000 --> 00:37:44.999
Also to get more,
00:37:45.000 --> 00:37:49.999
you get more concentrate,
00:37:50.000 --> 00:37:54.999
I don’t know it’s uh… much more pleasure.
00:37:55.000 --> 00:37:59.999
To work with us more…
00:38:00.000 --> 00:38:04.999
But I try to but at the end,
your hall ways was a bit cool,
00:38:05.000 --> 00:38:09.999
except when you know, when you
do those so called documentary.
00:38:10.000 --> 00:38:14.999
[sil.]
00:38:15.000 --> 00:38:19.999
And what I don’t like also about
00:38:20.000 --> 00:38:24.999
shooting a fiction is like, okay,
00:38:25.000 --> 00:38:29.999
today you do that, planned,
00:38:30.000 --> 00:38:34.999
now you have to do the planned.
00:38:35.000 --> 00:38:39.999
And maybe you don’t feel
like doing that today
00:38:40.000 --> 00:38:44.999
or whatever and which everything
so organized and you were,
00:38:45.000 --> 00:38:49.999
it’s like a war. I’ll be crazy.
00:38:50.000 --> 00:38:54.999
And I’m doing a schedule,
00:38:55.000 --> 00:38:59.999
in your schedule. But it’s not that I
ever go over schedule, but the way
00:39:00.000 --> 00:39:04.999
the poor assistant I’m… the poor assistant
00:39:05.000 --> 00:39:09.999
who has to do that belong to that way,
00:39:10.000 --> 00:39:14.999
all thing is annoying. And
there is not much room for
00:39:15.000 --> 00:39:19.999
something who can
00:39:20.000 --> 00:39:24.999
and you can suddenly feel
00:39:25.000 --> 00:39:29.999
that maybe, okay, this trick
was lots of you know,
00:39:30.000 --> 00:39:34.999
you have to go… you have
to go… you have to go.
00:39:35.000 --> 00:39:39.999
[sil.]
00:39:40.000 --> 00:39:44.999
Now, let’s step to the editing room.
00:39:45.000 --> 00:39:49.999
What represents the editing room for you?
00:39:50.000 --> 00:39:54.999
I like to edit,
00:39:55.000 --> 00:39:59.999
because again I’m… we just,
we can… I can concentrate,
00:40:00.000 --> 00:40:04.999
I’m knowing that is a best one I
like very much and it’s quiet
00:40:05.000 --> 00:40:09.999
and we build little by little and we look
again and they know define it will be,
00:40:10.000 --> 00:40:14.999
it’s very nice work,
00:40:15.000 --> 00:40:19.999
I love it. I prefer the editing
00:40:20.000 --> 00:40:24.999
and I prefer the writing and a big shoot.
And a big shoot
00:40:25.000 --> 00:40:29.999
if you have done one mistake
at the preparation,
00:40:30.000 --> 00:40:34.999
so something if then something
00:40:35.000 --> 00:40:39.999
will be wrong, we just set. Um …
00:40:40.000 --> 00:40:44.999
choose the wrong actor, whatever
the whole thing is finished,
00:40:45.000 --> 00:40:49.999
you can fight as much
as you want against it,
00:40:50.000 --> 00:40:54.999
forget about it. It will be fine, okay,
00:40:55.000 --> 00:40:59.999
but and all you have
00:41:00.000 --> 00:41:04.999
and then know some of them
done it and you can take shoot
00:41:05.000 --> 00:41:09.999
and see to the act was go, where
I don’t want to see you anymore,
00:41:10.000 --> 00:41:14.999
it’s not so easy.
00:41:15.000 --> 00:41:19.999
The difference of editing,
documentary, and fiction?
00:41:20.000 --> 00:41:24.999
Documentary, when editing a documentary
00:41:25.000 --> 00:41:29.999
is much more in my genesis,
00:41:30.000 --> 00:41:34.999
because when I do documentary I don’t
know which shot will be at the beginning,
00:41:35.000 --> 00:41:39.999
which shot will be at the end, it’s
like really, like sculpting, something…
00:41:40.000 --> 00:41:44.999
taking something out of the
material is sculpting in.
00:41:45.000 --> 00:41:49.999
So, it’s very surprising, you know, so
the new one shot goes with another one,
00:41:50.000 --> 00:41:54.999
you didn’t know it, you
try and done easy, wow!
00:41:55.000 --> 00:41:59.999
Oh, no, no, no, it doesn’t work,
but when you have a fiction,
00:42:00.000 --> 00:42:04.999
so called you follow the story and
then you make it as good as it can be,
00:42:05.000 --> 00:42:09.999
but though you try,
00:42:10.000 --> 00:42:14.999
but it’s not except if you
destroy the script, it’s not…
00:42:15.000 --> 00:42:19.999
if be an invention,
00:42:20.000 --> 00:42:24.999
as it is in the documentary. When
the type of documentary I’m doing,
00:42:25.000 --> 00:42:29.999
no, it’s very exciting,
00:42:30.000 --> 00:42:34.999
the… to edit the documentary.
Also, you have to have
00:42:35.000 --> 00:42:39.999
the right person and I’m working for who,
00:42:40.000 --> 00:42:44.999
how long, very long time.
00:42:45.000 --> 00:42:49.999
Probably, 20 year or something, is when
00:42:50.000 --> 00:42:54.999
(inaudible) and you know we feel,
00:42:55.000 --> 00:42:59.999
we all like … seeing the same
thing at the same moment.
00:43:00.000 --> 00:43:04.999
So, and there is no reason, you know,
00:43:05.000 --> 00:43:09.999
no rush, no reason to put those two
shot together and then a third one,
00:43:10.000 --> 00:43:14.999
but we feel inside again.
00:43:15.000 --> 00:43:19.999
And you have to a lot of satisfaction
00:43:20.000 --> 00:43:24.999
and you have to fight with the
material, it’s… it’s nice.
00:43:25.000 --> 00:43:29.999
Umm… it’s nice.
00:43:30.000 --> 00:43:34.999
And in documentary you
take back with a concept,
00:43:35.000 --> 00:43:39.999
before you are in the editing
room emerges something?
00:43:40.000 --> 00:43:44.999
No, no…
00:43:45.000 --> 00:43:49.999
And, when you were making documentary.
Mmm… I don’t know,
00:43:50.000 --> 00:43:54.999
when I’m making I’m – again
I’m following my instinct,
00:43:55.000 --> 00:43:59.999
we should do that and do the other one.
And then so then sometimes I say,
00:44:00.000 --> 00:44:04.999
we should know,
00:44:05.000 --> 00:44:09.999
if it’s right, okay,
00:44:10.000 --> 00:44:14.999
I have enough material it’s
finished, for from the uh…
00:44:15.000 --> 00:44:19.999
from the other side, I
finished one week before
00:44:20.000 --> 00:44:24.999
I was supposed to. I say
to my GP and my so many,
00:44:25.000 --> 00:44:29.999
it’s over. But I had no fractional reason
00:44:30.000 --> 00:44:34.999
to say so, what I felt it, I say enough,
00:44:35.000 --> 00:44:39.999
kind of do, they look at
me, enough, take a holiday
00:44:40.000 --> 00:44:44.999
we were in it, take a holiday
for one week, I’m going home
00:44:45.000 --> 00:44:49.999
and then it was, you have to believe
00:44:50.000 --> 00:44:54.999
in your instinct.
00:44:55.000 --> 00:44:59.999
It’s risky, you know, it’s risky.
00:45:00.000 --> 00:45:04.999
Sometimes, you come at
the editing room and…
00:45:05.000 --> 00:45:09.999
What? And sometimes you go to the
editing room and find another movie
00:45:10.000 --> 00:45:14.999
and not the movie that you were expecting.
00:45:15.000 --> 00:45:19.999
Mmm… not really, no.
00:45:20.000 --> 00:45:24.999
[sil.]
00:45:25.000 --> 00:45:29.999
No.
00:45:30.000 --> 00:45:34.999
What, for fiction sometimes,
00:45:35.000 --> 00:45:39.999
once anyway, I was expecting someone,
00:45:40.000 --> 00:45:44.999
something more vibrant and it wasn’t there
00:45:45.000 --> 00:45:49.999
and I couldn’t do anything, and
nobody was saying anything.
00:45:50.000 --> 00:45:54.999
And I felt that and I felt and I was
telling to myself, I’m, am I crazy,
00:45:55.000 --> 00:45:59.999
nobody saying anything,
they all are, look happy
00:46:00.000 --> 00:46:04.999
and I was at the mix and I said who,
00:46:05.000 --> 00:46:09.999
the thing is not right
one, it’s something wrong.
00:46:10.000 --> 00:46:14.999
Then you don’t have to say anything,
00:46:15.000 --> 00:46:19.999
because, you know, if you
say that under people
00:46:20.000 --> 00:46:24.999
who work for you, they will feel
the same and they won’t work well.
00:46:25.000 --> 00:46:29.999
I felt that’s it can happen,
00:46:30.000 --> 00:46:34.999
it’s where it have
00:46:35.000 --> 00:46:39.999
to succeed always
00:46:40.000 --> 00:46:44.999
in what you feel.
00:46:45.000 --> 00:46:49.999
That was very…
00:46:50.000 --> 00:46:54.999
very sad, I have to, I couldn’t work
00:46:55.000 --> 00:46:59.999
for long while after that, because I say,
00:47:00.000 --> 00:47:04.999
how can I make that
mistake and that mistake,
00:47:05.000 --> 00:47:09.999
but you do, it this happened to everyone.
00:47:10.000 --> 00:47:14.999
And this mistake, the
children saying is affected,
00:47:15.000 --> 00:47:19.999
I mean, in your absence
of making another movie?
00:47:20.000 --> 00:47:24.999
No… no… no… no… no.
00:47:25.000 --> 00:47:29.999
Is on which film and if
you… No, since a few years
00:47:30.000 --> 00:47:34.999
I had a kind of complicated life
00:47:35.000 --> 00:47:39.999
and I fall from that, I stay,
00:47:40.000 --> 00:47:44.999
I broke my bones, staying in a
hospital for a very long time
00:47:45.000 --> 00:47:49.999
then I tried to write conventional script
00:47:50.000 --> 00:47:54.999
and I did and with a friend of mine
00:47:55.000 --> 00:47:59.999
and if I know kind of producing I kept but,
00:48:00.000 --> 00:48:04.999
he wanted me to change
the things all the time,
00:48:05.000 --> 00:48:09.999
he wanted to make it more
commercial and I didn’t like that
00:48:10.000 --> 00:48:14.999
what they were asking me.
So, after a while,
00:48:15.000 --> 00:48:19.999
I gave up, but I lost two
years with that thing.
00:48:20.000 --> 00:48:24.999
It was very expensive,
00:48:25.000 --> 00:48:29.999
probably, it’s good that I didn’t do it.
00:48:30.000 --> 00:48:34.999
But I lost a lot of time, maybe
it’s not lost, who knows.
00:48:35.000 --> 00:48:43.000
[sil.]
00:48:45.000 --> 00:48:49.999
No but it’s sure that, it is sure that
00:48:50.000 --> 00:48:54.999
when you do a film, which is not
00:48:55.000 --> 00:48:59.999
what you felt, uh…
00:49:00.000 --> 00:49:04.999
that is giving you doubt in yourself
00:49:05.000 --> 00:49:09.999
that’s for sure, since I’m
always working on my instinct
00:49:10.000 --> 00:49:14.999
and sometime then I cannot
go on my instinct anymore.
00:49:15.000 --> 00:49:19.999
It’s a bad feeling,
00:49:20.000 --> 00:49:24.999
because it’s not your mind, you’re going
to say okay, let’s say that’s yellow
00:49:25.000 --> 00:49:29.999
and then I must not, no, it
has to come from somewhere
00:49:30.000 --> 00:49:34.999
which is self conscious and unconscious.
00:49:35.000 --> 00:49:39.999
If it’s so conscious it’s dead and again,
00:49:40.000 --> 00:49:44.999
you know, is the unconsciousness things
00:49:45.000 --> 00:49:49.999
that something that you were not expected,
00:49:50.000 --> 00:49:54.999
which is usually the richness of the work.
00:49:55.000 --> 00:49:59.999
And when you made mistake,
00:50:00.000 --> 00:50:04.999
it’s hard to take normal.
00:50:05.000 --> 00:50:09.999
[sil.]
00:50:10.000 --> 00:50:14.999
And you know, a… movie cost a lot of money.
00:50:15.000 --> 00:50:19.999
So, even on small movie uh… then
when you’re not happy with it
00:50:20.000 --> 00:50:24.999
and what you don’t say to the others,
but you are not happy, you feel awful,
00:50:25.000 --> 00:50:29.999
you feel I didn’t give up that money.
00:50:30.000 --> 00:50:38.000
[sil.]
00:50:40.000 --> 00:50:44.999
Yeah. Let’s change to where from why,
00:50:45.000 --> 00:50:49.999
what you think about contemporaries cinema,
00:50:50.000 --> 00:50:54.999
if you like and movies or
the directors of today,
00:50:55.000 --> 00:50:59.999
if you see others?
00:51:00.000 --> 00:51:04.999
I surely do it.
00:51:05.000 --> 00:51:09.999
[sil.]
00:51:10.000 --> 00:51:14.999
I don’t go often, I don’t know.
00:51:15.000 --> 00:51:19.999
[sil.]
00:51:20.000 --> 00:51:24.999
I like this small this part film
00:51:25.000 --> 00:51:29.999
and I like some
00:51:30.000 --> 00:51:34.999
that when is (inaudible)
00:51:35.000 --> 00:51:39.999
okay,
00:51:40.000 --> 00:51:44.999
I do.
00:51:45.000 --> 00:51:49.999
I really don’t go often. I’m not a
good pattern to ask that because
00:51:50.000 --> 00:51:54.999
I go maybe once a year in cinema.
00:51:55.000 --> 00:51:59.999
Even on fast folks, even on fast folks?
00:52:00.000 --> 00:52:04.999
Oh, well, then, lot of time on,
00:52:05.000 --> 00:52:09.999
in some kind of jury
00:52:10.000 --> 00:52:14.999
and if I see that and that’s like,
because then I can see 20 films in this…
00:52:15.000 --> 00:52:23.000
[sil.]
00:52:25.000 --> 00:52:29.999
But I cannot really say that lately.
00:52:30.000 --> 00:52:34.999
I discover someone big,
00:52:35.000 --> 00:52:39.999
small nice little things,
but I didn’t discover
00:52:40.000 --> 00:52:44.999
someone who like who
00:52:45.000 --> 00:52:49.999
did the effect of a
(inaudible) whatever no.
00:52:50.000 --> 00:52:54.999
Maybe there is, you know,
00:52:55.000 --> 00:52:59.999
but I don’t know.
00:53:00.000 --> 00:53:04.999
[sil.]
00:53:05.000 --> 00:53:09.999
And there’s a reason you go last
to cinema today than before?
00:53:10.000 --> 00:53:14.999
Yeah, because I’m lazy
00:53:15.000 --> 00:53:19.999
and also I don’t know.
00:53:20.000 --> 00:53:24.999
I’m too demanding
00:53:25.000 --> 00:53:29.999
and when the people are saying,
\"Oh, good to see it’s not bad.\"
00:53:30.000 --> 00:53:34.999
It’s not bad, well, but it great?
00:53:35.000 --> 00:53:39.999
\"Oh, no, no. Not great but
not bad.\" And too demanding.
00:53:40.000 --> 00:53:44.999
Then I prefer talking it,
00:53:45.000 --> 00:53:49.999
I’m not, I found less curious,
than when I was young.
00:53:50.000 --> 00:53:54.999
It’s not good I know.
00:53:55.000 --> 00:53:59.999
And in the sense,
00:54:00.000 --> 00:54:04.999
it’s the fear that you have
now, that you prefer read and…
00:54:05.000 --> 00:54:09.999
I… I have to say, I prefer it, well,
00:54:10.000 --> 00:54:14.999
I prefer to have a dinner with a friend,
because I’m living in a neighborhood
00:54:15.000 --> 00:54:19.999
where there is not a type of cinema
00:54:20.000 --> 00:54:24.999
in losing him. So I have to in daytime
00:54:25.000 --> 00:54:29.999
I’m doing, it takes time,
at night I have to go
00:54:30.000 --> 00:54:34.999
then to come back, if I have
to have a nice conversation,
00:54:35.000 --> 00:54:39.999
if someone I like or we
do go recent to radio.
00:54:40.000 --> 00:54:44.999
Then to go and then to say (inaudible).
00:54:45.000 --> 00:54:49.999
[sil.]
00:54:50.000 --> 00:54:54.999
And now we came to the final question
00:54:55.000 --> 00:54:59.999
and you may along our cinema
took entire station a script,
00:55:00.000 --> 00:55:04.999
bringing book, common in books, is
there anything do you want to do yet?
00:55:05.000 --> 00:55:09.999
Fly.
00:55:10.000 --> 00:55:14.999
That’s thing,
00:55:15.000 --> 00:55:19.999
I know,
00:55:20.000 --> 00:55:24.999
start my life all over again.
00:55:25.000 --> 00:55:33.000
[sil.]
00:56:10.000 --> 00:56:14.999
I just (inaudible) very much.
00:56:15.000 --> 00:56:19.999
They just told (inaudible).
00:56:20.000 --> 00:56:28.000
[sil.]
00:58:05.000 --> 00:58:09.999
What’s your name? (inaudible).
00:58:10.000 --> 00:58:14.999
Oops! Let’s go.
00:58:15.000 --> 00:58:23.000
[sil.]
00:58:30.000 --> 00:58:34.999
Thank you guys, (inaudible). Thank you.
Yes, it was so pleasing.
00:58:35.000 --> 00:58:39.999
