Pauline Acquart - Retenez Son Nom

[fish]

Not so alone in this one.

[DMt.]

Both of those particular pix are about Marie being pissed-off with Anne, though, rather than about something innately solitary in the character, no? The dancefloor scene, the earlier waiting-for-Floriane pic, and the party scenes do that better.

[fish]

...something innately solitary in the character...

Like sitting outside Florian's house, in the dark.

[DMt.]

Yes, about as alone as it gets, that one

[fish]

She looked like se really needed a hug in that scene.



But then, a bloke could get himself arrested for sneaking up and doing that.

[fish]

Why did Marie move her hand away?

[katka]

Marie don't believe her and is afraid.

[Tidbit]

fave scene

[DMt.]

Duh, what?

Context?

Oh, hang on, must be the 'ceilings in their eyes' scene...

Now the image has appeared, and I feel silly.

[fish]

...I feel silly.

No wonder you blend in so well around here then.


I suppose you're right Kat.
I guess NdP might have taken a different storyline path had the hands stayed together.

But still.

[katka]

hmmm, but that this film offers us a wealth of meanings and the ways how would it maybe be in reality, does not seem quite real. Because for example I (also young girl) if I would was in love with a girl whether...would was with Floriane or anyone else, I'll would at that moment did not withdraw my hand away. I'll would enjoyed the feeling of closeness and intimacy, and I'd be happy, even I would knew that she did only a as pretense for just wants to manipulate me.

[fish]

You have a point there.
Would Marie be likely to think that Floriane was not sincere and would she then rationally decide not to be manipulated by her, or would she just leap at the chance of an intimate touch?
Probably, in the heat of the moment, the latter is more likely.

But then I'm a touchy-feely kind of a guy anyway.

[Ian]

Aren't we all?

[snaps]

Where was this pic taken, and what was the context? It looks like the seafront at Dieppe to me?

[DMt.]

It's a still from 'Au Septieme Jour', snappo, an excellent short in its Gallic way but Very Sad. I never did know the location, sorry.
