L'Étonnement
X has killed Y, the woman he loved. The story of a passion lived to the limit, until death, which I wanted to make into an austere, naked, bone-spare film. Of the source tragedy, I basically wanted to retain the universal, familiar aspect. The film’s sole character will be at once the person who creates the story, the one who lives it out in his prison cell, the actor who performs it, like a sole witness and spectator: himself. This scenaristic approach will dictate the mise en scene, without recourse to any other directorial artifice. The text, its style and performance, will provide the indiscernible conduit between the different facets of the person, real or imagined, and our own conflicting feelings, caught up in the contradiction of our ponderousness, though our heads are in the clouds.
