Agatha et les lectures illimitées
By Marguerite Duras
October 15 - 22, 2014
A brother and sister confront the nature of their relationship and try to break with the past. Duras foregrounds voiceover and vacant interior space to mirror the film’s reflective themes.
Hiroshima Mon Amour at the shore. A brother and sister (Yann Andréa and Bulle Ogier) meet at a seaside hotel to confront the nature of their relationship and try to achieve closure with the past. Their love for each other and its manifestations emerge in voiceover, with Duras herself articulating the sister’s thoughts. Eschewing traditional approaches to storytelling, Duras keeps the siblings off-screen or obscured for much of the film and never allows them to share the frame. Her camera prowls the deserted hotel lobby and sometimes catches itself in the mirror, analogizing the film’s reflective themes.
