L’homme atlantique 1981
The roses are already out, at the bottom of the park. That sometimes they are not seen by anyone, during their entire life and that they hold themselves like that in their perfume, open, for several days and then fall to pieces.
I am in a state of love between living and dying.
While I no longer love you, I no longer love anything. Nothing, except you, still.
I have made a film out of your absence.
You stand: facing me, softly, in constant provocation, innocent, impenetrable.
You are the Atlantic man: You do not know this.Translated from by -
