lovers on the run: vol. 5

"You didn't believe we'd always be in love."

 

 

Pierre le Fou! Jean- Luc Godard! Anna Karina! Jean- Paul Belmondo! Totally weird and bizarre, but I'm into it.

"I never told you I'd love you all my life. Oh my love, you never swore to adore me all your life. We never made promises like that, knowing me knowing you. We never thought we ever would be caught by love fickle as we were. And yet, and yet, step by step, without a word between us, bit by bit, feelings slipped between our merry mingle bodies and words of love rose to our naked lips. Bit by bit lots of words of love began to mingle gently with our kisses. How many words of love? I never would have thought I'd always want you. Oh my love, we never would have thought we two could live together and not get bored. Wake up every morning and be just as surprised to be just as happy in the same bed, desire nothing more than that oh so banal pleasure of feeling so good to be together. And yet, and yet, step by step without a word between us, bit by bit our feelings bound us tight in spite of ourselves, bound us tight forever Feelings stronger than any words of love known or unknown. Feelings so wild and so strong. Feelings we never thought were possible before. Don't ever promise to adore me all your life. Let's not make promises like that knowing me knowing you. Let's keep the feeling that this love of ours, this love of ours, will be short and sweet."

Contempt

Vivre Sa Vie

From the June 2nd issue of the New Yorker, about Jean-Luc Godard's film, "Vivre Sa Vie":

"Nana is in despair because she cannot say exactly what she means and would prefer to say nothing rather than betray herself."

Odile

From Band of Outsiders:
"Odile is never at the same time sad and gay, gentle and happy, tender and distant, as people are in a normal psychological film.. She lives, on the contrary, each day as it comes, which she plunges into one after the other, rather than all at once, which is the sign of a simple and gentle heart."
Jean-Luc Godard
