1
00:00:05,280 --> 00:00:07,840
Eyes quite dreamy, a little crazy
2
00:00:07,920 --> 00:00:10,640
With a strange gleam
3
00:00:10,720 --> 00:00:14,240
Like many a man from the North
In his nice hair made of gold
4
00:00:14,560 --> 00:00:17,360
The smile of an angel
5
00:00:17,440 --> 00:00:21,640
Passed by almost missing him
He said hello to me and then
6
00:00:21,800 --> 00:00:24,560
With his musical voice
7
00:00:24,640 --> 00:00:26,840
I understood that on this night
8
00:00:26,880 --> 00:00:29,560
{\an8}Despite the rain and the cold
9
00:00:29,680 --> 00:00:34,000
{\an8}I'd be satisfied
10
00:00:35,000 --> 00:00:37,800
He had a soft look in his eye
11
00:00:38,360 --> 00:00:43,480
{\an8}Where does he come from and why
12
00:00:44,120 --> 00:00:46,120
{\an8}Where are you from?
What's your name?
13
00:00:46,200 --> 00:00:48,080
{\an8}My boat is where I remain
14
00:00:48,160 --> 00:00:50,760
{\an8}The sea in my hometown
15
00:00:50,840 --> 00:00:53,000
{\an8}My name nobody shall know
16
00:00:53,080 --> 00:00:57,760
{\an8}I am simply a fellow
Working till sundown
17
00:00:57,840 --> 00:01:00,120
{\an8}And if my heart grows heavy
18
00:01:00,200 --> 00:01:02,520
{\an8}A little love could cure me,
19
00:01:02,600 --> 00:01:05,840
I long for a touch
20
00:01:05,960 --> 00:01:08,280
And me, the girl with a heart so jaded
21
00:01:08,360 --> 00:01:10,880
With his kisses I discovered
22
00:01:10,960 --> 00:01:16,040
{\an8}A sheer exhilaration
23
00:01:17,240 --> 00:01:20,160
{\an8}He had a soft look in his eye
24
00:01:21,000 --> 00:01:26,520
{\an8}Where does he go to and why
25
00:01:27,200 --> 00:01:31,600
{\an8}I dreamt of the stranger
With a heart in anger
26
00:01:32,120 --> 00:01:34,360
{\an8}Because of cigarettes,
27
00:01:34,400 --> 00:01:36,560
of alcohol and the blues,
28
00:01:36,720 --> 00:01:39,000
The memory of him at night
29
00:01:39,080 --> 00:01:42,920
Made my head turn
30
00:01:43,320 --> 00:01:48,000
But they say that at the port,
A body was somehow caught
31
00:01:48,480 --> 00:01:50,640
By a navy fellow
32
00:01:50,720 --> 00:01:52,960
Who, by love abandoned,
33
00:01:53,040 --> 00:01:55,480
Only found to be cradled
34
00:01:56,560 --> 00:02:03,960
{\an8}The cuddly sea
35
00:02:05,360 --> 00:02:08,600
He had a soft look in his eye
36
00:02:09,360 --> 00:02:12,720
Where did he go...
37
00:02:13,240 --> 00:02:15,040
It's a beautiful song.
38
00:02:15,840 --> 00:02:17,120
I really love songs.
39
00:02:17,920 --> 00:02:19,720
Especially love songs.
40
00:02:20,280 --> 00:02:21,760
Love songs make me dream.
41
00:02:23,840 --> 00:02:26,280
This one makes me think
about my village in Normandy,
42
00:02:26,360 --> 00:02:27,680
summer at the beach, all that...
43
00:02:28,800 --> 00:02:32,000
When you're born in a trendy place
you don't really notice.
44
00:02:32,400 --> 00:02:34,160
We didn't go to Deauville
because it was fancy,
45
00:02:34,200 --> 00:02:37,000
we went there with the family, it was
six miles away from our place.
46
00:02:37,240 --> 00:02:38,360
It was more practical.
47
00:02:38,600 --> 00:02:40,720
We didn't care for snobs,
we didn't see them.
48
00:02:41,000 --> 00:02:43,720
And last year we spent a month's
vacation at my parents',
49
00:02:43,880 --> 00:02:45,720
that's where I met Daniel.
50
00:02:46,160 --> 00:02:48,960
So, when I hear a song
about the sea,
51
00:02:49,040 --> 00:02:51,440
it reminds me of Deauville
and of Daniel since he's a sailor.
52
00:02:52,000 --> 00:02:54,560
Is it foolish to love
love songs, Simone?
53
00:02:54,880 --> 00:02:56,120
No, I agree with you.
54
00:02:56,280 --> 00:02:58,000
Music makes me dream too.
55
00:02:58,480 --> 00:03:01,240
Music and perfume
are the best way to remember things.
56
00:03:02,080 --> 00:03:05,240
When you're very happy,
music makes you happier.
57
00:03:05,320 --> 00:03:08,360
When you're sad,
it makes you sadder.
58
00:03:08,440 --> 00:03:10,200
It reminds me of my husband.
59
00:03:10,360 --> 00:03:12,440
We loved each other
for twenty years.
60
00:03:12,920 --> 00:03:15,400
Can you imagine?
Twenty years!
61
00:03:15,880 --> 00:03:18,520
Then, three years ago,
during winter,
62
00:03:19,040 --> 00:03:22,280
suddenly, stupidly,
he caught the flu.
63
00:03:22,560 --> 00:03:24,520
He went to bed, he died.
64
00:03:25,720 --> 00:03:26,880
I was left alone.
65
00:03:27,200 --> 00:03:28,440
That's terrible.
66
00:03:29,280 --> 00:03:31,920
I would like for Daniel and me to
love each other for twenty years.
67
00:03:32,520 --> 00:03:34,840
I don't know when
we will live together.
68
00:03:35,080 --> 00:03:38,320
He's funny, he doesn't talk a lot,
I don't know what he wants.
69
00:03:38,920 --> 00:03:41,000
Even when he smiles
he seems sad.
70
00:03:41,280 --> 00:03:43,280
Maybe that's what
I like about him.
71
00:04:28,920 --> 00:04:30,600
She should be here!
72
00:05:21,280 --> 00:05:22,440
Daniel!
73
00:05:34,960 --> 00:05:37,000
Where were you?
We looked everywhere for you!
74
00:05:37,080 --> 00:05:39,120
There, but I couldn't find you.
75
00:05:39,200 --> 00:05:41,440
Meet my friend.
We came here on leave together.
76
00:05:41,520 --> 00:05:43,720
- Jean-François Dupuis.
- Hi.
77
00:05:43,800 --> 00:05:45,360
- So?
- So?
78
00:05:45,800 --> 00:05:47,880
You know, we saw action.
79
00:05:48,200 --> 00:05:50,840
We were always confined to barracks.
Now we're better.
80
00:05:52,200 --> 00:05:54,200
Old boy, see you.
Have a good leave.
81
00:05:54,480 --> 00:05:55,560
Goodbye.
82
00:06:01,480 --> 00:06:04,000
Can you believe the weather
in the middle of July?
83
00:06:04,680 --> 00:06:05,680
So?
84
00:06:06,160 --> 00:06:08,040
You know, we were a little shook up.
85
00:06:08,360 --> 00:06:09,840
It's a sad situation.
86
00:06:10,000 --> 00:06:12,240
Whatever our political views may be.
87
00:06:12,320 --> 00:06:15,000
There, we made the trip
with the returnees from Algeria.
88
00:06:15,080 --> 00:06:18,600
These people left everything,
their houses... It was terrible.
89
00:06:18,720 --> 00:06:21,240
Let's go home,
you'll tell me all about it.
90
00:07:44,600 --> 00:07:46,560
How long are you enlisted for?
91
00:07:47,160 --> 00:07:48,320
Five years.
92
00:07:48,760 --> 00:07:50,320
How many have you done?
93
00:07:50,920 --> 00:07:51,920
Four years.
94
00:07:52,000 --> 00:07:53,120
You have a year left.
95
00:07:53,200 --> 00:07:54,320
Yes.
96
00:07:55,800 --> 00:07:57,680
And after this year it's over?
97
00:07:58,480 --> 00:07:59,480
Yes.
98
00:08:02,640 --> 00:08:05,240
And now you're going to be
in Brest?
99
00:08:06,600 --> 00:08:07,600
Yes...
100
00:08:11,120 --> 00:08:12,720
Yes, near me.
101
00:08:15,760 --> 00:08:17,600
And what are you going to do?
102
00:08:18,160 --> 00:08:19,280
I don't know.
103
00:08:20,080 --> 00:08:22,200
Are you going to look for a job?
104
00:08:22,520 --> 00:08:23,520
Yes.
105
00:08:31,680 --> 00:08:33,120
What job?
106
00:08:34,080 --> 00:08:35,920
Through relations.
107
00:08:38,240 --> 00:08:39,240
Yes...
108
00:08:43,200 --> 00:08:45,280
We'll have to find a place to live.
109
00:08:45,600 --> 00:08:46,600
Of course.
110
00:08:46,800 --> 00:08:48,920
You see, the room is tiny.
111
00:08:49,000 --> 00:08:52,640
The owner likes me
but she doesn't want a couple.
112
00:08:53,840 --> 00:08:55,680
How long is your leave?
113
00:08:55,760 --> 00:08:56,800
Thirteen.
114
00:08:57,400 --> 00:09:00,080
Tomorrow we'll find
a room in a hotel,
115
00:09:00,160 --> 00:09:01,560
it's more practical.
116
00:09:01,880 --> 00:09:04,120
I'll work it out with her
for tonight.
117
00:09:11,120 --> 00:09:12,760
We'll wait for each other.
118
00:09:13,040 --> 00:09:14,040
Yes.
119
00:09:15,000 --> 00:09:16,360
For the rest...
120
00:09:30,040 --> 00:09:33,440
Tender and light...
Like you!
121
00:09:53,360 --> 00:09:55,360
We always played this tune, there.
122
00:10:00,560 --> 00:10:02,640
I would have liked to go to Algeria.
123
00:10:02,760 --> 00:10:03,960
How is it?
124
00:10:04,240 --> 00:10:06,120
The sun... The sea...
125
00:10:07,320 --> 00:10:08,640
And the war?
126
00:10:10,000 --> 00:10:11,440
For us, war...
127
00:10:12,360 --> 00:10:15,640
We didn't take one shot
in four years.
128
00:10:16,760 --> 00:10:19,000
What did you do, then?
129
00:10:19,080 --> 00:10:21,280
Patrol, escort, inspection.
130
00:10:22,000 --> 00:10:24,560
Did the Arabs have boats?
131
00:10:24,840 --> 00:10:27,280
No, but weapon counterfeiters...
132
00:10:27,960 --> 00:10:29,480
Was it dangerous?
133
00:10:30,200 --> 00:10:32,360
When we were at war, no.
134
00:10:32,440 --> 00:10:35,600
But at times on the street,
during our days of leave.
135
00:10:36,200 --> 00:10:37,920
Did you see any attacks?
136
00:10:38,000 --> 00:10:39,080
Yes, once.
137
00:10:39,160 --> 00:10:41,320
A banana vendor was shot
right next to me.
138
00:10:41,400 --> 00:10:43,320
I heard the shot,
I turned my head,
139
00:10:43,400 --> 00:10:46,160
I saw him lying on the floor
in the middle of the bananas.
140
00:10:48,680 --> 00:10:51,000
I would have gone mad there.
141
00:10:51,080 --> 00:10:52,400
You would have gotten used to it.
142
00:10:56,640 --> 00:10:59,280
I could never get used to war.
143
00:11:00,520 --> 00:11:02,080
I like the quiet life.
144
00:11:03,040 --> 00:11:04,040
Peace.
145
00:11:05,280 --> 00:11:06,840
Oh, you know, to me...
146
00:11:08,000 --> 00:11:09,800
War or peace...
147
00:11:21,480 --> 00:11:22,880
You're weird.
148
00:11:23,320 --> 00:11:24,680
Don't you cherish anything?
149
00:11:28,600 --> 00:11:30,560
Yes, at times...
150
00:11:30,640 --> 00:11:31,920
Do you cherish me?
151
00:11:37,280 --> 00:11:41,360
The next few days were similar to
the first day, and the second day...
152
00:11:44,200 --> 00:11:46,400
Summer was ending...
153
00:11:48,800 --> 00:11:52,160
Already, everything was just
memories, remaining moments.
154
00:12:19,680 --> 00:12:22,480
"MY GOAL IS TO BE DEAD BY 20"
155
00:13:01,800 --> 00:13:02,840
"Here I am in Brest.
156
00:13:04,760 --> 00:13:06,600
"This leave went by fast.
157
00:13:10,800 --> 00:13:13,920
"When I arrived,

00:13:14,160 --> 00:13:15,480

00:13:15,720 --> 00:13:17,960
"I went out with a rookie
who seemed nice,
160
00:13:18,040 --> 00:13:19,760
"he was from Marseille.
161
00:13:20,200 --> 00:13:22,080
"We didn't see much as always
162
00:13:22,280 --> 00:13:24,640
"the first time you arrive
in a new town.
163
00:14:15,760 --> 00:14:20,040
"It started raining and I thought
about Prévert's poem:
164
00:14:20,120 --> 00:14:24,040
"It's raining over Brest
and I ran into you in Siam
165
00:14:24,120 --> 00:14:27,280
"I saw that Siam street existed,
I thought of war.
166
00:14:27,360 --> 00:14:29,680
"My idea of Brest
came down to that.
167
00:14:29,760 --> 00:14:31,880
"The name of that street,
the rain,
168
00:14:31,960 --> 00:14:33,880
"and the memory of war.
169
00:14:36,280 --> 00:14:37,960
"I was a child at the time,
170
00:14:38,040 --> 00:14:40,360
"but I remember the bombing.
171
00:14:40,440 --> 00:14:41,960
"We were at the neighbors'
172
00:14:42,040 --> 00:14:44,960
"when the radio announced it
everyone cried.
173
00:14:47,480 --> 00:14:51,000
"I write to you from a café

174
00:14:51,080 --> 00:14:54,200
"to the Recouvrance bridge

175
00:14:54,280 --> 00:14:56,440
"I'm expecting a letter from you.
176
00:14:56,600 --> 00:14:59,320
"I hold you close to me,

177
00:14:59,400 --> 00:15:02,720
"My highest considerations."
178
00:15:44,400 --> 00:15:46,080
Paris August 4th
179
00:15:46,160 --> 00:15:51,080
My love,
I received your first letter...
180
00:15:58,960 --> 00:16:01,440
Hello, I'm late.
I forgot to set my alarm.
181
00:16:02,680 --> 00:16:04,160
Any news from Daniel?
182
00:16:04,760 --> 00:16:07,440
I received his first letter,
I'm answering him.
183
00:16:07,520 --> 00:16:09,160
He's in Brest, he's all right.
184
00:16:19,200 --> 00:16:20,400
Another day.
185
00:16:36,760 --> 00:16:41,720
Sincerely,
186
00:16:41,800 --> 00:16:44,680
with my highest considerations.
187
00:16:44,760 --> 00:16:48,520
Lousy weather today.
I didn't want to get up.
188
00:16:48,680 --> 00:16:50,680
"The expression..."
Oh drat...
189
00:16:51,400 --> 00:16:55,520
Paris, the 5th...
190
00:16:56,960 --> 00:16:58,680
One day gone...
191
00:17:35,360 --> 00:17:37,840
"Dear Mr. Paymaster General,
192
00:17:37,920 --> 00:17:41,560
"we have received your letter
from the 18th of this month.
193
00:17:41,760 --> 00:17:43,280
October 1st...
194
00:17:43,440 --> 00:17:46,280
"We would like to mention
195
00:17:46,440 --> 00:17:47,960
"that we noticed...
196
00:17:48,040 --> 00:17:51,080
"...that we noticed a mistake
of 362 Francs."
197
00:17:51,160 --> 00:17:52,240
Very important.
198
00:17:52,320 --> 00:17:54,080
...in the total: 6361.
199
00:17:54,480 --> 00:17:56,480
Enclosed, a copy for verification."
200
00:17:58,360 --> 00:17:59,800
Flows the Seine
201
00:18:00,360 --> 00:18:02,480
And our loves
Must I remember them
202
00:18:02,720 --> 00:18:04,880
Joy always followed pain
203
00:18:05,480 --> 00:18:08,640
The night falls and the hour rings
204
00:18:11,920 --> 00:18:14,280
I remain, Hand in hand
205
00:18:16,280 --> 00:18:17,920
While underneath the bridge
Of our arms
206
00:18:24,720 --> 00:18:27,000
...falls and the hours ring...
207
00:18:27,320 --> 00:18:30,040
The days go by I remain,
208
00:18:30,400 --> 00:18:33,680
Love goes away
like this flowing water
209
00:18:34,360 --> 00:18:37,720
Love fades away,
Life is so slow,
210
00:18:38,000 --> 00:18:39,400
...go by, I remain
211
00:18:40,880 --> 00:18:44,600
Days go by and by go the weeks,
212
00:18:44,680 --> 00:18:46,560
Neither past time...
213
00:19:04,840 --> 00:19:07,960
Fall just arrived and already great
designers are thinking of winter.
214
00:19:08,720 --> 00:19:11,160
Ladies, you will still be able
to wear your fur,
215
00:19:11,320 --> 00:19:13,760
but it will be shorter
and more fitted.
216
00:19:14,440 --> 00:19:17,520
The boot is still a must have
on your outings.
217
00:19:17,800 --> 00:19:19,120
Not much change overall...
218
00:19:38,840 --> 00:19:40,960
Look, I bought it at
the flea market. It's funny.
219
00:19:42,480 --> 00:19:43,840
And that one!
220
00:19:44,560 --> 00:19:45,560
Like Marlene.
221
00:19:54,120 --> 00:19:55,600
I had a new coat made.
222
00:19:55,680 --> 00:19:57,120
I was tired of the old one.
223
00:20:00,160 --> 00:20:01,200
The black one...
224
00:20:03,080 --> 00:20:05,240
The other one, the black one,
the old one, you know?
225
00:20:06,080 --> 00:20:07,880
You know, your room
is becoming very cute.
226
00:20:08,400 --> 00:20:10,720
Mine is smaller.
How much do you pay for it?
227
00:20:10,800 --> 00:20:12,480
Eight thousand.
But it's not finished,
228
00:20:12,560 --> 00:20:15,040
I'm going to buy a lot of things
when I have a little money.
229
00:20:15,160 --> 00:20:16,920
And my grandmother
gives me things too.
230
00:20:17,240 --> 00:20:18,840
Those curtains are nice
they're very old.
231
00:20:19,200 --> 00:20:20,640
Here, I'm going to put a red carpet.
232
00:20:20,680 --> 00:20:23,720
On the fireplace, a white vase
and a gold mirror.
233
00:20:24,400 --> 00:20:27,600
But I don't know
if I'm going to stay here.
234
00:20:30,200 --> 00:20:31,920
I have an important thing
to tell you.
235
00:20:32,880 --> 00:20:34,280
Marc wants to get married.
236
00:20:34,560 --> 00:20:37,560
I'm thinking about it,
I think I'm going to say yes.
237
00:20:39,040 --> 00:20:40,040
That's good.
238
00:20:42,120 --> 00:20:44,000
- Is that you?
- Yes.
239
00:20:44,520 --> 00:20:46,920
Yes, when I was little in Toulouse.
240
00:20:47,000 --> 00:20:48,320
When I got to Paris,
241
00:20:48,400 --> 00:20:49,680
I always walked around Saint-Germain
242
00:20:49,720 --> 00:20:51,120
there are a lot of antique dealers.
243
00:20:51,720 --> 00:20:53,560
Décor is a question of taste.
244
00:20:56,400 --> 00:20:57,920
I think I'm good at it.
245
00:20:58,440 --> 00:21:00,400
Everything I have here
I found at the flea market.
246
00:21:04,640 --> 00:21:06,800
It's beautiful like a human face.
247
00:21:18,320 --> 00:21:20,200
"Geneviève, every night in Brest
248
00:21:20,360 --> 00:21:23,880
"I have a date with a person
who stood me up: the rain.
249
00:21:24,480 --> 00:21:26,640
"Faithfully,
it falls with the night.
250
00:21:27,640 --> 00:21:30,520
"To tell you more about Brest,
like you asked,
251
00:21:30,760 --> 00:21:33,720
"I just have to send you the booklet
they gave us on board.
252
00:21:35,840 --> 00:21:38,080
"First chapter: Brest.

00:21:38,440 --> 00:21:40,080
"The Finistère subprefecture,

"capital
of the 10th military region,

"During the war,
the Germans turned Brest into...

"Chapter: Brest itself.
260

"Brest is a peaceful city.
261
00:21:58,880 --> 00:22:00,360
"Very peaceful, I might add.
262
00:22:01,040 --> 00:22:03,160
"After nine p.m.,
few people on the streets.
263
00:22:04,000 --> 00:22:05,960
"Few people" is quite generous.
264
00:22:06,040 --> 00:22:09,320
"The main street at nine is as
animated as the Djebel mountains.
265
00:22:13,280 --> 00:22:15,000
Chapter:
A sailor in Brest.
266
00:22:16,280 --> 00:22:18,200
"After a first contact
with the city,
267
00:22:18,360 --> 00:22:21,880
"the sailor newly arrived,
will find places of distraction.
268
00:22:22,440 --> 00:22:24,920
"Brest has the reputation
of a closed severe city.
269
00:22:25,240 --> 00:22:26,720
"May it not discourage the neophyte.
270
00:22:27,280 --> 00:22:30,440
"He will walk along Siam street and
the Dajot course, where on Sundays,

"Finally, I'm putting down
the booklet

00:22:42,440 --> 00:22:44,840
"A peaceful province, asleep,

"a little empty, quite sad.

"People mainly live in their homes.

"Silent streets lined
with grey houses and trees.

"The young people I met complain
about the lack of distractions,

"especially in winter.

"One thing I had noticed

"in every city built
close to the sea,
284

"At the end of each street.

"The gardens are above the sea,

every day,

in some districts,

of Algeria.

"And there it was shameful.

00:23:58,400 --> 00:23:59,800
"Poverty was so established

"that some forgot about it
and saw it as picturesque."
302
00:24:09,320 --> 00:24:11,120
Nineteen years
since the end of the war.
303
00:24:11,280 --> 00:24:12,760
It's my age.
304
00:24:18,800 --> 00:24:21,280
Did you have the blue meter
installed at your place?
305
00:24:59,120 --> 00:25:01,840
I think that, in life,
everything can be bought.
306
00:25:02,000 --> 00:25:03,000
I don't think so.
307
00:25:03,160 --> 00:25:05,680
I think that life is simple
and not so simple.
308
00:25:06,000 --> 00:25:07,720
Well... It's complicated.
309
00:25:08,560 --> 00:25:10,600
I am sure that feelings
can't be bought.
310
00:25:11,160 --> 00:25:12,680
We don't pay for friendship either.
311
00:25:13,720 --> 00:25:16,080
I'm not talking about appearances,
but about truth.
312
00:25:16,440 --> 00:25:18,080
No, nothing can be bought.
313
00:25:18,680 --> 00:25:20,920
Except of course for carrots
and turnips from the market.
314
00:25:21,440 --> 00:25:24,400
At last I understand you.
We buy...
315
00:25:24,720 --> 00:25:27,000
But we pretend not to buy.
316
00:25:48,280 --> 00:25:51,480
Catherine, darling, I have told you
a hundred times to be careful.
317
00:25:51,720 --> 00:25:54,000
I came from the house,
you left the gas on.
318
00:25:54,800 --> 00:25:57,000
One day, you're going to die
of asphyxiation.
319
00:26:00,560 --> 00:26:02,000
I'm already dead.
320
00:26:08,080 --> 00:26:11,040
Life is like the movies...
What a fool...
321
00:26:11,160 --> 00:26:13,120
It's movies that imitate life.
322
00:26:46,920 --> 00:26:48,720
"Paris November 2nd.
323
00:26:49,000 --> 00:26:52,560
"Paris is yellow.
I love Paris in the fall.

"Christmas more than any other."

00:28:31,120 --> 00:28:33,720
There are stars in the sky
that make us look up
331
00:28:33,840 --> 00:28:36,240
In the street
there are pretty girls...
332
00:28:38,400 --> 00:28:39,800
There, there, here's the demob
333
00:28:39,880 --> 00:28:41,520
It's not made for Frenchmen
in God's name
334

There, there, here's the demob
335

There, there, here's the demob
Seniors are concerned I'll be damned
338
00:29:20,360 --> 00:29:22,760
I was very busy today,
I put away the Christmas crib...
339
00:29:22,840 --> 00:29:27,320
The ox, the donkey, St Joseph,
the Virgin Mary and baby Jesus,
340
00:29:27,400 --> 00:29:28,720
all of it.
341
00:29:32,840 --> 00:29:33,880
Is that you?
342
00:29:33,960 --> 00:29:36,040
Of course, I played in movies.
343
00:29:36,120 --> 00:29:37,960
My first film, "Le Bagnard",
344
00:29:39,280 --> 00:29:41,000
There with Jean-Claude Pascal
and René Saint Cyr
345
00:29:41,040 --> 00:29:42,600
in "Le Chevalier de la nuit".
346
00:29:43,120 --> 00:29:47,160
There with Serge Reggiani,
Gérard Philipe and Daniel Gelin.
347
00:29:47,760 --> 00:29:48,760
That's my nephew,
348
00:29:48,840 --> 00:29:50,520
he had his first communion
this year.
349
00:29:51,160 --> 00:29:52,840
A black and white cover.
350
00:30:00,560 --> 00:30:01,560
Tonight, we will dance
351
00:30:01,600 --> 00:30:03,320
but only for new year's eve.
352
00:30:07,680 --> 00:30:11,480
She's here for your liking
353
00:30:12,560 --> 00:30:16,560
She has this mysterious thing
354
00:30:16,840 --> 00:30:20,760
She is on this Earth
355
00:30:21,280 --> 00:30:25,320
To break all your hearts
356
00:30:25,640 --> 00:30:29,480
Lola, Lola lives for love
And for love alone
357
00:30:29,880 --> 00:30:33,760
You can try to woo her too
No one's gonna stop you
358
00:30:33,880 --> 00:30:37,840
Ah, to hold Lola in your arms
All of you can tempt her
359
00:30:37,960 --> 00:30:42,120
But having Lola love your charms
That's another matter
360
00:30:46,680 --> 00:30:50,000
In a bar in Vienna
361
00:30:50,800 --> 00:30:54,280
They come from mountains and plains
362
00:30:54,960 --> 00:30:58,480
For weeks they remain
363
00:30:59,560 --> 00:31:03,200
To listen to her sing
364
00:31:03,560 --> 00:31:07,760
Lola, Lola sings of love
With her cheeky voice
365
00:31:11,040 --> 00:31:12,840
Christmas makes me blue.
366
00:31:15,720 --> 00:31:17,800
What am I doing in this city?
367
00:31:17,960 --> 00:31:19,720
Talk about a party.
What a mood!
368
00:31:20,000 --> 00:31:21,320
It's always drizzling.
369
00:31:21,520 --> 00:31:23,800
Rain... Fog...
Rain... Fog...
370
00:31:23,920 --> 00:31:26,240
Did you see my dress?
It's nice, right?
371
00:31:26,520 --> 00:31:28,400
I dreamed of the sun.
372
00:31:28,520 --> 00:31:30,480
Of the French Riviera...
373
00:31:32,040 --> 00:31:33,920
Then I met a guy.
374
00:31:35,320 --> 00:31:37,800
A thug, but I loved him.
375
00:31:39,360 --> 00:31:41,040
I ended up here.
376
00:31:45,800 --> 00:31:47,920
I've seen plenty of seas.
377
00:31:48,520 --> 00:31:50,160
But never the one I wanted.
378
00:31:50,240 --> 00:31:51,920
Before, I was in Nantes,
379
00:31:52,160 --> 00:31:54,680
I worked in a club, the Eldorado.
380
00:31:54,880 --> 00:31:58,440
Then, by chance, just like that,
Brest...
381
00:32:41,160 --> 00:32:45,760
China nights, Cuddly nights,
382
00:32:45,880 --> 00:32:48,080
Nights of love!
383
00:32:48,200 --> 00:32:52,800
Nights of drunkenness,
Of tenderness,
384
00:32:52,920 --> 00:32:57,280
That feel like dreams
Until the sun beams
385
00:32:58,280 --> 00:33:02,680
China nights, Cuddly nights,
386
00:33:02,800 --> 00:33:05,760
Nights of love!
387
00:33:20,280 --> 00:33:22,720
It was a simple Christmas
with the family.
388
00:33:23,720 --> 00:33:25,400
I would have liked to be
with Daniel.
389
00:33:25,760 --> 00:33:26,760
I am a minor,
390
00:33:26,880 --> 00:33:29,000
I have to do what my parents say.
391
00:33:38,320 --> 00:33:40,880
Normandy must have been nice,
rain on the sea...
392
00:33:40,960 --> 00:33:41,960
Yes.
393
00:33:46,000 --> 00:33:47,840
"I know it's not very good,
394
00:33:47,960 --> 00:33:49,680
"but I'm a little jealous thinking
395
00:33:49,760 --> 00:33:51,600
"you will be alone in Brest
on Christmas Eve.
396
00:33:51,920 --> 00:33:54,240
It's not very nice to lead her on.
397
00:33:54,360 --> 00:33:57,360
In fact, I don't see why
you're still with that girl.
398
00:33:57,480 --> 00:34:00,280
You write her regularly,
you cheat on her all the time,
399
00:34:00,360 --> 00:34:02,160
we talked about it last time.
400
00:34:02,240 --> 00:34:05,120
You said physical affairs
were of no importance.
401
00:34:05,600 --> 00:34:08,720
I think that being loyal
to someone is beautiful.
402
00:34:14,600 --> 00:34:17,720
I remember, I also spent
one Christmas alone, in Paris.
403
00:34:18,280 --> 00:34:21,360
I didn't have a dime.
It was sinister.
404
00:35:05,600 --> 00:35:08,320
I left home when I was sixteen
to be free,
405
00:35:08,560 --> 00:35:11,480
because I wasn't interested
in family life.
406
00:35:11,640 --> 00:35:13,120
I like choosing.
407
00:35:13,280 --> 00:35:15,640
And a family, is one of the things
that are forced on you,
408
00:35:15,720 --> 00:35:17,040
so it didn't work.
409
00:35:17,760 --> 00:35:21,400
I left and I was free, in Paris.
410
00:35:39,560 --> 00:35:41,040
I miss these times a lot,
411
00:35:41,120 --> 00:35:44,480
I think you must be very young
to get this kind of feeling.
412
00:35:52,800 --> 00:35:54,600
It's a funny adventure.
413
00:35:54,720 --> 00:35:56,280
At first, it's fascinating.
414
00:35:56,400 --> 00:35:59,240
We want to enjoy freedom
from every angle.
415
00:36:14,160 --> 00:36:16,120
I lived in a tiny room
under the rooftop.
416
00:36:16,240 --> 00:36:18,160
At first, I felt like I was the
luckiest man,
417
00:36:18,240 --> 00:36:20,680
even the backstairs
had an elevator,
418
00:36:20,800 --> 00:36:21,960
it went to the 7th floor
419
00:36:22,040 --> 00:36:24,520
I lived one floor above,
it was practical.
420
00:36:24,840 --> 00:36:26,200
My room was extremely cold,
421
00:36:26,280 --> 00:36:29,680
when I went out, the first thing I
saw was the Eiffel Tower.
422
00:36:30,920 --> 00:36:32,520
Imagine that,
it seemed miraculous to me,
423
00:36:32,560 --> 00:36:34,720
I'd dreamt of the Eiffel Tower
so much.
424
00:36:36,280 --> 00:36:37,800
I worked depending on what I found,
425
00:36:37,880 --> 00:36:40,440
I remember
a plastic objects factory.
426
00:36:40,960 --> 00:36:43,200
Locked eight hours a day
in this junk garden
427
00:36:43,280 --> 00:36:45,000
for 50 000 francs a month.
428
00:36:45,760 --> 00:36:48,160
But I still did it,
because I was free.
429
00:36:48,280 --> 00:36:50,880
I chose to do it,
and then there was Paris.
430
00:36:51,600 --> 00:36:53,280
You love Paris like Geneviève.
431
00:36:53,400 --> 00:36:55,440
Yes, but it's probably not
the same Paris.
432
00:36:55,520 --> 00:36:56,960
There are lots of different Parises,
433
00:36:57,000 --> 00:36:59,600
it's crazy how many strange things
can happen in Paris,
434
00:36:59,720 --> 00:37:01,480
but of course you have
to be led to see them.
435
00:37:01,520 --> 00:37:04,320
The little bourgeois
watching TV after work,
436
00:37:04,440 --> 00:37:07,000
if he could only imagine
what goes on in Pigalle,
437
00:37:07,120 --> 00:37:08,280
his whole face would change.
438
00:37:10,880 --> 00:37:12,400
You can't imagine.
439
00:37:12,920 --> 00:37:14,840
The love of Paris,
it's impossible to explain,
440
00:37:14,920 --> 00:37:16,520
it's just like love.
441
00:37:16,960 --> 00:37:19,600
You can't even imagine
how much I loved Paris,
442
00:37:19,720 --> 00:37:22,520
how I loved being alone
in that big city.
443
00:37:41,600 --> 00:37:44,240
I dreamt of an entire life
of freedom, no commitments.
444
00:37:44,560 --> 00:37:47,720
I liked everything that reminded me
of adventure, of leaving.
445
00:37:48,440 --> 00:37:50,400
I walked everywhere, I watched.
446
00:37:50,920 --> 00:37:53,680
I was crazy about Paris
and my newly found freedom.
447
00:37:53,920 --> 00:37:56,880
I forgot about the cold
and was indifferent to poverty.
448
00:39:16,600 --> 00:39:19,920
After a few months,
I stopped working.
449
00:39:20,280 --> 00:39:21,360
During that time,
450
00:39:21,440 --> 00:39:23,360
I wanted to finish some things,
451
00:39:23,520 --> 00:39:25,080
but it was just like
trying to better understand
452
00:39:25,120 --> 00:39:27,120
that I was so far from it.
453
00:39:27,360 --> 00:39:29,320
I did things
but I was like an actor,
454
00:39:29,400 --> 00:39:30,640
I saw myself doing them.
455
00:40:00,520 --> 00:40:03,680
In Paris, this wanderer's life
I had dreamt of had started.
456
00:40:03,760 --> 00:40:05,280
I stopped working,
457
00:40:05,360 --> 00:40:07,520
and at the same time,
I lost the room I told you about.
458
00:40:07,800 --> 00:40:09,400
I had a luggage
I carried around everywhere
459
00:40:09,440 --> 00:40:12,520
and a portrait of my mother,
my only memory of her.
460
00:40:50,480 --> 00:40:52,800
I lived in gloomy rooms
in sordid hotels
461
00:40:52,880 --> 00:40:55,320
because of poverty,
they all looked alike.
462
00:40:55,560 --> 00:40:57,120
Rooms I sometimes shared
463
00:40:57,200 --> 00:40:59,640
with boys in the same
situation as me.
464
00:40:59,760 --> 00:41:01,480
Sometimes four of us slept in it,
465
00:41:01,640 --> 00:41:03,640
and it's not a record,
it was just temporary for us,
466
00:41:03,680 --> 00:41:06,240
but in my hotel once in Barbès,
467
00:41:06,320 --> 00:41:09,360
an African family of six had been
living there for ten years.
468
00:41:10,160 --> 00:41:12,240
I made the room livable
with books,
469
00:41:12,320 --> 00:41:14,720
a few discs and photos I put up.
470
00:41:22,120 --> 00:41:23,600
Chance encounters too,
471
00:41:23,680 --> 00:41:25,880
sometimes other people's apartments
make you dream of luxury,
472
00:41:25,920 --> 00:41:28,200
with a cinemascope view of Paris.
473
00:41:28,440 --> 00:41:30,920
I knew a lot of people at that time,
very different.
474
00:41:31,040 --> 00:41:33,320
Artists, thugs, bourgeois.
475
00:41:33,440 --> 00:41:36,320
I watched,
I learned to understand.
476
00:41:55,720 --> 00:41:58,440
It was also the period
of lots of cafés.
477
00:41:58,520 --> 00:42:02,040
We could spend hours there
in the heat for little money,
478
00:42:03,160 --> 00:42:06,200
I changed neighborhoods and cafés;
as much as I could.
479
00:42:06,320 --> 00:42:08,080
I escaped anything
that resembled habits,
480
00:42:08,160 --> 00:42:09,800
little peaceful bourgeois,
481
00:42:09,880 --> 00:42:11,840
the fireside, slippers,
482
00:42:11,920 --> 00:42:13,440
and on this, I haven't changed.
483
00:42:17,360 --> 00:42:19,880
But Paris could quickly become
a harsh city.
484
00:42:20,280 --> 00:42:23,560
I had a little spur,
I don't know what exactly,
485
00:42:23,840 --> 00:42:27,320
that's probably when I stopped
being a child.
486
00:42:57,400 --> 00:43:00,360
Finally, I felt like changing lives,
assessing.
487
00:43:00,440 --> 00:43:01,640
I thought about
the service industry.
488
00:43:01,680 --> 00:43:03,600
It was a way like
any other to change.
489
00:43:03,960 --> 00:43:05,960
There, you know everything
about me now.
490
00:43:06,080 --> 00:43:09,000
When my time will be up,
I will work as a journalist.
491
00:43:09,160 --> 00:43:11,520
I read a lot,
I've always loved to write.
492
00:43:11,720 --> 00:43:13,040
I still want to see some countries,
493
00:43:13,080 --> 00:43:15,280
write great stories with pictures.
494
00:43:16,080 --> 00:43:19,480
I would like to meet someone
sincere like that girl,
495
00:43:19,600 --> 00:43:21,040
I think I would know
how to love her.
496
00:43:21,120 --> 00:43:23,320
Yes, you're right,
497
00:43:23,520 --> 00:43:26,080
but that's not the solution for me.
498
00:43:26,320 --> 00:43:29,680
I don't know how to live.
So, love...
499
00:43:46,200 --> 00:43:50,600
Summer is long gone
500
00:43:50,720 --> 00:43:52,400
Poor Greta Garbo!
501
00:43:52,480 --> 00:43:55,640
They think she's a haughty
and disdainful woman.
502
00:43:55,720 --> 00:43:58,040
In reality, she is alone, sad...
503
00:43:58,080 --> 00:43:59,080
Twelve thirty.
504
00:43:59,120 --> 00:44:00,360
And more.
505
00:44:09,520 --> 00:44:14,200
This job is a little monotone...
506
00:44:15,440 --> 00:44:16,720
But I don't care...
507
00:44:21,760 --> 00:44:23,000
Coming to the self?
508
00:44:23,080 --> 00:44:25,760
I'm broke. I'm going to eat
at the tobacco shop.
509
00:44:25,840 --> 00:44:27,240
And I have a letter to write.
510
00:44:47,200 --> 00:44:48,960
La Traversée de l’Apparenzia,
511
00:44:49,040 --> 00:44:50,560
With Delon and Greco.
512
00:44:50,640 --> 00:44:51,760
It ran with Daniel,
513
00:44:51,840 --> 00:44:53,960
we saw Romy Schneider in the street.
514
00:44:54,120 --> 00:44:55,120
Let's go in.
515
00:44:55,200 --> 00:44:57,440
Yes. Because Alain Delon
is the finest.
516
00:45:01,000 --> 00:45:03,880
I know you're only thinking
of one thing.
517
00:45:04,000 --> 00:45:05,840
You only think about leaving.
518
00:45:07,760 --> 00:45:11,280
Then, for us, the time
of indifference must begin.
519
00:45:14,360 --> 00:45:16,360
You don't have anything to say?
520
00:45:16,720 --> 00:45:18,960
Not one explanation?
521
00:45:20,600 --> 00:45:23,120
Not a lie to tell?
522
00:45:31,480 --> 00:45:32,960
I bore you...
523
00:45:34,080 --> 00:45:37,320
Listen, our days will pass,
524
00:45:37,600 --> 00:45:41,360
we will be far away from each other,
you will quickly forget.
525
00:45:41,600 --> 00:45:43,920
That's the kind of man
you are, very quickly.
526
00:45:44,720 --> 00:45:47,720
Me, I'll fall asleep.
527
00:45:48,360 --> 00:45:50,840
Forgetting is a somnolence,
528
00:45:51,320 --> 00:45:54,680
when we wake up, we remember.
529
00:45:57,560 --> 00:46:00,520
Sometimes, I will wake up.
530
00:46:45,360 --> 00:46:48,840
We have already met
without actually meeting.
531
00:46:49,480 --> 00:46:52,240
Don't think it's a trick to try
and flirt with you.
532
00:46:54,880 --> 00:46:58,800
It was in a little café,
close to Etoile
533
00:46:59,200 --> 00:47:00,840
with a big ham sandwich.
534
00:47:00,960 --> 00:47:03,600
It's true. I go there often,
it's close to work.
535
00:47:03,800 --> 00:47:05,120
Yes, I remember.
536
00:47:05,440 --> 00:47:08,600
You were with a young blonde girl
who looked very sad.
537
00:47:08,720 --> 00:47:11,200
It's true, she left for England.
538
00:47:12,080 --> 00:47:14,160
We almost fell in love,
539
00:47:14,240 --> 00:47:15,720
but it didn't work out.
540
00:47:16,200 --> 00:47:18,680
Can I walk with you a little?
541
00:47:32,000 --> 00:47:33,320
Do you like objects?
542
00:47:33,400 --> 00:47:35,480
Yes, I'd like to be a decorator,
543
00:47:35,560 --> 00:47:39,160
find curious objects
from all over the world.
544
00:47:56,120 --> 00:47:58,080
I love objects too,
545
00:47:58,480 --> 00:48:01,200
for the memories they hold inside,
546
00:48:01,560 --> 00:48:03,240
the traces of time.
547
00:48:06,560 --> 00:48:08,600
They also scare me a little,
548
00:48:09,280 --> 00:48:11,760
I feel like I have seen them before.
549
00:48:12,000 --> 00:48:14,560
I often feel like I live
in this strange world
550
00:48:14,640 --> 00:48:17,280
where I know all the faces I meet.
551
00:48:17,520 --> 00:48:19,960
When I arrive in a city
for the first time,
552
00:48:20,120 --> 00:48:23,040
I feel like I already know
the streets, the houses.
553
00:48:23,720 --> 00:48:25,800
I recognize them,
it's very weird,
554
00:48:26,200 --> 00:48:28,880
that's why, when I recognized you,
I asked myself
555
00:48:29,080 --> 00:48:31,760
if it wasn't just the illusion
of having seen you before.
556
00:48:55,160 --> 00:48:58,480
Everything is good at the moment,
and yet, I'm scared.
557
00:49:00,520 --> 00:49:02,520
In the end, you don't know him well.
558
00:49:04,320 --> 00:49:08,040
Living with someone all the time,
is a funny adventure.
559
00:49:09,440 --> 00:49:11,880
And when we succeed,
it's wonderful.
560
00:49:12,040 --> 00:49:14,240
Memories of love,
they come back to you
561
00:49:14,320 --> 00:49:16,320
like whiffs of perfume.
562
00:49:22,760 --> 00:49:23,760
Hello?
563
00:49:25,240 --> 00:49:26,280
Yes?
564
00:49:29,320 --> 00:49:31,280
Hello, yes? I'm listening.
565
00:49:31,360 --> 00:49:33,240
Mr. Thibault is not
in the office this morning.
566
00:49:33,360 --> 00:49:35,360
Hello-pera
567
00:49:35,760 --> 00:49:37,240
- Hello-spital...
568
00:49:37,680 --> 00:49:39,400
- Hello-belisk.
569
00:49:42,160 --> 00:49:43,160
French Navy
570
00:50:09,280 --> 00:50:11,440
- We're singing in the rain...
- The pin!
571
00:50:11,560 --> 00:50:13,280
What a glorious feeling...
572
00:50:14,240 --> 00:50:16,880
"Daniel, in three days,
Paris changed its face,
573
00:50:17,040 --> 00:50:18,360
"it's already spring.
574
00:50:18,520 --> 00:50:21,320
"There are two Parises right now,
the first keeps its winter face,
575
00:50:21,400 --> 00:50:23,440
"the second is heading for summer.
576
00:50:29,040 --> 00:50:30,560
"Now, it's a matter of days,
577
00:50:30,600 --> 00:50:32,400
"everything looks
fine and beautiful to me.
578
00:50:32,520 --> 00:50:35,160
"I think that's happiness,
I'm waiting for you."
579
00:50:42,800 --> 00:50:45,240
"I had a very sad thought yesterday:
580
00:50:45,920 --> 00:50:49,040
"if one day, I am obligated
to never see you again,
581
00:50:49,320 --> 00:50:52,000
"if I had to give up on the love
I have for you,
582
00:50:52,080 --> 00:50:54,960
"I don't know how I could
continue to live.
583
00:50:55,120 --> 00:50:57,880
"Never will I love another man.
584
00:51:05,320 --> 00:51:07,040
"Before falling in love,
585
00:51:07,120 --> 00:51:09,320
"even with the greatest imagination,
586
00:51:09,440 --> 00:51:11,560
"we are incapable of anticipating
what it's like.
587
00:51:11,720 --> 00:51:13,760
"Before knowing you
I looked around me,
588
00:51:13,840 --> 00:51:15,120
"at faces, people,
589
00:51:15,360 --> 00:51:16,800
"I thought, how will I choose,
590
00:51:17,000 --> 00:51:19,960
"I would be tired of a face,
how does everyone do it,
591
00:51:20,160 --> 00:51:22,760
"now, when I see a face,
yours comes to my mind.
592
00:51:23,040 --> 00:51:25,680
"In love, I found answers
to all my questions."
593
00:51:30,520 --> 00:51:35,920
Spring came, Daniel's letters
become scarce.
594
00:51:37,360 --> 00:51:39,000
Finally, it was summer again.
595
00:51:41,160 --> 00:51:43,640
It was not at all like
the previous one.
596
00:51:48,000 --> 00:51:49,560
Then came fall...
597
00:52:15,760 --> 00:52:17,000
Are you going back to Paris?
598
00:52:17,080 --> 00:52:18,080
Yes.
599
00:52:18,960 --> 00:52:20,320
What are you going to do?
600
00:52:20,960 --> 00:52:21,960
I don't know.
601
00:52:24,240 --> 00:52:26,000
And Genevieve, after all?
602
00:52:29,080 --> 00:52:30,800
You know, Genevieve...
603
00:52:31,800 --> 00:52:33,400
Anyway, it's time for you
to make a decision,
604
00:52:33,440 --> 00:52:35,640
unless you're planning
on re-enlisting for five years.
605
00:52:35,720 --> 00:52:37,320
Are you kidding?
606
00:52:38,720 --> 00:52:41,520
Too bad you're not in Paris,
you could talk to her.
607
00:53:06,640 --> 00:53:07,960
I came to say goodbye,
608
00:53:08,040 --> 00:53:10,640
because I wanted to tell you
something.
609
00:53:11,160 --> 00:53:12,320
I like you.
610
00:53:12,720 --> 00:53:15,560
In the end, we were not
as different as we thought.
611
00:53:16,160 --> 00:53:17,880
I'd like to see you again.
612
00:53:18,400 --> 00:53:19,400
Thanks.
613
00:53:19,640 --> 00:53:22,920
If you want, write me,
you have my address,
614
00:53:23,000 --> 00:53:24,160
I'll answer.
615
00:53:38,920 --> 00:53:40,880
Your time, you're going
to the 28, right?
616
00:53:41,000 --> 00:53:42,000
15 minutes.
617
00:53:42,040 --> 00:53:43,160
At number 28, right?
618
00:53:43,240 --> 00:53:46,400
Then go to 15 Berger street.
619
00:53:46,600 --> 00:53:48,320
15 or 20?
620
00:53:48,440 --> 00:53:50,160
It's alley 28.
621
00:53:50,320 --> 00:53:54,000
It's at number 20 sir,
it's in fact number 20, sorry!
622
00:53:57,440 --> 00:54:00,920
Purple 15, go to
101 Philippe Auguste.
623
00:54:01,080 --> 00:54:04,800
Yes sir,
143 Blvd St Germain the Hotel.
624
00:54:04,880 --> 00:54:06,960
14... Hold on I'm checking,
625
00:54:07,040 --> 00:54:09,240
Pierre Charron street,
can you reach it?
626
00:54:09,320 --> 00:54:10,680
Give me some time.
627
00:54:13,280 --> 00:54:14,280
That's right, sir.
628
00:54:15,160 --> 00:54:17,240
No sir, I have a meter to save.
629
00:54:23,760 --> 00:54:27,280
Paris to me had become
but a word, yet...
630
00:54:27,640 --> 00:54:30,360
My twenties at the Royal St Germain
blew up in my face.
631
00:54:47,680 --> 00:54:49,800
Brest was already nothing
but a memory.
632
00:54:50,320 --> 00:54:52,520
Barely gone, almost forgotten.
633
00:54:53,280 --> 00:54:56,520
And these five long years,
what good were they?
634
00:54:56,760 --> 00:54:58,360
I barely changed.
635
00:54:58,560 --> 00:55:00,720
I feel like I have changed
so little.
636
00:55:01,560 --> 00:55:03,440
Five years lost,
637
00:55:03,560 --> 00:55:06,320
oh, five years passed.
638
00:55:06,800 --> 00:55:08,840
Five little years swallowed by time.
639
00:55:08,960 --> 00:55:11,200
We will settle for a common
adultery case,
640
00:55:11,280 --> 00:55:12,960
like everyone.
641
00:55:13,200 --> 00:55:15,120
But it's hard to cheat
642
00:55:15,200 --> 00:55:17,760
on a husband and a wife
who don't deserve it.
643
00:55:17,840 --> 00:55:19,360
They are unworthy of it.
644
00:55:19,480 --> 00:55:21,040
Ah if they deserved it,
645
00:55:21,120 --> 00:55:23,000
I swear that it wouldn't be heavy.
646
00:55:23,360 --> 00:55:24,360
The right,
647
00:55:24,600 --> 00:55:27,360
the duty of every man
who no longer loves a woman
648
00:55:27,440 --> 00:55:30,720
is to run off and love another
immediately!
649
00:55:30,840 --> 00:55:34,600
So that in this sad world
where she is so rare,
650
00:55:34,720 --> 00:55:36,880
a parcel of joy doesn't get lost.
651
00:55:36,960 --> 00:55:38,480
Want to buy a nice rose from me?
652
00:55:38,560 --> 00:55:40,200
- For whom?
- For your fiancée.
653
00:55:40,360 --> 00:55:41,360
I don't have one.
654
00:55:41,400 --> 00:55:43,720
I would like to be
Brigitte Bardot's fiancé.
655
00:55:43,920 --> 00:55:44,920
Goodbye, sir.
656
00:55:46,720 --> 00:55:48,080
Poor girl.
657
00:55:48,520 --> 00:55:51,040
It's all going to end before
even starting.
658
00:55:51,440 --> 00:55:53,120
What if I stayed with her?
659
00:55:53,200 --> 00:55:54,640
What if I allowed myself
to be loved?
660
00:55:55,640 --> 00:55:57,240
I am crazy!
661
00:56:02,880 --> 00:56:04,080
Is it over?
662
00:56:04,160 --> 00:56:05,920
Yes. Since yesterday.
663
00:56:06,200 --> 00:56:07,720
It's about time.
664
00:56:12,280 --> 00:56:13,960
Freedom is beautiful.
665
00:56:15,720 --> 00:56:16,920
I remember you well.
666
00:56:17,000 --> 00:56:19,440
Xandre told me you were from Paris.
667
00:56:20,280 --> 00:56:22,680
And then, I lost sight of you.
668
00:56:23,080 --> 00:56:26,160
I was transferred to Brest,
at the time.
669
00:56:32,040 --> 00:56:33,520
Attractions, variety,
670
00:56:33,960 --> 00:56:35,840
strip, entry 4 Francs.
671
00:56:51,600 --> 00:56:52,800
Sorry, sir.
672
00:56:52,880 --> 00:56:54,800
Could you give me 55 Francs?
673
00:56:54,920 --> 00:56:56,920
I am in a fix.
I have to go home...
674
00:56:57,000 --> 00:56:59,600
I live kind of far. I don't have
a dime to take the subway.
675
00:57:01,880 --> 00:57:04,160
You are at least the fifteenth
person I stopped.
676
00:57:05,200 --> 00:57:06,800
People are not nice.
677
00:57:06,880 --> 00:57:07,920
I don't know.
678
00:57:08,240 --> 00:57:10,080
Some get away from me
when I approach them.
679
00:57:10,160 --> 00:57:11,440
They seemed scared.
680
00:57:11,800 --> 00:57:13,800
55 Francs, these days...
681
00:57:14,560 --> 00:57:16,480
What do you do?
Do you work?
682
00:57:16,920 --> 00:57:19,160
No, not yet.
683
00:57:19,320 --> 00:57:20,680
I'm still looking for my path.
684
00:57:22,040 --> 00:57:24,800
I go to class.
Not often, but I go.
685
00:57:26,280 --> 00:57:27,280
You walk around?
686
00:57:27,440 --> 00:57:29,240
Yes, as often as possible.
687
00:57:29,800 --> 00:57:32,440
I go everywhere.
I watch people, I observe.
688
00:57:32,560 --> 00:57:33,800
I'm interested.
689
00:57:36,160 --> 00:57:37,800
There, here's 100 Francs.
690
00:57:37,960 --> 00:57:39,520
Thanks, you're nice.
691
00:57:39,800 --> 00:57:41,680
I'm going,
to catch my connection.
692
00:57:41,760 --> 00:57:42,760
Goodbye, sir.
693
00:57:46,400 --> 00:57:47,600
All tarts!
694
00:57:48,280 --> 00:57:51,880
Me, my friend, I've been stuck
with a lobster for five years.
695
00:57:53,360 --> 00:57:55,120
Communal everything.
696
00:57:55,560 --> 00:57:57,760
Food, bed,
697
00:57:58,560 --> 00:57:59,720
and laughs.
698
00:58:00,160 --> 00:58:02,720
This morning, she woke up,
699
00:58:03,080 --> 00:58:06,720
a quick once over with a comb,
and poof, she's off.
700
00:58:07,720 --> 00:58:10,360
From gentleman to houseboy.
701
00:58:10,600 --> 00:58:12,600
I left for the United States.
702
00:58:14,040 --> 00:58:16,800
You can't imagine
the excitement I felt.
703
00:58:16,960 --> 00:58:18,200
Oh yes...
704
00:58:18,920 --> 00:58:20,320
One calvados, little prince.
705
00:58:21,920 --> 00:58:24,040
What was I saying?
Oh, yes!
706
00:58:25,080 --> 00:58:27,320
I'm going to talk to him,
that American.
707
00:58:27,440 --> 00:58:29,280
I'm going to tell him I don't agree.
708
00:58:29,360 --> 00:58:31,200
What he did to me was not right.
709
00:58:35,720 --> 00:58:38,400
He should do something for me.
710
00:58:38,680 --> 00:58:39,840
If not, then what...
711
00:58:40,360 --> 00:58:41,560
I go to work?
712
00:58:42,320 --> 00:58:43,640
What a dishonor.
713
00:58:47,040 --> 00:58:49,200
You, my friend, are a pal!
714
00:58:49,360 --> 00:58:51,680
You're more than a pal,
you're a friend.
715
00:59:00,760 --> 00:59:03,120
So I work to pay
for your bottle, sir!
716
00:59:06,520 --> 00:59:09,080
I'll leave the round to you.
717
00:59:10,000 --> 00:59:11,600
Hey, Lulu...
718
00:59:20,000 --> 00:59:21,600
Having returned to Paris,
719
00:59:21,720 --> 00:59:25,080
here's the chapter of the book
where the author could write:
720
00:59:25,720 --> 00:59:27,320
"Five years went by,
721
00:59:27,520 --> 00:59:30,000
"he went back to the setting
where he had spent his teenage years
722
00:59:30,040 --> 00:59:32,560
"and that he had fled for fear
of getting entirely lost in it.
723
00:59:32,720 --> 00:59:34,960
"He notices nothing had changed.
724
00:59:35,040 --> 00:59:37,040
"At the café where he used to go,
725
00:59:37,120 --> 00:59:40,120
"he even thought he recognized
familiar faces
726
00:59:40,200 --> 00:59:42,360
"or others who looked like them.
727
00:59:43,040 --> 00:59:45,920
"He was surprised to have come back
to the scene he had left,
728
00:59:46,000 --> 00:59:47,720
"to that same place he had fled.
729
00:59:47,880 --> 00:59:50,560
"He recognized that sly
and abrupt dizziness
730
00:59:50,680 --> 00:59:53,080
"that felt like a wish to die."
731
00:59:53,640 --> 00:59:57,320
We hadn't finished
to talk about love
732
00:59:58,480 --> 01:00:02,760
We hadn't even finished
smoking our Gitanes...
733
01:00:03,720 --> 01:00:05,960
A merguez with lots of mustard.
734
01:00:07,680 --> 01:00:09,920
Lots of mustard and very hot bread.
735
01:00:15,000 --> 01:00:18,200
Shut them all up,
I want to speak too.
736
01:00:21,640 --> 01:00:23,240
Do you have the time, handsome?
737
01:00:49,200 --> 01:00:52,480
You eat...
We pass the time however we can.
738
01:00:52,560 --> 01:00:56,120
Why aren't there cities
where we can live all night?
739
01:00:56,200 --> 01:00:58,880
It's not even 2 a.m.
and it's dead, it's empty.
740
01:01:02,000 --> 01:01:05,520
Me, sir, I've been to New York,
Tokyo, you can't go any further.
741
01:01:05,640 --> 01:01:08,080
At a certain hour,
people go to sleep.
742
01:01:08,160 --> 01:01:10,160
It's the disease.
They have to go to sleep.
743
01:01:10,240 --> 01:01:11,720
I don't like to sleep!
744
01:01:12,440 --> 01:01:14,160
Sleep is wasted time.
745
01:01:16,280 --> 01:01:17,960
I love night life.
746
01:01:21,400 --> 01:01:23,280
I was with friends,
I left them an hour ago,
747
01:01:23,320 --> 01:01:24,560
they went to sleep.
748
01:01:24,600 --> 01:01:26,040
They love each other,
they're a couple.
749
01:01:26,080 --> 01:01:27,120
They're good together.
750
01:01:29,440 --> 01:01:30,520
I messed everything up.
751
01:01:36,320 --> 01:01:38,400
Oh, I'm not going to tell you
my life story.
752
01:01:39,240 --> 01:01:43,960
I love youth but it's ephemeral,
it passes.
753
01:01:46,280 --> 01:01:48,600
We shouldn't love what's ephemeral.
754
01:01:50,040 --> 01:01:53,960
Well, we must go on,
move forward, carry on.
755
01:01:55,120 --> 01:01:57,960
Slowly, I have to give up on
everything I expected out of life.
756
01:02:22,480 --> 01:02:23,720
Neon lights fade.
757
01:02:24,040 --> 01:02:26,800
It's a sign that morning
is coming in over Pigalle.
758
01:02:27,880 --> 01:02:30,160
I have to go to sleep
to make a decision tomorrow.
759
01:05:32,840 --> 01:05:34,240
Daniel! Daniel!
760
01:05:36,720 --> 01:05:38,160
What time did you get here?
761
01:05:38,360 --> 01:05:39,640
An hour ago.
762
01:05:39,720 --> 01:05:41,120
You just arrived?
763
01:05:43,280 --> 01:05:45,440
Good thing today is Saturday.
764
01:05:54,600 --> 01:05:56,120
Oh, a bride!
765
01:06:00,760 --> 01:06:02,000
Here's your bride.
766
01:06:03,160 --> 01:06:05,480
Oh, I thought she was real.
767
01:06:54,000 --> 01:06:55,080
Listen.
768
01:06:57,960 --> 01:07:00,120
With me, you won't be happy.
769
01:07:03,280 --> 01:07:04,880
Are you crazy?
770
01:07:06,160 --> 01:07:08,440
I meant it when I wrote to you.
771
01:07:09,240 --> 01:07:11,680
And then, I understood, slowly.
772
01:07:12,400 --> 01:07:14,120
I'm not made for this life.
773
01:07:46,840 --> 01:07:48,040
You will forget about me.
774
01:07:49,960 --> 01:07:51,200
Shut up.
775
01:07:59,240 --> 01:08:01,080
You never loved me.
776
01:08:05,760 --> 01:08:07,240
You love nothing.
777
01:08:15,120 --> 01:08:17,480
We would have been good together.
778
01:08:40,600 --> 01:08:42,160
What are you going to do?
779
01:08:45,000 --> 01:08:46,520
I'm leaving.
780
01:08:48,040 --> 01:08:49,480
I don't know where.
781
01:09:04,000 --> 01:09:05,760
I will never forget you.
782
01:09:25,880 --> 01:09:27,200
Leaving is sweet.
783
01:09:35,800 --> 01:09:37,360
Fall is sweet.
784
01:11:33,560 --> 01:11:36,200
"Guy, you will be surprised to learn
785
01:11:36,280 --> 01:11:39,040
"that I write you from a village
in the South, Ramatuelle.
786
01:11:39,160 --> 01:11:41,480
"I only knew the French Riviera
in the summer,
787
01:11:41,560 --> 01:11:43,200
"it's very different during winter.
788
01:11:43,400 --> 01:11:46,440
"Everything is back to reality
peacefully in the sun.
789
01:11:46,520 --> 01:11:48,200
"I really needed that.
790
01:11:48,320 --> 01:11:50,880
"In Paris, I spent two
terrible nights and days.
791
01:11:51,080 --> 01:11:53,400
"Genevieve and I
separated, sadly.
792
01:11:53,800 --> 01:11:56,760
"Guy, like you, I think being loyal
to someone is beautiful.
793
01:11:57,000 --> 01:11:59,560
"But only love can dictate
this kind of attitude.
794
01:11:59,960 --> 01:12:01,880
"I did not love Genevieve,
do you understand?
795
01:12:02,320 --> 01:12:05,160
"However, her love was
so strong and sincere
796
01:12:05,240 --> 01:12:07,800
"that giving it up was becoming
a true sacrifice.
797
01:12:07,920 --> 01:12:09,200
"I could have met her halfway
798
01:12:09,280 --> 01:12:11,360
"and fallen into her love
like a refuge.
799
01:12:11,440 --> 01:12:13,440
"And I think that love
is something else
800
01:12:13,520 --> 01:12:15,920
"and anyway it is not possible
if unrequited.
801
01:12:16,360 --> 01:12:19,120
"I left Paris, I don't want
to live there, it's too hard.
802
01:12:19,400 --> 01:12:20,720
"I know you love Paris,
803
01:12:20,800 --> 01:12:22,880
"but it would be impossible for me
to be happy there.
804
01:12:23,360 --> 01:12:26,000
"I travel,
I arrive in peaceful villages,
805
01:12:26,080 --> 01:12:27,920
"I walk around, I think.
806
01:12:29,960 --> 01:12:32,200
"It's the first time in my life
that I want to say
807
01:12:32,280 --> 01:12:34,360
"these kind of things to anyone.
808
01:12:34,480 --> 01:12:37,920
"By dint of feeling different,
I had taken refuge in solitude.
809
01:12:38,080 --> 01:12:39,920
"It's a difficult attitude.
810
01:12:40,000 --> 01:12:42,160
"You came into my life
at an unexpected time
811
01:12:42,240 --> 01:12:43,840
"in an unexpected way.
812
01:12:43,920 --> 01:12:46,680
"The years in the Navy
are but lost time,
813
01:12:46,760 --> 01:12:49,280
"since there, I discovered the
meaning of the word 'friendship'
814
01:12:49,360 --> 01:12:50,760
"and its importance.
815
01:12:50,880 --> 01:12:52,800
"You will learn to know me better.
816
01:12:52,880 --> 01:12:55,440
"I am not desperate
or anything like that.
817
01:12:55,560 --> 01:12:57,840
"Simply worried and undecided.
818
01:12:58,200 --> 01:12:59,400
"We must learn to live.
819
01:12:59,480 --> 01:13:02,080
"When we want to change everything
and for everything to be different,
820
01:13:02,120 --> 01:13:04,560
"we become original, singular,
821
01:13:04,640 --> 01:13:06,720
"and we can seem crazy to others.
822
01:13:06,800 --> 01:13:08,000
"I am not crazy.
823
01:13:08,080 --> 01:13:10,520
"I think everybody dreams of doing
whatever they want.
824
01:13:10,640 --> 01:13:12,240
"I am going to travel
because that allows me,
825
01:13:12,280 --> 01:13:13,280
"thanks to a change of scenery,
826
01:13:13,320 --> 01:13:15,120
"to find a fresh point of view.
827
01:13:15,200 --> 01:13:16,600
"A child's point of view.
828
01:13:16,840 --> 01:13:18,760
"I am going to work to be free.
829
01:13:18,920 --> 01:13:21,800
"Free to keep the right
to choose, to change,
830
01:13:21,880 --> 01:13:24,000
"to be different,
therefore to be myself.
831
01:13:24,360 --> 01:13:26,920
"What is beautiful in life
is that everything always changes
832
01:13:27,000 --> 01:13:29,480
"and being able to change
is also a given.
833
01:13:29,640 --> 01:13:31,200
"Your friend, Daniel."
