[music continues]

00:01:08,760 --> 00:01:10,600
[narrator]
Henri is one year old.
4
00:01:11,680 --> 00:01:13,280
He's lying on the floor.
5
00:01:14,080 --> 00:01:16,840
His diapers are
dirty, he is bawling.
6
00:01:18,040 --> 00:01:20,400
His mother's
walking back and forth
7
00:01:20,440 --> 00:01:23,680
her heels clicking
against the tiles of the floor
8
00:01:24,160 --> 00:01:26,520
looking for her
bra and her skirt.
9
00:01:27,280 --> 00:01:30,680
She is in a hurry to go
to her evening rendezvous.
10
00:01:31,760 --> 00:01:33,760
This little thing,
covered with shit
11
00:01:34,120 --> 00:01:35,880
moving around on the tiles
12
00:01:36,560 --> 00:01:38,000
exasperates her.
13
00:01:38,920 --> 00:01:41,120
She begins to cry herself.
[baby crying]
14
00:01:42,640 --> 00:01:44,600
Henri bawls all the more.
15
00:01:45,720 --> 00:01:48,600
Then, she goes out.
[door closes]
16
00:01:51,480 --> 00:01:54,240
Henri has got
off to a good start
17
00:01:55,200 --> 00:01:57,000
in his career as a poet.
18
00:02:02,200 --> 00:02:05,280
[slow jazz music]
19
00:02:19,200 --> 00:02:22,200
[slow jazz music]
20
00:02:56,560 --> 00:02:58,680
The first step for the poet
21
00:02:59,320 --> 00:03:00,440
is to return
22
00:03:00,800 --> 00:03:01,840
to the origin
23
00:03:02,960 --> 00:03:03,960
that is
24
00:03:04,280 --> 00:03:05,280
to suffering.
25
00:03:06,840 --> 00:03:08,800
All suffering is good.
26
00:03:10,440 --> 00:03:12,800
All suffering is useful.
[rock music]
27
00:03:14,240 --> 00:03:15,240
All suffering
28
00:03:16,000 --> 00:03:17,640
is a universe.
29
00:03:19,760 --> 00:03:23,480
[speaking French]
30
00:03:33,520 --> 00:03:36,560
[rock music]
31
00:03:52,360 --> 00:03:55,920
The song that
became Open Up and Bleed.
32
00:03:56,680 --> 00:03:58,400
I don't know where it came from.
33
00:03:58,760 --> 00:04:00,920
But somehow
34
00:04:01,480 --> 00:04:03,160
I had a habit in life
35
00:04:03,240 --> 00:04:04,600
that when I was uncomfortable
36
00:04:04,680 --> 00:04:06,360
I'd start to scratch myself
37
00:04:06,920 --> 00:04:09,360
or poke myself with a drumstick.
38
00:04:10,200 --> 00:04:11,200
And
39
00:04:12,520 --> 00:04:15,040
the words mean
more than that, though.
40
00:04:15,120 --> 00:04:16,120
It means that
41
00:04:16,360 --> 00:04:18,600
finally, you're not
getting what you need.
42
00:04:18,680 --> 00:04:20,000
All the things you need
43
00:04:20,320 --> 00:04:21,640
you're not getting those things.
44
00:04:21,720 --> 00:04:22,880
Instead, you're getting
45
00:04:23,280 --> 00:04:26,400
pushed and shoved
and people trying to buy you.
46
00:04:26,880 --> 00:04:27,880
And
47
00:04:28,560 --> 00:04:31,320
people, not life
or some, no, people
48
00:04:31,640 --> 00:04:33,280
other fucking people
49
00:04:33,840 --> 00:04:35,520
are insulting you
50
00:04:35,840 --> 00:04:37,680
and you know they're cheap
51
00:04:38,440 --> 00:04:39,440
but they win
52
00:04:40,120 --> 00:04:41,720
and you can't do
anything about it.
53
00:04:42,360 --> 00:04:45,440
[traffic sounds]
54
00:04:52,240 --> 00:04:53,360
[tin can clattering]
55
00:04:54,520 --> 00:04:57,560
[traffic sounds]
56
00:05:05,040 --> 00:05:06,640
[lighter clicking]
57
00:05:10,920 --> 00:05:12,480
[speaking French]
58
00:05:50,720 --> 00:05:51,760
[doors creaking]
59
00:05:52,000 --> 00:05:55,080
[dramatic music]
60
00:05:55,760 --> 00:05:57,800
[speaking French]
61
00:06:02,840 --> 00:06:05,320
[music continues]
62
00:06:06,600 --> 00:06:08,880
[speaking French]
63
00:06:29,960 --> 00:06:32,960
[weeping softly]
64
00:06:37,080 --> 00:06:40,120
[melancholic music]
65
00:06:43,560 --> 00:06:46,080
[speaking French]
66
00:06:47,520 --> 00:06:50,560
[sniffing]
67
00:06:54,160 --> 00:06:55,600
[speaking French]
68
00:07:01,000 --> 00:07:03,520
[music continues]
69
00:07:03,840 --> 00:07:06,600
Do not pursue
knowledge for its own sake.
70
00:07:08,960 --> 00:07:11,840
All that does not
proceed directly from emotion
71
00:07:12,800 --> 00:07:15,520
is, in poetry, of no value.
72
00:07:19,040 --> 00:07:20,040
Emotion
73
00:07:20,320 --> 00:07:22,960
breaks the causal chain.
74
00:07:23,000 --> 00:07:26,080
[music continues]
75
00:07:27,720 --> 00:07:29,080
It alone is capable
76
00:07:29,440 --> 00:07:32,280
of making possible
the perception of things
77
00:07:32,880 --> 00:07:33,880
in themselves.
78
00:07:35,560 --> 00:07:37,400
The transmission
of this perception
79
00:07:37,480 --> 00:07:39,400
is the object of all poetry.
80
00:07:40,040 --> 00:07:41,080
[speaking French]
81
00:07:53,600 --> 00:07:55,760
[reading in French]
82
00:08:45,120 --> 00:08:48,160
[fast-paced jazz music]
83
00:09:10,520 --> 00:09:12,720
[narrator] Do
not forget psychiatrists
84
00:09:13,080 --> 00:09:15,360
who have a very disposable power
85
00:09:15,400 --> 00:09:17,240
to grant sick leave.
86
00:09:18,880 --> 00:09:19,880
However
87
00:09:20,800 --> 00:09:23,880
a prolonged stay
at a psychiatric hospital
88
00:09:24,240 --> 00:09:26,040
is to be proscribed
89
00:09:27,120 --> 00:09:28,520
too destructive.
90
00:09:29,440 --> 00:09:30,680
One should use this
91
00:09:30,840 --> 00:09:32,520
only as a last resort
92
00:09:34,640 --> 00:09:37,200
as an
alternative to destitution.
93
00:09:39,480 --> 00:09:40,560
[speaking in French]
94
00:10:26,440 --> 00:10:28,440

[mechanical breathing]
96
00:11:26,640 --> 00:11:28,680
[narrator]
Mark is ten years old.
97
00:11:29,520 --> 00:11:32,640
His father is dying
of cancer in the hospital.
98
00:11:34,480 --> 00:11:37,440
This pile of worn machinery with
99
00:11:37,600 --> 00:11:39,880
tubes going down the throat and
100
00:11:40,360 --> 00:11:41,880
intravenous drips
101
00:11:44,680 --> 00:11:45,960
this is his father.
102
00:11:47,080 --> 00:11:49,000
Only his eyes are alive
103
00:11:50,160 --> 00:11:52,280
They express suffering and fear.
104
00:11:54,040 --> 00:11:55,600
Mark suffers, too.
105
00:11:56,200 --> 00:11:57,600
He, too, is afraid.
106
00:12:01,040 --> 00:12:02,360
He loves his father.
107
00:12:03,880 --> 00:12:04,960
And at the same time
108
00:12:05,000 --> 00:12:07,680
he is beginning to wish
that his father would die
109
00:12:08,400 --> 00:12:10,120
and to feel guilty about it.
110
00:12:11,520 --> 00:12:12,960
Mark has work to do.
111
00:12:13,960 --> 00:12:16,560
He should cultivate
in himself this suffering
112
00:12:16,920 --> 00:12:18,240
this most holy guilt
113
00:12:18,920 --> 00:12:21,240
so particular and so fertile.
114
00:12:22,440 --> 00:12:25,520
[mechanical breathing continues]
115
00:12:39,680 --> 00:12:41,160

[melancholic piano music]
117
00:13:55,760 --> 00:13:57,120
[narrator] This is Vincent.
118
00:13:57,480 --> 00:13:59,640
He is 53 years old.
119
00:14:00,600 --> 00:14:03,560
Once, he was
a promising sculptor
120
00:14:03,840 --> 00:14:06,480
with exhibitions
in Paris, New York
121
00:14:06,520 --> 00:14:08,320
and documented in Castle.
122
00:14:09,440 --> 00:14:12,480
Now he still lives in
the house where he grew up
123
00:14:12,880 --> 00:14:14,760
and hardly ever leaves home.
124
00:14:18,160 --> 00:14:20,800
The problem of
where you spend your life
125
00:14:20,840 --> 00:14:23,120
will generally
not present itself.
126
00:14:23,160 --> 00:14:25,080
You will live where you can.
127
00:14:25,160 --> 00:14:28,240
[music continues]
128
00:14:30,120 --> 00:14:34,240
Vincent is continuously
working on something mysterious
129
00:14:34,440 --> 00:14:36,240
in the cellar of the house.
130
00:14:36,680 --> 00:14:40,520
An art installation
that nobody has ever seen
131
00:14:40,920 --> 00:14:43,800
called The Secret of Life.
132
00:14:45,040 --> 00:14:47,520
Vincent is a heavy case.
133
00:14:49,320 --> 00:14:50,440
[speaking French]
134
00:16:14,240 --> 00:16:15,320
[lighter flicking]

[speaking French]
142
00:20:13,120 --> 00:20:14,960
Michel is 15.
143
00:20:15,640 --> 00:20:18,040
He has never
been kissed by a girl.
144
00:20:19,240 --> 00:20:21,200
He'd like to dance with Sylvie
145
00:20:21,400 --> 00:20:23,720
but Sylvie is
dancing with Patrice
146
00:20:24,200 --> 00:20:27,120
and she is
manifestly enjoying it.
147
00:20:28,040 --> 00:20:29,040
He is frozen.
148
00:20:30,000 --> 00:20:33,520
The music penetrates to
the deepest core of his being.
149
00:20:34,280 --> 00:20:37,000
It is a
magnificent slow dance of
150
00:20:37,360 --> 00:20:38,560
surreal beauty.
151
00:20:41,240 --> 00:20:43,480
He never knew
he could suffer so much.
152
00:20:44,320 --> 00:20:47,080
His childhood up
until now had been happy.
153
00:20:49,000 --> 00:20:50,560
Michel will never forget
154
00:20:51,000 --> 00:20:52,920
the contrast between his heart
155
00:20:53,600 --> 00:20:55,000
frozen with suffering
156
00:20:55,240 --> 00:20:57,560
and the overwhelming
beauty of the music.
157
00:20:59,840 --> 00:21:00,960
His sensibility
158
00:21:01,320 --> 00:21:02,520
is being formed.
159
00:21:03,640 --> 00:21:06,680
[slow love song]
160
00:21:13,880 --> 00:21:15,560
[narrator] In the tunnel of life
161
00:21:15,720 --> 00:21:17,840
always be the loser.
162
00:21:19,840 --> 00:21:22,840
The universe is
like a discotheque.
163
00:21:23,640 --> 00:21:25,680
Accumulate frustrations
164
00:21:25,840 --> 00:21:27,160
in great number.
165
00:21:28,680 --> 00:21:32,040
And always return to the origin
166
00:21:32,680 --> 00:21:34,200
which is suffering.
167
00:21:34,760 --> 00:21:37,800
[song continues]
168
00:21:48,280 --> 00:21:50,080
When you provoke in others
169
00:21:50,240 --> 00:21:53,680
a mixture of
horrified pity and contempt
170
00:21:54,320 --> 00:21:57,160
you will know that
you're on the right track.
171
00:21:57,960 --> 00:21:59,680
You can begin to write.
172
00:22:09,680 --> 00:22:12,760
[staccato guitar music]

[music continues]
174
00:22:53,360 --> 00:22:57,520
[narrator] You will emit,
at first, inarticulate cries.
175
00:22:58,560 --> 00:23:00,280
And you will often be tempted
176
00:23:00,360 --> 00:23:02,280
to regress to that stage.
177
00:23:03,280 --> 00:23:04,640
This is normal.
[music continues]
178
00:23:07,000 --> 00:23:09,960
Plunge again
into inarticulate cries
179
00:23:10,000 --> 00:23:11,840
each time you feel the need.
180
00:23:13,840 --> 00:23:15,760
If you do not succeed
181
00:23:16,320 --> 00:23:18,720
in articulating your suffering
182
00:23:19,400 --> 00:23:21,400
within a well-defined structure
183
00:23:22,400 --> 00:23:23,880
you are done for.
184
00:23:25,360 --> 00:23:28,200
Suffering will swallow you whole
185
00:23:28,960 --> 00:23:30,480
from the inside
186
00:23:31,320 --> 00:23:34,640
before you've had the time
to create anything at all.

[music continues]
188
00:23:45,960 --> 00:23:46,960
Structure
189
00:23:47,520 --> 00:23:48,880
is the sole means
190
00:23:49,600 --> 00:23:51,360

but let it
remain present to you.
208
00:27:05,000 --> 00:27:06,200
You should acquire

I sang the blues in

was embarrassed for me

412
00:49:10,040 --> 00:49:12,720
And I went to see a
Doors concert one night

01:00:48,040 --> 01:00:50,720
Performing arts shouldn't
be a movement, you know.
569
01:00:52,080 --> 01:00:54,200
I mean, even when it's a protest
570
01:00:54,400 --> 01:00:55,400
it should be
571
01:00:56,480 --> 01:00:57,760
individual protest.
572
01:00:59,320 --> 01:01:01,840
Possibly maybe I'm
a bit too strict on this
573
01:01:02,160 --> 01:01:04,000
-point.
-That's no problem.
574
01:01:05,360 --> 01:01:06,360
I'll tell you
575
01:01:08,000 --> 01:01:10,480
that was a very
painful time for me.
576
01:01:11,920 --> 01:01:14,040
They all dressed up
in the same clothes
577
01:01:14,120 --> 01:01:15,520
and marched all over me.
578
01:01:17,160 --> 01:01:18,480
Like a pack of dogs.
579
01:01:19,040 --> 01:01:20,040
What could I do?
580
01:01:20,720 --> 01:01:24,040
I'd already been in and
out of mental institutions.
581
01:01:25,240 --> 01:01:27,920
I was just one
person, what could I do?
582
01:01:28,120 --> 01:01:31,560
How could I be that?
How can you cope?
583
01:01:33,080 --> 01:01:34,080
No truth.
584
01:01:35,240 --> 01:01:38,360
No love. No nothing. Bullshit.
585
01:01:47,440 --> 01:01:48,440
In my case
586
01:01:51,000 --> 01:01:53,600
unfortunately I
have to be alone.
587
01:02:01,560 --> 01:02:03,400
I'm curious about the work.
588
01:02:03,960 --> 01:02:05,240
We can have a look.
589
01:02:05,480 --> 01:02:08,840
Just have to go
downstairs and I will show you.
590
01:02:09,440 --> 01:02:10,440
I think
591
01:02:11,480 --> 01:02:12,480
you will
592
01:02:12,680 --> 01:02:14,400
it will be more
clear what I mean.
593
01:02:16,520 --> 01:02:17,520
Shall we go?
594
01:02:17,640 --> 01:02:19,640
Yeah. Let's go.
595
01:02:23,320 --> 01:02:24,480
I have a feeling
596
01:02:24,880 --> 01:02:26,840
something is
about to happen here.
597
01:02:56,320 --> 01:02:58,920
When I did break
some of the walls and
598
01:02:59,240 --> 01:03:01,560
and then I have
twenty meter inside.
599
01:03:13,040 --> 01:03:16,160
[mechanical sounds]
600
01:03:21,000 --> 01:03:24,000
[contemporary love song]
601
01:03:45,600 --> 01:03:47,480
[mechanical sounds continue]
602
01:03:56,680 --> 01:03:59,720
[song continues]
[mechanical sounds continue]
603
01:04:05,600 --> 01:04:08,640
[mechanical sounds fade]
604
01:04:12,800 --> 01:04:15,840
[slow piano music]
605
01:04:32,760 --> 01:04:35,800
[sad vintage German song]
606
01:05:04,640 --> 01:05:07,640
[song continues]
607
01:05:24,960 --> 01:05:28,000
[soft emotional music]
608
01:06:00,000 --> 01:06:03,000
[music continues]
609
01:06:20,200 --> 01:06:23,240
[music fades]
610
01:06:32,520 --> 01:06:35,560
[melancholic music]
611
01:06:38,760 --> 01:06:40,440
[narrator] As you
approach the truth
612
01:06:41,080 --> 01:06:43,160
your solitude will increase.
613
01:06:45,200 --> 01:06:47,600
You are walking
through empty halls
614
01:06:48,520 --> 01:06:51,440
which send back to you
the echo of your footsteps.
615
01:06:53,160 --> 01:06:56,120
The objects seem
turned to statues.
616
01:06:57,560 --> 01:06:59,320
At times you begin to weep.
617
01:07:00,040 --> 01:07:01,720
You would love to turn back.
618
01:07:02,680 --> 01:07:05,920
But ultimately you know
that it is already too late.
619
01:07:07,000 --> 01:07:08,680
Kiss the earth, you scum.
620
01:07:11,560 --> 01:07:12,560
[narrator] Continue.
621
01:07:13,080 --> 01:07:14,080
Have no fear.
622
01:07:15,480 --> 01:07:17,200
The worst is already past.
623
01:07:18,560 --> 01:07:19,560
To be sure
624
01:07:20,680 --> 01:07:22,360
life will tear you apart again.
625
01:07:24,360 --> 01:07:25,600
From your point of view
626
01:07:25,680 --> 01:07:29,040
you even don't really have
that much more to do with life.
627
01:07:31,080 --> 01:07:32,080
Remember this.
628
01:07:33,680 --> 01:07:36,120
Fundamentally,
you are already dead.
629
01:07:37,760 --> 01:07:40,040
You are now face
to face with eternity.
630
01:07:40,080 --> 01:07:43,080
[music continues]
631
01:07:53,760 --> 01:07:54,760
Poets!
632
01:07:55,560 --> 01:07:56,560
Attack.
633
01:07:56,680 --> 01:07:59,760
[fast-paced ending music]
