Céline commenting the second ending of Portrait, which is also the last scene they shot for the film
(@bereaving is the best, thank you for the beautiful GIFS!!)
“First flashback. There’s almost humor here, in that big scene with extras, shot in a studio. It’s the reconstitution of the Louvre, with a lot of extras. It’s like the movie we could have done instead.
The painting in front of Marianne represents the arch, the beach. She’s dressed herself in the colors of Orpheus, and Eurydice wears a white dress.”
*This Orpheus is very good, your father is in shape. - it’s my painting, I submitted it in his name.*
“A bit of mansplaining here”
*Usually, he’s portrayed before he turns around, or after as Eurydice dies. Here, they seemed to be saying goodbye.*
“I always wonder if the audience really think they’ll see Héloïse. I don’t think they do. I think they know it’s a painting.
It’s the very last shot of the film, Noémie looking at this painting.”
*page 28 appears*
“The first blow to the heart, this page 28. This lovers’ language, which is also the film’s language. In that sequence, this language is spoken at the same time by the film, the lovers and the audience. That’s why we do this work.”
