Christian de Chalonge – “Histoires insolites” Parcelle brillante (1974)

Living like a primate walled in solitude, Joseph, the train cleaner, goes home on a rainy night. On a sidewalk, a human form lies in blood and mud. Joseph lifts this injured body like a feather, takes it home, nurses it and “repairs” it with skillful hands. The young woman recovers her strenght and becomes the “shining part” of his poor existence. Until the day where…

Primate muré dans sa solitude, Joseph, le laveur de trains, rentre chez lui par une nuit pluvieuse. Sur un trottoir, une forme git dans le sang et la boue. Joseph soulève ce corps blessé comme une plume, l’emporte chez lui, le soigne et le “répare” de ses mains habiles. La jeune femme reprend des forces et devient la “parcelle brillante” de sa pauvre existence. Jusqu’au jour où…

Quote:
It is based on the short story by Theodore Sturgeon, Bright Segment. In his 1984 collection Alien Cargo, Sturgeon said of “Bright Segment”: Surely one of the most powerful stories I have ever written. This was made into a 58-minute TV film in France, with Gert (Goldfinger) Frobe cast as the old man, and doing an extraordinary piece of acting. Further, the French shot it almost exactly the way I wrote it, and I wrote it despairing that it could not be filmed; American TV could never (1955) handle that much blood and that much skin. I wish you could see it. I own the only print in North America, but can’t use it for admission or release it to net or cable.
