Quote
Autobiography series.
“I think about Fragments de l’ange and the sequence with Françoise and Ermina in the countryside, I ask myself how to “justify” it in the whole film and I say to myself that the text could say: “The angel leads me to… “that is, the angel is all words, it is synonymous with language. The angel is the word in the unconscious state or rather it is the voice of the conscience, voice that determines our conduct, our demand in life. The angel is the shadow, the negative of the image, the other self of the image, the deep voice of the flesh; it is a thousand arrows embedded in the frame of reality. Arrow: seam, collure”.
