Je t’aime totalement, tendrement, tragiquement.

Ok, so I just had my first screening of my semester-long project. I figured I would use my Tumblr as a space to document my stream of consciousness as I watch this film over & over again, and what better way to start this journey than with a clip of the opening scene?

So, initial reaction: the bitterness in this film is deeper than any kind I have ever seen. Like, seriously, that line when Paul asks Camille to tell him why she despises him, and she responds with “I wouldn’t tell you that even if I were dying”…? That is just some downright hatred, and to think that it started out with this touching scene…!

I’m sure the film’s psychological descent is just nuanced in saturated, artistic vision, but for now, relish in my sweeping thoughts! I’ll get to the nitty gritty later as the days, weeks, & months pass.
