Marc - Episode 1 - Your Film Festival Entry

An original idea for Your Film Festival Have you ever dreamt of influencing the course of a story? See you at the end of this episode I don't know I've got to go, sorry, talk later Tuscan cabernet Good choice I really must take you to Italy There are so many beautiful things to explore, to taste We could even celebrate our first anniversary there You look stunning Thanks It's nice short. It shows off your eyes Stop it, you'll make me blush I read somewhere that sixty percent of men were more attracted by women with short hair Since when do you notice anything but *** and bums? In medieval Japan, a naked neck was the most *** thing imaginable That's why geishas wore kimonos low cut at the back, which displayed the curve of the backbone We westerners have no imagination But believe me: short hair is the miniskirt of the twenty-first century The miniskirt of the twenty-first century? If I'd known, I'd have cut them shorter And what do women like? Women like to be considered. As much by the man on the street as by their lover In fact I think nothing excites a woman more than the gaze of a stranger An unknown onto whom she can project all her fantasies and desires What kind of fantasies? The fantasy of the man who comes into her life, seduces her... ...and disappears... ...unnoticed Hi sweetheart. Sorry, I came as quick as I could, I thought I'd never make it - It doesn't matter, I... - What? Nothing That was the first time you'd talked to her? I’ve just told you. Never seen her before I just saw her sitting alone, and I couldn’t resist Very well And what about the following day? A day like any other. I went to the office What’s up? I don’t know what to do, I’m going to crash and burn at this interview If I don’t have something solid by eleven Ignace will tear me to bits I’ll send you a couple of questions, just use those Really? Black one sugar? Thanks Right, back to work. See you at the editorial meeting How’s Paolo? How did you know? You should be more discreet when you call Italy from the office Are you jealous by any chance? Don’t worry. Your secret’s safe - Nice scarf - Matches your necklace - Here’s your mail - Thanks For the editorial meeting: Ignace would like you to present tomorrow’s news I told him you’d be delighted to Also, there was *** last night. A city bigwig apparently - I printed the police statement for you - Thanks, I’ll take care of it - What would I do without you? - A burnout, probably It doesn't matter! Who did you have lunch with? Nobody I got a sandwich and headed for the park. Alone Once in the park, I sat, and ate That woman with the birds, you know her don’t you? Never seen her. We didn’t even talk Right... And your afternoon? You see, the overwhelming power of books is that they do not just replicate life If that were all, they would not be works of art. They transform it, they remake it, they recreate it It is a kind of rivalry with the Creator. Artists, I believe, are talented gods And then books are not just what they tell you, they are what their writing, from page to page, generates within you You are their extension, you are the written word, or the sound of that word It may well be so too with people. If you were to meet someone today I am convinced that it is not who they are that would matter to you It is what they seem to be, through what you will them to be It is what they extend within you of themselves And it is perhaps a part of their identity that your own manipulation will have altered And I suppose you don’t know him either You’re not going to believe me are you? Well no I just wanted to hear what he wanted to share After that, I went home I remember perfectly: it was 9pm on the dot I made myself a wonderful little telly dinner, club sandwich, the works And I reopened a bottle of wine from the night before, a Tuscan cabernet I love that wine And I watched a movie, one of those comedy duds they used to make with those two actors... ...What were they called?... ...Terence Hill and Bud Spencer, that’s it And that’s all you did? Yes. Food. TV. Bed. I was tired Look. Whoever you are I’m not going to repeat this a thousand times I do not know those people! WHO'S KNOCKING AT THE DOOR? Vincent - The interrogator :-) @Vincent: Too obvious! A neighbor? Love this concept!!! I'd like it to be an accomplice Thanks Julie82, episode 2 is online!
