by and with Jane Birkin...
...a house somewhere in Brittany, by the sea...a woman among boxes...and life , memories coming back, men she loves, children she had, parents, old friends and acquaintances...dialogues sometimes in English, sometimes in French...
... and I laughed and cried, cried as much as the woman sitting behind me...a beautiful film, really moving and deep...I read somewhere: "you must know Jane Birkin's life well to understand it"...It's not true...I do know part of her biography, but there's much more in the film...
the story of women...relationships between women and daughters...one of the strongest sentence is:
"Ma, am I pretty? Am I what you expected me to be?"
we all wish to ask our mum that question...
we all wish her to answer: "yes"...even if she lies...
but what will our answer be when children ask us...
such terrible question, so difficult...so full of hope and fear...
all our life lies here...
and actresses, such extraordinary women, naked and old and thin and young and so beautiful and such poor bodies...and alhzeimer near, and napkins for old ones...naked bodies wearing scars and spots and wrinkles...but so extraordinary beautiful...so dignified...
Thank you Jane, thank you so much...
