Le Navire Night
Réalisatrice/ Director : Marguerite Duras
Cast : Bulle Ogier, Mathieu Carriere, Dominique Sanda
Synopsis
Chaque nuit, à Paris, des centaines d'hommes et de femmes utilisent l'anonymat de lignes téléphonique non attribuées qui datent de
l'occupation allemande, pour se parler, s'aimer. Ces gens, ces naufragés de l'amour du désir, se meurent d'aimer, de sortir du gouffre de la
solitude. Ces gens qui crient la nuit dans le gouffre se donnent tous les rendez-vous. Ces rendez-vous ne sont jamais suivis de rencontres.
Il suffit qu'ils soient pris. Personne n'y va. C'est l'appel lancé dans le gouffre, le cri qui déclenche la jouissance. Ou peut-etre l'autre
cri - la réponse. Quelqu'un crie. Quelqu'un répond qu'il a entendu le cri. C'est un orgasme noir. Sans toucher réciproque. Sans visage. Les
yeux fermés. La voix seule. Le texte des voix dit les yeux fermés. L'histoire est arrivée ? - Quelqu'un dit l'avoir vécue en réalité, oui.
Et puis elle a été racontée par d'autres. Et puis elle a été rédigée. Et puis écrite.
Every night, in Paris, hundreds of men and women use old anonymous phone lines from the German occupation to communicate and love. These
people, wrecks of love and desire, are dying to love and exist the depths of their loneliness. These people yell in the night and plam
meet-ups. These dates are neve followed by in-person meetings. They only need to be taken. No one ever goes. Bliss comes from that call
sent in the void. Or maybe it comes from the other scream - the answer. Someone screms. Someone answers, saying they have heard that
scream. It is a dark orgasm. With no reciprocrated touches. No faces. Eyes closed. A lonely voice. Has this story happened? Someone says
they have experienced it. It was then told by others. It was then redacted, and finally written down.
