Une Vieille Ma tresse The Last Mistress
|
| 00:01:08 |
My dear... |
| 00:01:11 |
You've grasped me by |
| 00:01:14 |
the supreme passion, |
| 00:01:18 |
the cardinal sin of gluttony. |
| 00:01:21 |
Sadly, |
| 00:01:25 |
the only sin left, |
| 00:01:31 |
Indeed! |
| 00:01:53 |
They're the delights of Capua! |
| 00:02:02 |
But Hannibal mustn't linger |
| 00:02:06 |
No, I'll go to Canossa for you. |
| 00:02:09 |
Or more precisely to 46 rue des Carmes, |
| 00:02:14 |
So that species has a name? |
| 00:02:16 |
Yes, she's Spanish, |
| 00:02:19 |
born in 1799 in Malaga, so that... |
| 00:02:25 |
So that... she's 36 years old. |
| 00:02:29 |
A good age to make way for another. |
| 00:02:52 |
Has your best friend |
| 00:02:57 |
What has this Marigny done to her? |
| 00:03:00 |
He's a womanizer |
| 00:03:03 |
I know... |
| 00:03:05 |
And she lets him marry |
| 00:03:08 |
The jewel of the French aristocracy! |
| 00:03:12 |
She, who was always so wise, |
| 00:03:17 |
She should marry him herself! |
| 00:03:19 |
Hold your tongue! |
| 00:03:21 |
It's the talk of the town, |
| 00:03:27 |
Here we are: 46 rue des Carmes! |
| 00:03:34 |
I shall inform the Senora |
| 00:03:36 |
to her beloved Marigny |
| 00:03:40 |
If it managed to dash this marriage, |
| 00:03:44 |
you'd pleasure me more |
| 00:03:46 |
than you ever did. |
| 00:03:54 |
Such ingratitude! |
| 00:04:08 |
Monsieur de Prony! |
| 00:04:10 |
In person. |
| 00:04:17 |
How fares my pretty? |
| 00:04:20 |
- Is the Senora at home to visitors? |
| 00:04:29 |
I'll keep the stick, I need it. |
| 00:04:39 |
Monsieur de Prony, Madame. |
| 00:04:54 |
Well, then... So how is |
| 00:05:00 |
You're just as capricious, Viscount. |
| 00:05:03 |
You used to visit me, |
| 00:05:06 |
You seemed to hold me |
| 00:05:11 |
One fine day, |
| 00:05:16 |
I was taking the waters, my dear. |
| 00:05:22 |
Taking the waters, |
| 00:05:25 |
You're not in earnest, Viscount! |
| 00:05:30 |
Anyway, it hasn't |
| 00:05:33 |
None of us are getting |
| 00:05:39 |
You still see Monsieur de Marigny? |
| 00:05:42 |
Certainly. |
| 00:05:47 |
Is it long since his last visit? |
| 00:05:52 |
He comes when he pleases, he is free... |
| 00:05:56 |
Do many people meet |
| 00:05:59 |
Ten years of a less |
| 00:06:06 |
Neither of us has been faithful. |
| 00:06:09 |
It's been an unusual relationship. |
| 00:06:15 |
With more hate than love. |
| 00:06:17 |
All the better! |
| 00:06:21 |
I'd be sorry to see you unhappy. |
| 00:06:26 |
Are you aware of Monsieur de Marigny's |
| 00:06:30 |
Don't worry, |
| 00:06:32 |
in your world or mine, |
| 00:06:36 |
people ran to tell me! |
| 00:06:39 |
Twice if not once! |
| 00:06:44 |
He'll come back to me, as always! |
| 00:06:48 |
This time it's more than |
| 00:06:55 |
Well... lf you insist, |
| 00:07:00 |
it's a love affair |
| 00:07:04 |
but it's not an ending. |
| 00:07:07 |
An ending to the liaison |
| 00:07:14 |
there is none, Monsieur de Prony! |
| 00:07:25 |
So you're unfaithful tonight, to your |
| 00:07:33 |
You're not at Madame de Flers'? |
| 00:07:36 |
No, sir. Nor are |
| 00:07:38 |
I dined there! |
| 00:08:05 |
What's the matter? |
| 00:08:07 |
Nothing... |
| 00:08:14 |
See how you lie. |
| 00:08:18 |
Leave me, Ryno! |
| 00:08:27 |
- Leave me... |
| 00:08:35 |
Why do you want to escape me? |
| 00:08:38 |
What did that viper of a Viscount say |
| 00:08:45 |
Nothing I didn't already know. |
| 00:08:49 |
It's just that he took |
| 00:08:55 |
You're hurting yourself. |
| 00:08:58 |
You pay too much attention |
| 00:09:04 |
What do they know about you and I? |
| 00:09:08 |
What can they understand about us? |
| 00:09:11 |
Nothing... They understand nothing... |
| 00:09:45 |
He won't come now, it's past midnight. |
| 00:09:51 |
He might yet arrive. |
| 00:09:52 |
What if he did? |
| 00:09:54 |
If he found you here, |
| 00:09:58 |
Where would that get us! |
| 00:10:00 |
Never let men rule you. |
| 00:10:03 |
The most sincere love |
| 00:10:07 |
Your grandmother is right. |
| 00:10:11 |
It's his loss! |
| 00:10:14 |
Go to bed like a good girl, |
| 00:10:17 |
act with coolness toward him. |
| 00:10:34 |
Now she has retired, |
| 00:10:38 |
that she'll be incapable |
| 00:10:41 |
She already loves him too much! |
| 00:10:44 |
What's wrong with loving the man |
| 00:10:48 |
We are not old for nothing, my dear. |
| 00:10:50 |
You know as well as I do |
| 00:10:54 |
the certainty of conquest. |
| 00:10:59 |
That young girls, |
| 00:11:04 |
are taken in, |
| 00:11:06 |
We would never become mothers, |
| 00:11:12 |
But when even grandmothers are fooled |
| 00:11:15 |
by this pitiful comedy of seduction... |
| 00:11:19 |
It's because I'm much |
| 00:11:22 |
I was charmed and |
| 00:11:25 |
and so happy about it, dear Countess, |
| 00:11:28 |
that your bad auguries have |
| 00:11:33 |
What you're saying is most grave! |
| 00:11:36 |
He has turned your head more than hers. |
| 00:11:38 |
Hasn't he! |
| 00:11:39 |
Here, have a cup. |
| 00:11:46 |
To pick you up. |
| 00:11:50 |
It's no laughing matter, I assure you. |
| 00:11:54 |
on the eve of this wedding, |
| 00:11:58 |
to a mere gentleman without title, |
| 00:12:02 |
She's rich enough for both of them! |
| 00:12:04 |
What's more, |
| 00:12:06 |
who has no scruples |
| 00:12:10 |
You and I belong to the age of Laclos! |
| 00:12:13 |
An age when such matters |
| 00:12:16 |
The young people we knew, and loved, |
| 00:12:19 |
were far worse than those of today, |
| 00:12:22 |
and yet we didn't become old maids. |
| 00:12:25 |
Our mothers had the courage |
| 00:12:29 |
and we had the brazen |
| 00:12:33 |
You can speak |
| 00:12:37 |
Hermangarde is prettier than I was, |
| 00:12:40 |
She doesn't have your |
| 00:12:43 |
In love, the first to suffer has lost. |
| 00:12:45 |
She's already trapped. |
| 00:12:47 |
Hermangarde is what I cherish most. |
| 00:12:49 |
Would I let her navigate alone |
| 00:12:53 |
that is men's hearts? |
| 00:12:56 |
This marriage will be my masterpiece. |
| 00:12:59 |
Your masterpiece! |
| 00:13:09 |
Good-bye, my friend! |
| 00:13:14 |
And where might he be this evening? |
| 00:13:17 |
He has a mistress, dear Marquise. |
| 00:13:20 |
He has had for 10 years. |
| 00:13:22 |
Only you and I were |
| 00:13:47 |
I hate you! |
| 00:14:02 |
You'll come back to me, Ryno! |
| 00:14:05 |
I say it without a trace |
| 00:14:10 |
without triumphantjealousy. |
| 00:14:14 |
You'll trample on the girl |
| 00:14:20 |
I've never loved anyone as I love her. |
| 00:14:22 |
Not even you, Vellini! |
| 00:14:26 |
The feelings you stirred |
| 00:14:29 |
she has revived in a heart of thirty, |
| 00:14:39 |
You don't cheat on the one you love |
| 00:14:44 |
Is that what you believe? |
| 00:14:56 |
I warned you this evening |
| 00:15:01 |
So good-bye! |
| 00:15:04 |
May what you say be true... |
| 00:15:09 |
Oliva! |
| 00:15:34 |
M. De Cerisy has |
| 00:15:38 |
Let him wait! Or let him leave! |
| 00:15:42 |
In any case, I'm free. |
| 00:16:32 |
When all Paris was up in arms |
| 00:16:35 |
with Madame de Mendoze and others, |
| 00:16:39 |
he was deceiving them |
| 00:16:45 |
A courtesan on the wane, |
| 00:16:48 |
and rather vulgar, I hear... |
| 00:16:51 |
I'll let you guess |
| 00:16:54 |
Vulgar or not, she must be very crafty |
| 00:16:59 |
from so many women! |
| 00:17:01 |
After too much sweetness, |
| 00:17:04 |
one may appreciate |
| 00:17:07 |
Still, 10 years! |
| 00:17:10 |
Persian marriages only last 7! |
| 00:17:14 |
10 years together without |
| 00:17:18 |
That's unheard of in Paris! |
| 00:17:22 |
I know we're late. |
| 00:17:25 |
If a box is rented by the year |
| 00:19:29 |
Time you retired, my child. |
| 00:19:31 |
I must have a last word |
| 00:19:34 |
This secrecy means you're plotting? |
| 00:19:36 |
Perhaps! |
| 00:19:55 |
Don't be jealous, |
| 00:20:00 |
And you, I permit you |
| 00:20:31 |
What if that was your good-bye kiss? |
| 00:20:34 |
Yes, if it were the last kiss, |
| 00:20:39 |
And I canceled the wedding? |
| 00:20:41 |
What have I done? |
| 00:20:42 |
Nothing! I chose you, |
| 00:20:46 |
But listen, M. De Marigny, |
| 00:20:49 |
so alarming... |
| 00:20:53 |
I was sure of it. |
| 00:20:55 |
When I met Viscount de Prony |
| 00:20:57 |
I know well, I guessed he'd been |
| 00:21:00 |
sent by Countess d'Artelles. |
| 00:21:06 |
She tried hard to stop this marriage! |
| 00:21:10 |
Let's be frank |
| 00:21:12 |
you've been what |
| 00:21:15 |
Even if your heart is |
| 00:21:19 |
you have had an intimate relationship |
| 00:21:25 |
a sort of kept woman, |
| 00:21:27 |
and have lived with her for ten years. |
| 00:21:30 |
That is so. She was my mistress, |
| 00:21:35 |
What? She no longer is? |
| 00:21:37 |
When you're not here, |
| 00:21:40 |
When one is as smitten as I, |
| 00:21:42 |
by someone as sublime as |
| 00:21:48 |
there's no room for other sentiments. |
| 00:21:52 |
I do believe you sincerely love |
| 00:21:55 |
but what if I was unable to believe |
| 00:21:58 |
that you admit to, is indeed finished, |
| 00:22:04 |
when you're still seeing that woman? |
| 00:22:09 |
You would do me great offence. |
| 00:22:11 |
If I gave my word to |
| 00:22:14 |
Miss de Polastron's grandmother, |
| 00:22:19 |
I believe you. |
| 00:22:21 |
When did she cease to be your mistress? |
| 00:22:24 |
A long time ago. |
| 00:22:30 |
But let us be quite clear... |
| 00:22:39 |
I'll be completely frank with you. |
| 00:22:42 |
You're too far above other women |
| 00:22:52 |
It's now a long time since Vellini |
| 00:22:55 |
We separated amicably long |
| 00:23:07 |
But if I were to deny |
| 00:23:09 |
to this woman, my former love... |
| 00:23:16 |
and that each time... |
| 00:23:20 |
I yielded for a few hours |
| 00:23:28 |
then I'd be lying. |
| 00:23:30 |
I see the distinction, and accept it. |
| 00:23:33 |
Still, for Hermangarde, |
| 00:23:37 |
whether you love her or not, |
| 00:23:41 |
The wrong, the danger here is less |
| 00:23:45 |
You're right, |
| 00:23:48 |
The day Viscount de Prony saw me, |
| 00:23:51 |
I said goodbye to Senora Vellini. |
| 00:23:53 |
Why didn't you say so sooner, my boy? |
| 00:23:56 |
You would have eased my mind. |
| 00:23:58 |
Now, I'm reassured. |
| 00:24:01 |
But tell me, |
| 00:24:02 |
Sunday at your wedding? |
| 00:24:05 |
Countess d'Artelles |
| 00:24:10 |
They don't know Vellini. She's too |
| 00:24:17 |
Some may see her as a creature, |
| 00:24:20 |
but she's a woman of great nobility. |
| 00:24:28 |
But I understand why you fear |
| 00:24:35 |
I told you I plan to leave Paris |
| 00:24:41 |
I can promise you it will be for good. |
| 00:24:45 |
I'm not insisting on that! |
| 00:24:47 |
You love Paris too much to |
| 00:24:50 |
I'm not a barbarous |
| 00:24:53 |
the fidelity due her granddaughter. |
| 00:24:56 |
It is Hermangarde I love, |
| 00:24:59 |
and yet... |
| 00:25:04 |
Although everything is |
| 00:25:09 |
being near such a woman |
| 00:25:13 |
I, more than any other, |
| 00:25:19 |
You must have really loved her, |
| 00:25:24 |
Damn herb teas, |
| 00:25:28 |
Lt'll cheer us up. |
| 00:25:49 |
You know I devised |
| 00:25:53 |
I who hate going out, |
| 00:26:00 |
You'd have been disappointed. |
| 00:26:03 |
Vellini doesn'tjustify for many |
| 00:26:08 |
So I've been told, yes! |
| 00:26:10 |
But how did you become one of |
| 00:26:14 |
You're reputed to be |
| 00:26:19 |
The truth is so far from that! |
| 00:26:23 |
For ten years, |
| 00:26:25 |
But we were each other's victims. |
| 00:26:28 |
Sometimes in turn. |
| 00:26:34 |
It's a sad tale. |
| 00:26:35 |
Tell it to me. |
| 00:26:37 |
To what end? |
| 00:26:39 |
What better sign of friendship |
| 00:26:42 |
I, who'll become |
| 00:26:46 |
than the trust of your past? |
| 00:26:48 |
So I know everything about the husband |
| 00:26:52 |
Since you command me... |
| 00:26:58 |
It began ten years ago. |
| 00:27:00 |
I was returning from Baden, |
| 00:27:04 |
There I had surrendered to my taste |
| 00:27:10 |
I was weary, as one is |
| 00:27:18 |
I was at the Opera with a married woman |
| 00:27:20 |
who bestowed her favors on me, |
| 00:27:37 |
I'll be right back. |
| 00:27:57 |
Ryno! |
| 00:28:02 |
What a fine surprise! Sit down! |
| 00:28:08 |
Where were you headed? |
| 00:28:10 |
I was fleeing! |
| 00:28:13 |
If faithful husbands who envy us |
| 00:28:17 |
when their wives, |
| 00:28:23 |
The disillusion and boredom |
| 00:28:27 |
I'm just back from Spain |
| 00:28:29 |
with a horde of curiosities. |
| 00:28:31 |
And one that I'd like you to admire. |
| 00:28:35 |
It's not an object, it's a woman. |
| 00:28:38 |
From Malaga... |
| 00:28:40 |
a capricious who can outstare the sun. |
| 00:28:46 |
How amazing! There she is! |
| 00:28:51 |
- Yet you won't understand... |
| 00:28:54 |
She's a bit..."moorish". |
| 00:28:59 |
Just come to dinner tomorrow. |
| 00:29:03 |
A costume party for them, |
| 00:29:05 |
You'll see what I see in her. |
| 00:29:11 |
The illegitimate child of |
| 00:29:14 |
and a famed Spanish matador... |
| 00:29:17 |
She led a shady life in Seville |
| 00:29:21 |
to a wealthy English baronet! |
| 00:29:30 |
You're not English, |
| 00:29:33 |
that ugly mutt. |
| 00:29:36 |
It'd be pure vice! |
| 00:29:37 |
Beware, your voice carries! |
| 00:29:41 |
Too late! She heard you. |
| 00:30:08 |
Miss Marie-Cornelie Falcone! |
| 00:30:11 |
You're the first! |
| 00:30:13 |
Sir Reginald Annesley, |
| 00:30:17 |
In London we adore you! |
| 00:30:19 |
What are you singing now? |
| 00:30:21 |
I just did "lphigenia". |
| 00:30:23 |
Monsieur Ryno de Marigny! |
| 00:30:27 |
Ryno, you look no different. |
| 00:30:30 |
I hate disguises. |
| 00:30:31 |
You made no effort, that's perfect. |
| 00:30:33 |
Come! |
| 00:30:48 |
Lady Vellini Annesley... |
| 00:30:50 |
Ryno de Marigny. |
| 00:30:54 |
What are you disguised as? |
| 00:30:58 |
I said, what are you disguised as? |
| 00:31:00 |
The Devil! |
| 00:31:33 |
I bought a little knick-knack... |
| 00:31:36 |
A little box. |
| 00:31:38 |
Its lid reminds me strangely |
| 00:31:42 |
Look, pass it around... |
| 00:32:20 |
You hardly looked at it! |
| 00:32:21 |
I so admired you in |
| 00:32:25 |
You're our finest voice. |
| 00:32:27 |
Thank you. |
| 00:32:30 |
What is it? |
| 00:32:34 |
I wore my stage costume, |
| 00:32:37 |
Costume parties are a bore. |
| 00:32:40 |
You came as a she-devil? |
| 00:32:42 |
No, as The Devil! |
| 00:32:46 |
Except in young men, of course. |
| 00:32:48 |
Of course! |
| 00:32:50 |
Like Titian's |
| 00:32:54 |
or Lotto's "Portait of a Young Man". |
| 00:32:59 |
That's my glass! |
| 00:33:02 |
I want to read your thoughts. |
| 00:33:05 |
Not a chance! |
| 00:33:08 |
My blunder has hurt you? |
| 00:33:10 |
Not your "blunder", your "conceit"! |
| 00:33:15 |
Then I won't excuse myself! |
| 00:33:28 |
Well? |
| 00:33:30 |
My dear Count, if you wanted |
| 00:33:35 |
you shouldn't have asked me to dinner! |
| 00:33:37 |
I'll fight you obstinately for her. |
| 00:33:41 |
I accept the challenge! |
| 00:33:44 |
But I warn you: She loathes you. |
| 00:33:48 |
We'll see. |
| 00:35:00 |
If you weren't already wed, |
| 00:35:09 |
But... you're not English |
| 00:35:13 |
to indulge in such folly. |
| 00:35:17 |
It would be pure vice. |
| 00:35:23 |
Spanish women are as vain |
| 00:35:26 |
No. But they sense an insult, |
| 00:35:31 |
and can hate even better |
| 00:35:41 |
Forgive me. |
| 00:35:44 |
It was a premature and silly opinion. |
| 00:35:47 |
Just chatter. |
| 00:35:53 |
I have nothing to forgive you. |
| 00:35:55 |
Likes and dislikes are involuntary! |
| 00:36:23 |
Let me play him. |
| 00:36:52 |
It is my wife who brings me luck... |
| 00:37:35 |
I couldn't avoid |
| 00:37:38 |
that haughty and heartless creature |
| 00:37:43 |
to mock the madness of |
| 00:37:51 |
Sir Reginald Annesley isn't in, sir. |
| 00:37:52 |
I know she's in, I saw her. |
| 00:37:54 |
I have orders to keep you out. |
| 00:37:56 |
Count de Mareuil is a personal friend! |
| 00:38:00 |
Brawling in my house? |
| 00:38:04 |
Let go of Monsieur de Marigny. |
| 00:38:09 |
I've come every day, left my card. |
| 00:38:13 |
The Senora's hatred of you has grown |
| 00:38:16 |
where you changed your mind. |
| 00:38:19 |
She delights in arousing |
| 00:38:22 |
by describing how openly |
| 00:38:25 |
claiming her virtue has been offended. |
| 00:38:29 |
The hussy! |
| 00:38:30 |
So the very polite |
| 00:38:33 |
an amiable baronet, |
| 00:38:35 |
feels he can act, not as a gentleman, |
| 00:38:40 |
- Let me see her. |
| 00:38:44 |
I ruined myself for her. |
| 00:38:46 |
I have but a sou to live on, |
| 00:38:48 |
to see herjust once. |
| 00:38:53 |
You who live beside her, |
| 00:38:56 |
Lt'd be pointless! |
| 00:39:02 |
Or pray to God! |
| 00:39:04 |
At St Gervais Church, at vespers. |
| 00:39:08 |
Spanish ladies are devout. |
| 00:39:13 |
I'll be eternally grateful to you. |
| 00:41:01 |
Go! |
| 00:41:13 |
My pride couldn't offer itself |
| 00:41:16 |
Clearly, she disliked me |
| 00:41:22 |
Every afternoon, |
| 00:41:25 |
at the hour favored by |
| 00:41:29 |
on the off chance of meeting her. |
| 00:41:54 |
Madame... |
| 00:41:56 |
Chance is kinder than you |
| 00:42:00 |
Chance is a fool! |
| 00:42:02 |
What appointment? It's an encounter! |
| 00:42:05 |
That's your path! |
| 00:42:10 |
I'd be a fool to waste |
| 00:42:15 |
Sir Reginald stopped off briefly, |
| 00:42:18 |
he'll be here in an instant. |
| 00:42:22 |
How base to bring up your husband. |
| 00:42:32 |
Say you trust in my repentance. |
| 00:42:36 |
I have only this to say to you |
| 00:42:40 |
for the second time, pass by! |
| 00:42:43 |
You brand so well what is yours, |
| 00:42:46 |
that I crave a second mark. |
| 00:42:48 |
Reginald! |
| 00:42:50 |
That name hurts more than your whip! |
| 00:42:52 |
I'll stifle it on your lips. |
| 00:43:16 |
At four paces, and fire! |
| 00:43:19 |
Not now, sir. |
| 00:43:24 |
Tomorrow at a time of your choosing. |
| 00:43:26 |
At six in the morning, |
| 00:43:31 |
and shall see the punishment. |
| 00:43:34 |
Why not now? |
| 00:43:37 |
I'd have enjoyed seeing |
| 00:43:42 |
Look! |
| 00:43:44 |
She came in person, just to see me die! |
| 00:43:47 |
It's outrageous! |
| 00:43:49 |
I'll chide Sir Reginald about this. |
| 00:43:51 |
A woman has no place here. |
| 00:43:53 |
Do nothing of the sort. |
| 00:43:57 |
The matador's daughter wants blood |
| 00:44:02 |
My witnesses... |
| 00:44:04 |
Monsieur de Marigny asked me first. |
| 00:44:07 |
And Count de Cerisy. |
| 00:44:09 |
Here are mine. |
| 00:44:14 |
I hope my husband kills you. |
| 00:45:12 |
Run for a surgeon! |
| 00:45:13 |
My God, the master's wounded! |
| 00:45:21 |
Don't move! |
| 00:45:53 |
You're mad! What are you doing? |
| 00:45:55 |
I want to drink his blood! |
| 00:46:05 |
Will he die? |
| 00:46:09 |
After what you just did, |
| 00:46:11 |
his wound has a greater chance |
| 00:46:53 |
The wound was so deep |
| 00:46:58 |
I hung between life |
| 00:47:01 |
Yet I followed the doctor's orders, |
| 00:47:05 |
desperate to get well. |
| 00:47:22 |
Marquise, I wanted to get |
| 00:47:53 |
That same dream again... |
| 00:48:18 |
My God, I'm still dreaming... |
| 00:48:23 |
I surrender, Ryno. |
| 00:48:26 |
I struggled hard, but I am beaten. |
| 00:48:40 |
Though cured of my wounds, |
| 00:48:43 |
where Vellini came very early |
| 00:48:48 |
and leftjust before dawn. |
| 00:49:07 |
The odor of love... |
| 00:49:10 |
Hold me tight... I love... |
| 00:49:22 |
Ryno... |
| 00:49:35 |
I miss you already. |
| 00:49:55 |
You don't have another, I hope. |
| 00:49:59 |
I swear! |
| 00:50:01 |
Too easy. Swear it, on my head! |
| 00:50:07 |
I swear it. |
| 00:50:11 |
Locking me in? |
| 00:50:13 |
Double-locking you! |
| 00:50:23 |
Like your slave? |
| 00:50:26 |
My prisoner. |
| 00:50:32 |
Later you'll be my slave. |
| 00:51:26 |
Ten past seven! |
| 00:51:30 |
You never miss roll-call, |
| 00:51:37 |
Why are you still up? |
| 00:51:39 |
I'm trying to tell you... |
| 00:51:42 |
Given the very limited |
| 00:51:48 |
I could, if I so wished, |
| 00:51:51 |
without you noticing... |
| 00:52:01 |
Listen to what I'm saying! |
| 00:52:04 |
Let go of me! |
| 00:52:06 |
Go sleep off your drunkenness, |
| 00:52:13 |
Sorry! |
| 00:52:19 |
Not for much longer. |
| 00:52:30 |
My leaving has nothing to do with you. |
| 00:52:35 |
I'll always be grateful |
| 00:52:47 |
But I love Ryno de Marigny. |
| 00:52:50 |
One can't fight that. |
| 00:52:53 |
Bye. |
| 00:53:13 |
The next day, all of Paris, |
| 00:53:17 |
the young things seen in chic cafes |
| 00:53:20 |
and boxes at the Opera... |
| 00:53:23 |
knew Lady Annesley |
| 00:53:31 |
The scandal was huge. |
| 00:53:40 |
I, being upper crust |
| 00:53:48 |
suddenly inspired all kinds of horrors |
| 00:53:51 |
but who didn't ban me |
| 00:53:58 |
Vellini, who wasn't part of |
| 00:54:02 |
didn't suffer from |
| 00:54:08 |
Though Paris, for a year, |
| 00:54:10 |
was the start of a liaison |
| 00:54:17 |
There! |
| 00:54:18 |
No, you can't stop now! |
| 00:54:21 |
Tell me all about those ten years. |
| 00:54:41 |
After that year, we left for Algeria. |
| 00:54:46 |
We had a little daughter. |
| 00:55:25 |
It's been five days... |
| 00:55:32 |
We must bury her. |
| 00:55:36 |
Let's burn her instead! This thing... |
| 00:56:52 |
that... here and in this place... |
| 00:57:03 |
was no longer love |
| 00:57:10 |
a kind of barbarous rape... |
| 00:57:16 |
I disapproved of it heart and soul. |
| 00:57:24 |
But nothing could sway her... |
| 00:57:28 |
She had to go through with it. |
| 00:57:33 |
And I had to let her... |
| 00:57:39 |
even if it made me feel |
| 00:57:52 |
Don't be ashamed, I understand. |
| 00:58:14 |
Back in Paris... |
| 00:58:18 |
our relationship became a wretched |
| 00:58:26 |
Our daughter's death had placed |
| 00:58:33 |
I no longer existed in her eyes... |
| 00:58:35 |
Except... |
| 00:58:41 |
that she was so totally |
| 00:58:45 |
that she always needed it... |
| 00:58:57 |
At such times, I hated her. |
| 00:59:02 |
I went as far as to wish her dead. |
| 00:59:08 |
I began to submerge her with |
| 00:59:16 |
I left the house more and more, |
| 00:59:19 |
vowing to end the relationship. |
| 00:59:23 |
When I'd get home, |
| 00:59:30 |
The only thing which kept us together |
| 00:59:35 |
was the bottomless |
| 00:59:41 |
and we threw ourselves into it, |
| 00:59:45 |
worse than before. |
| 00:59:48 |
And all my hate was |
| 00:59:52 |
But sooner or later, |
| 00:59:54 |
love withers in these terrible games, |
| 00:59:58 |
It falls, mutilated |
| 01:00:02 |
It gets back up for a short time, |
| 01:00:06 |
only to fall even more mutilated... |
| 01:00:18 |
Then we no longer love each other? |
| 01:00:22 |
My poor child, |
| 01:00:25 |
we both know we |
| 01:00:31 |
It is written on your brow. |
| 01:00:35 |
Boredom overwhelms you, |
| 01:00:39 |
you're not a weak creature |
| 01:00:44 |
Let us separate. |
| 01:00:49 |
Go on, I'm enthralled! |
| 01:00:54 |
I told her that we'd stay friends, |
| 01:00:56 |
and I proved it to her. |
| 01:00:58 |
We spent even more time together, |
| 01:01:04 |
I took her to the theater, |
| 01:01:08 |
I went riding with her. |
| 01:01:11 |
My elegant friends |
| 01:01:13 |
who dumped their mistresses when |
| 01:01:18 |
they were through with them, |
| 01:01:21 |
made fun of me |
| 01:01:24 |
My dear man, they'd say, |
| 01:01:29 |
you still love her! |
| 01:01:33 |
Marquise, I was sure of the opposite. |
| 01:01:40 |
I'd returned to my bachelor life |
| 01:01:44 |
to have any doubts |
| 01:01:49 |
Vellini agreed we no longer |
| 01:01:53 |
and stuck her claws into Cerisy. |
| 01:01:56 |
So it was your Malaguena who ruined |
| 01:02:02 |
I'm not painting a rosy picture of her. |
| 01:02:05 |
I'm speaking frankly to you. |
| 01:02:08 |
Anyone else but |
| 01:02:12 |
and deny one could wreck one's life |
| 01:02:16 |
My child, |
| 01:02:17 |
we weren't as narrow-minded |
| 01:02:22 |
And, believe me, |
| 01:02:32 |
It's you, Ryno! |
| 01:02:38 |
You didn't expect me? |
| 01:02:42 |
My God, you're burning, |
| 01:02:46 |
I don't know, but I'm bored. |
| 01:02:58 |
Maybe this Spanish sunshine |
| 01:03:01 |
Well... You may be right! |
| 01:03:18 |
You're still the same Vellini! |
| 01:03:25 |
The wild woman |
| 01:03:30 |
Life is standing up to me! |
| 01:03:36 |
I don't know what's wrong, |
| 01:03:42 |
I was happier with you, Ryno. |
| 01:03:50 |
Does Cerisy upset you, my poor girl? |
| 01:03:53 |
Him? You know about him? |
| 01:03:57 |
No he doesn't upset me, the poor man. |
| 01:04:01 |
He wouldn't dare. |
| 01:04:04 |
He is subservient, paralyzed, |
| 01:04:08 |
totally devoted to me! |
| 01:04:12 |
Only, it bores me. |
| 01:04:15 |
I preferred life when you detested me. |
| 01:04:21 |
And you, are you happy? |
| 01:04:26 |
What if I'm not? |
| 01:04:29 |
Don't lie to me! |
| 01:04:33 |
You met a woman in London |
| 01:04:35 |
and returned with her to Paris. |
| 01:04:40 |
You came back together ten days ago. |
| 01:04:42 |
The woman you mention |
| 01:04:46 |
When you meet a compatriot abroad, |
| 01:04:50 |
and without consequences. |
| 01:04:55 |
And she was traveling with her husband! |
| 01:05:00 |
You're not in love with her? |
| 01:05:07 |
You were, Ryno! |
| 01:05:13 |
But you were so immersed |
| 01:05:18 |
you never saw me. |
| 01:05:19 |
What if it's true? |
| 01:05:23 |
She's the first woman I've loved |
| 01:05:28 |
Why do you adopt that tone? |
| 01:05:34 |
I know it's wrong. |
| 01:05:47 |
Why do you insist on stopping |
| 01:05:51 |
Not loving is the worst misfortune! |
| 01:05:55 |
Why won't you answer? |
| 01:05:58 |
You made me suffer too much. |
| 01:06:01 |
I can't go back to that. |
| 01:06:11 |
But you like to come back here |
| 01:06:14 |
as much as it suits you, |
| 01:06:17 |
nose in the air, hands in your pockets, |
| 01:06:22 |
without any commitment! |
| 01:06:27 |
Whereas with... |
| 01:06:30 |
your Countess... |
| 01:06:32 |
Countess who? Countess de Mendoze. |
| 01:06:37 |
Stop that! |
| 01:06:41 |
Or I'll never come here again! |
| 01:06:43 |
So what? You think I still love you? |
| 01:06:47 |
What do I care about you |
| 01:06:53 |
You don't believe me? |
| 01:06:55 |
Then put your hand on my heart |
| 01:06:58 |
with your new mistress. |
| 01:07:01 |
If your heart beats faster, spurn me. |
| 01:07:09 |
Tell me how she makes love. |
| 01:07:15 |
She's a noble lady, |
| 01:07:18 |
incredibly cold and prudish. |
| 01:07:20 |
Repelled by the base acts of love. |
| 01:07:25 |
She finally gave in to me |
| 01:07:29 |
as if she despised herself, |
| 01:07:33 |
but her love was too strong... |
| 01:07:37 |
She doesn't open her legs, |
| 01:07:40 |
she clenches them. |
| 01:07:43 |
Do you like that? |
| 01:07:44 |
I almost force her. |
| 01:07:47 |
She closes her eyes, |
| 01:07:51 |
And she weeps, it is very impressive. |
| 01:07:55 |
How does she come? |
| 01:07:58 |
That's not the point. |
| 01:08:03 |
Her surrender, |
| 01:08:09 |
It flatters your tiny pride. |
| 01:08:16 |
But that's not love... |
| 01:08:22 |
Most women |
| 01:08:25 |
to give oneself to a man. |
| 01:08:32 |
What it is to hold |
| 01:08:42 |
What do you find |
| 01:08:47 |
You, above all! |
| 01:08:51 |
I don't understand... |
| 01:08:54 |
If at least you'd replaced me with |
| 01:08:57 |
someone a hundred times |
| 01:09:02 |
You'd be desperately jealous. |
| 01:09:05 |
Perhaps, but at least not humiliated. |
| 01:09:18 |
Does her title excite you? |
| 01:09:22 |
Be quiet! |
| 01:09:25 |
If you knew her, you'd keep quiet! |
| 01:10:01 |
It's light. |
| 01:10:05 |
My young friend, |
| 01:10:08 |
I spent many a sleepless |
| 01:10:12 |
Fireside chats are the ballroom |
| 01:10:16 |
And now I know everything about the |
| 01:10:24 |
You gave me |
| 01:10:28 |
You trusted me |
| 01:10:33 |
My own family |
| 01:10:36 |
or what I could become. |
| 01:10:42 |
Thank you. |
| 01:10:47 |
You're my real mother. |
| 01:10:52 |
I love you like a son... |
| 01:10:57 |
I love Hermangarde more than anything. |
| 01:10:59 |
I know! My granddaughter |
| 01:11:03 |
I'm glad I didn't |
| 01:11:06 |
or Hermangarde's! |
| 01:11:34 |
He had the nerve to tell her |
| 01:11:38 |
he reveled in it! |
| 01:11:41 |
My dear, as I always said, |
| 01:11:43 |
of over-provocative novels |
| 01:11:48 |
on female common sense! |
| 01:12:29 |
Here's the text chosen |
| 01:12:32 |
from the gospel according to St Matthew |
| 01:12:34 |
"Some Pharisees came to |
| 01:12:36 |
"May a man divorce his wife |
| 01:12:38 |
"He answered |
| 01:12:40 |
"Have you not read, that the Creator |
| 01:12:43 |
"made them male and female and said, |
| 01:12:44 |
"A man leaves his father and mother, |
| 01:12:47 |
"to be united to his wife |
| 01:12:51 |
"They are no longer two, but one flesh. |
| 01:12:55 |
"What God has united, |
| 01:12:58 |
"They objected |
| 01:12:59 |
"Why did Moses say a man may divorce |
| 01:13:01 |
"He said to them |
| 01:13:02 |
"Your stubbornness is why Moses |
| 01:13:07 |
"But in the beginning it was not so. |
| 01:13:08 |
"A man may only divorce his wife |
| 01:13:12 |
"If he marries another, it is adultery. |
| 01:13:14 |
"Some disciples said |
| 01:13:18 |
"it is best not to marry. |
| 01:13:22 |
"He said to them |
| 01:13:23 |
"Only those God |
| 01:13:27 |
"Some men are born eunuchs |
| 01:13:30 |
"Others were made so by men. |
| 01:13:32 |
"Others became eunuchs |
| 01:13:36 |
"Let those accept it who can." |
| 01:13:39 |
"Lmitate me, as I imitate Christ. |
| 01:13:42 |
"But know that Christ |

How the sea rises! |
| 01:15:49 |
The spring tide. |
| 01:15:53 |
If they are too tardy, |
| 01:15:57 |
You're still not concerned? |
| 01:15:59 |
I hope they don't catch cold. |
| 01:16:03 |
Did you do as I did, Marquise? |
| 01:16:07 |
I see a letter in your hands. |
| 01:16:09 |
To whom would I write, my dear? |
| 01:16:12 |
To Viscount de Prony, like you, |
| 01:16:15 |
This letter you see |
| 01:16:19 |
It's for M. De Marigny, |
| 01:16:25 |
- Is it from Paris? |
| 01:16:28 |
You know this handwriting? |
| 01:16:38 |
Marquise, what an awful scribble! |
| 01:16:42 |
I know no one who writes like that. |
| 01:16:47 |
It's a woman's handwriting. |
| 01:16:49 |
A washerwoman's! |
| 01:16:51 |
Washerwomen don't |
| 01:16:54 |
or possess seals like this one. Look! |
| 01:17:00 |
My God! |
| 01:17:05 |
Could it be that his old mistress, |
| 01:17:10 |
has changed her mind? |
| 01:17:12 |
It would seem likely! |
| 01:17:13 |
She lay low for four months |
| 01:17:18 |
Quite astute of her. |
| 01:17:19 |
She thinks by now the joy of |
| 01:17:25 |
A big mistake! |
| 01:17:29 |
she's wasting her time. |
| 01:17:31 |
Coming from you, |
| 01:17:34 |
Yes, be reassured. |
| 01:17:37 |
Let's both be reassured! |
| 01:17:42 |
There they are. |
| 01:17:47 |
We were caught by the tide. |
| 01:17:50 |
You're soaked! Get warm by the fire. |
| 01:17:53 |
If you fall ill, where will we be then! |
| 01:17:57 |
I'm not cold. |
| 01:18:00 |
now I'm the wife of a man |
| 01:18:03 |
M. De Marigny, I was given a letter |
| 01:18:09 |
Thank you. |
| 01:19:07 |
Why did you come here? |
| 01:19:10 |
Because it pleased me to. |
| 01:19:13 |
Isn't the open air |
| 01:19:17 |
I came here because I was bored |
| 01:19:21 |
with not seeing you, |
| 01:19:24 |
because you didn't reply to my letters. |
| 01:19:30 |
Why did you pursue me here? |
| 01:19:33 |
If I feel like living on these shores, |
| 01:19:37 |
spending my days on this cliff... |
| 01:19:40 |
Doesn't it all belong to me |
| 01:19:44 |
What are you afraid of? |
| 01:19:48 |
Deep down you're unsure of yourself. |
| 01:19:53 |
I like this place, |
| 01:20:00 |
If I'm not wanted, go away! |
| 01:20:03 |
As for me, |
| 01:20:12 |
It could be said that I came here |
| 01:20:14 |
to plead for a glance |
| 01:20:18 |
who... banished me... |
| 01:20:32 |
If I betrayed the love of my life, |
| 01:20:35 |
So would you... |
| 01:20:38 |
If you refuse to put your arms |
| 01:20:43 |
you'd better kill me, |
| 01:20:47 |
At least then I'd feel no more pain. |
| 01:20:50 |
What are you waiting for? |
| 01:20:52 |
We're alone up here! |
| 01:20:56 |
See, there's no one! |
| 01:20:58 |
Take up your gun! |
| 01:21:03 |
You see... |
| 01:21:06 |
If anyone hears, you missed a seagull. |
| 01:21:12 |
If I fall into the sea, |
| 01:21:14 |
you'll be sure to be faithful. Shoot! |
| 01:21:21 |
You're mad! |
| 01:22:19 |
Not now! |
| 01:22:24 |
She's asleep. |
| 01:22:33 |
Be good. |
| 01:22:37 |
One kiss! One kiss first! |
| 01:22:43 |
A real one! |
| 01:23:03 |
Weren't you to take the dogs out? |
| 01:23:22 |
Did Ryno wake you, Grandmother? |
| 01:23:24 |
No, my child, your husband |
| 01:23:32 |
Are you really leaving us? |
| 01:23:35 |
Winter is coming. |
| 01:23:41 |
I love this place, I'm happy here. |
| 01:23:43 |
But I love you more than any place. |
| 01:23:47 |
If I ask him, Ryno will return to Paris. |
| 01:23:50 |
Make sure you don't! |
| 01:23:52 |
You don't yet know, my sweet, |
| 01:23:56 |
Ryno idolizes you. |
| 01:23:58 |
Here, what would he love, if not you? |
| 01:24:02 |
there are so many distractions, |
| 01:24:06 |
every distraction is a mortal enemy. |
| 01:24:10 |
You're right, grandmother. |
| 01:24:13 |
No woman owns the key |
| 01:24:17 |
But if you miss us, send word, |
| 01:24:19 |
Have a good trip. |
| 01:24:27 |
There's no handsomer couple |
| 01:25:26 |
Ryno! |
| 01:25:29 |
Not so fast! |
| 01:25:55 |
I didn't realize you weren't following. |
| 01:26:13 |
I'm so silly. |
| 01:26:28 |
- Well, doctor? |
| 01:26:45 |
As of now, I forbid you |
| 01:26:53 |
Do you realize, when I think of it, |
| 01:27:08 |
It's my son! |
| 01:28:07 |
Madame may catch cold. |
| 01:28:10 |
It is unwise in your state. |
| 01:28:12 |
It's lovely weather. I need fresh air. |
| 01:28:34 |
Keep covered, |
| 01:28:38 |
I'm a grown woman! |
| 01:28:45 |
Why, it's the lady of the manor, |
| 01:28:55 |
Old Griffon! |
| 01:28:58 |
Who's that woman sitting |
| 01:29:03 |
You don't know her? |
| 01:29:08 |
Often, she comes fishing with us. |
| 01:31:01 |
You're even handsomer |
| 01:31:05 |
And now we're reunited. |
| 01:31:08 |
Be quiet! |
| 01:32:02 |
Talk, if you want... |
| 01:32:10 |
It's only too true that I came. |
| 01:32:21 |
As God is my witness, |
| 01:32:24 |
you're the cause of more kisses, |
| 01:32:29 |
of more tenderness for Hermangarde |
| 01:32:32 |
if you hadn't existed! |
| 01:32:40 |
I kissed her like a drowning man |
| 01:32:43 |
clings to a floating log. |
| 01:33:02 |
They say that in battle, |
| 01:33:06 |
when thoroughbred horses |
| 01:33:15 |
a mysterious attraction for pain |
| 01:33:19 |
urges them forward to |
| 01:33:22 |
impale themselves right to the heart. |
| 01:33:30 |
It's the same with you, |
| 01:33:34 |
since the day I saw you again. |
| 01:35:18 |
Is that my horse? |
| 01:35:20 |
It's just the wind. Don't leave me. |
| 01:35:54 |
It's the wind. |
| 01:35:58 |
It can't be her! |
| 01:36:35 |
You see, there's no one! |
| 01:36:37 |
Come back inside. |
| 01:40:51 |
Rebuke me. |
| 01:41:02 |
Tell me what you're thinking. |
| 01:41:11 |
You're worrying for nothing. |
| 01:41:37 |
The worst is this silence. |
| 01:41:55 |
In fact, no. |
| 01:42:02 |
You knew she died? |
| 01:42:12 |
Is she happier where she is now? |
| 01:42:20 |
You mean I kill everyone close to me. |
| 01:42:24 |
I didn't say that. |
| 01:42:38 |
There's something terrible in my fate! |
| 01:42:42 |
I always knew it. |
| 01:43:03 |
After a year and a half of uncertainty, |
| 01:43:08 |
received the proof of something |
| 01:43:17 |
as one calculates an eclipse. |
| 01:43:20 |
In fact, it is also an eclipse. |
| 01:43:24 |
That paragon of husbands, |
| 01:43:26 |
Monsieur de Marigny? |
| 01:43:28 |
...has done like the dog in the Bible. |
| 01:43:30 |
you know where? |
| 01:43:32 |
What you're saying is most unsavory! |
| 01:43:35 |
Saying isn't doing! |
| 01:43:36 |
Let's see... It's ten o'clock exactly. |
| 01:43:40 |
Where do you think |
| 01:43:45 |
That genius of conjugal love! |
| 01:43:49 |
My God! |
| 01:43:51 |
So my poor friend the Marquise de Flers |
| 01:43:56 |
He's at 46 rue des Carmes, |
| 01:44:00 |
at Senora Vellini's. |
| 01:44:02 |
Are you sure of this? |
| 01:44:04 |
He was at the Opera last night |
| 01:44:08 |
He left around the same time I did... |
| 01:44:11 |
I saw him get into his carriage |
| 01:44:14 |
it was after Act Two. |
| 01:44:17 |
He left Madame de Marigny in her box, |
| 01:44:19 |
with Madame de Spaur |
| 01:44:23 |
What proves he went to Rue de Carmes? |
| 01:44:26 |
I saw him enter her house myself! |
| 01:44:29 |
His carriage parked |
| 01:44:33 |
testified to the fact to |
| 01:44:39 |
Monsieur de Marigny |
| 01:44:46 |
What I like about him is that, |
| 01:44:50 |
he'll revel in being unpopular. |
| 01:44:54 |
I know of no man who defies |
| 01:44:58 |
Just like a man! |
| 01:45:01 |
And yet... You needn't believe me, |
| 01:45:05 |
but I swear he was madly in love |
| 01:45:09 |
I witnessed that love, |
| 01:45:13 |
That's just as well, Countess. |
| 01:45:16 |
That way, at least someone |
| 01:45:19 |
For he probably no longer does. |
