Blind
|
| 00:00:52 |
Now then! We will begin. |
| 00:00:55 |
When the story is done maybe |
| 00:01:36 |
Go away! |
| 00:01:39 |
Don't look at me. |
| 00:01:41 |
Don't... Don't. I don't want to. |
| 00:01:47 |
No, I don't want it. |
| 00:01:52 |
Clean outside, clean inside. |
| 00:02:12 |
Ann. |
| 00:02:14 |
He bit me! |
| 00:02:58 |
Leave me alone. |
| 00:03:06 |
You can't look at me. |
| 00:03:10 |
Don't look. No. |
| 00:03:17 |
Sshhh. |
| 00:03:40 |
Sshhh. Ruben. |
| 00:03:44 |
They can't look. They mustn't. |
| 00:03:49 |
Now calm down. |
| 00:03:52 |
Victor won't be long. |
| 00:03:53 |
No. No. No. |
| 00:03:56 |
I won't have it. I won't have it. |
| 00:03:59 |
No Victor any more. |
| 00:04:08 |
I'll stand up. I shall leave. |
| 00:05:49 |
My name is Marie. |
| 00:05:57 |
You have to know that this post |
| 00:06:01 |
Perseverance is needed. |
| 00:06:04 |
You have a lovely voice. |
| 00:06:17 |
Please follow me. |
| 00:06:28 |
Ruben? |
| 00:06:31 |
Ruben? |
| 00:06:37 |
May I introduce you to someone? |
| 00:06:42 |
Can I introduce you to someone? Ruben. |
| 00:06:46 |
She isn't here to wash and dress you. |
| 00:06:49 |
Marie reads. |
| 00:06:58 |
Can I open the curtain? |
| 00:07:08 |
It would be... |
| 00:07:13 |
Ruben, no one will stay. |
| 00:08:02 |
I'll pay you in advance. |
| 00:08:04 |
Where's the library? |
| 00:08:07 |
I'd like to read the books at home. |
| 00:08:09 |
If you promise me |
| 00:09:37 |
I didn't hear you. |
| 00:09:40 |
Here, take this one. |
| 00:10:56 |
You smell nice. |
| 00:10:58 |
I came to read |
| 00:11:01 |
Stop moving and I'll let go. |
| 00:11:09 |
Bitch. |
| 00:11:11 |
If you ever raise a finger to me... |
| 00:11:24 |
Go away. |
| 00:11:27 |
You have to go. |
| 00:11:41 |
Now then! We will begin... |
| 00:11:56 |
When the story is done... |
| 00:12:46 |
You don't treat books like that. |
| 00:12:55 |
Did he behave? |
| 00:12:59 |
- Yes. - |
| 00:13:01 |
Tomorrow? |
| 00:13:05 |
This one's called Marie, isn't she? |
| 00:13:09 |
And what else? |
| 00:13:11 |
She didn't say. |
| 00:13:14 |
She won't stay either. |
| 00:13:18 |
Don't look. Don't look. Don't look. |
| 00:13:28 |
You won't get rid of me. |
| 00:13:45 |
Now then! We will begin. |
| 00:13:47 |
When the story is done maybe |
| 00:13:52 |
There was a mirror... |
| 00:13:54 |
...in which everything good and beautiful |
| 00:13:59 |
...while everything worthless and ugly |
| 00:14:05 |
Only now could one see |
| 00:14:08 |
The grinning mirror trembled |
| 00:14:12 |
...that it shattered into millions of bits |
| 00:14:17 |
I could try another book. |
| 00:14:26 |
If someone got a splinter in their heart, |
| 00:14:31 |
In the big city lived... |
| 00:14:34 |
I'll get another book. |
| 00:14:36 |
They weren't siblings, |
| 00:14:39 |
You already know it. |
| 00:14:51 |
In the big city lived two children. |
| 00:14:53 |
They weren't siblings, |
| 00:14:57 |
His name was Kay and hers was Gerda. |
| 00:15:00 |
Outside snow fell. |
| 00:15:02 |
''They're white bees,'' |
| 00:15:05 |
''Do they have a queen bee?'' Kay asked. |
| 00:15:09 |
''Yes,'' said the grandmother, |
| 00:15:13 |
She looks inside on winter nights. |
| 00:15:16 |
Then they freeze as beautifully |
| 00:15:31 |
Kay only saw ugliness. |
| 00:15:33 |
A shard had pierced his eye. |
| 00:15:35 |
''What ugly roses.'' |
| 00:15:37 |
''Ouch,'' said Kay. ''It's as if |
| 00:15:42 |
Kay had a shard in his chest too. |
| 00:15:46 |
His heart slowly turned to ice. |
| 00:15:48 |
''Why are you crying?'' called Kay. |
| 00:15:51 |
''You look so ugly, Gerda.'' |
| 00:15:54 |
Ugly. |
| 00:15:56 |
Ugly. |
| 00:15:58 |
You're ugly. |
| 00:16:01 |
You're so ugly. |
| 00:16:02 |
Ugly, you are. |
| 00:16:06 |
You are... |
| 00:16:09 |
...ugly. |
| 00:16:18 |
How could I bear such a child? |
| 00:16:21 |
Everything about you is ugly. |
| 00:16:24 |
Everything. Stupid look. |
| 00:16:27 |
Stupid look! |
| 00:16:29 |
Wear your hair in front of your face |
| 00:16:33 |
No eyebrows, your hair is dull... |
| 00:16:37 |
Bad posture, ugly knees... |
| 00:16:40 |
You need a long dress |
| 00:16:44 |
You're ugly. Ugly! |
| 00:17:06 |
Do they ever answer back? |
| 00:17:11 |
They smell nice. |
| 00:17:31 |
People stink. |
| 00:17:45 |
What do you look like? |
| 00:17:51 |
Is your hair dark or light? |
| 00:17:57 |
Red. |
| 00:18:00 |
Red hair. |
| 00:18:02 |
Yes, and long. |
| 00:18:10 |
Green or brown eyes? |
| 00:18:12 |
Green. |
| 00:18:15 |
And your mouth? |
| 00:18:36 |
She was beautiful, but made of ice. |
| 00:18:39 |
Of blinding, glistening ice. |
| 00:18:42 |
The Snow Queen kissed Kay. |
| 00:18:53 |
The kiss penetrated to his heart |
| 00:19:00 |
It was as if he were dying. |
| 00:19:07 |
The Ice Queen kissed Kay again |
| 00:19:21 |
Do we have to? |
| 00:19:23 |
Yes, your mother is watching you. |
| 00:19:28 |
Pretend you like it. |
| 00:19:30 |
Two days ago we boarded |
| 00:19:34 |
I don't need fresh air. |
| 00:19:36 |
As dress, they wore amulets |
| 00:19:41 |
We bought a few... |
| 00:19:44 |
Not women, but their breeches. |
| 00:19:48 |
We negotiated about ostrich feathers |
| 00:19:53 |
...to stay aboard longer and |
| 00:21:46 |
What does she look like? |
| 00:21:49 |
Marie? |
| 00:21:51 |
- Yes. - |
| 00:21:54 |
You know... |
| 00:21:56 |
Does she have red hair? |
| 00:22:01 |
You could see it that way... |
| 00:22:04 |
Green eyes? |
| 00:22:12 |
I believe so. |
| 00:22:15 |
She's beautiful, isn't she? |
| 00:22:16 |
Yes, lovely. |
| 00:22:20 |
I knew it. |
| 00:22:44 |
Ruben? |
| 00:22:47 |
This rug has to go. It stinks. |
| 00:22:49 |
My boy, let me do that. |
| 00:22:51 |
I can do it. |
| 00:22:53 |
I told you so. |
| 00:24:29 |
You have cold hands. |
| 00:24:32 |
No... |
| 00:24:33 |
Otherwise I can't see you. |
| 00:24:36 |
Why? |
| 00:24:45 |
I said: no. |
| 00:24:49 |
You're very beautiful. |
| 00:25:00 |
Did your mother tell you that? |
| 00:25:12 |
Frost flowers... |
| 00:25:16 |
Where did you get them? |
| 00:25:19 |
You smell nice. |
| 00:25:21 |
You stink... |
| 00:25:31 |
Marie. |
| 00:25:36 |
Marie. |
| 00:25:44 |
Go inside. |
| 00:25:49 |
Go on then. |
| 00:27:18 |
Can you see anything? |
| 00:27:36 |
And now? Can you see anything? |
| 00:28:10 |
Shall I ask Victor to come? |
| 00:28:14 |
All right... |
| 00:28:21 |
Shall I read to you? |
| 00:28:26 |
I touched her. |
| 00:28:28 |
That's how you look. |
| 00:28:32 |
What else did you do? |
| 00:28:39 |
We'll think of something. |
| 00:28:48 |
Come on, let's lie in my bed. |
| 00:29:02 |
Don't you want to know where I was? |
| 00:29:05 |
You don't like to be touched. |
| 00:29:15 |
Wash yourself. |
| 00:29:22 |
Wash. |
| 00:29:24 |
Don't depend on anyone, |
| 00:29:32 |
I can't see anything. |
| 00:29:33 |
So what? |
| 00:29:35 |
Here. Wash. |
| 00:29:37 |
If you tell a story. |
| 00:29:40 |
I won't wash you. |
| 00:29:42 |
No, me wash, you story. |
| 00:29:54 |
Left... |
| 00:29:56 |
A little more... |
| 00:30:05 |
You can look. |
| 00:32:06 |
Mama? |
| 00:32:13 |
What happened? |
| 00:32:40 |
Has Victor left? |
| 00:32:44 |
No. |
| 00:32:47 |
Fine. |
| 00:32:48 |
Ruben, can I look at your eyes |
| 00:32:55 |
What if we ask Marie |
| 00:32:59 |
She can help Mama too. |
| 00:33:02 |
Fine. Fine. |
| 00:33:05 |
I'll ask. |
| 00:33:33 |
We're going outside. |
| 00:33:58 |
Are you all right? |
| 00:34:05 |
I'm blind with gloves on. |
| 00:34:17 |
It's just like glass. |
| 00:34:48 |
Marie. |
| 00:34:54 |
My name is really Neeltje Marie. |
| 00:35:14 |
My hands are frozen. |
| 00:35:27 |
I may ask you to come |
| 00:35:36 |
You have to say yes. |
| 00:36:07 |
You have to say ''yes''. |
| 00:36:09 |
No! |
| 00:36:14 |
Yes! |
| 00:36:15 |
Yes! |
| 00:37:11 |
D'you have a suitcase with you? |
| 00:37:14 |
- Yes. - |
| 00:37:21 |
I'll show you your room. |
| 00:37:25 |
If you don't like this room, we have more. |
| 00:37:29 |
Yes, this is fine. |
| 00:39:30 |
Ruben? |
| 00:39:37 |
Ruben? |
| 00:39:45 |
RUBEN! |
| 00:39:49 |
I can't sleep. |
| 00:39:51 |
Come and sit with me. |
| 00:40:11 |
Do you still love me? |
| 00:40:16 |
Mama. |
| 00:41:15 |
I want to see you. |
| 00:41:42 |
You have even more. |
| 00:41:44 |
Where did you get them? |
| 00:42:08 |
You don't stink any more. |
| 00:42:19 |
You don't look the way I thought. |
| 00:42:25 |
Much more beautiful. |
| 00:46:03 |
How old are you? |
| 00:46:07 |
21 ... |
| 00:46:31 |
I'm so sorry. |
| 00:46:35 |
Here you are. |
| 00:46:58 |
This is eye liner. |
| 00:47:15 |
You have performed your task well. |
| 00:47:20 |
I am grateful to you. |
| 00:47:26 |
Don't forget you are here to read. |
| 00:47:28 |
Nothing more. |
| 00:47:50 |
How are you? |
| 00:47:53 |
It's more difficult to walk. |
| 00:47:56 |
My legs have suddenly given up on me. |
| 00:47:59 |
My fingers too. |
| 00:48:02 |
I dropped that lovely bottle of yours. |
| 00:48:16 |
Did you think about what I said? |
| 00:48:22 |
I don't dare believe it. |
| 00:48:24 |
Believe me, Catherine, |
| 00:48:27 |
We live in a new era. |
| 00:48:32 |
God, that would be great. |
| 00:48:34 |
I can write a letter. |
| 00:49:25 |
Do you remember colour? |
| 00:49:31 |
Yes. |
| 00:49:32 |
My father practised |
| 00:49:38 |
What does red look like? |
| 00:49:45 |
Like this. |
| 00:49:53 |
What will they read? |
| 00:50:26 |
Where are we going? |
| 00:50:28 |
Does it matter? |
| 00:50:35 |
What about Mama? |
| 00:50:40 |
You want to stay here forever? |
| 00:50:46 |
I want to go to Istanbul... and you? |
| 00:50:51 |
Come on, surprise... |
| 00:50:56 |
Shall I shut my eyes? |
| 00:51:11 |
You can open them now. |
| 00:51:18 |
What's the surprise, then? |
| 00:51:22 |
Victor, this is Marie. |
| 00:51:24 |
Marie, Doctor Verbeeke. |
| 00:51:29 |
Well you are... |
| 00:51:32 |
Victor has very good news. |
| 00:52:14 |
You live in a lie. |
| 00:52:19 |
Who's going to tell him the truth? |
| 00:52:27 |
He sees it... |
| 00:52:30 |
...and he's the only one. |
| 00:52:33 |
You mean that love's blind? |
| 00:52:56 |
Are you afraid? |
| 00:52:59 |
Nervous. |
| 00:53:01 |
A little scared. |
| 00:53:05 |
I'm sure it'll work. |
| 00:53:18 |
How does the fairytale end? |
| 00:53:21 |
The Snow Queen? |
| 00:53:24 |
Happily ever after, of course. |
| 00:54:55 |
Aren't you cold? |
| 00:54:59 |
No. |
| 00:55:23 |
I love you. |
| 00:56:08 |
Marie. |
| 00:56:12 |
Marie. |
| 00:56:14 |
Where are you? |
| 00:56:17 |
Marie. |
| 00:56:20 |
Marie. |
| 00:57:01 |
We shall anaesthetize your eyes |
| 00:57:05 |
Cocaine. |
| 00:57:10 |
You won't feel much. |
| 00:57:32 |
Is Marie there? |
| 00:57:34 |
After you, colleague. |
| 00:57:36 |
My compliments. Truly wonderful. |
| 00:57:54 |
And now we wait. |
| 00:57:56 |
But it looks hopeful. Very hopeful. |
| 00:58:05 |
He bit me. |
| 00:58:08 |
Untie me! Let me out of here. |
| 00:58:10 |
Don't move. Mr Rietlander. You don't |
| 00:58:15 |
I want to see her. |
| 00:58:19 |
Something's wrong. |
| 00:58:22 |
A few more weeks. Come on. |
| 00:58:25 |
A few more weeks. Think of your eyes. |
| 00:58:30 |
Quiet. You aren't alone here. |
| 00:58:32 |
Where is she? |
| 00:59:08 |
Ruben. |
| 00:59:14 |
Marie? |
| 00:59:16 |
Ruben. |
| 00:59:19 |
- Marie. |
| 00:59:27 |
Hush now. |
| 00:59:29 |
I'm here. |
| 00:59:31 |
Ruben? |
| 00:59:34 |
Marie. |
| 00:59:36 |
Ssshh, quiet. |
| 00:59:39 |
Marie. |
| 00:59:40 |
I'm here. Pull yourself together. |
| 00:59:48 |
Where is she? |
| 00:59:51 |
I don't know. |
| 00:59:53 |
Has she gone? Did something happen? |
| 01:00:01 |
There are so many |
| 01:00:07 |
And now you'll see them all. |
| 01:00:10 |
Are they as beautiful as Marie? |
| 01:00:17 |
It was pretty nasty that she just left. |
| 01:00:22 |
Ruben. Ruben. |
| 01:00:25 |
Promise me you'll eat again. Ruben. |
| 01:00:30 |
Ruben... |
| 01:00:30 |
You have to say who you are. |
| 01:00:37 |
How is he? Can he see? |
| 01:00:42 |
It is impolite to keep your hood on, madam. |
| 01:00:47 |
That's my affair. |
| 01:00:51 |
Not entirely. |
| 01:00:53 |
If you don't dare appear in public, |
| 01:01:02 |
You should be more courageous. |
| 01:01:05 |
Why are you here, madam? |
| 01:01:23 |
He is going to see. |
| 01:01:30 |
You're between 30 and 40 years old. |
| 01:01:35 |
What future can you possibly offer Ruben? |
| 01:01:42 |
A colleague of mine has made |
| 01:01:48 |
Some scars are forever. |
| 01:02:03 |
I'm convinced that modern science will |
| 01:02:10 |
Let that be a comfort to you. |
| 01:02:28 |
Look, can you see it? Look at yourself! |
| 01:02:43 |
...but never managed to put down |
| 01:02:48 |
The word eternity. |
| 01:02:50 |
The Snow Queen had said: |
| 01:02:53 |
...you'll be your own boss. |
| 01:03:20 |
Victor. |
| 01:03:22 |
You have to promise me something. |
| 01:03:26 |
Ruben is vulnerable. |
| 01:03:29 |
Be patient. |
| 01:03:32 |
Show him how beautiful the world is. |
| 01:03:35 |
Promise me you'll show him that. |
| 01:03:40 |
He'll see the very best |
| 01:03:54 |
This letter is from Marie. |
| 01:03:59 |
Ruben, he shall... |
| 01:04:03 |
Keep it. |
| 01:04:06 |
Give it to him at a better moment. |
| 01:04:29 |
Now open them. |
| 01:05:26 |
I think this is the right lens. |
| 01:05:33 |
So these are your spectacles. |
| 01:07:01 |
Mama... |
| 01:07:03 |
Marie? |
| 01:10:07 |
Marie? |
| 01:10:51 |
No last name either? |
| 01:10:54 |
Tinne. |
| 01:11:00 |
Marie Tinne. |
| 01:11:20 |
At a certain point she advertised |
| 01:11:28 |
And... |
| 01:11:34 |
That really is all l know. |
| 01:11:40 |
We'll get through this together, Ruben. |
| 01:11:46 |
Would you like to use my tap |
| 01:11:50 |
That hangs below my belly in my lap |
| 01:11:56 |
Then you can have a holy sup |
| 01:12:00 |
That splatters into your sweet cup |
| 01:12:06 |
I'll read you some poetry occasionally. |
| 01:12:11 |
Are they straight? |
| 01:12:14 |
Apparently not. |
| 01:12:23 |
The first woman isn't the best. |
| 01:12:26 |
She's the first. |
| 01:12:30 |
Do you know any more? |
| 01:12:32 |
Learn to look. |
| 01:12:35 |
What do you know? |
| 01:12:37 |
No more than you do. |
| 01:12:42 |
I'll show you something. |
| 01:12:50 |
Take a look. |
| 01:12:52 |
Take a good look, Ruben. |
| 01:13:06 |
Marie? |
| 01:13:16 |
What's the matter, dear? |
| 01:13:18 |
I thought you were someone else. |
| 01:13:22 |
Yes. |
| 01:13:25 |
Come on. |
| 01:13:30 |
She's here. |
| 01:13:38 |
He wants Marie. |
| 01:13:40 |
I'm Marie. |
| 01:13:41 |
Me too. |
| 01:13:44 |
We're all Marie. |
| 01:13:48 |
We're whoever you want. |
| 01:13:52 |
Victor said we have to be |
| 01:13:55 |
The Snow Queen kissed Kay. |
| 01:13:58 |
No. No, thank you. |
| 01:14:10 |
The kiss penetrated... |
| 01:14:14 |
The kiss penetrated |
| 01:14:21 |
...almost a lump of ice... |
| 01:14:24 |
The call of the grey curlew |
| 01:14:28 |
...but follows a drop in tone. |
| 01:14:31 |
Peewit. Peewit. |
| 01:14:38 |
The sequel to... |
| 01:15:02 |
Kuchuk-Hanem is |
| 01:15:05 |
She had just taken a bath. |
| 01:15:07 |
She stood waiting with a sheep |
| 01:15:11 |
...that followed her like a dog. |
| 01:15:14 |
She's an imperial bitch, well endowed, |
| 01:15:18 |
Confounded folds in horse flesh. |
| 01:22:14 |
Excuse me, can you tell me |
| 01:22:19 |
I don't know my way around here, sir. |
| 01:23:13 |
Excuse me. Books by Andersen. |
| 01:23:43 |
Oh, thank you. |
| 01:23:49 |
Thank you. |
| 01:24:08 |
May I ask you something? |
| 01:24:11 |
Do you know this? |
| 01:24:24 |
You really should read it. |
| 01:24:38 |
Would you mind reading |
| 01:25:03 |
He sat quite still... |
| 01:25:07 |
...stiff and cold |
| 01:25:12 |
She recognised him at once |
| 01:25:18 |
Tears rolled down her red cheeks |
| 01:25:24 |
His icy heart melted. She kissed... |
| 01:25:30 |
She kissed his eyes... |
| 01:25:35 |
...he wept... |
| 01:25:38 |
Come home with me. |
| 01:25:42 |
She kissed his hands... |
| 01:25:45 |
...his cheeks... |
| 01:25:47 |
...and he blushed again |
| 01:25:51 |
Tears washed the splinter from his eye. |
| 01:25:56 |
He recognised her. |
| 01:26:03 |
You thought I was beautiful. |
| 01:26:07 |
Come home with me. |
| 01:26:13 |
Look at me. |
| 01:26:18 |
Look at me. |
| 01:26:26 |
What do you see? |
| 01:26:31 |
What do you see now? |
| 01:26:35 |
Marie. |
| 01:26:38 |
That's not true. |
| 01:26:39 |
Not any more. |
| 01:26:42 |
Don't do it. Don't. |
| 01:26:47 |
You left too. |
| 01:26:49 |
You got eyes. |
| 01:27:16 |
Come back. You belong with me. |
| 01:27:22 |
Not any more. |
| 01:27:24 |
Who says that? |
| 01:27:29 |
Am I beautiful? |
| 01:27:32 |
- Yes. - |
| 01:27:35 |
Don't lie. |
| 01:27:41 |
I belong with you. |
| 01:27:43 |
Why won't you believe me? |
| 01:27:48 |
I don't believe in fairytales. |
| 01:27:54 |
I can't. |
| 01:28:17 |
Marie! |
| 01:28:33 |
Marie! |
| 01:29:31 |
We thought... |
| 01:29:33 |
It never seemed the right moment. |
| 01:30:05 |
She doesn't want to be seen. |
| 01:30:43 |
My love, my everything... |
| 01:30:47 |
...when you read this letter, you'll see |
| 01:30:52 |
I never felt more beautiful than when |
| 01:30:57 |
My love... |
| 01:30:59 |
...seek me with your hands and ears. |
| 01:31:01 |
I am happy to have known |
| 01:31:05 |
The purest. |
| 01:31:08 |
True love is blind. |
| 01:31:11 |
For eternity. |
| 01:31:13 |
Marie. |
