De Sade
|
| 00:02:10 |
Come. Quick! |
| 00:02:15 |
Louis Alphonse Donatien, |
| 00:02:18 |
Dismount, sir. |
| 00:02:20 |
Dismount, sir, or we fire! |
| 00:02:22 |
Fire! |
| 00:07:00 |
You. |
| 00:07:01 |
Fellow. |
| 00:07:07 |
Stop when I speak to you. |
| 00:08:19 |
Ah, Louis. |
| 00:08:20 |
You're here. |
| 00:08:22 |
Good. |
| 00:08:26 |
Uncle? |
| 00:08:28 |
None else, Nephew. |
| 00:08:33 |
Escaped again, have you? |
| 00:08:35 |
Yes, I hope so. |
| 00:08:38 |
Clever lad! |
| 00:08:40 |
What are you doing in here, Uncle? |
| 00:08:44 |
Waiting for you, Nephew. |
| 00:08:47 |
For me? But you couldn't possibly |
| 00:08:53 |
I hoped. |
| 00:08:58 |
Who was that old man I saw in the corridor |
| 00:09:02 |
A servant. |
| 00:09:06 |
I don't recall having seen him before. |
| 00:09:10 |
Well, you know how... |
| 00:09:12 |
...servants come and go. |
| 00:09:14 |
I'll discharge him. |
| 00:09:16 |
Do that, Nephew. |
| 00:09:18 |
But, for now, we're about to start. |
| 00:09:20 |
Start what? |
| 00:09:22 |
A play! Entertainment! |
| 00:09:25 |
Diversion! Pleasure! |
| 00:09:29 |
Which you so uniquely enjoy. |
| 00:09:34 |
I doubt there'll be time for that. |
| 00:09:37 |
Of course you have time. |
| 00:09:39 |
When did you ever not have time |
| 00:09:45 |
Perhaps a moment then, Uncle. |
| 00:09:49 |
We know your weakness, eh, Nephew? |
| 00:09:56 |
Well, not much of an audience |
| 00:09:59 |
All the audience we need, Nephew. |
| 00:10:23 |
Scene: The Montreuil Estate, outside Paris. |
| 00:10:27 |
Characters: |
| 00:10:30 |
...your worshipped parents. |
| 00:10:37 |
And Monsieur and Madame De Montreuil... |
| 00:10:41 |
...your benevolent parents-in-law to be. |
| 00:10:43 |
Occasion: The arrangement |
| 00:10:47 |
...between the Marquis de Sade... |
| 00:10:49 |
...and their daughter, |
| 00:10:53 |
"But first we must set the record right, |
| 00:10:56 |
- "Silence!" |
| 00:10:58 |
- "We will not haggle." |
| 00:11:01 |
"We never haggle!" |
| 00:11:02 |
"We will board the young couple |
| 00:11:06 |
- "Seven years!" |
| 00:11:07 |
- "Six." |
| 00:11:10 |
- "Five years." |
| 00:11:12 |
"And a living allowance." |
| 00:11:13 |
"Of say, 1,000 per annum." |
| 00:11:17 |
- "5,000." |
| 00:11:18 |
"3,000 crowns." |
| 00:11:20 |
- "Pounds." |
| 00:11:21 |
"Very well, then. |
| 00:11:23 |
"L3,000." |
| 00:11:25 |
"For our own part, then, |
| 00:11:28 |
"...and the bridegroom and their party |
| 00:11:33 |
"Let's say a four-horse carriage... |
| 00:11:35 |
"...if I have to mortgage the remainder |
| 00:11:39 |
"...for thus will I ally our families |
| 00:11:43 |
"But first we must set the record right, |
| 00:11:45 |
"Is it not, in fact, true that your son, |
| 00:11:50 |
- "...his unsavory rep..." |
| 00:11:53 |
"Unsavory reputation! It is well known..." |
| 00:11:56 |
- "Silence!" |
| 00:11:58 |
"We are prepared to overlook |
| 00:12:02 |
"...youthful peccadilloes." |
| 00:12:04 |
One moment. |
| 00:12:05 |
"I am prepared to overlook anything |
| 00:12:11 |
- "We, in turn..." |
| 00:12:13 |
"...will add to our end of the dowry |
| 00:12:15 |
"...in my wife's collection. |
| 00:12:17 |
- "Never!" |
| 00:12:19 |
"No, never! No, you can't do that!" |
| 00:12:22 |
This is ludicrous! |
| 00:12:23 |
"My dear!" |
| 00:12:28 |
Stop it! |
| 00:12:32 |
I said, "Stop it!" |
| 00:12:37 |
This is ludicrous! |
| 00:12:39 |
The actual negotiations |
| 00:13:00 |
- They're prepared to see you shortly, sir. |
| 00:13:02 |
Madame de Montreuil said |
| 00:13:06 |
If you will wait. |
| 00:13:44 |
"I sit and I wait here |
| 00:13:48 |
"By day and by night |
| 00:13:51 |
"Where is he, when will he ever come? |
| 00:13:58 |
"I sigh to the sunbeam |
| 00:14:01 |
"And moonlight |
| 00:14:04 |
"Where is he, when will he ever come? |
| 00:14:10 |
"I have waited so by truth now |
| 00:14:14 |
"My true love should come |
| 00:14:17 |
"Where is he, when will he ever come? |
| 00:14:23 |
"Through the waiting, someday |
| 00:14:26 |
"He surely will come |
| 00:14:29 |
"Where is he, when will he ever come?" |
| 00:14:46 |
Mademoiselle. |
| 00:15:02 |
My son. |
| 00:15:03 |
Good. You've arrived just in time. |
| 00:15:06 |
Monsieur, we're ready to sign the contract. |
| 00:15:09 |
You haven't met Monsieur Marais, |
| 00:15:12 |
Who has kindly consented |
| 00:15:17 |
- Monsieur. |
| 00:15:25 |
Well, I'm ready. |
| 00:15:27 |
And we are ready, too, monsieur. |
| 00:16:06 |
What's the matter, my Son? |
| 00:16:08 |
Where is she? |
| 00:16:10 |
I beg your pardon? |
| 00:16:12 |
Your daughter, the one I mean to marry. |
| 00:16:17 |
This is she. |
| 00:16:21 |
But this isn't... |
| 00:16:25 |
Have you no other daughter? |
| 00:16:28 |
Madame, have you no other daughter? |
| 00:16:32 |
My daughter Anne is not involved. |
| 00:16:36 |
But you don't understand. |
| 00:16:41 |
Monsieur, the contract was signed |
| 00:16:46 |
...who loves you dearly. |
| 00:16:47 |
- It must be torn up and redone. |
| 00:16:49 |
Are you mad? |
| 00:16:51 |
Monsieur, your son has signed |
| 00:16:56 |
No, madame, it is not. |
| 00:17:00 |
I warn you, my Son, you have no choice. |
| 00:17:05 |
You must do as you are told, Son. |
| 00:17:19 |
Madame, it's impossible... |
| 00:17:21 |
No! |
| 00:17:39 |
"My dear Son... |
| 00:17:41 |
"I beg that you reconsider and |
| 00:17:45 |
"...that I have hired for your return trip. |
| 00:17:49 |
"I have requested your uncle, the Abbé, |
| 00:17:53 |
"...stating that you left for Avignon |
| 00:17:58 |
"...but unfortunately, |
| 00:18:02 |
- "I've assured Madame..." |
| 00:18:04 |
"I have assured Madame... |
| 00:18:06 |
"...that you are in bed |
| 00:18:10 |
What a fever to be in bed with. |
| 00:18:12 |
There's more. |
| 00:18:14 |
There's always more. |
| 00:18:16 |
"Do you not appreciate, Son, |
| 00:18:19 |
"...and enforceable document... |
| 00:18:25 |
"...and the penalty for its breach |
| 00:18:29 |
"A reprisal, the dear madame assures me, |
| 00:18:34 |
"I beg that you reconsider |
| 00:18:38 |
"...who is most eager for your return." |
| 00:18:42 |
Does the thought of your blushing bride |
| 00:18:48 |
I hasten because of the prison sentence |
| 00:18:52 |
...would be only too happy |
| 00:18:55 |
"In anticipation of your acquiescence, |
| 00:18:59 |
"...and devoted father." |
| 00:19:02 |
- That merde! |
| 00:19:05 |
I said "merde." |
| 00:19:08 |
Merde, my sweet Laura. |
| 00:21:26 |
Behold the maiden waiting for her |
| 00:21:33 |
Renée. |
| 00:21:37 |
- Monsieur, my husband. |
| 00:21:42 |
Yes. |
| 00:21:43 |
You must regard me as |
| 00:21:47 |
No. |
| 00:21:49 |
I've come to give you pleasure... |
| 00:21:53 |
...not rend you limb from limb. |
| 00:21:56 |
I know. |
| 00:21:58 |
Then cease your trembling. |
| 00:22:07 |
You may look at me. |
| 00:22:14 |
You are permitted to regard |
| 00:22:20 |
Voil! |
| 00:22:22 |
Now... |
| 00:22:25 |
...a smile. |
| 00:22:30 |
Enchanting. |
| 00:22:33 |
Now a kiss. |
| 00:22:44 |
If I wished to kiss a statue, |
| 00:22:49 |
Relax. |
| 00:22:57 |
I will perform my duty. |
| 00:23:08 |
No. |
| 00:23:10 |
No, sweet wife. |
| 00:23:13 |
Take a moment... |
| 00:23:16 |
...let your fervor moderate... |
| 00:23:21 |
...or it might overwhelm me. |
| 00:26:24 |
Enough! |
| 00:26:28 |
Don't you ever, ever say, "Enough," to me. |
| 00:26:33 |
I paid for you. |
| 00:26:36 |
You understand that? I paid for you. |
| 00:26:39 |
I pay for your pleasure. And I'll have it. |
| 00:26:44 |
Do as I say... |
| 00:26:46 |
...as I need... |
| 00:26:51 |
...or I'll punish you. |
| 00:26:54 |
That is to say, if such pleasure |
| 00:26:59 |
- But it hurts. |
| 00:27:03 |
But that's what gives me pleasure. |
| 00:27:06 |
And that... |
| 00:27:09 |
...is what's important. |
| 00:27:13 |
Self. |
| 00:27:15 |
Nature speaks to self... |
| 00:27:20 |
...only. |
| 00:27:23 |
You have your nature... |
| 00:27:26 |
...and I have mine. |
| 00:27:29 |
You shall do as I want. |
| 00:27:32 |
Seize him! |
| 00:27:37 |
Come on. |
| 00:27:38 |
Marquis de Sade. |
| 00:27:40 |
I arrest you for vile excesses |
| 00:27:45 |
Innocent? |
| 00:27:48 |
These whores? |
| 00:27:50 |
Innocent? |
| 00:27:52 |
My dear Marais, one has only to look. |
| 00:27:56 |
Take him out. |
| 00:28:34 |
You may come out if you wish. |
| 00:28:40 |
But what... |
| 00:28:43 |
Who put me here? |
| 00:28:45 |
You put yourself there. |
| 00:28:51 |
- The next scene concerns the occasion... |
| 00:28:55 |
- I must find... |
| 00:28:58 |
I don't know. |
| 00:29:00 |
But I cannot stay here with you. |
| 00:29:03 |
And where are you going, monsieur? |
| 00:29:06 |
To see Anne. |
| 00:29:09 |
That's exactly what you must not do. |
| 00:29:17 |
I'm afraid that we'll never agree on |
| 00:29:21 |
I had hoped you wouldn't |
| 00:29:25 |
Did you? |
| 00:29:28 |
You're wrong to blame me |
| 00:29:31 |
...at the Fortress of Vincennes, monsieur. |
| 00:29:33 |
Where's Anne going? |
| 00:29:36 |
I don't think you appreciate |
| 00:29:45 |
You turned the keys both ways, madame. |
| 00:29:48 |
Nevertheless, you agreed |
| 00:29:53 |
...without qualifications. |
| 00:30:00 |
You're sending her away. |
| 00:30:02 |
You agreed to absent yourself from Paris, |
| 00:30:08 |
Not an extraordinary requirement |
| 00:30:10 |
- Why are you sending Anne away? |
| 00:30:13 |
- Her convent? |
| 00:30:16 |
...and a three-month residence each year |
| 00:30:20 |
...of that station. |
| 00:30:24 |
But, madame, l... |
| 00:30:26 |
Do not distress yourself. |
| 00:30:30 |
The bride of Christ she will not be, |
| 00:30:36 |
These things cannot be changed by you, |
| 00:30:40 |
Not by God, if you had your way. |
| 00:30:43 |
Do not blaspheme, monsieur. |
| 00:30:48 |
If you do try to stop her, |
| 00:30:52 |
...or another. |
| 00:30:53 |
But it will be you, monsieur, |
| 00:31:00 |
As I love you as my son, monsieur, |
| 00:31:05 |
I'm sending her away, monsieur, |
| 00:31:09 |
Do you understand that? |
| 00:31:14 |
I understand, madame. |
| 00:31:16 |
I'm glad you do. |
| 00:32:11 |
"There strolling the avenue |
| 00:32:16 |
"Lovely is the scene |
| 00:32:20 |
"The lovers sigh and they share reveries |
| 00:32:24 |
"'Tis a lover's walk |
| 00:32:27 |
"The lanes with flowers rest |
| 00:32:31 |
"On shelves of verdigris |
| 00:32:35 |
"For the lovers will pretty soon leave |

"Soon leave |
| 00:32:41 |
"Soon leave |

"But the lovers will pretty soon leave" |
| 00:32:48 |
- Your pleasure, monsieur. |
| 00:32:51 |
I intrude. |
| 00:32:52 |
No. This is Mademoiselle Colette. |
| 00:32:56 |
Maman and I are to sponsor her debut |
| 00:33:00 |
And this is her singing master, |
| 00:33:02 |
- Your Excellency. |
| 00:33:04 |
My son-in-law has little interest |
| 00:33:08 |
...I assure you, mademoiselle. |
| 00:33:11 |
You always complain there's little time |
| 00:33:14 |
Well, there's no time like the present. |
| 00:33:22 |
Pray continue, child. It's delightful. |
| 00:33:31 |
"Then lonely the avenue |
| 00:33:34 |
"Not long ago, lovely was the scene |
| 00:33:39 |
"The lovers song has been sung |
| 00:33:43 |
"Once a lover's walk" |

Monsieur? |
| 00:34:40 |
Monsieur, may I speak to you for moment? |
| 00:34:43 |
Coming, madame. |
| 00:34:54 |
Did I hear voices? |
| 00:34:56 |
Voices, madame? Perhaps you heard me |
| 00:35:00 |
Did I wake you? |
| 00:35:03 |
No. |
| 00:35:05 |
I sleep poorly at best. |
| 00:35:07 |
I'm truly sorry to hear that, monsieur. |
| 00:35:11 |
Only lonely in my sweet wife's absence. |
| 00:35:15 |
Besides, I fear that sleep will always be... |
| 00:35:20 |
...an elusive butterfly |
| 00:35:28 |
Do you mind if I talk to you as a parent? |
| 00:35:32 |
Madame. |
| 00:35:36 |
I would be your son if you would have me. |
| 00:35:41 |
You've behaved so well these last |
| 00:35:46 |
...to keep you here any longer, |
| 00:35:50 |
Madame, I adore you. |
| 00:36:21 |
Mademoiselle? |
| 00:36:26 |
A thousand pardons, mademoiselle. |
| 00:36:28 |
What Louis? |
| 00:36:31 |
That's a scandal, my darling. |
| 00:36:33 |
Tell me quickly, how can |
| 00:36:37 |
My honor, I claim it. |
| 00:36:40 |
For if ever destiny arranged |
| 00:36:44 |
...need I say, |
| 00:36:50 |
...Mademoiselle La Beauvoisin... |
| 00:36:54 |
...and his Excellence, the Marquis de Sade. |
| 00:36:57 |
The Marquis? Of course, I know. |
| 00:37:02 |
Your servant, mademoiselle. |
| 00:37:06 |
I thought it might be the opposite. |
| 00:37:29 |
- Shall I predict your future? |
| 00:37:32 |
Only your immediate future. |
| 00:37:37 |
You shall come to Castle La Coste, |
| 00:37:40 |
Naturally, for what other reason |
| 00:37:45 |
There are other reasons. |
| 00:37:48 |
There I will produce an endless round |
| 00:38:10 |
Can a man not kiss his own wife in public? |
| 00:38:17 |
Is the law of the state, that decrees one |
| 00:38:21 |
...that decrees another? |
| 00:38:23 |
I hold not. |
| 00:38:27 |
Men and women... |
| 00:38:28 |
For gentlemen and ladies |
| 00:38:46 |
Let us agree there is no one single reality... |
| 00:38:51 |
...not on this stage, not in this world. |
| 00:38:55 |
All is in the mind. |
| 00:38:59 |
Imagination is the only truth... |
| 00:39:06 |
"...because it cannot be contradicted |
| 00:39:14 |
This theater will present |
| 00:39:19 |
Shakespeare called the world a stage. |
| 00:39:23 |
Well, our stage... |
| 00:39:26 |
...shall be our world. |
| 00:39:37 |
- Tonight then... |
| 00:39:40 |
The esteemed Abbé de Sade. |
| 00:39:43 |
...we shall present a minor segment... |
| 00:39:46 |
...of a major tragicomedy entitled: |
| 00:39:50 |
Childhood... |
| 00:39:51 |
... of Poor Little Louis Alphonse. |
| 00:39:57 |
- The setting: |
| 00:40:04 |
The private estate of the esteemed |
| 00:40:16 |
The occasion: |
| 00:40:17 |
Lmmediately following a brisk canter |
| 00:40:21 |
...in the company of two ladies... |
| 00:40:25 |
...his housekeeper and her niece. |
| 00:40:28 |
The characters: |
| 00:40:31 |
Madame Grandcourt... |
| 00:40:35 |
...the housekeeper, and her niece... |
| 00:40:40 |
...Mademoiselle Cerise-lntactus. |
| 00:40:46 |
And poor little Louis Alphonse himself. |
| 00:40:55 |
And last, but of course, not least... |
| 00:41:01 |
...Abbé de Sade, in person. |
| 00:41:11 |
"Now, here's a stallion |
| 00:41:15 |
"Or vice-versa." |
| 00:41:17 |
"And as fine a set of flanks |
| 00:41:23 |
"The finest flanks. |
| 00:41:25 |
"The finest for you, dear Reverend." |
| 00:41:30 |
"Shy little vixen, eh? |
| 00:41:33 |
"Well, give her some wine |
| 00:41:37 |
"It is not to my taste, sir." |
| 00:41:39 |
"Why then, girl, sit down... |
| 00:41:42 |
"...and drink it in one gulp." |
| 00:41:50 |
"Auntie, what is happening?" |
| 00:41:52 |
"You're drinking wine, girl." |
| 00:41:55 |
"No wonder I like it so much, Auntie." |
| 00:42:01 |
"Drink, child, drink. |
| 00:42:20 |
"The little rascal's spying on us, eh?" |
| 00:42:36 |
Stop it! |
| 00:42:37 |
Come here. |
| 00:42:47 |
Spying on us, were you? |
| 00:42:51 |
You're a very naughty boy. |
| 00:42:55 |
- Lf you spank me, I'll tell. |
| 00:42:59 |
Tell what you were doing. |
| 00:43:02 |
That would be foolish. |
| 00:43:05 |
- They would only call you evil-minded. |
| 00:43:08 |
Mark this, boy. |
| 00:43:11 |
...so long as one presents |
| 00:43:15 |
That's hypocrisy. |
| 00:43:16 |
And where did you learn |
| 00:43:20 |
I learned it. And it's true. |
| 00:43:22 |
What a clever lad you've become. |
| 00:43:26 |
Don't let him. |
| 00:43:29 |
- Hold him. |
| 00:43:30 |
Come here, lass. Good girl. |
| 00:43:43 |
Flay the culprit. |
| 00:43:50 |
- Punish him. |
| 00:43:55 |
Or it'll be you under the lash. |
| 00:44:02 |
Again. |
| 00:44:49 |
"Louis is a good boy... |
| 00:44:52 |
"...now." |
| 00:46:01 |
Uncle. |
| 00:46:05 |
Bravo, Louis. |
| 00:46:07 |
A triumph, your greatest... |
| 00:46:09 |
...whose applause will echo |
| 00:46:12 |
Thank you, Uncle. |
| 00:46:13 |
But fame has its price. |
| 00:46:16 |
And no doubt your mother-in-law |
| 00:46:19 |
I'm very much afraid |
| 00:46:23 |
But that's tomorrow... |
| 00:46:24 |
...and we live for the moment, |
| 00:46:27 |
What matter if your wife is |
| 00:46:30 |
...if you go deeper and deeper into debt? |
| 00:46:33 |
You enjoy yourself. |
| 00:46:35 |
I have a little something arranged... |
| 00:46:38 |
...a very special treat. |
| 00:46:42 |
- In there? |
| 00:46:44 |
Something guaranteed |
| 00:47:43 |
Is there someone here? |
| 00:47:48 |
Is there anyone here? |
| 00:47:50 |
A friend who mourns. |
| 00:47:57 |
I cannot. |
| 00:48:00 |
Didn't you love your father? |
| 00:48:03 |
What was there to love? |
| 00:48:09 |
He let my mother cut me loose |
| 00:48:15 |
And I kept waiting for him. |
| 00:48:18 |
Staying in no place for more than... |
| 00:48:22 |
...months. |
| 00:48:27 |
Except five years once. |
| 00:48:30 |
With my uncle. |
| 00:48:33 |
Those five years... |
| 00:48:35 |
You blame your father for that? |
| 00:48:39 |
I do. |
| 00:48:40 |
You are unjust then, Louis. |
| 00:48:47 |
Who are you? |
| 00:54:21 |
No. |
| 00:54:22 |
I cannot withdraw my charge. |
| 00:54:25 |
Not if you should offer me 1,000 crowns. |
| 00:54:29 |
That is a great amount of money, |
| 00:54:33 |
I am greatly injured. |
| 00:54:36 |
Shall we say L1,000, mademoiselle? |
| 00:54:42 |
Say you do go to court, |
| 00:54:47 |
And you know what courts are nowadays... |
| 00:54:49 |
...with a commoner against a person... |
| 00:54:52 |
...of noble birth. |
| 00:54:55 |
With his reputation? |
| 00:54:57 |
He's been in enough scandals on his own |
| 00:55:02 |
I'll win, all right. |
| 00:55:05 |
Shall we say L1,250? |
| 00:55:08 |
And only because |
| 00:55:13 |
Well... |
| 00:55:14 |
Consider, Rose. |
| 00:55:18 |
I have been abused! |
| 00:55:19 |
L1,500, girl, or nothing. |
| 00:55:23 |
My husband is president |
| 00:55:26 |
You can be jailed as a prostitute. |
| 00:55:33 |
I suggest you accept my offer. |
| 00:55:37 |
All right. I'll take the L1,500 then. |
| 00:55:43 |
Show Madame Keller |
| 00:55:47 |
A wise decision, Rose. |
| 00:55:58 |
When will you return to |
| 00:56:01 |
We made a bargain. |
| 00:56:03 |
And this time, you're going to stick by it. |
| 00:56:06 |
François... |
| 00:56:10 |
...bring me wine. |
| 00:56:14 |
François, no wine for his Lordship. |
| 00:56:19 |
Yes, madame. |
| 00:56:23 |
That was unnecessary, madame, to rob me |
| 00:56:31 |
You rob us all of dignity before the world. |
| 00:56:37 |
And your honor is no better |
| 00:56:40 |
You go today to La Coste... |
| 00:56:44 |
...with your wife |
| 00:56:47 |
You do this because I say so... |
| 00:56:51 |
...because in your financial state, |
| 00:56:55 |
Either that, |
| 00:57:48 |
Anne! |
| 00:58:02 |
Louis? |
| 00:58:07 |
What are you doing to me? |
| 00:58:08 |
I, Nephew? |
| 00:58:16 |
Why can't I reach her? |
| 00:58:19 |
Why must you reach her? |
| 00:58:21 |
Because I must. |
| 00:58:25 |
There's a moment... |
| 00:58:28 |
...and she's part of it. |
| 00:58:31 |
Your "moment of reality" again. |
| 00:58:35 |
I want to be with her. |
| 00:58:39 |
Then count to eight. |
| 00:58:45 |
Eight is your answer. |
| 00:58:48 |
You must accept my direction. |
| 00:58:51 |
You have no hope otherwise. |
| 00:58:56 |
One... |
| 00:58:58 |
...two... |
| 00:59:00 |
...three... |
| 00:59:03 |
...four... |
| 00:59:05 |
...five... |
| 00:59:07 |
...six... |
| 00:59:10 |
...seven... |
| 00:59:13 |
...eight. |
| 00:59:24 |
Put those chairs on either side of the door. |
| 00:59:40 |
Move that table back. |
| 00:59:42 |
Sir? |
| 00:59:43 |
I said I wanted no one here |
| 00:59:50 |
Anne. |
| 00:59:51 |
I'm sorry. I intrude. |
| 00:59:54 |
I'll go. |
| 00:59:56 |
No. |
| 00:59:58 |
You'll do no such thing. |
| 01:00:02 |
I wanted to see your theater for so long. |
| 01:00:07 |
Yes, of course. |
| 01:00:12 |
It's as lovely as you described it |
| 01:00:18 |
Come. |
| 01:00:19 |
Come up on the stage. |
| 01:00:32 |
Well, do you like it? |
| 01:00:37 |
It's beautiful. |
| 01:00:40 |
Is it supposed to be a ballroom? |
| 01:00:43 |
Yes. It's a ballroom for a play I've written. |
| 01:00:48 |
I've been working on it night and day. |
| 01:00:50 |
Poor Louis. I must leave you to work. |
| 01:00:52 |
No, please. I cherish your concern for me. |
| 01:00:58 |
My work isn't so important. |
| 01:01:00 |
But it must be. |
| 01:01:02 |
There aren't many |
| 01:01:06 |
Tell me... |
| 01:01:08 |
...why are you the only one who never |
| 01:01:13 |
Don't I frighten you? |
| 01:01:16 |
You know you don't. |
| 01:01:20 |
Perhaps if someone... |
| 01:01:25 |
...gave you love... |
| 01:01:28 |
- I must go now. |
| 01:01:31 |
I'd like you to wear this. |
| 01:01:33 |
What is it? |
| 01:01:34 |
I've always had it. |
| 01:01:37 |
Then Renée should have it. I must go now. |
| 01:01:40 |
Come away with me. |
| 01:01:42 |
Louis, I have no right to be here |
| 01:01:46 |
All right, I agree. I'll stop. |
| 01:01:51 |
I'll stop. But please don't go. |
| 01:01:55 |
I must. |
| 01:02:00 |
No, wait. |
| 01:02:03 |
Look. |
| 01:02:05 |
We're in a ballroom... |
| 01:02:08 |
...alone. |
| 01:02:10 |
It may never happen again. |
| 01:02:12 |
Come. |
| 01:02:14 |
Dance with me. |
| 01:06:36 |
Love me. |
| 01:07:34 |
Not that way, Louis. |
| 01:07:38 |
Here. |
| 01:07:46 |
Yes. |
| 01:07:54 |
It's only make-believe, as you can see. |
| 01:08:02 |
Yes. |
| 01:08:04 |
Touch it. |
| 01:08:09 |
That's right. |
| 01:08:14 |
You can come out. |
| 01:08:17 |
Come along. |
| 01:08:19 |
Come along. Yes. |
| 01:08:24 |
Louis. |
| 01:08:25 |
Where are we? |
| 01:08:28 |
With me, darling. |
| 01:08:34 |
I was in a nightmare and you called me. |
| 01:08:36 |
I should have let you sleep. |
| 01:08:47 |
You really are with me. |
| 01:08:51 |
"Come to Italy," I said, |
| 01:08:54 |
You just said yes. |
| 01:08:57 |
Madness. |
| 01:08:58 |
Madness, I agree. |
| 01:09:01 |
- And quite awful. |
| 01:09:03 |
To run off with you? Awful. |
| 01:09:12 |
Promise me something. |
| 01:09:16 |
I will never leave you. |
| 01:09:18 |
Baron Rothschild's residence, |
| 01:09:25 |
Must you see him? |
| 01:09:26 |
Well, we need money to travel. |
| 01:09:28 |
No, please. |
| 01:09:32 |
There's no danger. |
| 01:09:55 |
Halt! |
| 01:10:13 |
Drive on! |
| 01:10:17 |
Fire! |
| 01:11:57 |
You're trembling, Louis. |
| 01:12:00 |
Am I? |
| 01:12:02 |
Why? |
| 01:12:05 |
Fear. |
| 01:12:08 |
Why now? |
| 01:12:12 |
Because I have something to lose now. |
| 01:12:17 |
I found my moment. |
| 01:12:22 |
And I don't know... |
| 01:12:23 |
What? |
| 01:12:27 |
...if I can hold on to it. |
| 01:12:33 |
And yet... |
| 01:12:35 |
You talk in riddles, lover. Yet what? |
| 01:12:39 |
And yet, on the other hand... |
| 01:12:44 |
...it can never be taken away from me. |
| 01:13:41 |
If you step outside that door, |
| 01:13:46 |
...give you even food |
| 01:13:49 |
I'm not afraid of your threats. |
| 01:13:54 |
You repeat that like a catechism |
| 01:14:00 |
...from that man |
| 01:14:06 |
Don't you understand |
| 01:14:10 |
...of self-respect for all of us? |
| 01:14:13 |
Lord and Lady de Beaumont have made |
| 01:14:16 |
You've bought me their son as a suitor |
| 01:14:19 |
For soiled goods, |
| 01:14:22 |
If I agree, will you have Louis freed? |
| 01:14:26 |
The de Beaumonts' only condition was that |
| 01:14:32 |
Yes, just one condition: |
| 01:14:34 |
That a man stays locked in a filthy prison |
| 01:14:39 |
This is past discussion now. |
| 01:14:42 |
What I want is your agreement now. |
| 01:14:48 |
What shall I do, Louis? |
| 01:14:50 |
I've always been especially |
| 01:14:55 |
Despite the discrepancy in our ages, |
| 01:15:00 |
Abbé. |
| 01:15:01 |
Put your head here and give vent |
| 01:15:05 |
...in his faraway prison. |
| 01:15:07 |
Shed your tears freely, |
| 01:15:12 |
...and sting my loving bosom. |
| 01:15:14 |
Abbé. |
| 01:15:16 |
How say you, Louis? |
| 01:15:17 |
Will the moment |
| 01:15:21 |
...be the moment of reality you seek? |
| 01:15:42 |
You. |
| 01:15:48 |
What are you doing here? |
| 01:15:52 |
I don't need your answer. |
| 01:15:56 |
You've come to gloat. |
| 01:15:59 |
Come to watch me chained... |
| 01:16:02 |
...begging for mercy. |
| 01:16:05 |
Well, what passion does my degradation |
| 01:16:11 |
What unspeakable stirrings are there |
| 01:16:17 |
...to see poor Louis... |
| 01:16:20 |
...crushed... |
| 01:16:22 |
...in his loathsome dungeon? |
| 01:16:27 |
Well, answer me! |
| 01:16:33 |
What? |
| 01:16:37 |
Crying? |
| 01:16:46 |
Why? |
| 01:16:49 |
For me? |
| 01:16:50 |
Now you would cry for me? |
| 01:16:53 |
Why? |
| 01:16:57 |
You cry for yourself. |
| 01:17:01 |
That's it. Because I reveal you to yourself. |
| 01:17:05 |
Yes. You see in yourself the corruption |
| 01:17:12 |
...but is in all of us. |
| 01:17:15 |
And you weep to see it. |
| 01:17:17 |
No... |
| 01:17:20 |
...I don't weep for you. |
| 01:17:24 |
Your weakness... |
| 01:17:27 |
...made you deserve |
| 01:17:32 |
Nor for myself. |
| 01:17:36 |
My strength... |
| 01:17:38 |
...can bear whatever befalls me. |
| 01:17:45 |
I weep... |
| 01:17:50 |
For whom? |
| 01:17:53 |
For Renée, who is innocent. |
| 01:17:59 |
And who loves you, God help her. |
| 01:18:16 |
What if... |
| 01:18:21 |
...I changed? |
| 01:18:27 |
You cannot change. |
| 01:18:30 |
And your promises mean nothing. |
| 01:18:33 |
The Devil owns you. |
| 01:18:38 |
No, madame, that's something |
| 01:18:42 |
It's not the Devil, madame. |
| 01:18:49 |
It is our nature. |
| 01:18:52 |
You say that, write it... |
| 01:18:55 |
...and I don't understand what you mean. |
| 01:19:00 |
You see everybody else in your own image. |
| 01:19:05 |
I am trying to make you realize... |
| 01:19:09 |
...that you cannot flay her pure soul... |
| 01:19:15 |
...as you flay the wanton flesh of whores. |
| 01:19:20 |
You still don't understand the enormity |
| 01:19:27 |
You've deserted a wife who loves you... |
| 01:19:31 |
...you've abandoned your children |
| 01:19:35 |
...and who... |
| 01:19:38 |
Who did you pervert |
| 01:19:43 |
Your wife's own sister! My flesh! |
| 01:19:48 |
My daughter, Anne! |
| 01:19:51 |
And you still ask me why I weep? |
| 01:20:02 |
I beg you... |
| 01:20:03 |
...give me... |
| 01:20:05 |
...one... |
| 01:20:07 |
...one chance. |
| 01:20:10 |
I tell you, Louis. I tell you now. |
| 01:20:17 |
You will never, never be free again. |
| 01:20:21 |
You will stay here in this prison |
| 01:20:27 |
Look well on these walls |
| 01:20:32 |
Because this is... |
| 01:20:35 |
...where you're going to die. |
| 01:20:50 |
Madame, I will change. |
| 01:20:55 |
I will change! |
| 01:20:57 |
I swear it! |
| 01:21:00 |
I will change! |
| 01:21:18 |
Uncle? |
| 01:21:19 |
"Silence!" |
| 01:21:20 |
Please, Uncle, no plays. Not now, please. |
| 01:21:24 |
"I insist on silence!" |
| 01:21:27 |
Please. |
| 01:21:29 |
- Anne is dead. |
| 01:21:35 |
No! No, damn you! |
| 01:21:38 |
Take off those damn masks. |
| 01:21:43 |
The farce is over! |
| 01:21:46 |
"You may continue with the prosecution." |
| 01:21:48 |
"We will prove beyond a doubt, my Lord... |
| 01:21:51 |
"...that Louis Alphonse Donatien, |
| 01:21:56 |
"...the life of his sister-in-law, |
| 01:22:01 |
Life? |
| 01:22:02 |
"First witness." |
| 01:22:06 |
"Inspector Marais, what is your estimate |
| 01:22:10 |
"He is evil, he is degenerate, |
| 01:22:16 |
But I had nothing to do with her death. |
| 01:22:19 |
She died of the plague. |
| 01:22:23 |
God, why do I bother to argue with you? |
| 01:22:29 |
"I have more witnesses. |
| 01:22:39 |
"These three are aunts of the accused, |
| 01:22:44 |
"...honorable abbesses, virtuous women, |

"...to caring for him as a child. |
| 01:22:52 |
"My nephew is evil, ungrateful." |
| 01:22:54 |
No! |
| 01:22:55 |
"My nephew is degenerate, an animal." |
| 01:22:57 |
No! |
| 01:22:58 |
"No, my nephew is worse |
| 01:23:01 |
They're not my aunts, they're actresses. |
| 01:23:04 |
This is a travesty. |
| 01:23:06 |
Uncle, stop this. |
| 01:23:09 |
"Can we then allow a wild animal... |
| 01:23:12 |
"...to roam free |
| 01:23:16 |
"This killer of a sweet, innocent girl..." |
| 01:23:19 |
How dare you say I took her life, |
| 01:23:24 |
"You killed her." |
| 01:24:04 |
We had planned... |
| 01:24:07 |
... but she died of the plague. |
| 01:24:09 |
There was nothing I could do. |
| 01:24:17 |
"Speak your judgments." |
| 01:24:19 |
"Put him away forever!" |
| 01:24:25 |
"I have here a lettre de cachet |

"...and forever!" |
| 01:24:37 |
"Put him away forever!" |
| 01:24:48 |
No! |
| 01:25:13 |
Anne, tell them! |
| 01:25:17 |
"He is my murderer." |
| 01:25:24 |
"Behead him!" |
| 01:26:06 |
What do you see? |
| 01:26:08 |
What do you wish me to see? |
| 01:26:11 |
What is the meaning of eight? |
| 01:26:14 |
Eight is the sign of infinity. |
| 01:26:17 |
The serpent swallowing its tail. |
| 01:26:21 |
Why do you ask? |
| 01:26:31 |
Can you tell me what this is? |
| 01:26:37 |
It belonged to your mother. |
| 01:26:41 |
You stole it from her. |
| 01:26:44 |
You can see that? |
| 01:26:45 |
It is very clear. |
| 01:26:48 |
You were four years old. |
| 01:26:51 |
You were being sent away |
| 01:26:56 |
You take this although |
| 01:27:00 |
Yes. |
| 01:27:04 |
She cherished her jewels |
| 01:27:08 |
I was sold instead of them. |
| 01:27:14 |
What is to come, gypsy? |
| 01:27:17 |
A revolution will rend France... |
| 01:27:21 |
...a bacchanalia of blood. |
| 01:27:24 |
They will say that you are |
| 01:27:30 |
What will happen to me, gypsy? |
| 01:27:35 |
You'll be put in an asylum. |
| 01:27:37 |
You'll know pain and torment. |
| 01:27:44 |
How long? |
| 01:27:45 |
Twenty-eight years... |
| 01:27:47 |
...Nephew. |
| 01:27:50 |
You, always you. |
| 01:27:55 |
Corrupter of my youth. |
| 01:27:58 |
Author of my sins. |
| 01:28:00 |
Nonsense, Nephew. |
| 01:28:03 |
Am I a force of nature? |
| 01:28:06 |
I don't know, Uncle, perhaps you are. |
| 01:28:09 |
You yourself proclaimed it: |
| 01:28:12 |
"Man is not seduced by evil. |
| 01:28:15 |
"He is evil... |
| 01:28:16 |
"...evil by nature." |
| 01:28:19 |
You condemn me for corrupting |
| 01:28:25 |
You were my teacher. |
| 01:28:28 |
Did I teach you falsely? |
| 01:28:31 |
In one thing, yes. |
| 01:28:33 |
And that? |
| 01:28:40 |
That's one's pleasure |
| 01:28:45 |
It saddens me, Nephew, but I'm a saint. |
| 01:28:49 |
You lack the capacity for pleasure. |
| 01:28:53 |
It frightens you. |
| 01:28:55 |
After the transport, |
| 01:28:59 |
You fear God's vengeance in the hereafter |
| 01:29:05 |
...of suffering here on earth. |
| 01:29:07 |
If I am evil, you seduced me. |
| 01:29:10 |
Initiated rather than seduced. |
| 01:29:14 |
No, Nephew, |
| 01:29:19 |
...on which I was required to lay snares. |
| 01:29:22 |
Demon! Bastard! |
| 01:29:25 |
Liar! She never gave herself to you. |
| 01:29:27 |
What if she had? |
| 01:29:31 |
"Love: A disposition of the organs, |
| 01:29:36 |
Marquis de Sade. |
| 01:29:41 |
You rob me of everything... |
| 01:29:44 |
...even of hope for what might have been. |
| 01:29:50 |
With her... |
| 01:29:53 |
...I could... |
| 01:29:56 |
I could've... |
| 01:29:58 |
Could have what? |
| 01:30:02 |
Been different. |
| 01:30:05 |
Renée. |
| 01:30:06 |
My husband. |
| 01:30:10 |
I sorrow for the pain I've given you. |
| 01:30:14 |
Perhaps someday, |
| 01:30:18 |
What life would I have had without you? |
| 01:30:21 |
I was an ugly, stupid girl and... |
| 01:30:25 |
...not much of a woman. |
| 01:30:29 |
There were a few times... |
| 01:30:31 |
...a few... |
| 01:30:37 |
You have suffered. |
| 01:30:39 |
At least I could share your fate |
| 01:30:42 |
No one can take that from me. |
| 01:30:50 |
We shall go to Paris |
| 01:30:53 |
We can't. My mother would |
| 01:31:02 |
Perhaps she won't. |
| 01:31:07 |
It's so cold here. |
| 01:31:18 |
If only we could go to a warm place |
| 01:31:23 |
Yes. |
| 01:31:26 |
A warm place. |
| 01:32:05 |
You mean to say you had a choice? |
| 01:32:08 |
Then good and evil do exist. |
| 01:32:11 |
And you chose evil. |
| 01:32:15 |
Poor, damn Louis. |
| 01:32:18 |
Why then... |
| 01:32:21 |
...I have no answers. |
| 01:32:26 |
None. |
| 01:32:28 |
I can find no meaning to my life. |
| 01:32:33 |
I cannot find my moment of reality |
| 01:32:37 |
Not at all. |
| 01:32:43 |
There is no reality. |
| 01:32:45 |
It's all in the mind. |
| 01:32:51 |
And there's nothing. |
| 01:33:10 |
What'll we burn when |
| 01:33:12 |
Each other. |
| 01:33:22 |
Go on! You're doing very well. |
| 01:33:35 |
Very good! |
| 01:33:47 |
Burn. |
| 01:33:51 |
The illumination of my life has gone out. |
| 01:33:55 |
Do you know what that means? |
| 01:34:00 |
Well, it doesn't matter. |
| 01:34:49 |
Bravo! |
| 01:34:51 |
Come! |
| 01:34:55 |
Let's put on a play. |
| 01:36:20 |
Do as you will! |
| 01:36:23 |
If not compelled, then why must I do |
| 01:40:17 |
Renée! |
| 01:40:36 |
Renée! |
| 01:40:50 |
Forgive me. |
| 01:41:02 |
Marquis. |
| 01:41:10 |
It is not my province to forgive. |
| 01:41:14 |
No. |
| 01:41:16 |
Nor mine to ask. |
| 01:41:24 |
Have you been dreaming again? |
| 01:41:26 |
More than that. Much, much more. |
| 01:41:31 |
Trying to escape. |
| 01:41:33 |
At least, the young Marquis was trying. |
| 01:41:39 |
The young Marquis? |
| 01:41:42 |
Indeed. |
| 01:41:44 |
You must not judge by this. |
| 01:41:47 |
Inside is a fit, young fellow... |
| 01:41:50 |
...trying to escape his prison... |
| 01:41:53 |
...this white slug in which he's encased. |
| 01:41:58 |
He must be free... |
| 01:42:00 |
...for freedom is his life. |
| 01:42:06 |
I've been following him about... |
| 01:42:10 |
...as he relived that life... |
| 01:42:13 |
...seeking out a special moment of reality. |
| 01:42:19 |
And did he find it? |
| 01:42:21 |
I'm not sure. |
| 01:42:23 |
Nor is he. |
| 01:42:27 |
I think he will go back again... |
| 01:42:31 |
...search yet one more time. |
| 01:42:36 |
Perhaps he will find it then. |
| 01:42:41 |
Reality... |
| 01:42:44 |
...whatever that may be. |
| 01:42:57 |
Eight is the sign of infinity, |
