Fear s of the Dark Peur s du noir
|
| 00:04:21 |
I'm afraid it would be hard |
| 00:04:23 |
for me to prove the superiority |
| 00:04:28 |
to an Afghan villager who's |
| 00:04:44 |
I'm afraid to be invited |
| 00:04:48 |
at friends of friends |
| 00:04:50 |
and get served fat white |
| 00:04:56 |
or fried flying locusts |
| 00:05:00 |
or baked snake with sauce. |
| 00:05:39 |
The pain... wakes me up. |
| 00:05:44 |
It's almost time... |
| 00:05:49 |
It's... day. |
| 00:05:53 |
Another day. |
| 00:05:55 |
It seems cold outside. |
| 00:05:59 |
Cold and grey. |
| 00:06:03 |
When I was little, I thought |
| 00:06:09 |
We lived in the North, |
| 00:06:14 |
There wasn't a living soul to |
| 00:06:20 |
Because I was all alone, |
| 00:06:27 |
I went to explore the forest. |
| 00:06:29 |
I was looking for interesting animals and plants. |
| 00:06:37 |
And insects. |
| 00:06:40 |
I was fascinated by insects. |
| 00:07:28 |
Mom prohibited me to bring my |
| 00:07:31 |
She found them dirty and disgusting. |
| 00:07:35 |
Eric, is that you? |
| 00:07:38 |
Yes, mom. I'm coming! |
| 00:07:43 |
Even though she hated my |
| 00:07:46 |
she still encouraged my interest |
| 00:07:49 |
and let me set up a corner |
| 00:07:53 |
My lab. |
| 00:07:56 |
That was my refuge. |
| 00:07:58 |
There I spend hours and hours |
| 00:08:02 |
and studying my specimen. |
| 00:08:19 |
Eric, come here! Come here! |
| 00:08:22 |
I'm coming, mom! |
| 00:08:25 |
Without knowing why, |
| 00:08:28 |
Eric! |
| 00:08:31 |
I probably didn't want my |
| 00:08:35 |
After dinner I hurried to my room. |
| 00:08:40 |
But it was gone. |
| 00:08:44 |
I looked everywhere, but my |
| 00:08:49 |
In the end I gave up. |
| 00:08:52 |
It was hard to forget. |
| 00:08:59 |
For years I often heard the |
| 00:09:03 |
Something crawling and itching. |
| 00:09:06 |
At the back of my bed. |
| 00:09:13 |
I took the bed with me when I |
| 00:09:18 |
I found a small apartment just for me |
| 00:09:23 |
I didn't want a room mate |
| 00:09:25 |
who would distract me. |
| 00:09:29 |
All I needed, |
| 00:09:31 |
was a nice quiet place to work. |
| 00:09:40 |
After all those years in seclusion |
| 00:09:45 |
especially girls. |
| 00:09:47 |
Look at that dickhead! |
| 00:09:52 |
You want my photo? |
| 00:09:58 |
They were pretty and charming. |
| 00:10:03 |
But it was impossible to get |
| 00:10:10 |
Excuse me. |
| 00:10:12 |
That's why I was so surprised |
| 00:10:16 |
I don't want to disturb you, but... |
| 00:10:22 |
Eh... yes... I... I... |
| 00:10:25 |
I've seen you there. |
| 00:10:27 |
You have your nose in a book |
| 00:10:32 |
I've missed the last lesson. |
| 00:10:36 |
Eh yes. Of course. Here... they are. |
| 00:10:40 |
You'll get them back soon, OK? |
| 00:10:43 |
By the way, my name is Laura. |
| 00:10:49 |
Eh... uhm... Eric. I'm Eric. |
| 00:10:52 |
Thanks, Eric. I have to go. |
| 00:11:04 |
Hello, Laura? It's Eric. Ah... no. |
| 00:11:09 |
Laura? It's Eric. |
| 00:11:13 |
No... no. |
| 00:11:22 |
What am I doing? |
| 00:11:28 |
Hello? |
| 00:11:31 |
Eric from the biology class. |
| 00:11:34 |
Hey, your notes are great! |
| 00:11:38 |
Actually I wanted... |
| 00:11:44 |
To the cinema? OK! Cool! |
| 00:11:47 |
Really? Are you sure? |
| 00:11:51 |
At what time does the movie start? |
| 00:12:00 |
Do you get it now? |
| 00:12:04 |
That you're mine... just mine! |
| 00:12:07 |
O, Jack... yes... Yes! |
| 00:12:10 |
You're all mine! |
| 00:12:15 |
Yes. |
| 00:12:17 |
Leave me be. Leave me be! |
| 00:12:19 |
I wasn't really watching the film... |
| 00:12:24 |
...sitting there next to Laura... |
| 00:12:29 |
...was enough to make me happy. |
| 00:12:32 |
Oh, no! |
| 00:12:35 |
Yes! |
| 00:12:37 |
I think the movie was great! |
| 00:12:42 |
It should be like that |
| 00:12:44 |
Are we getting a drink? |
| 00:12:51 |
Yummy! Vodka always gives me |
| 00:12:57 |
She was giving me a strange feeling. |
| 00:13:01 |
When she wanted to kiss me, |
| 00:13:07 |
I think I'll have another one. You? |
| 00:13:12 |
I wasn't used to bars, |
| 00:13:17 |
But I didn't want Laura to think |
| 00:13:20 |
All right! |
| 00:13:23 |
I like your dimples. |
| 00:13:27 |
I had the feeling I was dragged |
| 00:13:32 |
I wanted that dream to last |
| 00:13:42 |
Wow! Your apartment is nice. |
| 00:13:46 |
Let's see... |
| 00:13:48 |
When she wanted to come along to my apartment... |
| 00:13:52 |
...I heard myself respond "Yes". |
| 00:13:58 |
What a sweet little bed! |
| 00:14:04 |
But that's a cowboy bed! |
| 00:14:06 |
Do you want to play cowboys and Indians? |
| 00:14:14 |
I know it's ridiculous, but... |
| 00:14:16 |
I didn't have money to buy a new one. |
| 00:14:18 |
But I didn't say it's ridiculous. |
| 00:14:22 |
You're so serious! Come here. |
| 00:14:25 |
Let's see if you're as serious |
| 00:14:30 |
Acting like the quiet guy? |
| 00:15:06 |
Laura? |
| 00:15:09 |
Laura, wake up... |
| 00:15:14 |
But...! |
| 00:15:17 |
Good morning. |
| 00:15:20 |
Don't I get my good morning kiss? |
| 00:15:23 |
Don't move! I'll be right back! |
| 00:15:26 |
Don't worry. |
| 00:15:29 |
The cut looked deep and ugly. |
| 00:15:33 |
I didn't understand how she |
| 00:15:37 |
I'll be careful. |
| 00:15:40 |
If it hurts |
| 00:15:42 |
let me know, OK? |
| 00:15:47 |
There. |
| 00:15:49 |
That will do the job for a while. |
| 00:15:51 |
If you get dressed, I can take |
| 00:15:55 |
But I don't need a doctor... |
| 00:16:00 |
A kiss and all will be fine. |
| 00:16:04 |
Come... I won't bite, you know. |
| 00:16:15 |
You see... that wasn't so bad. |
| 00:16:20 |
OK... if you're sure you |
| 00:16:23 |
we might attend class. |
| 00:16:27 |
But it's so nice here with you... |
| 00:16:32 |
I don't feel like leaving. |
| 00:16:37 |
That day I got to class far too late. |
| 00:16:44 |
When I got home in the evening... |
| 00:16:49 |
I was exhausted. |
| 00:17:03 |
Good evening! |
| 00:17:05 |
I was looking forward to you coming home. |
| 00:17:07 |
After a hard day's work |
| 00:17:15 |
That looks good. |
| 00:17:19 |
Her behaviour was strange, |
| 00:17:23 |
but did I really want it to change? |
| 00:17:28 |
No... finally I had a girlfriend. |
| 00:17:34 |
And she was sexy... |
| 00:17:36 |
and she seemed to like me. |
| 00:17:41 |
It was great for a while... |
| 00:17:45 |
Really great. |
| 00:17:48 |
But as the days went by, |
| 00:17:54 |
Laura, I have to finish that chapter. |
| 00:18:00 |
What? Did I say something wrong? |
| 00:18:03 |
I would like to know |
| 00:18:05 |
what's more important to you. |
| 00:18:11 |
Things got worse. |
| 00:18:15 |
Worse and worse. |
| 00:18:20 |
Like nothing mattered to her |
| 00:18:25 |
She only left the apartment |
| 00:18:29 |
It seemed like her only reason |
| 00:18:33 |
was to make rich, heavy dishes |
| 00:18:43 |
She changed physically as well... |
| 00:18:45 |
You're mine! |
| 00:18:48 |
You're all mine. |
| 00:18:52 |
You're my bitch! Eh? |
| 00:18:56 |
You're mine forever! |
| 00:18:58 |
Yes! |
| 00:19:01 |
You're mine... |
| 00:19:15 |
One day I got home from class |
| 00:19:18 |
to discover she cut off |
| 00:19:21 |
Laura? |
| 00:19:23 |
Then I knew the end was close at hand. |
| 00:19:27 |
Here, I made you a refreshment. |
| 00:19:31 |
Thanks, but I'm not thirsty. |
| 00:19:33 |
I have prepared it for you. |
| 00:19:39 |
OK, don't worry. |
| 00:20:26 |
Waking up, finally? |
| 00:20:29 |
Easy. |
| 00:20:32 |
Don't worry. |
| 00:20:35 |
It won't take long. |
| 00:21:05 |
What's keeping them? |
| 00:21:10 |
The pain is getting worse... |
| 00:21:13 |
and the heat... |
| 00:21:18 |
I just want my medicine. |
| 00:21:24 |
I just want... |
| 00:21:27 |
to sleep. |
| 00:21:32 |
I know things will never be |
| 00:21:38 |
That's all over and done with, |
| 00:21:41 |
forever and ever. |
| 00:21:47 |
But I would want so much, |
| 00:21:51 |
Or at least she pretends to love me. |
| 00:22:26 |
I'm afraid to die from torture, |
| 00:22:31 |
cancer, a traffic accident. |
| 00:22:36 |
Ah, to find the right way? |
| 00:22:39 |
When making love? |
| 00:22:41 |
I'll have to find someone then, |
| 00:22:45 |
If it's OK, I want to start over, |
| 00:22:47 |
if it's insignificant, |
| 00:22:50 |
Dead, the scandal... |
| 00:22:54 |
I don't want to die joyfully. |
| 00:22:56 |
That after everything, after so little, |
| 00:22:59 |
nothing, just nothing remains, |
| 00:23:03 |
I refuse. |
| 00:23:10 |
I'm afraid I don't have a |
| 00:23:13 |
Maybe I'm hiding the truth to myself, |
| 00:23:18 |
I notice lately that I'm always |
| 00:23:23 |
but most of all I'm sensitive |
| 00:23:29 |
Most things shouldn't change too much, |
| 00:23:32 |
we should be able to reap the benefits |
| 00:23:37 |
I'll become Left from centre. |
| 00:25:07 |
I'm afraid of mediocrity. |
| 00:25:10 |
I'd rather be a zero, |
| 00:25:13 |
To be unnoticed, |
| 00:25:16 |
But I don't want to be pure. |
| 00:25:20 |
A messiah without scruples |
| 00:25:24 |
To the vice. To the bone. |
| 00:25:29 |
We shall not be able to see |
| 00:27:19 |
Help! |
| 00:27:24 |
Today we welcome a new student. |
| 00:27:26 |
Introduce yourself to your class mates. |
| 00:27:29 |
Ayakawa Sumako. I'll try |
| 00:27:32 |
Where do you live, Sumako-san? |
| 00:27:35 |
Behind the cemetery? |
| 00:27:38 |
Yes I live there with my mother. |
| 00:27:40 |
We used to live abroad, |
| 00:27:42 |
"Hajime Hajime, where are you, |
| 00:27:47 |
Children! |
| 00:27:49 |
You'll have samurai Hajime |
| 00:27:51 |
Be silent! |
| 00:27:53 |
Who is this samurai Hajime? |
| 00:27:55 |
It's an old story, Sumako-san. |
| 00:27:57 |
The samurai has been dead for 100 years. |
| 00:28:01 |
You will see him tonight. |
| 00:28:04 |
That's enough! |
| 00:28:11 |
Michio, as you're so smart: |
| 00:28:15 |
You don't know. Stupid! |
| 00:28:17 |
Nobody knows? |
| 00:28:19 |
That will be the lesson for today. |
| 00:28:23 |
Sumako, are you reading the text next to the image? |
| 00:28:28 |
"Samurai Hajime of the Satsuma-clan |
| 00:28:30 |
was condemned to commit seppuku, a ritual |
| 00:28:35 |
and chopped to pieces an English officer |
| 00:28:37 |
in the year 1865, the Edo era." |
| 00:28:55 |
We are waiting for you, new one. |
| 00:28:57 |
We are descendants of |
| 00:29:00 |
Hajime, you remember? |
| 00:29:06 |
You are really ridiculous! |
| 00:29:07 |
Yes? Really? |
| 00:29:10 |
Do you dare to ridicule us? |
| 00:29:23 |
That's the way we treat people who aren't from around here! |
| 00:29:26 |
Go on, sweeties, go tickle her! |
| 00:29:31 |
No! |
| 00:29:42 |
It doesn't work like that, Sumako-chan! |
| 00:29:44 |
You can't wake up in the middle of it, |
| 00:29:47 |
you have to finish your dream until the end. |
| 00:29:52 |
You have to sleep, Sumako-chan... |
| 00:29:55 |
Sleep... |
| 00:29:58 |
sleep... |
| 00:32:27 |
Is anyone here? |
| 00:32:34 |
Is anyone here? |
| 00:32:42 |
Those fools are trying to scare me... |
| 00:32:45 |
You are silly! |
| 00:32:51 |
Don't hide yourselves, |
| 00:33:10 |
Samurai Hajime's grave! |
| 00:33:21 |
Leaving already? |
| 00:33:24 |
The samurai will come. |
| 00:33:55 |
You don't seem to appreciate |
| 00:33:59 |
Stay for a while, |
| 00:34:02 |
And the samurai will gladly... |
| 00:34:07 |
There, there, don't get excited, Sumako, |
| 00:34:10 |
you look tensed. |
| 00:34:14 |
Tomoko? Michio?! |
| 00:34:19 |
You're going to die! |
| 00:34:23 |
No! Stop it!! |
| 00:34:56 |
Sumako, |
| 00:35:01 |
Sumako... |
| 00:36:27 |
Michio! |
| 00:36:42 |
Sumako's brains |
| 00:37:36 |
Is that you, Sumako-chan? |
| 00:37:49 |
Sumako? |
| 00:37:52 |
Sumako?! |
| 00:38:01 |
Has your first day at school gone well? |
| 00:38:15 |
Now, Sumako-chan, |
| 00:38:26 |
That's not the way to do it, Sumako. |
| 00:38:28 |
You have to finish your dream, |
| 00:38:34 |
cured... |
| 00:38:36 |
cured... |
| 00:38:39 |
cured... |
| 00:38:56 |
I'm afraid to contribute to the |
| 00:38:59 |
and not have the courage to do |
| 00:39:02 |
I don't know what to do. |
| 00:39:04 |
I'm afraid because I'm not doing anything. |
| 00:39:07 |
I absolutely have to do something! |
| 00:39:14 |
I'm full of small fears |
| 00:39:17 |
accompanying and surrounding me |
| 00:39:21 |
They make me cringe! |
| 00:39:25 |
Inside, outside, up? Down? |
| 00:39:32 |
I'm afraid of humans. |
| 00:39:33 |
Humans seem to be like wolves to humans, |
| 00:39:38 |
A wolf doesn't devour another wolf. |
| 00:39:40 |
But a human being... is a dangerous animal. |
| 00:39:43 |
He exterminates animals. Picks the flowers. |
| 00:39:48 |
They all agree to murder, intellectuals |
| 00:39:51 |
out of free will or forced, |
| 00:39:54 |
through the head and forward, mate. |
| 00:39:57 |
And women nowadays |
| 00:39:58 |
join in as well, on all levels, |
| 00:40:02 |
Here, a bullet in the head, bastard. |
| 00:40:04 |
I have the right, it seems, |
| 00:40:37 |
By accident I wound up |
| 00:40:39 |
in the region where I spend |
| 00:40:45 |
The great plains. |
| 00:40:56 |
One of these summers had been |
| 00:41:00 |
Everything started with the |
| 00:41:05 |
He was poaching at night, |
| 00:41:07 |
but his boat ran ashore. |
| 00:41:10 |
It was empty. |
| 00:41:29 |
Every night my aunt went to church |
| 00:41:35 |
I went along with her. |
| 00:41:43 |
While she cried, I went outside |
| 00:42:06 |
Often, always around the same time, |
| 00:42:09 |
the ducks left the swamps. |
| 00:42:15 |
Their behaviour rose suspicions |
| 00:42:22 |
My friend who really didn't have any family |
| 00:42:25 |
and who passed his time in the fields, |
| 00:42:28 |
knew a lot of secrets about the animals. |
| 00:42:33 |
One evening the last duck in the row |
| 00:42:38 |
According to my friend a wild animal which was |
| 00:42:43 |
And maybe one day we would face this |
| 00:42:50 |
That night I slept with my eyes firmly shut |
| 00:42:55 |
to keep away horrible dreams. |
| 00:43:29 |
In the morning the police officers fished up |
| 00:43:39 |
A gruesome crime! |
| 00:43:43 |
Who could have done a thing like this? |
| 00:43:46 |
My friend knew: |
| 00:43:48 |
there are wild animals that descend |
| 00:43:53 |
and one of them was probably hiding |
| 00:44:30 |
That night |
| 00:44:33 |
not a word was uttered at my aunt's. |
| 00:45:12 |
And then on some afternoon my friend |
| 00:45:18 |
The whole village went looking for him. |
| 00:45:26 |
The fog was increasing ever more. |
| 00:45:32 |
And I got lost... |
| 00:45:35 |
like in a dream. |
| 00:46:25 |
His bicycle was found again. |
| 00:46:27 |
But that discovery didn't put |
| 00:46:34 |
And the night fell. |
| 00:46:36 |
What I thought I had seen, |
| 00:46:41 |
Or was it that monster? |
| 00:46:44 |
Unless those two... |
| 00:46:54 |
Eventually the game-keeper in charge |
| 00:47:01 |
To that man, who had crossed the mysterious |
| 00:47:05 |
it didn't matter if it was a wild animal |
| 00:47:18 |
Three days and three nights |
| 00:47:33 |
When he came down, |
| 00:47:35 |
a wild scent was surrounding him. |
| 00:47:40 |
He asked him to bring the |
| 00:47:44 |
and he started to set his trap. |
| 00:47:51 |
Women and children were kept away |
| 00:47:55 |
Nobody was allowed to make any noise. |
| 00:50:00 |
Since then no one in the region |
| 00:50:04 |
even though my uncle has never returned |
| 00:50:08 |
and my friend has never been found again. |
| 00:50:16 |
Now old women are lighting ceremonial |
| 00:50:21 |
even though they pretend the candles are |
| 00:50:32 |
A while later I woke up in the |
| 00:51:40 |
It was my friend, no doubt about it. |
| 00:51:46 |
I was sure I wasn't mistaken. |
| 00:52:01 |
We never saw each other again. |
| 00:52:08 |
The day I visited the place |
| 00:52:14 |
I remembered that old story. |
| 00:52:23 |
I didn't dare to wait for |
| 00:52:31 |
It was like I was afraid to see |
| 00:52:36 |
Who knows which other secrets |
| 00:52:43 |
Maybe he descended from |
| 00:54:45 |
I'm afraid I would contempt all |
| 00:54:49 |
And because I don't accept myself |
| 00:54:54 |
Because those who resemble me, |
| 00:54:57 |
and that gives me a negative image. |
| 00:55:03 |
I'm afraid I would be an |
| 00:55:06 |
I can't accept that, |
| 00:55:09 |
The rich irritate me, the poor repel me, |
| 00:55:12 |
Help! Hurry, a monastery, |
| 00:55:18 |
But real peace, not fake. |
| 00:55:20 |
No rotan furniture, |
| 00:55:22 |
declamating in Tibetan. |
| 00:55:29 |
I'm afraid of indigestion. |
| 00:55:31 |
We all eat shamelessly like pigs. |
| 00:55:34 |
Like pigs. |
| 00:55:36 |
Children! |
| 00:55:40 |
I'm afraid I would blush for |
| 00:55:43 |
Sometimes it does my heart good |
| 00:55:45 |
OK, it has been prepared industrially, |
| 00:55:48 |
And all those who don't have the means? |
| 00:55:52 |
Come on, Simone, |
| 00:55:57 |
But can't you see it's a fraud? |
| 00:56:03 |
I'm afraid I won't be really useful |
| 00:56:06 |
For example to make clear to a racist, |
| 00:56:09 |
to a single racist that it's cowardly, |
| 00:56:14 |
But I have tried carefully once or twice. |
| 00:56:17 |
It's hard to control myself and to |
| 00:56:19 |
of a democrat who respects the differences, |
| 00:56:21 |
but is uncompromising about the basic values. |
| 00:56:24 |
Then the other will look at me in shame, |
| 00:56:28 |
but I feel like it's slipping away from me. |
| 00:56:30 |
I can only convince people who |
| 00:56:36 |
Help! Cicero, Louise Michel, Montesquieu, |
| 01:14:35 |
I'm afraid I would come across |
| 01:14:37 |
It's horrible to be sympathetic. |
| 01:14:42 |
How was your life? |
| 01:14:44 |
Sympathetic. |
