1972 film by Marguerite Duras

Story of an unacknowledged love in Victorian England. A man spends his life, alongside a woman who is dear to him, waiting for the momentous event that should change his destiny.

Actor Matthieu Rozé makes a feature film debut as director with a playful and laid-back vacation drama based on Marguerite Duras’s “The Little Horses of Tarquinia.” As is their wont, two French couples and their single friend go on vacation in a claustrophobic, Mediterranean hole-in-the-wall. When they aren’t languidly bickering, they spend their time planning dinner, while the sun scorches and the ice chinks in the uncountable Campari drinks. Until the familiar vacation tedium is broken by the arrival of a mysterious, attractive stranger on a fast boat. Azuro is a pleasing portrayal of long-term relationships, with an agile dialogue and sublimely amusing characters, who are aggravating, complicated, and self-absorbed – and react and act accordingly. All while they ignore that a fire up in the mountains draws nearer. In the delightful star cast we see among others a wonderful Florence Loiret-Caille (The Bureau) as the unbridled friend Margaux.

Duras retrouve Aurélia Steiner, l'une des figures récurrentes de ses romans, et illustre, à nouveau, un courrier qu'elle a, cette fois, écrit à ses parents. À l'aide de plans non exploités du Navire Night, la cinéaste s'efface derrière un personnage mystérieux, qui dévoile progressivement son histoire et son passé.

Marin Karmitz's avant-garde short film is a haunting tale about an alcoholic novelist facing a crippling case of writer's block.

1967 film by Marguerite Duras

A beautiful, nameless woman is hired to spend several days and nights with a man in his apartment. Not only does he want to sleep with her, but he is obsessed with the desire to look at her naked body. A philosophical dialogue develops between the man who relates his thoughts and writes them down and the woman who explains to him the causes of his 'lethal sickness'. After the woman has left, the narrator and observer, dressed in black, appears. It is Peter Handke, the poet. Film essay about the man - woman relationship: 'Peter Handke's most personal, most permissive and at the same time, most reserved film.

"The subject of this film is the conversation between a man and a woman. A couple, maybe lovers, maybe married, it doesn't matter. (...) During this conversation, we do not see but the city of Rome. I wanted to transmit that what Rome provokes in me, the feeling of an intrinsic matter, indissoluble, in difference with Paris, made of small parks and open spaces, crossed by the sky and the wind. Hand in hand with the film, the difficulty of the two lovers assumes a clearer, more explicit form. But as much as, in my opinion, it is impossible to describe and film Rome, the difficulty in the love of a couple can never be totally understood." Marguerite Duras, Venice film festival catalogue, 1982.

根据玛格丽特·杜拉斯1950年出版的小说《抵挡太平洋的堤坝》改编。

本片改编自女作家玛格丽特·杜拉斯1968年创作的舞台剧，法国国宝级女演员夏洛特·甘斯布和新获凯撒奖最佳男主角提名的尼尔斯·施内德主演，讲述富豪太太苏珊娜和她的情人在海边别墅的一天。导演伯努瓦·雅克曾师从杜拉斯，善于捕捉女性心理的微妙变化，他以娴熟的舞台化场面调度搭配海边光影的变化，加上甘斯布的精彩演绎，将一位表面高冷但内心惶恐、在婚姻和情感上自欺欺人的富家太太诠释得丝丝入扣。影片入选2021年香港国际电影节展映单元。

夏日十点半基本上来说还是讲述男女之间的爱情心理，严格的说，探讨女人的心理。最近看的电影，好像都是在探讨人的心理，尼采所说的心理学大行其道的时代也许在佛洛依德之后从来没有衰落过，而且还将继续强盛。 一看开头让人以为是一部惊悚片，加上电影名字的诱惑（很有希区柯克风味），很能吸引人。开头是三个快速跳接的镜头，夜晚，雨，小巷，黑衣男人，枪，这都给人带来强烈的心理调节，也许对于艺术片来说，这是能快速让人进入的一种方法。男人推开门，一对裸体的男女在交媾，开枪，砰，砰，砰。情景很熟悉吧，好像都是这么干的。想想是不是有点肖申克救赎，安迪的枪没开，别人替他开了，我们假设安迪开枪了，那又如何，他就十恶不赦了吗？ 开头的悬念结束了，一部轿车徐徐开来，两女一男，一个孩子。之间的情爱关系恰恰与凶手一家形成了鲜明的对称。而随后的故事情节，这种对称是重要的。玛利亚和保罗是一对夫妻，克莱尔是插在他们之间的第三者，似乎玛利亚也很清楚，而且还是玛利亚故意把克莱尔叫来的。玛利亚由于自己处于这种背叛的特殊地位，所以他对杀人凶手罗德里格特别同情，一开始她就宿命般的说要拥抱这个凶手。到得旅馆之后，人已经满员了，玛利亚千方百计打探和寻找罗德里格，命运上同情感越来越强，迫切渴望能够救助他。 这种心理按佛洛依德的心理学推论是完全符合逻辑的，你的心理满足实现不了的时候，你渴望处于你相同地位的人能够完成你未完成的事业，而且看现在网络上yy小说那么受欢迎，就知道人类的这种心理是多么强大了。而且罗德里格的妻子还是那种人尽可夫的那种，这种情感上的背叛是没有法律制裁的，难道这就不是一种罪吗？这种罪谁来惩罚？从情感的逻辑上来说，罗德里格是正义的，全镇上的人也都同情他。 玛利亚在阳台上意外的看见保罗和克莱尔在狂吻，这也许更加加重了她的心理，恰巧这时她发现罗德里格的时候，毅然而然的决定去救助这个绝望的男人。她救了他，并且为了她完成这种壮举而洋洋得意。但罗德里格最后自杀了，伸冤在我，我必报应。玛利亚心理最后失落到空荡荡的。最后她逃走了，保罗和克莱尔大声呼喊着她，很像中间那些经常寻找罗德里格的时候一样，大声呼喊他的名字，而玛利亚也沉默无语，消失不见。

Un violent orage bloque Maria et sa famille sur la route des vacances. Ils se réfugient dans une petite ville, près de la frontière espagnole, où la police recherche un homme qui vient de tuer sa femme et son amant. En pleine nuit, Maria se retrouve par hasard face au meurtrier. Croyant échapper à ses propres démons, elle décide de s’enfuir avec lui …
