Clouds of Sils Maria Page #2

and hiking in summer.

These are my fondest memories of him.

Son? Recent piece is a destructive vision.

I played in these parts.

That is true. They can be frightening.

Gray hair ocean.

Completely.

I will say a few words.

I hope to live up to.

Then I will present Henryk.

Once he finished, he invites you to join him.

And you present the film. That's it.

Wilhelm I saw it two weeks ago.

We went hunting.

He was like himself.

There, and not there at the time.

He did not come to the award ceremony.

I told him that you would miss.

I went to Long Island.

We spent a week together.

- I know.

- I do not care that you know.

Henryk, it'll be us.

- This is us.

- Excuse me.

We had an adventure in turning Snake Maloja.

- No kidding.

- I was a young scatterbrained.

He really enjoyed myself.

After the shoot, he disappeared.

- It destroyed me.

- You've seen afterwards.

We did another film together.

- Which one?

- Better forget it.

A German adaptation of Tolstoy.

Nothing terrible.

Ten years later, I was famous.

Suddenly, he was interested.

He harassed, called me at night. I did not give in.

And that he did not like.

He made me pay. Each day of shooting.

He was masterful in this film...

What title already?

It plays a Soviet defector.

With missiles codes and everything.

I do not see. Ever heard.

It's perfect.

So intense.

In the physical scenes, he that look... It is...

- I like him.

- I understood.

I like him as an actor.

Unfortunately, it must already start tomorrow morning...

Henryk Wald!

I was on that stage there 4 years,

to the room The Reichstag burns,

Wilhelm Melchior.

I did not know it would be his very last room.

He was sitting in third place,

in watching me.

I've never played so badly.

Maria, you in five minutes.

Wilhelm Melchior will always be among us

through its parts.

I am privileged to play

here in London, everywhere.

I do not tell him "goodbye"

but "soon, Wilhelm".

Thank you, Henryk,

for this beautiful tribute.

Please welcome now

an old friend of Wilhelm.

Applause for...

Maria Enders!

Thank you.

Thank you.

- Good Evening.

- Welcome.

I am honored to receive you.

I would have preferred otherwise.

It's good to celebrate his piece.

I held that Zurich makes him homage.

He was very grateful to you.

It happens.

She will be happy to escape that.

- His last play was in Zurich.

- I know.

Grim picture of our political class.

- To say.

- You know,

your character was terrible.

Klaus Diesterweg is there.

Excuse me.

I already told him no.

He wants to see you.

It does not interest me.

It's perfect. Listening to it, it is not binding.

This is the best.

We saw the same productions.

If you prefer to talk with the mayor and Henryk, go ahead.

No, thank you.

Alright with you if I eclipse?

- I go out with Berndt.

- Berndt?

The photographer.

We will go elsewhere, it's dead here.

No problem. I will not stay.

Have fun.

Thank you for your time.

- It's a pleasure.

- I do not insist too much?

I saw your productions. I liked it and...

I know we will have the opportunity to work together.

Give me another chance.

Klaus...

I played Sigrid Snake Maloja

when I was 18 years old.

It was more than a role for me.

Somehow I stayed Sigrid.

Exactly. Sigrid Helena seduced...

She is not a lesbian. I've always been straight.

- I did not say that.

- Sigrid is free.

Beyond all. It is disruptive and unpredictable.

I have always identified with that freedom.

One way to...

protect me.

Do you smoke?

I Do Not. I try to avoid.

And Helena embodies the opposite?

Helena is 40 years old, entrepreneur.

It is totally in love with a girl who does not like it.

And which leads to suicide.

Yes, it's just the opposite.

What attracts Helena with Sigrid, despite their difference?

This is obvious.

Youth.

If you say I'm old Helena, you are right.

I can not play either.

I see it very differently.

Despite its small bourgeois life, responsibilities,

it is not incarnate order.

Much less the opposite of Sigrid.

She is married, has children.

His social life is a success.

She sacrifices everything. It is destructive.

Sigrid find this hidden violence in Helena.

Hidden or bullied?

Time passes and it does not accept it.

Me neither, I guess.

There is no antagonism.

This is the attraction of two injured women.

Sigrid and Helena are the same person.

One and the same person.

This is the subject of the piece.

Since you were Sigrid,

Only you can play Helena.

How are you so sure?

You and I know that Wilhelm wanted to write a sequel.

Yes I Am.

But Sigrid 40 years.

Not on Sigrid becomes Helena 20 years later.

Who will play Sigrid?

Jo-Ann Ellis.

She played in a superhero film.

- And apart from that?

- Not much.

She is 19 years old. It is more interesting

his interviews.

She played for the theater.

She will not be swallowed by Hollywood.

She admires you and is ready

to abandon its commitments.

I listened carefully.

But to be honest...

The role scares me. Helena scares me.

I am in the middle of a divorce,

I feel alone and vulnerable.

Too vulnerable for that.

I understand your refusal, but...

It would be a missed opportunity.

Especially for Wilhelm.

I have to go.

Excuse me, I do not stay dinner.

Good night, Maria.

Klaus.

I have another reason.

Susan Rosenberg.

She played Helena with me.

I remember Susan Rosenberg.

She killed herself by car a year later.

Superstition I have always linked her death to suicide Helena.

Poor actress

who did not understand the role.

But its conventional game highlighted

modernity of your performance.

You owe him a lot.

I beg you.

Thank you.

Is it possible to change this?

I'm sorry, it happens.

You were with Klaus Diesterweg.

You're going to accept his offer?

- What gives?

- You know that.

It is a good director.

I would accept a role without hesitation.

You mean I should accept?

Good God, no!

Much is said about this more...

He never completed.

Sorry to be rude, but I'm a simple man

and the part is very simple.

A mature woman falls in love with a girl who manipulates her as she wants.

The girl takes advantage of her,

made him let go of all that it can

and dropped.

Love Helena makes stupid

and blind to what is obvious to the public.

But that's all she ever wanted.

She is fascinated by his own downfall.

It's clear as day.

Here it is, the success of the play,

still played today.

Why tell a different story?

I find your simplistic reading.

I know Sigrid...

It is more interesting than that.

Yes, it enjoys Helena.

Yes, it fascinates and she knows it.

You can stop there, but not me, because I incarnate.

You only see what there is on the surface.

The play is about their mutual attraction.

It is more subtle and profound.

More true.

Their relationship is not as cruel for Sigrid.

Cruel to Sigrid?

- She will recover.

- How do you know?

Time youth.

It's life before her.

Helena is not old.

It also has life ahead of her, but she gives it up.
