Clouds of Sils Maria Page #3

Synopsis: At the peak of her international career, Maria Enders is asked to perform in a revival of the play that made her famous twenty years ago. But back then she played the role of Sigrid, an alluring young girl who disarms and eventually drives her boss Helena to suicide. Now she is being asked to step into the other role, that of the older Helena. She departs with her assistant to rehearse in Sils Maria; a remote region of the Alps. A young Hollywood starlet with a penchant for scandal is to take on the role of Sigrid, and Maria finds herself on the other side of the mirror, face to face with an ambiguously charming woman who is, in essence, an unsettling reflection of herself.

Helena did not used to be rejected.

She does not accept his own weakness.

First Post M. Wald, please.

Grand Hotel du Lac, please.

Klaus made you believe, then?

You're going to play Helena.

I did not say that.

But I think the question.

Yes I Am.

You sure do not want a drink?

I'm already drunk, darling.

Henryk!

Wait.

I found the road, sorry. I have not adjusted the GPS.

It was worth an hour or so.

I had a dream.

We were in rehearsal and...

The past and present are mixed.

- I am disturbed.

- No kidding.

I would not have said yes to Klaus.

But the death of Wilhelm, mourning... I could not refuse.

It is a director crazy scene.

Jo-Ann is a star, it pays well.

I do not need money.

Rest as much as you want.

I like the idea that you work your role

in the place where it was written.

You promised. No ghosts.

There are none.

- I was joking.

- I Do Not.

You half-joking.

That's what I wanted to show you.

Wilhelm committed suicide here.

But that remains between you and me.

This is the Maloja Pass, down there?

- The serpent?

- The snake.

Why a snake? In the play,

is ambiguous.

The Maloja snake.

This is a cloud formation.

Quite rare,

in unexplained.

It announces the weather.

The clouds come from the Italian lakes,

they pass the col

and are pushed by the wind in the valley

like a snake.

That's why it's called the snake.

The phenomenon Cloudy Maloja.

His signs.

Clouds pass the Maloja Pass.

The so-called "Snake Maloja".

Wilhelm was fascinated by this film.

He marveled that the true nature of the landscape

was revealed in these images.

It shows time passing.

This film has almost a century.

In fact, it comes from far away.

It makes all its beauty.

- It was great. Thank you.

- Thank You.

I do not promise to come see you in London.

I hope you change your mind.

The theater is only theater.

Oh, Maria.

He belonged to Wilhelm.

Keep it.

At 18, you were no longer a child.

There had to be some form of attraction.

Wilhelm is not a saint, right?

May be.

If he chose me, he felt something.

But it was in the unspoken.

- You admit...

- And that's not important.

It's not very important.

If this is not important, what is?

All that matters is the film.

So there was the attraction.

Stop.

Why? It was mutual?

Yes I Am.

I Will Not! I know.

You do not understand.

I was attracted to Wilhelm, but...

This is normal. It suited me to have only the attraction.

And privacy.

There has also had intimacy?

Stop weigh every word.

More would have affected our relationship.

I was...

My intuition told me

it was worth more than desire.

I understood. You loved him.

Of course not.

Does not simplify, it's too easy. It was less than that.

And it was better.

I might remember

that what suits me.

Yes, I believe.

- You change often version.

- B*tch.

You want to usher in a mall?

I Do Not.

To advertise for glasses?

- I Do Not.

- Only in Latin America.

- I Do Not.

- OK...

A Spanish horror movie. You'd be Mother Superior.

There is even werewolves.

An interview with an Italian magazine

for active women: "Seduce after 40 years."

- I Do Not.

- This is the cover.

I Do Not.

- Mario Testino to the photo.

- I do not care.

Jo-Ann Ellis film released in Europe.

She wants to meet you.

- When?

- Next week.

Where?

Where you want. It can come here, if you want.

Certainly not here.

She will go to the Waldhaus.

- The movie comes out when?

- The past week.

Did you read the newspaper lately?

Sorry, you want one?

He goes to St Moritz, if you want.

I prefer to wait repetitions.

And keep the image of me at 18.

I know, I know, it's confusing.

But it's more interesting.

I've not known in 18 years, but I'm sure Jo-Ann's worse.

How can you be sure?

You have Googlee?

I just looked at the pictures.

You should dig a little deeper.

You quickly fall upon his photos naked.

And his latest exploits.

Such As?

His break.

Andrew Beltram?

You know who this is?

No idea.

You live in what world? This is...

- The big star.

- According to whom?

Preadolescent.

They are numerous, beware.

He broke because it is smashing,

deceived the public.

She went to her army.

He farted a cable and put it out.

He put out violently.

Not really the description of Klaus.

The neighbors had to master, as she pulled in all directions.

She had to make a rehab.

- It's better.

- According to its press releases.

At Last.

And classical training,

the theatrical experience,

- Is bullshit?

- No, it's true.

It worked and she started messing around.

It was to be jealous

all the Hollywood crap.

TMZ has chosen the most promising actress

ready to ruin his career.

You should have told me earlier.

You despise gossip net.

It's not gossip, it's the info.

The info celebrities. It's funny.

- I thought you loved her.

- Yes I Am.

I love it. It is not...

insipid as any Hollywood.

You describe it as a self-destructive crazy.

- I did not say that.

- Excuse me, I must have misunderstood.

Where are the cigarettes?

Just before you.

Where?

She has the guts to be herself.

At his age, it's pretty cool.

I do not see what there is cool

getting high and trying to kill her ex.

I think she has a future.

This is my favorite actress.

You mean more than me?

No, I...

I did not say that.

I'm more... What?

Conventional?

Boring?

And I do not have the same intensity. I Do Not.

- I did not say that.

- Of course not.

F***er!

Stop following me or I'll kill you!

I'll kill you, b*tch!

I have a difficult question.

You have been transferred to the Forbidden Planet.

I do not know.

You had the role of Anne Francis, Alta.

- May be.

- After your arrest

the studio canceled the contract.

Even if that were true,

it would have cost a leg and an arm.

Let's say it's true, but that is wrong.

But in the event, I could not

not even talk about it because

I have a confidentiality agreement.

Of course. Imagine that you have been arrested

and insulted the police officer.

That is a fact not hypothetical verified.

I have been arrested

and I attacked the policemen.

- The reaction of the studio is hypothetical.

- Absolutely.

And hypothetical reaction would cost them crazy

a seven-figure sum which,

in any event,

would be confidential.

Will you be in the Forbidden Planet?

Rather die.

In a very slow death,

food poisoning.

It is said that you will go on stage.

Yes...

In a piece called Maloja Snake.

Maria Enders.

She plays the older woman

and me, the girl who will push her to suicide.

Where will you play in London?

They gave me the name of the theater...

- This is in negotiation.

- Who staged ?

Klaus.

- Klaus how?

- Klaus...

- Klaus.

- Klaus Klaus?

- Klaus Klaus.

- Yes .

Do your job, you're a journalist, whore.

- You do not know.

- Santa Klaus?

- Klaus Kinski?

- Klaus Barbie?

That's the chair.

The office door.

The office.

All right, go ahead.

Come In.

Sigrid, I called you because your course ends
