Clouds of Sils Maria Page #6

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.

She'll see the tabloids.

You will not find us here.

If anywhere, it's their job.

What did you say to Maria Enders?

I took advantage of my tour to view.

She did not find it suspicious?

His assistant did not seem to meet.

- Pleased.

- Likewise.

What?

I would not have recognized you.

Really? If you have seen me on the net or in the movies.

But it is disturbing.

You look like your roles.

Not at all, I hope.

No, only the best.

You do not look like Nemesis.

- Chris, he is a novelist.

- Pleased. My assistant.

Nice to meet you. Really.

I get you something?

- A cognac.

- OK.

- The same.

- Okay.

Nothing, thank you.

What did you like infusions?

Verbena, mint and chamomile.

- I do not mind a chamomile.

- OK.

You can not imagine what an honor it is for me.

When I was 15, I saw...

This film about the CIA, with Harrison Ford.

- I have a hole.

- A beetle on its back .

Yes, with Harrison Ford.

You taped me.

You were embodied class, all I wanted to be.

Your way to confront politicians and military, it was captivating.

My first movie in Hollywood. I was lost.

Sydney Pollack was great, but I do not always understand it.

I did not dare ask.

Fortunately, Harrison helped me.

So Much.

After I begged my parents

to take me to see The Seagull.

They did not know you,

they hate the movies.

Provided they tolerate the theater.

More than the tolerance, they are in love.

They see everything.

On leaving, they said you were the best Nina.

It meant a lot to me.

Before that, I did not dare tell them that

I wanted to be an actress. Thanks to you,

I could follow my vocation.

I prefer your 1st French films.

There was a ring of ICA in London.

I almost seen everything. You came.

You must have forgotten.

I remember it perfectly.

You spoke very freely of your business.

You were asked

if you had any regrets. You said:

"We have no right to regret.

"If one is sincere, it is the sum of his experiences."

I said that?

Maybe not word for word.

You do not think?

I Do Not.

I agree completely, 100%.

I'm intimidated to take your role.

Nobody will play like you.

Do not be too severe.

All interpretations are good.

I can not wait to repeat tomorrow.

- This is at Wilhelm, okay?

- Of course.

As his ghost does not spying on us.

Do not worry, it is benevolent.

Benign? I do not know.

Me either.

It is brave to play Helena.

It is a way to face time.

I do not know. Sometimes...

I think that this is just a job.

And I will be happy for it to end.

Thank you.

- You always want to see the snake?

- Yes I Am.

The weather tomorrow seems ideal.

Be up there at sunrise.

It's beautiful when it passes the Maloja Pass.

Great, fabulous. Thank you.

They are really nice.

I really...

It is more interesting than what you said.

His parents are musicians.

He, too, is good. It is...

I said something funny?

They spent the evening flatter you.

Normal that they like you.

- No report.

- No, of course.

It was what movie? A beetle on the back.

It has a scoop tonight.

What a scoop?

She is with Christopher Giles.

Chris? His name is Christopher Giles?

- Yes I Am.

- It's known?

It is super known.

I do not know what price he had...

He is married to the artist Dorothea Von Duisburg.

She has exhibited at the Serpentine.

Never heard of them.

Look on Google.

How do you write the name?

Giles. G-I-L-E-S.

He is with her.

When it will be known, will be... a tsunami.

On their planet.

Their planet has a name.

It is called the real world. Welcome.

Be careful with that. Pass it to me.

I thought the whole night in the death of Helena.

His death?

It does not necessarily die.

It disappears.

That's your interpretation.

It's pretty ambiguous.

It starts to walk and did not return.

For me it is clear.

You do not know.

It can reinvent elsewhere.

We can not know.

Imagine what you want.

We are on the right path?

I am willing to get up early, but get lost and miss the snake.

There is one. Happy?

Why do you think that?

I have a map.

I show you? Come on.

We spent this curve, there 10 minutes.

There, you overlook the valley.

- See?

- How do you know?

Damn, what you're boring.

Why tell the contrast part of what she said?

At 20,

you could see the ambition of Sigrid, its violence, because you the feeling.

- So what?

- That's what I say.

A text is like an object.

It varies depending on the viewpoint.

I do not know.

Come on, we'll miss the snake.

There will be none.

Go to hell.

Look!

This is the snake?

I Do Not.

It's mist.

Fog.

But it undone.

It's still beautiful.

It takes shape and flows into the valley.

This is perhaps the snake.

We have to be patient.

No, this is not the snake.

Si.

I think it is the snake.

Not you?

Val?

What are you doing?

Val?

Answer me!

LONDON, A FEW WEEKS LATER

How is the hotel?

Very well. Thank you for the flowers.

Have you talked to Klaus?

He can not wait to see you.

Call him. He thinks you're avoiding the.

We dined together. He has 30 minutes late.

You call me to kill time.

Just kidding.

I do not avoid it.

I want to talk to him face-to-face. I got done.

Klaus knows the risks you take.

He is sincere. He does it for you and Wilhelm.

And for advertising.

20 years after Sigrid, I'm Helena. The press only talks about that.

Like all artists, he has a sense of com '.

- It is a crime ?

- "Know how

"And do know is twice knowledge."

Baltasar Gracian said that.

I do not know who it is,

but he is right.

Press about you and your work.

OK for pictures, no interview. It's too early. Do not move.

Yes I Do?

Tell him that I go down.

Thank you.

Is Klaus.

It's going to go.

- Hi.

- Sorry for the delay.

A tragedy occurred.

Dorothea made a TS. She's in a coma.

- Dorothea?

- The wife of Christopher Giles.

...Chris's friend Jo-Ann?

Yes, but you're not supposed to know.

They were together in Sils.

I thought it later.

Sir, we can go.

She opened the veins in the workshop.

She was found in a pool of blood.

What horror.

It is a famous artist.

It's a great girl.

Beautiful, talented, she has it all.

I love his work.

I do not understand.

Jo-Ann is destroyed.

She was at an exhibition.

She can not return to the hotel. The paparazzi surround it.

I invited. It does not bother you?

Not at all.

It's a rumor, but the press smelled something.

Somebody blogged

Jo-Ann had come to London to play that.

And it's true?

It does not need an excuse,

but the press will not give up.

They want a picture with Chris.

She'll be there in five minutes.

You wanted to talk to me?

Sorry, I head elsewhere.

I spoke with Rosa yesterday.

I told him you were in London,

we began to rehearse.

- It made him happy.

- Okay.

Try not to disappoint.

A Castle Laroze. Thank you.

Rosa told me fragments after Maloja Snake.

Proof of confidence.

Some pages are missing context, but...

others give insights into the room.

How old was Wilhelm when he wrote it?

35 years?
