Clouds of Sils Maria Page #7

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.

- 38.

- 38?

- Over at the time of the film.

- He was still young, in action.

25 years later, it analyzes and puts things in perspective.

He may think of posterity.

Better to stay true to his youth.

- Forget additions?

- Yes I Am.

Wilhelm did not take back.

Instead, his last writings

are bolder and more...

enigmatic.

Take things differently.

Think like him.

Fast forward into the future,

instead of the past, that...

- Any news?

- His condition is critical.

She lost a lot of blood.

Chris said she was calm, it was the idea.

Where is Christopher?

Dorothea family is there.

They chased the hosto. He joins us.

Here? This is silly. The paparazzi will follow.

He says there is none.

It is naive. They spin.

They are discreet. Tell him especially not come.

No messaging. I send a text message.

If they follow, one is cooked.

- You have your driver?

- Yes, outside.

Christopher sent to my club.

There will be peace.

Chris. Hi.

It's okay? Did you get my messages?

Klaus said that the paparazzi following you.

I have not seen them.

If we photograph,

it's a catastrophe.

I call my driver.

You just take us?

Here.

The club my address. First we go. Join us by taxi in five minutes.

Sh*t, they follow us.

Ari?

No, no news from the hospital.

I really need you.

Take the first plane. I'm stuck here

London. One begins to repeat tomorrow.

If it is not doing,

it will be a nuclear disaster.

- You want to change hotels?

- I Do Not.

Wherever I go, they will find me.

As well stay here.

For me it goes.

But it will be hard for Chris.

- The media will crucify him.

- I Do Not.

It is I who will take.

I usually let it be written horrors.

It cancels repeat tomorrow?

- Maria, it bothers you?

- Not at all.

No question.

I prefer to work.

- There is not much talked about.

- I Do Not.

I will make you drop the new scenes.

We talk seriously.

Yes I Am. Tomorrow, after the rehearsal.

After work, I am gutted.

Same here.

The next weekend, I joined my children in Italy.

We'll manage. Good night.

When they speak of their respect for you,

is to mean me joy to give you

which they refused me.

They use you...

I have everything printed.

Tell me if you need an English lawyer.

I know a real estate specialist.

The compromise of sale.

Your ex redeems your hand at the agreed price.

I wanted to discuss.

I may be wrong.

And for the studio Street Chemin Vert.

It's expensive, but well worth it.

- There's more to sign.

- Tomorrow.

You take the Eurostar to 8 h 15.

You will be returned to London for dinner.

- I can accompany you.

- No, I'll go.

I say what Piers Roaldson?

Remind me who it is.

It will make a film:

Electric Shockwave.

He did what?

Nothing. He is 25 years old.

According to Jay, it is and it will happen.

What is the role?

They have not yet sent.

This is the first part.

Your character is a sort of hybrid.

A creation of genetics, with a soul.

It happens at the 23rd century.

On earth?

Maybe, I'm not sure.

Hello.

There, thank you.

Thank you.

Tell him that I care and that I read the script. OK?

The scenes Klaus sent thee.

- I forgot.

- You want to repeat them?

No, I have not read them.

- He awaits your opinion.

- Let him call me.

He may be waiting for your reaction.

You have them for two weeks.

I understand.

I prefer to discover at the last moment

for it remains spontaneous.

I did that for Sigrid. I will do the same for Helena.

Tell him that I find them very well.

Very good, but a little long.

- Jo-Ann, you hear me?

- Yes I Am.

The same, a little faster.

Forget a folder, there is enough.

- Is taken.

- OK.

Excuse me.

- The General's tomorrow.

- I know.

- Thanks for having me.

- With pleasure.

I'll light it.

Coffee, please.

You guess my 1st question.

The media circus around Jo-Ann

Will he steal the show?

Only show account. Not the rest.

Fortunately, Dorothea got away.

You offer a new reading.

But the audience he will be receptive?

That is my question.

I hope so.

Are the shows tight, cut off from the outside world?

I Do Not.

Each viewer brings his subjectivity.

It is not determined by the tabloids.

Some will come to the scandal.

Will they see the room or something?

- Jo-Ann.

- What does he?

I wanted to ask you...

The scene at the beginning of Act III,

when you tell me you want to leave.

I beg you to his knees.

You order pizza for your colleagues.

You go without looking at me,

as if I did not exist.

If you were marking time,

to prolong the distress of Helena, alone in his office.

There, as you cheeks,

the public out with you and soon forgotten.

So what?

When I played Sigrid,

I did it last, I found it

harder.

It worked very well.

Everyone cares Helena.

Sorry, but for me it is a laminated woman.

I speak of the character, not you.

Sigrid when out of the office,

Helena is a wreck. We get it.

We move on.

The public expects later.

If you prolongeais a few seconds.

I not feel too, Maria.

You're right.

I am lost in my memories.

Old habits always come back.

It should be destroyed.

No doubt.

- Hello, come in.

- Good Evening.

Thank you for having me tonight. That's nice.

Tomorrow we leave at dawn for spotting Ukraine.

- The exterior is turn it.

- I read your script.

I wrote it with you in mind.

In mutant?

I approach genetics from a human point of view.

In reading, I imagined someone younger.

Maybe my youngest.

You saw me in old movies.

I have changed.

It has no age.

Or all ages at a time, like all of us.

Can I be frank?

Maybe because I work with it,

but reading, I kept thinking about Jo-Ann.

Personally, I never think about Jo-Ann Ellis.

She is smart.

She has talent.

It is modern, such as heroin.

It is not modern.

Not like this.

It is beyond time.

Out of time...

I do not understand. It's too abstract.

Sorry.

I do not like this time.

- This is yours.

- I did not choose.

If my time was Jo-Ann and net scandals,

I have the right not to feel concerned.

It is not against it. I thought you would understand.

Rideau in five minutes.
