Jacquot de Nantes Page #7

from the Apollo's projection room

to the manager who said,

"It's good.

You ought to be making films."

I told him

my parents didn't agree...

Later, Christian-Jaque

came to Nantes

to present his film

D'homme hommes.

Where are you taking us?

To see D'homme hommes.

You'll like it.

What's it about?

The chap who founded the Red Cross

and Christian-Jaque will be there.

- We've seen several of his.

- He's made 40!

All right. Let's go.

I'm going on my bike.

At the intermission,

Christian-Jaque was kind enough

to look at my film.

He saw it and thought it wasn't bad.

"You ought to make films", he said.

And my father then said,

"Well, if you think the boy

can do any good,

"then he'll go to Paris."

I left for Paris

the following October.

First, I studied film-making

and I was out of work,

then a filmmaker.

I met a woman filmmaker,

we made a few films,

then she gave me a fine son

and now I paint.

Devils and wonders,

winds and tides,

far away

the sea has gone out.

And you, like a strand of seaweed

gently caressed by the wind,

you move as you dream

in the sands of the bed.

Devils and wonders,

winds and tides,

far away

the sea has gone out.

But in your half-open eyes

two tiny waves are still there.

Devils and wonders,

winds and tides,

two tiny tears,

two tiny waves

to drown myself in.
