Duras film: Césarée

Extract from Césarée, a film by Marguerite Duras from 1978

In the heavens, suddenly an outburst of ashes. On cities named Pompeii, Herculaneum. Dead. Destroys everything. Dies of it. The place is named Césarée, Cesarea. There’s nothing to see any more but everything.

It’s a bad summer in Paris. Cold. Foggy.

Césarée is a short film. The entire piece can be seen here.
