Duras film: Le camion

Extract from Le camion, a film by Marguerite Duras from 1977

It was there that she started talking again. Talking about what she sees, outside. She says: “So many things to see. Really. We are overwhelmed. Don’t you think?” He does not answer. She closes her eyes. She still speaks. She says: “Don’t believe that I’m sleeping. It’s the opposite.”

Filming would have to be fast. You see? To not stretch over time at all, drag. It would have to not cost much. Its very nature would recall this poverty of means. I imagine it in black and white.
