I feel the wrench of hard realities
The focus is sharp in the city
-- The Camera Eye (1981)”

To see if I still feel.

“When I was quite young… I began to suspect there must be flaws in my sense of reality. It seemed to my dim sense of confusion that things often blended one into another, and the Law of Excluded Middle merely opened up a void wherein anything was possible. But I had been produced to focus on objects (things) and not on systems”

Your eyes give you away.

I don't want to smell you and lose my senses
And smile in slow motion
With eyes in love.”

“When I decided to make the film [Blue Is the Warmest Colour], I knew that it was going to be hard. I think I wanted that. I wanted to see how it was to go this far. […] Of course it was kind of humiliating sometimes, I was feeling like a prostitute. […] [Kechiche] was using three cameras, and when you have to fake your orgasm for six hours... I can't say that it was nothing. But for me it is more difficult to show my feelings than my body.”
