A rare fit with Duras' original; Duras said it should be dusty, not muddy Vietnam, but the dampness is just right. I especially love those close-ups of the flesh, the blurred and fragrant lust that travels around, the golden organs, the surging hormones of Jane's youth, the disdain and stubbornness flowing between the eyebrows, it is destined to be a fatal temptation. Girls always mature and grow old overnight. He said that he would like to meet you twenty years ago.

Duras is a crazy woman

[first lines]
Narrator: Very early in my life, it was too late. At eighteen it was already too late. At eighteen I aged. This aging was brutal. This aging, I saw it spread over my features, one by one. Instead of being frightened by it, I saw this aging of my face with the same sort of interest I might have taken for example in the reading of a book. That new face I kept it. It's kept the same contours, but its matter is destroyed. I have a destroyed face. Let me tell you again: I'm fifteen and a half. It's the crossing of a ferry on the Mekong.

[last lines]
Narrator: Years after the war, after the marriages, the children, the divorces, the books, he had come to Paris with his wife. He had phoned her. He was intimidated; his voice trembled, and with the trembling it had found the accent of China again. He knew she'd begun writing books. He had also heard about the younger brother's death. He had been sad for her. And then he had no more to tell her. And then he told her - he had told her that it was as before, that he still loved her, that he would never stop loving her, that he would love her until his death.
