babble, endless

As always ramble, endless dialogue. There are no stories in real life and emotions, some are just details, only one can perceive them, but they are hidden from the outside, neither strong nor bland, the inner wishes and fluctuations. So much dialogue is a luxury for real life and emotion. Life has no explanations and waves, and some are just ordinary and looking back on the past many years later, and will only express the indifference of "it should be like this".
The crooked Rohmer has not yet achieved the ability to express ordinary life in few words. If such a movie can be made, it should be a movie in essence, expressed in light and shadow rather than dialogue.

Claire's Knee quotes

  • Aurora, the novelist: Let me tell you something. Last year I wanted to test my charms on very young boys. The young generation is a complete unknown to me. Incomprehensible. A total mystery. I settled on the number five in one week.

    Jerome: Five!

    Aurora, the novelist: Actually, I had three. Very handsome, all of them.

    Jerome: Did you enjoy it, apart from the glory of conquest?

    Aurora, the novelist: It was very nice. I could have gone on. But since it was a matter of ego, and ego is quickly satisfied, at least, in this area, I prefer to wait. I know how to wait. Waiting is pleasant in and of itself.

  • Aurora, the novelist: She disturbs you? How? Her body?

    Jerome: Yes, the way she looks, since it's all I know about her. We've hardly ever spoken. I find it quite difficult to talk to her.

    Aurora, the novelist: Well, well. She intimidates you.

    Jerome: I feel absolutely powerless around girls like that.
