Portraits of women in time

Her past, what she lacked, was also the source of her desires.
The unexpected change plunged her into sadness and memories.
Aging, this is the inner demon that each of us, and it is she, is trying to escape and is the most difficult to overcome.
Like the magnificent scenery, although beautiful, it often heralds bad weather.
But the more anxiety and escapism she harbored about the years, the more she became like an emotional child, constantly asking for the other party's emotional devotion and care to her.
The presence of her desires, like a ghost, potentially drives the narrative of the whole film.
The poisonous snake that time buried in a woman's heart. It was this jealous instinct that tempted her to hide her anxiety about the years with prejudiced mockery.
For her, life has to go on after all. A woman's double life in years.
One person's constant demand, constant approach, and constant tossing will always bring another person to the brink of collapse.
It has been too long, and there is no more comfort or poetry to speak of. The more time passes, the more frightened I feel, and my nerves seem to be tense all the time. As for what she has been repressing, is it because she has to accompany a clingy and uncertain boss for a long time, and she has to work hard to coax him, or because she has other unfulfilled expectations in her heart, and it is only herself. Clear.

    Under the flashlight, she walked out of the luxury car indifferently, with a common face; on the stage, she smiled politely and read out the prepared script. Her life is envied by everyone, but no one understands the loneliness. The male star who was not used to it touched his hand before, and his mood floated to the sky; the assistant praised the newcomer and gave birth to inexplicable jealousy. The sudden changes in middle-aged life have affected the life of the existing track at an imperceptible moment. Pretending to be calm is a life anxiety that cannot be hidden.

    Dramatic reality and the passage of time, elegant and brutal. Many aspects of the relationship between women can be seen in the rehearsal of the drama and life between the two.

Clouds of Sils Maria quotes

  • Christopher Giles: Tastes can get worn out, kind of like desire.

  • Maria Enders: [Referring to the proposed role of Helena] Time's gone by and she can't accept it. Me neither, I guess.

    Klaus Diesterweg: There is no antagonism. It's the attraction of two women with the same wound. Sigrid and Helena are one and the same person. One and the same person. That's what the play's about. And because you were Sigrid, only you can be Helena now.

    Maria Enders: How can you be so sure?

    Klaus Diesterweg: You know as well as I do that Wilhelm Melchior had been working on a sequel for years.

    Maria Enders: Yes. But it was about Sigrid at 40 years old.

    Klaus Diesterweg: No, it was about Sigrid 20 years later became Helena.

    Maria Enders: So who's going to play Sigrid?

    Klaus Diesterweg: Jo-Ann Ellis. She did a superhero movie that just opened in the States.

    Maria Enders: And besides that?

    Klaus Diesterweg: Not much. She's 19. She's a lot more interesting that her interviews and profiles. She has a theatrical background. She doesn't want to be swallowed up by Hollywood. She admires you and is willing to pull out of her other commitments.

    Maria Enders: I'll listen carefully. But to be honest, the role scares me. Helena scares me. I'm in the middle of a divorce. I feel alone, and vulnerable. Probably too vulnerable to do this.

    Klaus Diesterweg: If you refuse, I'll understand, but it will be a missed opportunity, especially for Wilhelm.

    Maria Enders: I should get going.

    Klaus Diesterweg: Excuse me, but I won't be staying for dinner. Good evening madam.

    Maria Enders: Klaus, I have another reason. Susan Rosenberg. She played Helena with me.

    Klaus Diesterweg: I remember Susan Rosenberg.

    Maria Enders: She died in a car accident a year after. It's a superstition; I've always associated her death with Helena's suicide.

    Klaus Diesterweg: She was a lousy actress who didn't understand a thing about the role. And her conventional style of acting highlighted the modernity of your performance. You should be grateful to her.
