Fugue #146

Il y a des nouvelles ambiguités.
There are new ambiguities.

(White words on a black screen, a distorted and ominous voice reading them.)

Zed agrees, and nods at the television. He’s watching a documentary about Jean-Luc Godard. There’s interview footage from 1968, shortly before he took his well-publicized turn toward more radical politics. He’s talking about his process, and he’s at his cryptic best.

Dark sunglasses, a cigarette, a dismissive (dismissive in that particular Gallic way) gesture, and a quote:"Having an actor is not just having a person who has to act. His real life belongs in the picture, too, and you have to use it."

Then, "A lot of people cease to exist - or think they do - between two points, traveling. To me, what exists is mainly between."

Zed is rapt. It’s not the destination that matters. JLG explains, sort of: "It's not where you take things from," wink, "it's where you take them to."

And the familiar drums of a Rolling Stones song begin.
