- DirectorMarguerite DurasStarsMarguerite DurasGérard DepardieuIn this most talky and personal of films, director Marguerite Duras and actor Gerard Depardieu do an on-camera read-through of a movie script. Occasionally, the director comments about the characters or their motivations, and sometimes the actor does. That's all -- there is no action, there are no location shots, no one pretends to be anything else. The script itself tells about an encounter between a blank-slate of a woman hitchhiker, and a communist truck driver. As the reading progresses, Duras comments bitterly about the failed ideals of communism and the glorious revolution that will probably never happen.

Dorothée, a former harpist employed in a travel agency, also dreams of going to the theater. She becomes the mistress of Hermann and, to make live the troupe, sells the diamond that had offered him a rich lover. She will finally be able to get on stage and appear in Schiller's "Marie Stuart" which will be played in front of a few spectators. But it does not matter: the troupe, bewitched by the magic of the theater, lives in hope, flippancy and humor. Yet the funds are running out and the rich suitor suddenly dies. Without new diamonds the troop may disappear. That's when Hermann receives a grant. The Theater of Matters continues. Without Dorothea.

A net of family members, friends, and acquaintances seems to swirl around the banking brothers, who are both trying to control the future of their beautiful niece Vanessa. Coffee-shop owners Eve and Jim complicate everybody's life with their intrigues and lies. A strange stage director comes from his foreign exile. And lack of funds suddenly reveals everyone's true colors--in banking, onstage, and everywhere.
