Quotes6

  • [first lines]
  • Jean Rouch, Himself: This film was made without actors, but lived by men and women who devoted some of their time to a novel experiment of "cinéma vérité."
  • Jean Rouch, Himself: You've just seen yourself on-screen. Edgar and I would like your opinion. Children first. Véro? Did you like what you saw?
  • Véro - 12 Year Girl: Charlie Chaplin's better.
  • Jean Rouch, Himself: We wanted to make a film about love, but it turns out to be about indifference, or, if not indifference, one that triggers off a reaction, not necessarily a sympathetic one.
  • Edgar Morin, Himself: It's the difficulty to communicate.
  • Jean Rouch, Himself: When you leave home in the morning, do you have a plan for the day?
  • Marceline Loridan Ivens, Herself: Sometimes, when I leave home, I have things to do. But I don't necessarily do them. I never know what I'll do the next day. I live by the principle that tomorrow's another day. For me, adventure is always just around the corner.
  • Marceline Loridan Ivens, Herself: I'd never marry a black.
  • Nadine Ballot, Herself: Me neither. Because of the kids.
  • Jean Rouch, Himself: Why?
  • Marceline Loridan Ivens, Herself: For me, there's no connection whatsoever. I'm not a racist, I can understand marrying a black; but...
  • Angelo, Factory Worker: But you don't like Negroes!
  • Jean Rouch, Himself: You're a racist sexually.
  • Marceline Loridan Ivens, Herself: I'm not. It's not racism. I can have sex with someone I fancy, not with someone I don't.
  • Jean Rouch, Himself: So, you don't fancy blacks?
  • Marceline Loridan Ivens, Herself: I still don't think it's possible. Just because I don't feel like it. But I remember, two years ago, on Bastille Day.
  • Angelo, Factory Worker: You weakened?
  • Marceline Loridan Ivens, Herself: I didn't; but, I remember it was the first time at a July 14th ball, that I danced with a black.
  • Jean Rouch, Himself: Landry, have you noticed the number on Marceline's arm?
  • Landry, African Immigrant: Yes.
  • Jean Rouch, Himself: What do you think it is?
  • Landry, African Immigrant: I've no idea.
  • Jean Rouch, Himself: No idea? How about you, Raymond?
  • Raymond, African Immigrant: I know that sailors wear tattooed numbers, but she's not sailor. I don't know what it means. A tease?
  • Landry, African Immigrant: Why a number?
  • Marceline Loridan Ivens, Herself: A heart would look better.
  • Raymond, African Immigrant: It's not a phone number, too long.
  • Marceline Loridan Ivens, Herself: First of all, it's not a V, it's a triangle. Half of the Jewish star. The Jewish symbol is the six-pointed star. On the other hand, it isn't my phone number. I was sent to a concentration camp because I'm a Jew. This is the number I was given in the camp.
  • Nadine Ballot, Herself: Do you know what a camp is?
  • Raymond, African Immigrant: Yes. Yes, I've seen a film about them. "Night and Fog."
