Overview

In 1982, Yann Andréa and Marguerite Duras have been living together for two years. She is almost 70 years old, while he is 38 years her junior. Andréa asks journalist and writer Michèle Manceaux to interview him about his life with Duras, an obsession that both impassions him and drives him mad. He believes by entrusting their story to Manceaux, he may gain more clarity of the relationship. What follows is an intense and compelling conversation delving into the deepest recesses of modern love.

00:08:59 It's not done. Don't be a groupie. It's Duras, after all!

00:12:21 So, I realized there was no point seeing her.

00:16:19 The vision I had of "India Song", where people are...

00:21:06 She always says her number is unlisted.

00:25:28 I said: "Yes, indeed, maybe it's not worth it, but I'm here."

00:32:43 with a real relationship.

00:37:21 I'd go so far as to say I was an innocent virgin.

00:41:15 I thought I had considered everything.

00:44:55 I immediately typed up her texts.

00:51:40 It was in Caen, so Bitter Campari wasn't very popular.

01:01:09 Look at me and don't think of your walk.

01:04:15 It even went further:

01:07:49 it's not just that.

01:12:41 To cushion this non-existence, to recover something,

01:16:24 And I can't help but want to leave her.

01:19:32 It's not the cause of everything.

01:22:27 There are networks, like everywhere.

01:24:58 It doesn't stop me having homosexual desires. I told Marguerite.

01:32:42 I'll quit everything. I'll see nobody but you.
