Spotlight - Philippe Garrel
J'entends plus la guitare
by Philippe Garrel
Country: France
Year: 1991
Duration: 98'
This film is dedicated to Nico.
"In the beginning, I wanted the film to be a train trip to Nico's tomb in the cemetery in Berlin, with the whole story constructed through flashbacks. I later gave up this idea because it seemed to me to be some novelist's cliché. So, I said to myself that I wanted to talk only about the phase when a person enters his forties. This is a moment when he swings between the state of being a young man and a man. And it is for this reason that getting old does not scare me. At the beginning, its a mental fact When we think about out youth, we see ourselves as we are today, with the same form of mental attitude. If I had decided to direct actors younger than me, I would have had the problem of the second role. I do not understand how an adolescent could have regretted (as we have regretted) tolerating the appearance of cynicism in himself. The present time of J'entend plus la guitarre is that of a lost world. I thus preferred that the character already had the age of arrival. While I was shooting, I was reading L'éducation sentimentale to put myself to sleep. In a way, J'entends plus la guitare telIs the story of the sentimental education of a particular generation." (Interview by Thierry Jousse, "Cahiers du Cinéma", n. 447, September, 1991).
