Clouds of Sils Maria Page #3

Synopsis: At the peak of her international career, Maria Enders is asked to perform in a revival of the play that made her famous twenty years ago. But back then she played the role of Sigrid, an alluring young girl who disarms and eventually drives her boss Helena to suicide. Now she is being asked to step into the other role, that of the older Helena. She departs with her assistant to rehearse in Sils Maria; a remote region of the Alps. A young Hollywood starlet with a penchant for scandal is to take on the role of Sigrid, and Maria finds herself on the other side of the mirror, face to face with an ambiguously charming woman who is, in essence, an unsettling reflection of herself.

And that he did not like.

He made me pay. Each day of shooting.

He was masterful in this film...

What title already?

It plays a Soviet defector.

With missiles codes and everything.

I do not see. Ever heard.

It's perfect.

So intense.

In the physical scenes, he that look... It is...

- I like him.

- I understood.

I like him as an actor.

Unfortunately, it must already start tomorrow morning...

Henryk Wald!

I was on that stage there 4 years,

to the room The Reichstag burns,

Wilhelm Melchior.

I did not know it would be his very last room.

He was sitting in third place,

in watching me.

I've never played so badly.

Maria, you in five minutes.

Wilhelm Melchior will always be among us

through its parts.

I am privileged to play

here in London, everywhere.

I do not tell him "goodbye"

but "soon, Wilhelm".

Thank you, Henryk,

for this beautiful tribute.

Please welcome now

an old friend of Wilhelm.

Applause for...

Maria Enders!

Thank you.

Thank you.

- Good Evening.

- Welcome.

I am honored to receive you.

I would have preferred otherwise.

It's good to celebrate his piece.

I held that Zurich makes him homage.

He was very grateful to you.

It happens.

She will be happy to escape that.

- His last play was in Zurich.

- I know.

Grim picture of our political class.

- To say.

- You know,

your character was terrible.

Klaus Diesterweg is there.

Excuse me.

I already told him no.

He wants to see you.

It does not interest me.

It's perfect. Listening to it, it is not binding.

This is the best.

We saw the same productions.

If you prefer to talk with the mayor and Henryk, go ahead.

No, thank you.

Alright with you if I eclipse?

- I go out with Berndt.

- Berndt?

The photographer.

We will go elsewhere, it's dead here.

No problem. I will not stay.

Have fun.

Thank you for your time.

- It's a pleasure.

- I do not insist too much?

I saw your productions. I liked it and...

I know we will have the opportunity to work together.

Give me another chance.

Klaus...

I played Sigrid Snake Maloja

when I was 18 years old.

It was more than a role for me.

Somehow I stayed Sigrid.

Exactly. Sigrid Helena seduced...

She is not a lesbian. I've always been straight.

- I did not say that.

- Sigrid is free.

Beyond all. It is disruptive and unpredictable.

I have always identified with that freedom.

One way to...

protect me.

Do you smoke?

I Do Not. I try to avoid.

And Helena embodies the opposite?

Helena is 40 years old, entrepreneur.

It is totally in love with a girl who does not like it.

And which leads to suicide.

Yes, it's just the opposite.

What attracts Helena with Sigrid, despite their difference?
