Belle Page #3

Synopsis: The line between fantasy and reality is once more blurred in this Belgian/French drama about a professor of literature who develops an obsession with a beautiful woman he meets (or imagines meeting) in the woods. He has an affair with this woman, but before he can run off with her, his daughter, who is an object of his incestuous desire (as several daydream sequences make clear), kills the stranger. Perhaps, though, his daughter only kills his daydreams when she gets married.

It's your business.

Do you understand me?

No?

That cape isn't going to keep you warm.

You're running a temperature.

Your feet must be freezing.

I'll be back with medication.

Medication.

My name is Mathieu Gregoire.

Go on then.

That's better, isn't it?

Hello, Mr Gregoire.

We'd given up waiting for you.

Will you take my place?

We don't see you very often now,

Mathieu.

I expect that suits you, doesn't it?

I found a young, charming actress.

She's very cultured.

We talked about Louise Labe

and she knows her work.

What a terrific choice :

"Kiss me again and kiss me more"

"A luscious kiss

alive with your love"

Wonderful, isn't it?

Ask the Deputy.

Victor, you've lost.

So what are you complaining about?

Are they getting married soon?

- There's no rush.

We were 1 9 when we got married.

"Time flies by", as Marot said.

Or was it Ronsard?

Alas, time may freeze

But we never cease

You were out a long time.

We thought you might be here.

I was copying documents for Vincent.

What are you writing now?

One only knows

when it's finished, Marie.

We'd like to get married at the end

of November. A civil wedding.

All right.

When is the contract signed?

A week before the wedding?

The day before.

Belle?

Come here. Come on.

You are Belle. Yes, Belle.

I won't ask anything more of you.

Never speak to me.

I don't want to know who you are.

Come on.

Everything's all right.

Listen, Belle.

Listen, Belle.

Gales and gusts

Trapped in the hollows of dead forests

And undone in your hair

I don't know why.

A poet reciting his own work,

that's ridiculous.

I can tell you everything because you

understand nothing and say nothing.

It's settled for November 28th.

On November 24th

we sign at the notary's office.

Bring the wood in.

The wood.

Where have you been all this time?

I forgot the salt.

Can I use the Volvo for a few hours?

Can I use the Volvo?

I have to be in Liege at eleven.

- I'll be back at ten.

You're always late.

- Ten sharp at the kiosk, OK?

Where have you been all this time?

I didn't see you at the museum.

I wanted to let you know that I think,

if I may say so

I've found a new classification method

for the fen legends.

For my volume of legends, remember?

Are you listening, Mathieu?

I wanted to ask you

if I could use the same method

for the library filing cards.

I'm in a hurry, I'm waiting for my car.

But couldn't we...

Yes. An important appointment in Liege.

My publisher is very punctual.

You're having a lot of success in Liege.

Right, Mathieu?

Don't you know what time it is?

What will they say in Liege?

Could you give me a lift to Liege?

I have to go somewhere else first.

Belle?
