On And Off The Shelf, A Hopelessly Romantic Comedy [2009]
Original
Résumé A man, a woman, a bookstore, a love of books, a love of love, a fear of love.
A man, a woman, secrets and farewell notes, the past weighing down their present.
A woman, a man, their suffering, their solitary lives.
Ophelia and Pierre will fall in love, overcome the obstacles. We sense this from the start. We can feel this love in all its banal and yet seductive charm. We're drawn to their story because, deep down, we all want to believe that it's possible to start our lives over again. Extrait « PIERRE : The future doesn't even exist. We're all made of memories. The past is what keeps us going. It's like a battery... / OPHELIA : And so? / PIERRE : I want to let the battery run out, and then recharge it. / OPHELIA : We all have some memories that are not as good as others. / PIERRE : But now I want to liquidate the past, Ophelia. I want to make up a new past, with you. In the here and now. I'll wrestle the old one to the ground, examining it and grappling with it. I want to bring it before the court to be judged and sentenced. I want it to be put away for good. Somewhere it will fulfill its destiny, forgotten. » |
