Tabula rasa - an empty paper rests before the writer, ready to be filled with characters; like black on white, a black and white shot unfolds before the viewer in the first few seconds, still without characters and therefore inhabited only by inanimate objects - chairs, a garden, tables - and only when the characters appear shortly thereafter do they carry something of that deathly taste with them. After all, all the characters are dead, and it is either because they are experiencing inner emotional burnout or because they are just fictional characters existing only on paper/canvas. (This is Duras' second film, with the first one being created entirely independently in which she demonstrated her sense of meta-fiction and unconventional cinematography). Are the film's plots just a participation but a false and deliberate creation of two "emerging" writers? /// However, Duras creates an engulfing atmosphere of purgatory, in which people only manage to avoid dying by alienating themselves from others, and their desire only revives in another, who becomes a lifeline from indifference. Or did the trio of cynical and hopeless characters, like a vampire, pounce on the last emotionally suffering and thus living character, who is eventually initiated into their game? (Only those who do not understand that the game is an artificial creation in everything can truly experience it.) /// Once again, Duras' words and dialogues create another complete world alongside or in the midst of the one seen on the screen.
