Agatha And The Limitless Readings - 1981 - 7/10
AKA - Agatha et Les Lectures Illimitées
Sister and brother, both early 30’s, rendezvous at an empty seaside hotel for, perhaps, the last time.
The site where, in their teens, they first “saw” the other, and developed passionate feelings.
Feelings seem mixed. Neither guilt, nor regret, simply sorrow at the imminent parting.
Dialogue propels the narrative. Theatrical, arch, stilted, akin to poetry.
The siblings are rarely shown. Photography lingers on waves, skies, horizons, the beach.
I imagine we ought to consider the tide of memory, surging, shifting, receding.
Not for all tastes, but if one is patient, quite patient, and able to listen, this is deeply rewarding.
