Les Amours Imaginaires

 

A high IQ is a vital counterpoint to brown eyes.

Les Amours Imaginaires, Xavier Dolan (2010)

Wings of Desire

  

  

When the child was a child, it was the time of these questions. Why am I me, and why not you? Why am I here, and why not there? When did time begin, and where does space end? Isn't life under the sun just a dream? Isn't what I see, hear, and smell just the mirage of a world before the world? Does evil actually exist, and are there people who are really evil? How can it be that I, who am I, wasn't before I was, and that sometime I, the one I am, no longer will be the one I am?

Wings of Desire, Wim Wenders (1987)

Joker

 

Is it just me, or is it getting crazier out there?

Joker, Todd Phillips (2019)

Taste of Cherry

   If you look at the four seasons, each season brings fruit. In summer, there's fruit, in autumn, too. Winter brings different fruit and spring, too. No mother can fill her fridge with such a variety of fruit for her children. No mother can do as much for her children as God does for His creatures. You want to refuse all that? You want to give it all up? You want to give up the taste of cherries?

Ta'm e guilass, Abbas Kiarostami (1997)

De tanto bater o meu coração parou

De battre mon coeur s'est arrêté, Jacques Audiard (2005)

Under the tree

Undir trénu, Gunnar Sigurðsson (2017)

Interstellar

  

   We've always defined ourselves by the ability to overcome the impossible. And we count these moments. These moments when we dare to aim higher, to break barriers, to reach for the stars, to make the unknown known. We count these moments as our proudest achievements. But we lost all that. Or perhaps we've just forgotten that we are still pioneers. And we've barely begun. And that our greatest accomplishments cannot be behind us, that our destiny lies above us.

Interstellar, Christopher Nolan (2014)

Aquarius

   

  É impressionante o que se diz, que falta educação. E sempre se referem a gente pobre. Mas falta de educação não tá em gente pobre não, tá em gente rica e abastada como você, sabe? Gente de elite, que se fala "de elite", que se acha privilegiada, que não entra em fila. Gente como você, que fez "curso de Business" nos Estados Unidos, mas não tem formação humana, não criou caráter, sabe? Quer dizer... O seu caráter é o dinheiro. Portanto, meu amor, você não tem caráter. Só o que você tem é essa carinha de merda.

   

Aquarius, Kleber Mendonça Filho (2016)

Amarcord

   Look how many there are. Millions and millions and millions of stars. Jesus Christ! I wonder how they all stay in place up there. I mean, it's pretty simple for us. To build a house, we use so many bricks, so much lime. But up there, sweet Jesus! Where do you put the foundations? They aren't just confetti, you know.

Amarcord, Frederico Fellini (1973)

Al Berto

- Tens cara de poeta.

- Como assim?

- Tens uns olhos demasiado tristes. Todos os homens com olhos demasiado tristes são poetas. Mas tu nunca choras, pois não? O mundo só é real quando o homem chora. É preciso ter cuidado com a tristeza. Ela fecunda a própria alma. Expande-se como a própria vida. Torna-se o próprio nome.

Al Berto, Vicente Alves do Ó (2017)

Ma Mère

   I would have preferred doing otherwise. Or living otherwise. But I let myself get overcome by things. Things foreign to me. They settled in. Little by little. They destroyed my hope. They began to rule. You can understand that when I was young this wasn't the life I dreamed of. I didn't dream of this life because I wasn't this person. I was full of joy and energy. You didn't know me, Pierre. As soon as you were born, my youth fell apart. I have the impression that my life today doesn't correspond to my true nature. I have the impression I haven't changed. Still full of joy and energy. But unable to prove it to others. Alone in my joy and energy.

Ma Mère,  Christophe Honoré (2004)

The Inner Life of Martin Frost

- Who are you? What the hell are you doing here?

- It doesn't matter who I am.

- Yes it matters very much!

- No my darling it doesn't.

- How can you say that?

- It doesn't matter because you love me. Because you want me. So what else matters?

The Inner Life of Martin Frost, Paul Auster (2007)

My Passion for Trees

- I've even turned my six-acre garden into a secret woodland and I think of my trees as part of my extended family. But I've always suspected that there is much more to these beautiful, magical giants. 

Judi Dench: My Passion for Trees (2017)

Caramel

- Life is like a melon, you have to cut it to see if it's good.

Caramel, Nadine Labaki (2007)

Mustang

Everything changed in a blink of an eye.

Mustang, Deniz Gamze Ergüven (2015)
