« Although I am, today, much more moved by sober writers (in terms of writing style), I still feel the greatest admiration (and a particular tenderness) for the others, the luxuriant ones, the generous, the feverish, the monsters. It's as though they were afraid of missing a single thing. They want to embrace the whole world, imprison it in a net they are weaving as they go, urgently, as if they had to erect a cathedral before nightfall, without anyone's help, at the risk of having the entire building fall in on them. Only the sheer size of the walls and the mass of material used can maintain the improbable balance and transform ugliness into beauty. These writers are saints. Sober writers are angels. »

— Philippe Djian, Ardoise

Jean-Hugue Anglade and Béatrice Dalle on set of 37°2 Le Matin aka Betty Blue (1986)

[theoscarsproject]

Betty Blue (1986). A lackadaisical handyman and aspiring novelist tries to support his younger girlfriend as she slowly succumbs to madness.

While this film is just soaked in masculine fantasy, I still enjoyed the first half as a depiction of a manic romance, particularly Béatrice Dalle's magnetic performance as the titular Betty, but good lord, if it doesn't let itself down in the final act where it pivots from sexist to outright misogynistic. The end of Betty's arc left me pretty furious, and I feel would likely colour any repeat viewing of it. Just - - yeah. Not Good. 4/10.

¿No debería uno prestar la máxima atención a cada momento de la vida y convertirlo, por así decirlo, en el último cigarrillo antes de la ejecución, el cigarrillo del que se dicen tantas cosas buenas y se dice que es el rey de todos los cigarrillos y nada es mejor que ¿él? ¿No deberíamos tomar los cielos antes que arrastrarnos sobre nuestros escombros, no deberíamos tomar la medida de todo lo que nos rodea?

Mercredi soir

Beau coucher de soleil sur l’océan, aussi implacable dans sa course qu’imprévisible dans sa manifestation, ses développements. Plus tard, l’émission de télé La Grande librairie avait pour invités Lydie Salvayre et deux écrivains contestés auxquels je suis fidèle depuis des décennies, Philippe Djian et Bret Easton Ellis. Même fenêtres fermées, l’océan est là, bien présent, comme un chien qui ronfle dans la nuit.

巴黎野玫瑰／37°2 le matin

“The rose in your eyes is your deepest love for me.

眼裡開出玫瑰，就是你對我最深的愛意。”

－ Jean Jacques Beineix (1946-2022)

🎯 《I turned my back to her. I felt a slight burning on the back of my neck.

“Listen to me,” I went on.

“I never was much for fucking around, I never got much out of it. I know that everybody else does it; but it’s no fun if you just do like everybody else. To tell you the truth, it bores me, It does you good to live according to your ideas, to not betray yourself, not cop out at the last minute just because some girl has a nice ass, or someone offers you a huge check, or because the path of least resistance runs by your front door. It does you good to hang tough. It’s good for the soul.”

I turned around to tell her the Big Secret;

“Over Dispersal, I choose Concentration. I have one life—the only thing I’m interested in is making it shine.”》

― Philippe Djian／Betty Blue

Ardoise

Philippe Djian à la cinquantaine entreprend de rendre hommage aux écrivains qui ont bouleversé sa vie. Il ne s'agit pas de dresser une biobibliographie de leurs œuvres mais plutôt de dire en quoi chacun de ces maîtres a impacté sa propre existence. Ainsi sont évoqués Salinger et son Attrape-cœurs, Céline et Mort à crédit, le poète Blaise Cendrars, Jack Kerouac et son rouleau, le Moby Dick de Melville, Henry Miller, Faulkner, Hemingway, Richard Brautigan et Raymond Carver. Une belle ballade qui raconte en creux Philippe Djian mais qui donne surtout envie de lire ou relire ces grands écrivains pour la plupart américains.

7,5/10

Review of Without counting | Warning, minefield

With an almost “Nothombesque” regularity, Philippe Djian concocts very digestible novels almost every year, without however sinking into lightness. Updated at 6:00 p.m. Known for dissecting often explosive couple relationships, he borrows, with Without countingrefreshing paths for the author, but tortuous for his characters. In the center of the chessboard, Nathan, editor in a daily newspaper…

Philippe Djian - Sans compter

Est-ce qu’un roman de Philippe Djian se raconte ? Et, pourtant, il faut bien donner envie de s’y plonger, de s’y noyer même, pour s’imprégner de l’atmosphère de ce cinquante-septième roman, Sans compter. Brins d’histoire Nathan se dévoile sans en dire plus qu’il n’en faut. Il rencontre une randonneuse, Nicole, qui vient de passer quinze jours dans une forêt, complètement perdue ! Lui qui…
