I’m not There (Todd Haynes, 2007)

The mystic Simone Weil wrote to a friend on another continent, ‘Let us love this distance, which is thoroughly woven with friendship, since those who do not love each other are not separated.’ For Weil, love is the atmosphere that fills and colors the distance between herself and her friend. Even when that friend arrives on the doorstep, something remains impossibly remote: when you step forward to embrace them your arms are wrapped around mystery, around the unknowable, around that which cannot be possessed.
grief and hope can coexist.
Je me crois en enfer, donc j'y suis.
La théologie est sérieuse, l'enfer est certainement en bas - et le ciel en haut. - Extase, cauchemar, sommeil dans un nid de flammes.

Lets suppose that you were able every night to dream any dream you wanted to dream,
and you would naturally as you began on this adventure of dreams, you would fulfill all your wishes.
You would have every kind of pleasure, you see,
and after several nights you would say, “well that was pretty great.”
But now lets have a surprise, lets have a dream which isn’t under control.
Well something is going to happen to me that i don’t know what it’s gonna be.
Then
you would get more and more adventurous, and you would make further and
further out gambles as to what you would dream, and finally you would
dream where you are now.
If you awaken from this illusion,
and you understand that black implies white,
self implies other,
life implies death.
You can feel yourself, not as a stranger in the world,
not
as something here on probation, not as something that has arrived here
by fluke, but you can begin to feel your own existence as absolutely
fundamental.
What you are basically, deep, deep down, far, far in, is simply the fabric and structure of existence itself.
- Alan Watts
