“And so I ask myself: 'Where are your dreams?' And I shake my head and mutter: 'How the years go by!' And I ask myself again: 'What have you done with those years? Where have you buried your best moments? Have you really lived?" Fyodor Dostoyevsky, White Nights

Me and You and Everyone We Know (2005)

"'Me and You and Everyone We Know' is a poetic and penetrating observation of how people struggle to connect with one another in an isolating and contemporary world. Christine Jesperson is a lonely artist and "Eldercab" driver who uses her fantastical artistic visions to draw her aspirations and objects of desire closer to her. Richard Swersey (John Hawkes), a newly single shoe salesman and father of two boys, is prepared for amazing things to happen. But when he meets the captivating Christine, he panics. Life is not so oblique for Richard's six-year-old Robby, who is having a risqué Internet romance with a stranger, and his fourteen-year-old brother Peter who becomes the guinea pig for neighborhood girls -- practicing for their future of romance and marriage."

Notti bianche, Le (1957) Luchino Visconti



Noites Brancas é uma obra do escritor Fiódor Dostoiévski. O personagem central numa das noites brancas da capital apaixona-se por Nástienka. Nesta obra, diferentemente de outras, em que a preocupação social é a directriz para o enredo, desta vez encontramos um Dostoiévski romântico, lúdico. O personagem principal, que ao contrário das versões teatrais e cinematográficas, não tem nome, vaga errante pela "noite branca" de São Petersburgo. "Noite branca" refere-se a um fenómeno comum na Europa em que, mesmo à noite, o sol não chega a se pôr completamente, causando uma atmosfera onírica. Um encontro casual muda completamente a vida do até então solitário protagonista: conhece a ingénua e também sonhadora Nástienka, que aos prantos, espera aquele a quem um ano antes tivera prometido o seu amor.
Ao longo das quatro noites seguintes, o protagonista apaixona-se pela moça e conhece a sua história: vive atada com um alfinete à saia da avó cega e ao lado da criada surda. Quando um novo inquilino chega à sua casa, ela vê a possibilidade de escapar da . O misterioso homem um dia deixa a casa, prometendo que voltaria depois de um ano, quando tivesse condições de casar-se com ela. Quando o protagonista encontra Nástienka na ponte sobre o rio Nieva, estamos exactamente no dia marcado para o reencontro. Mas nenhum dos três personagens pode prever o que o destino preparou para eles.

"A love triangle, the past invades the present. Mario, a shy man new in Venice, chats up a crying woman on a bridge. She's Natalia, waiting for a lover gone for a year who promised to return. For three nights, Mario accompanies Natalia, assists her, distracts her, dances with her, and falls in love. He's the present, real; can he pull Natalia into his arms, away from the past and from love for a man who will probably never return? On the third night, just before dawn, it snows"

Sonic Youth - Incinerate



I ripped your heart out from your chest
Replaced it with a grenade blast

Incinerate
Incinerate
Incinerate
Incinerate

The firefighters hose me down
I don't care, I'll burn out anyhow
It's four-alarm girl, nothing to see
Hear the sirens come for me
You doused my soul with gasoline
You flicked a match into my brain

Incinerate
Incinerate
Incinerate
Incinerate

The firefighters are so nice
I remember you so cold as ice
The flames are licking at your feet
The sirens come to put me me out of misery
You wave your torch into my eyes
Flamethrower lover burning mind

Al di là delle nuvole (1995)

"Made of four short tales, linked by a story filmed by Wim Wenders. Taking place in Ferrara, Portofino, Aix en Provence and Paris, each story, which always a woman as the crux of the story, invites to an inner travel, as Antonioni says "towards the true image of that absolute and mysterious reality that nobody will ever see"."

Again Kiyoshi rescues her, and their affair begins in earnest.
