Le Camion Series: Tough and Tender: The Films of Gérard Depardieu [Aug. 3 - 19, 2007] Director: Marguerite Duras, Country: France, Release: 1977, Runtime: 80 A filmmaker (Duras) reads aloud the script for the movie she wants to make with her lead actor (Depardieu). They are the only two people onscreen, sitting at a table––the aging mandarin and the louche young sensualist. Their scenes alternate with beautiful images of the eponymous five-axle truck itself rolling across the desolately beautiful countryside outside Paris. But this film-about-a-film is only a device; the real subject is its author and her aching desire, which she transmits to her creations. “Pialat is a painter. Truffaut is a novelist. Bergman is a musician. Duras is silence,” observed Depardieu, of the woman whose self-proclaimed intention was “to murder cinema” whenever she made a film (and who basically sent him on the road to stardom with Nathalie Granger). Paradoxically, she created great cinema in the process. “After seeing her work,” wrote Duras admirer John Waters, “I think I know what it must feel like to be hypnotized.”
