Rêve d’un jour

The daily newspaper, Le Jour, appeared for a few months in 1993 and was produced in somewhat adventurous circumstances by a group of young people both utopian and enthusiastic. “In this adventure, in the bodies and words that relate the story to me, there is a splendid energy and a great deal of emotion (…) Twelve months after the collapse of Le Jour, I suggested to Catherine Delgado, one of the paper’s journalists, that she meet up again with her former colleagues, those she wished to see again, rediscover and understand better. By living through the film, Catherine wrote the film’s scenario. She goes in search of what had burnt and vanished into smoke and what lay smouldering in the ashes. I filmed these encouters very simply – a face, a body, looks exchanged. The relation was established by telling and listening to the story. Interiors and half-light. The daylit place became a non-place – utopia itself – and time became non-time, that is to say the eternal present of memory.” (Jean-Louis Comolli)
