Each night in Paris, hundreds of men and women anonymously use telephone lines that date from the German Occupation and are no longer listed to talk to each other, to love each other. These people, shipwrecked lovers, are dying to love, to escape the abyss of solitude.
Directed by French writer Marguerite Duras—who penned, among other films, Resnais’ Hiroshima mon amour—this Paris-set drama is a follow-up to her iconic, utterly enchanting India Song. A fervid letter to anonymous love and desire, featuring the voices of Duras and protégé Benoît Jacquot.
