Film Notes
The style of the film is in keeping with the story. These briefly hinted at destinies, these little melodies of life which for an instant emerge from the din to be quickly lost in the crowd, these “unanimous” thrusts could not be enclosed in a traditional narrative structure. The style and construction of the film imposed themselves as the story was developed. It is a film that cannot be told. No story, no beginning, no middle, no end. It is a film that could never end. My last – terrible – memory of Quelque part quelqu’un from a public screening, is that of a completely pink film, a surprising fact considering that the darker elements of the images had been stressed. The copy had completely changed colour and I found out afterwards that the internegative was also in a bad way.
