The first part of the film, Sentimental Education, traces the years of learning. Those years were characterized by the dominant presence of music, and the nostalgic atmosphere of this return to the past is whispered through the images and words sublimated by Poulenc’s third Novelette performed by a pianist friend. Then we hear one of the Wesendonck lieder (songs), an expression of eternal thwarted love desire, followed by Schumann’s song Die Lotosblume, a song surpassing all expressions of language. Music mixed with literature, that is the basis of my plastic expression.
