[About the Book]

—Why do you make films?

—I love films, very much.

This book for the first time compiles 14 film notes and interviews by Duras, including those related to "India Song," as well as 3 essays.

Previously, these manuscripts and interviews were difficult to access and had never been published.

Duras, as always, uses fragmented, despairing yet ardent language to reveal her thoughts on the world, film, writing, and other arts at the very moment of filming.

She frequently utters brilliant remarks, shining with intellectual splendor and revealing the flashes of a genius, which are utterly captivating.

She extended writing through film.
