It is so beautiful.
But at the same time it is very sad because
what it is not there in those buildings
is life. They are dead.
They are monuments to a time that passed
long, long time ago, whose glory is part
of history and now covers the pages of old
books, that's all. |

| We went to the COLISEUM,
the Roman Circus, the symbolic center of
the Roman Empire. It looked so big
and so small. It's bigger in my imagination.
It is also very odd to see it the
way it is now. Old, crumbling, in
ruins. |

It was here that so many
people died in so many nasty ways, fighting
with gladiators, eaten by lions, burned
in crosses, crucified. I
can see in JJ's eyes that he has strong
emotions about these place.
He told me that maybe
we were here in the past. Maybe
I was one of those people that saw others
die ... or maybe that I myself died
here.

JJ told me how
he would love to make a movie about those
times, with crucifixions and all... but
in a realistic way, the way it probably
happened.
I can imagine myself playing
a young innocent christian woman dying
up in a nasty cross.
Facing the Coliseum
I think of the possibility of experiencing
the cross, not knowing that JJ has already
planned a crucifixion for me when we go
back to France.
|
After Rome JJ
talked to me a lot about this crucifixion
idea he has for a film, he also mentioned
a very old film set in Rome where women
are crucified. He wants to see me
like that. I guess we'll work at
it, it's really interesting and scary.
With these images we made love
in the train on our way to Firenze.
