Imaginary Conversations #2 : Night and Day (1991) Directed by Chantal Akerman

- When life is divided into Night and Day, sleep has no place.
- Sleep becomes a bad omen, disturbing life itself.
- That’s true if you’re young and in love. Sleep consumes the time needed for youth.
- “For the deeper perception does not believe that she, who lies like someone sleeping in a glass coffin, was awakened.”
- “I only know how to interpret dreams.” Said Jack to Julie.
- Daydreaming replaces dreaming.
- Interpreting daydreams is the realm of phenomenology.
- Daydreaming is hyperreal and doesn’t communicate in signs.

- Julie wanders alone through Paris at night, while Jack drives his Cab.
- She’s a sleepwalker.
- One night he asks her to ride the Taxi with him instead of walking, she feels oppressed even though the windows of the car were open.
- When they remodeled their flat making the bedroom bigger, Julie had no place in it anymore.
