Dieu sait quoi is a masterpiece of Pollet’s maturity. It is a poetic meditation on the work of Francis Ponge, a writer who has always been inseparable from the fascination for the “silent world” that runs through Pollet’s films. “It is cinema without settings like a table that has been cleaned off. It is cinema where stones, water, fire and things return to a new life and live an existence that has not yet been seen or listened to...” (Pascal Bonitzer, 1996).
“It took me thirty years to be able to reach the same freedom that I had in Méditerranée again. For me, this language is something that goes on on its own. Long live editing and the dream mechanism soaked in the unconscious!... Long live editing, at night, right before falling asleep – an editing that is illuminating like that for dreams, in which there is no logic but that of the unconscious” (J.-D. Pollet, 1996).
French without subs: but be men of courage! Here you can find the italian translation of the French voice over:
