"Indeed - why should I not admit it? - in that moment, my heart was breaking."
Самая сильная строчка из всего, что я читала. Потрясающее произведение - потрясающая книга. Написанная шикарным языком. Когда люди не в состоянии поступиться своей ролью, чтобы, пусть на мгновение, но все пошло по-другому.

IVORY: We want to know about the book scene.
THOMPSON: Okay, well, here’s what I remember. We had difficulty at first- I don’t think we had the curtains closed like that at first, I think the room was less… dark. And I couldn’t quite get my way into it.
And Tony and I had a chat about it and he said, ‘think of those afternoons when there’s, sort of, nothing happening and the air’s very still and heavy. And there’s maybe a fly buzzing in the window pane somewhere, but there’s nothing going on and nothing to be done and nothing needing to be done. And into that… stillness… comes this moment. Because I came in with too much intention and it just happened.
And when she tries to take the book away and Tony’s staring, and if you notice, he’s looking at my mouth. And it’s very… it’s almost unbearable and at the end of each take, I was very close to fainting. Because I just stopped breathing. It was just- look. It’s so close, it’s almost unbearable. I was breathless at the end of each take, just completely breathless.
And then he did that thing of taking his hand, and putting it very… it’s just resting in the air, you can’t quite see it behind my head but I could feel it. As though he was just about to touch her hair. And it was- he just can’t manage to do it.
