Extreme close-ups of a cup of espresso interrupt the action in Godard's 'Deux ou trois choses que je sais d'elle': images between 'cut' and 'action'. Not only the meaning but also the actual description of this intervention differs from one reviewer to another. Just as a story whispered through a 'telephone' game usually hardly resembles the original. (Labat titled a previous production 'Lost in the translation'.) As long as the coffee is being stirred, there is ordered movement. But what then? Actors undergo a withamorphosis during rehearsal. Visual artists deform the human body in their sketch-books. The continuity is threatened by changing the props. The actors have been rearranged; a moving piëta. "Action." But why? I don't know, because someone was standing in my sight-line.
