Contes immoraux (1974)

Love, delightful as it is,
pleases even more by the ways
in which it reveals itself.
La Rochefoucauld
(Quotes)
La Maree based on the story of
Andre Pieyre de Mandiargues
Julie, my cousin, was sixteen,
I was twenty,
and this small difference in age,
made her docile to my will.
Be careful!
You too!
Goodbye! Don't worry!
-How many tomatoes do you want?
-Two!
Hurry!
My hat! In my room,
under the bed!
Bring me my hat!
That is not a hat!
I will get past you,
so I won't see you!
I want to forget you.
I must yearn for you,
next time we meet.
-How many;
-Five.
I have met five boys
since last summer.
I met them in parties.
We made out...
Only that;
On the mouth;
No! Each time
my mother was present.
Untouched.
Thanks to my aunt
who left today!
I think your mother
looks like madame Claude.
That fat lady who introduces you
to girls in Paris?
They are my friends!
-Do you see them often?
-Every Wednesday. We have fun.
Have you kissed them?
Not exactly.
I have other uses for their mouths.
Watch out girlie!
If we go on like this,
the tide will catch us.
The tide is nearing!
It's your fault!
You should have told me earlier!
It is too late now!
We have come a long way,
to go back.
We'll head for those rocks
The tide won't reach us there.
We will wait until the waters recede.
My foot hurts!
What shall we do?
We are all alone!
The water won't get any higher.
Do you see that line on the rocks?
If we get a little higher,
we'll only wet our feet.
Andre, I am here!
Come closer!
Crawling!
Get up!
Give me your dress!
Did you get it dirty already?
You have time to wash it,
until your mother returns.
Tidal timetable
Now you shall take off your
swimming suit.
You'll be naked
under the dress.
Get those seaweeds off you!
You'll play another game with me.
I want it much.
Come here!
Come!
Closer!
As close as you can.
Look at this!
1 1 :27...
I have craved your mouth
for a long time.
As a man in the desert
craves cool water.
I will satisfy my desire
and quench my thirst.
You'll kiss me on the mouth?
You shall not kiss me on the mouth!
You shall take me in your mouth!
I thought you understood.
Like the girls of Madame Claude.
You shall take me,
until high tide.
That's half an hour.
So you won't talk to me
and distract me...
...I will explain the tide
phenomenon.
Pay attention to what I do
to your mouth...
...to the sea that is rising
all around us...
...like the desire that rises
within me.
Exactly at 11 :27,
I will enter your mouth.
It is not easy
to subdue you...
...but I have some experience,
and I am a bit older than you.
I need to concentrate.
You too should concentrate.
Think strongly of what you need.
Yourself, me...
...somebody you desire
or something you want.
You will mostly feel
the consummation of my desire.
When I enter your throat...
...you will swallow obediently
and with pleasure my gift to you.
you shall consider this gift...
...the outcome of the tide
that is rising right now.
I do not have to tell you
what I am thinking right now.
Come on! We have no time to lose!
Wrench, don't you want something
good?
I have for you a salty stick
that all little sheep desire.
The tide is the result...
...of the gravitational pull
of the Moon and the Sun...
An action...
...that depends...
...from the moon...
...as it nears...
We still have time to have fun.
No! We didn't come to the rocks
for fun.
This was your training.
Now you know all about the tide.
Theresa the Philosopher
10 July 1890
''the locals demand that Theresa
be declared a Saint...''

raped by a vagabond.''
The Sunday Gazette
We are good
to those who are good.
Is the holy ghost speaking?
I am the lord of the heart.
I lead all hearts
wherever I please.
My child, you don't need
to know much to love me.
As long as you love me deeply.
I love you, my lord.
I am the Lord
of the beauty of the heart.
The beauty of the body
belongs to me as well.
Ask for them, if you wish.
I can give you everything.
I give everything, when it's used
to cleanse souls.
What do you want child?
-I want to be happy.
-I am here. I won't leave you.
My heart, my hands
are your treasures.
I ask for only one thing.
that you take full pleasure from them.
Ask for my help.
Show me your weaknesses.
How sensuous are you?
Arrogant, sensitive, selfish,
cowardly, slothful?
Sigh...
forgive me, my Lord.
liar!
I stayed in the church
after the ritual!
I did nothing!
You are a liar!
I tell you the truth!
liar!
You will remain in here
for three days and nights!
Give me my book!
My book!
Get your mouth near that water.
It will quench your thirst.
It will give you the life
of angels.
It will reinvigorate your faith.
To will do everything for your mercy.
You will crave a better world
where no thirst exists...
...only God
and His glory.
My pleasures will be for you.
I am here
to console you...
...to make you smile,
to offer you joy.
An unexpected visit.
Is it a reward for which you
deem yourself unworthy?
I believe in your Providence.
I am coming near you, Jesus Christ.
My heart is ready.
you are so sensuous...
Help!
