In that moment that I shook my neck, I thought the only way, perhaps, have had to kill Cecilia. Killing would have stripped everything that made her shut up in prison el'avrei elusive final death.
Boredom is a novel by Alberto Moravia and Einaudi published in 1960. The narration is done in first person as a monologue of the protagonist, who narrates and explains his story. Incisive prose from the novel, is a merciless portrait of social alienation and an investigation of the relationship with reality through the category of ownership, typically bourgeois.
History of existential unease, a series of failures and disappointments, the novel recounts the experiences of Dino, who in the guise of an artist, a man and a lover, clashes with the impossibility of reality. The protagonist seeks to understand the boredom that afflicts him since he was a child, causing difficulty in their studies and now, as adults, become a painter, keeps him from painting. Attributing the source of annoyance to his wealth and maternal care, Dino left the house on the Via Appia to settle in a study being Margutta occur here's amorous encounters with Cecilia, a former lover Balestrieri, a painter who is senior to the young model and alter ego. Yet the relationship with the woman he loves, this is reduced to just sex, is experienced by the protagonist as a feeling dead, empty, until she can not find another man. At that point, Dino goes mad with jealousy and began to stalk, petty and desperate to get to the point of trying to kill her. But it will be overwhelmed by their inability and at the end, after a failed attempt at suicide, the hospital, they can understand love Cecilia.
The novel was adapted into a 1963 film directed by Damiano Damiani starring Catherine Spaak, Horst Buchholz, Bette Davis, Lea Padovani and Isa Miranda. A remake of the same title was produced by Cédric Kahn in 1998 with Charles Berling, Sophie Guillemin.
The first film does not seem appropriate to the topics developed in the novel, if only for the historical moment in which it was made, and the limitations of coercive censorship of the time. The central theme is in fact the sexual relationship between Cecilia and Dino. The unhealthy relationship between the two characters is not made in an authentic covered in the book. The actors seem too detached from the dramatic flow of the text and perhaps the image is too clean in the performance of the murky context of the story.
more "realistic" the second film. Maybe less efficient with regard to the film technique, the protagonists are more authentic and when the script more nuanced than the narrative development of the novel.
The contemplation of the tree. I did not think anything, I just wondered when and how I recognized the reality of the tree, that I had recognized the existence of such an object that was different from me, he had no dealings with me and yet there was and could not be ignored. Evidently something had happened right when I had launched the car off the road, something which, in other words, could be defined as the collapse of unsustainable ambition. Now gazed at the tree with infinite complacency, as if to feel different and independent from me, was what made me more pleasure.
