Handwritten dedication

 

Handwriting
on the movie poster

In the red square, "Laetitia" is written leaned above 李康
like the Laetitia's face on the movie poster is
above the Lee Kang-Sheng's face.

Hence the French title of the movie that
--in the beginning-- was declined in the plural:
"VISAGES" in capital letters.

Laetitia herself wrote her name
on the left side of this strange red flag
decorating a temporary altar
on the sidewalk in front of a brasserie
near Montmartre in Paris.

The crew of the movie signed dedications to celebrate the first day of shooting on November 10, 2008.
Even the date pays tribute to the François Truffaut's movie Les 400 coups [the 400 blows]
that began day for day fifty years ago on November 10, 1958.

In the center above the roof of Visage [ ],
there is the name of the film director Tsai Ming-Liang [蔡明亮]

Handwriting dedication
by the crew of Face

Opening ceremony [ 開鏡大吉 ] for the movie Visage [ ]

Like a half-moon in the gardens of Tuileries, the iron half-sphere
that highlights "Casta" could reflect the photographer who is shooting the picture
because in the manner of La nuit américaine [Day for Night], Face is a movie within a movie.

In fact the sphere is the head of a Parisian pillar on the sidewalk.
Do you guess who has his first name cut just behind? Lee Kang-Sheng [李康]!
