Description

Une femme seule dans une chambre en désordre téléphone à son amant qui vient de la quitter pour une autre. En partant de cette situation tristement banale, Jean Cocteau a écrit une mini-tragédie en un acte - un étrange "monologue à deux voix" fait de paroles et de silences - dans laquelle le téléphone joue un rôle essentiel. "Dans le temps, écrit Cocteau, on se voyait. On pouvait perdre la tête, oublier ses promesses, risquer l'impossible, convaincre ceux qu'on adorait en les embrassant, en s'accrochant à eux. Un regard pouvait changer tout. Mais avec cet appareil, ce qui est fini est fini." Créé en 1930 à la Comédie-Française par Berthe Bovy, ce texte a également été joué et enregistré par Simone Signoret. Il a été mis en musique par Francis Poulenc et adapté au cinéma par Roberto Rosselini, avec Anna Magnani dans le rôle-titre.
