All the Colours of the Dark (Tutti i colori del buio)

ALL THE COLOURS OF THE DARK

Jane!

Once again you didn't take them.

Why?

Come on

like a good girl...

Drink!

Try to get some sleep.

Please Richard, stay here with me.

I need to be in Oxford tomorrow morning.

I need to check all the databases.

There's quite a few to check.

Please don't go Richard!

I beg you!

Alright.

I'll wait here until you've fallen asleep.

- I can't! - Jane

Please, Jane! Look at me!

- I can't... - Jane...

Richard!

Please help me! - Calm down now...

Please help me! Help me...

Relax Jane...

No!

No, thank you.

Oh gosh, it's late!

I'm going to miss the 8:40 train.

I'm sorry to leave you alone.

Barbara should be calling me...

I bet you she's going to tell you about her psychiatrist!

She thinks he could help me.

Of course she would.

Probably a charlatan like all the others.

Who think that Freud has all the answers.

He'll try to charm you with the usual chat.

You shouldn't speak like that about Dr. Barton.

After all Barbara does work for him.

If she admires him so much...

Yeah, yeah sure.

I've got nothing against your sister.

But please, Jane...

Leave psychoanalysis out of this.

But Richard, you don't know what happens to me when I dream.

You're just exhausted, I promise you.

Your body hasn't adjusted after your operation.

You think I can't imagine what it must be like

for you to have lost your baby like that?

It was my baby too.

I've suffered too.

Bye my darling, come back soon!

Goodnight darling, tonight was so much fun!

- Bye darling. - Good Night!

Will you think of me?

Richard should be grateful to you.

If you hadn't helped him prepare that test

he would never have got his job.

He obviously blames me for what happened after.

What do you mean?

Of having introduced him to you.

What's that stuff that he's giving you?

A concentrate of vitamins.

It makes me feel nauseous.

I'm worried that Richard is taking himself too seriously.

After all, he's just a pharmaceutical sale rep.

He's not a doctor.

Don't judge him.

He's just trying to help!

By stuffing you full of vitamins?

Darling...

Vitamins, taken without medical guidance can be dangerous!

I don't know what I should do anymore.

I know he loves me.

But he doesn't understand me.

And I

Day after day, it feels like I'm crumbling into an abyss.

This is all too fantastical.

You simply need a good psychoanalyst.

This is why I've booked you an appointment with Dr. Barton.

Sit down darling.

He will see you soon.

Jane! Come in.

Was that woman your mother?

- Yes. - How old were you?

Five.

I'm not sure if you know this, but...

You've started where people usually ends their treatment.

Meaning, with all the trauma that you experienced as a child

Don't you think that this bodes well?

I'd love to believe that.

Can it really be so?

This is just an interview for now.

Have you ever spoken about this to your husband?

Well...

Actually, Richard and I aren't married yet.

So does this limit how much you confide in him?

No...

You see, he wouldn't understand.

Richard thinks that it's because of the car accident I had,

Where I lost the baby...

An abortion?

Yes

And since then you haven't been able to have full intercourse

with your... partner?

Yes... That's right.

You see, it's not the memory of the accident

or losing the baby that stops me...

It's the other thing...

The man armed with a knife?

Yes... That's right.

How am I meant to tell him that?

He would end up hating me!

I already make his life difficult as it is.

And I don't want to lose him.

I need to... I need to get better!

Are you scared of being in the dark?

No.

Tell me

have you ever felt as if your dreams were a reality?

Yes, just now in the waiting room...

There was a man.

One of your clients I believe.

He looked at me...

With the same eyes from my nightmare.

Are you quite sure?

He was sitting in the other room.

I don't want to contradict you Madam

but I don't let my patients wait together.

Come with me, please.

He was here, I'm sure!

He left...

Certainly Madam...

You saw him, right?

He was sitting here on this sofa...

He asked about you, but he wasn't one of your patients.

I told him to wait, but he must've left.

I apologise Madam, you were right.

Someone was here.

However, the fact that you were frightened

by this individual remains the same.

In our next meeting we need to understand why this happens.

When can I come back?

Barbara will arrange that for you Madam.

In the meantime stop taking

the vitamins your husband is prescribing.

Rest assured that you are not ill.

Solitude is your worst enemy.

I don't think that you're crazy or delusional...

Truly crazy people don't think they are crazy.

What do you want from me?

What do you want from me!

What do you want!

Allow me...

I'll open for you.

Thank you.

Please.

I live on the last floor. You?

I live on the third floor. Thank you.

I've only moved here a few days ago.

I'm Mary.

I'm Jane.

Nice to meet you.

I've only been here for three months

and I barely know anyone.

It's difficult to make friends in the city.

Us countryfolk still know how to be nosy.

Would you like some tea?

Tea for me is still a social practice.

I hate drinking it alone.

I don't know, maybe I shouldn't.

Are you waiting for someone?

You're kind to invite me.

But, I need to get dinner ready for my husband.

Very well, but it's early

It's only 5 o'clock...

Alright then, I'll have some tea.

Make yourself at home.

Don't wait there! Come on in!

You seemed frightened down by the door.

Am I right?

It's true...

Someone was following me!

I'm scared of the day when men will stop following me!

How did you know it was a man?

Strange men have always followed women.

Since the Stone Age.

Your place is lovely.

How did you decorate in so little time?

It was already like this!

I like already furnished flats

then I can just bring my own mess.

- Any more biscuits? - No thank you!

I must dash! I promised I'd make something

more interesting than spam.

Mary, why don't you come for dinner at ours?

God forbid!

I don't want to get in the way of two newlyweds.

Well then, tomorrow?

Richard is going away, and I'll be alone.

Shall we lunch together?

Of course!
