I watched THE TURN OF THE SCREW - BBC video borrowed from the library this morning....and immediately realised that this was another CRAZY COMPANY PRODUCTION and that almost every scene, set - had been carefully coded out. GILL appeared to have most say in what was going on...MARK R was controlling behind the scenes.

GILL decided to put in this French folksong - which the governess and MILES sing wrongly...that my siblings had learnt as children...off by heart...from my Swiss French grandmother...but with different words for example 'au pres de'...instead of 'au clair'...next to the MOON...



Remember - see previous notes - how I had really 'got at' DALDRY in PRAGUE 1995, for his French accent in relation to how the French pronounce the word for DEATH in relation to the word LOVE?

...no doubt that is something to do with why their talk about 'little death' and PETIT MORT in relation to ejaculation 'little death'...'the FRENCH language has screwed AN ENTIRE COUNTRY UP', says HENRY.

Put simply - the English tend to pronounce the French word for LOVE as in L'AMOUR as LA MORTE (death).


....listen to CHANSON D'AMOUR...to hear the correct pronunciation of L'AMOUR....it is a bit like a muted sound of the vowels of the surname MUIR as in LA MUIRRRR...

...and that is why i took the piss out of DALDRY in PRAGUE...to MALCOLM along the lines of 'daldry in bed with his lover':

"...and the BIG ONE turns over and whispers 'love' in French in your ear (according to his particular pronunciation of it)...you wake up with a start and freeze in horror" etc etc...

So listen to CHANSON D'AMOUR again...then watch this BBC DVD and learn how not to really scare French lovers...love and death should never ever be confused...in pronuniation.

The fact that BRITISH people were pronouncing this word as DEATH rather than LOVE points to the demonic...particular in this song about the MOON and PIERROT...

...and what GILL had intended which was 'the death of G-d'...in the context of THE TURN OF THE SCREW...
