Gabriel Blackwell - Madeleine E.

…

Judy screams when Elster tosses Madeleine’s body off the tower. Madeleine, dead, makes no sound at all. The policeman screams. Judy screams, but she may only scream at the sight of the nun, not on her way down (the camera angle prevents us from knowing). Whatever is going through their minds as they fall, they have no words for it.

…

Not a look of triumph, but not one of remorse, either. Awe.

…

When a man falls over a cliff, he almost certainly smiles before he hits the ground, because that’s what his own demon tells him to do.

(Ossip Zadkine)
