First, it's a voice: look me in the eye. She is speaking to a gentle, wise, kind, therefore Japanese girl. She tells him about the role, the character, the love that she will study in her performance; interpretation whose most important characteristics are distance and passivity. It is he, the Jasmine Man that Unica Zürn, a surrealist poet, once named in her book in which she tells the story of her mental illness: schizophrenia. The more the actress becomes schizophrenic, the more the diegesis of the film she is playing progresses, and the more this progresses, the more this one becomes schizophrenic. Everything is fine. As a result, the cinematographic language is torn as the diegesis of the film progresses. By staying in the middle of the film, the wise girl managed to save herself from her fate: from death or ideological fixity, perhaps.
