Below is a note from the director, ‘Paolo Barzman ‘….
Life after Drancy
For those who survived the darkest hours of history, the question became: how does one “live†after such a traumatic experience and after learning the truth of the horrors that those who perished suffered? It is from this chaotic territory, where many contradictory dynamics co-exist – guilt, passion, depression, exhilarating enthusiasm – which Emotional Arithmetic wishes to embark.
THE LINK IS MEMORY
How does memory affect our capacity to live a happy life, to fulfil our desires? Is “remembering too much†an obstacle to a balanced life? Does memory blur our understanding of the present, paralyze our feelings, jeopardize our potential to love and immobilize future generations? Is forgetting a necessary step towards reinventing one’s existence, to re-conquering one’s innocence?
The focus on memory is a central theme in Matt Cohen’s book and is actually a provocative one: should we blindly accept memory?
