MR. Merde in Tokyo
The gibberish spewing violent creature known as "Mr Merde" brilliantly
played by D. Lavant is certainly one of the most interesting characters
to come out in the world of cinema since Gollum cursed those "fat little
hobitsis". An excerpt of Leos Carax
medium length film shows Lavant's mysterious figure, after being
arrested, while his extravagant lawyer/follower interrogates him. Given
that gibberish remains gibberish the audience as well as the Japanese
authorities need to trust Le MaƮtre Voland (J.F. Balmer) and his
interpretation. I highly recommend the segment as a whole but choose to
post this part as a tribute to acting in gibberish.
