Is it true, as Léo Ferré sang, that "with Time, everything goes"? What remains after its passage? Certainly, life is fragile, constantly threatened with annihilation: and through the poetry of ruins, it is already a fascinating spectacle. But history, like art, bears witness to a possible survival. This book shows how some artists have wanted to cross time, and find in the dust of the centuries the traces of heartbeats forever extinguished. Through the study of several cinematographic works, the work addresses the variable perception of time among great creators. In conclusion, the book evokes the figure of Virginia Woolf, a profound and sensitive meditation on the beauty and fragility of human life, at the same time as on the possible capacity of art to somehow remove death.
