Apparently, the magical function of the eye
was working against me there.
:32:05
It was in the marketplaces of Bissau and Cape Verde
that I could stare at them again with equality.
:32:09
And this continuation of figures,
so close to the ritual of the seduction.
:32:12
I see her,
:32:15
she saw me,
:32:17
she knows that I see her,
:32:21
she drops me her glance, but just at an angle where it is still possible to act
as though it was not addressed to me,
:32:28
and at the end the real glance,
:32:29
straightforward,
:32:31
that lasted a twenty-fourth of a second,
the length of a film frame.
:32:41
All women have a built-in grain of indestructibility.
:32:44
And men's task has always been to make them
realize it as late as possible.
:32:48
African men are just as good at this task as others.
:32:52
But after a close look at African women,
I wouldn't necessarily bet on the men.
