Fantasy vs. Reality

Fantasy vs. Reality

Fascinated by circus folk and fancy dress, Virginie Harel had always been inspired by festivals – the colours, the experimental, the people… the non-conformists.

Almost Famous - 'Tiny Dancer' - Elton John

William Miller: I have to go home.
Penny Lane: You are home.






Reservoir Dogs - 'Stuck in the Middle with You' - Stealers Wheel

Mr. Blonde: Listen kid, I'm not gonna bullshit you, all right? I don't give a good fuck what you know, or don't know, but I'm gonna torture you anyway, regardless. Not to get information. It's amusing, to me, to torture a cop. You can say anything you want cause I've heard it all before. All you can do is pray for a quick death, which you ain't gonna get.
[He removes his razor]
Mr. Blonde: You ever listen to K-Billy's 'Super Sounds of the Seventies' weekend? It's my personal favorite.






Romeo + Juliet - 'Kissing You' - Des'ree








The Graduate - 'Mrs.Robinson' - Simon and Garfunkel

Mr. Braddock: Ben, what are you doing?

Mr. Braddock: Why?
Benjamin: Well, it's very comfortable just to drift here.
Mr. Braddock: Have you thought about graduate school?
Benjamin: No.
Mr. Braddock: Would you mind telling me then what those four years of college were for? What was the point of all that hard work?
Benjamin: You got me.






Four Rooms - 'Vertigogo' - Combustible Edison








Desperado - 'El Mariachi' - Los Lobos

El Mariachi: You know, it's easier to pull the trigger than play guitar. Easier to destroy than to create.






Trainspotting - 'Perfect Day' - Lou Reed

Mark 'Rent-boy' Renton: I don't feel the sickness yet, but it's in the post. That's for sure. I'm in the junkie limbo at the moment. Too ill to sleep. Too tired to stay awake, but the sickness is on its way. Sweat, chills, nausea. Pain and craving. A need like nothing else I've ever known will soon take hold of me. It's on its way.






Donnie Darko - 'Killing Moon' - Echo & the Bunnymen

Donnie: [matter-of-factly] First of all, Papa Smurf didn't create Smurfette. Gargamel did. She was sent in as Gargamel's evil spy with the intention of destroying the Smurf village. But the overwhelming goodness of the Smurf way of life transformed her. And as for the whole gang-bang scenario -- It just couldn't happen. Smurfs are asexual. They don't even have reproductive organs under those little white pants. That's what's so illogical, you know, about being a Smurf. What's the point of living... if you don't have a dick?






Mullholland Drive - 'Llorando' - Rebekah del Rio

Bondar: No hay banda! There is no band! Il n'est pas de orquestra! This is all... a tape-recording. No hay banda! And yet we hear a band. If we want to hear a clarinette... listen.
Bondar: [the sounds responding to his every hand motion] Un trombon 'à coulisse'. Un trombon 'con sordina'. Sient le son du trombon in sourdine. Hear le son... and mute it... drop it. It's all recorded. No hay banda! It's all a tape. Il n'est pas de orquestra. It is... an illusion!

Gordie: Alright, alright, Mickey's a mouse, Donald's a duck, Pluto's a dog. What's Goofy?
Vern: If I could only have one food for the rest of my life? That's easy-Pez. Cherry-flavored Pez. No question about it.
Teddy: Goofy's a dog. He's definitely a dog.
Gordie: I knew the $64,000 question was fixed. There's no way anybody could know that much about opera!
Chris: He can't be a dog. He drives a car and wears a hat.
Gordie: Wagon Train's a really cool show, but did you notice they never get anywhere? They just keep wagon training.
Vern: Oh, God. That's weird. What the hell is Goofy?






Dazed and Confused - 'School’s Out' - Alice Cooper
