Napalm is the tale of the short romantic encounter between Claude Lanzmann and a young North Korean nurse in 1958. At the time, Lanzmann was a member of the first Western delegation visiting the country after the three-year bloody war. Fate made him find himself alone with a beautiful woman of the Red Cross, with whom he fell in love. The two of them share a romantic afternoon, talking only through drawings, since the only word they can both understand is “napalm”. But the communist party doesn’t allow them to carry on their love affair and, once they find out about their relationship, they are forced to part ways. It’s a strong, intense, and romantic tale, that had the potential of becoming a fascinating story (and it did, on paper). Continua la lettura di “Napalm” by Claude Lanzmann →
