It represents one side of a conversation between a young woman (sung by American soprano, Julia Migenes) and her lover, who has jilted her. In a 1930s, Parisian apartment, a woman is seen making for the door. As she passes the telephone, it rings. From now on she sings, sitting, standing, on her knees, pacing up and down the room, pulling at the telephone cord, going through every emotion until ultimately, in despair, she takes her own life.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eJean Cocteau wrote, it is not just that the telephone is sometimes more dangerous than the revolver but that its tangled cord drains us of our strength, while giving us nothing in return. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e Julia Migenes\u003cbr\u003eOrchestre National De France\u003cbr\u003eConducted By Georges Prêtre\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eDirector Of Photography: Dominique Chapuis\u003cbr\u003eProduction Designer: Nicolas Dvigoubsky\u003cbr\u003eArt Director: Emmanuel De Chauvigny\u003cbr\u003eCostumes: Jean-Louis Sherrer\u003cbr\u003eRecorded By Radio France\u003cbr\u003eProducer: Pierre-Olivier Bardet\u003cbr\u003eDirector: Peter Madek\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCo-produced by Erato\/Radio France, with the support of Fondation Sacem and with the participation of Antenne 2, Westdeutscher Runkfunk and Centre National de la Cinématographie\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Books Prime","offers":[{"title":"Dvd, Multiple Formats, Classical, Color","offer_id":45913854640319,"sku":"3dfcdfb8-9a68-4bb1-9d94-8174ea77ec9f","price":42.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0761\/7550\/7647\/files\/a9e34af78902bd78884b0ffbd86c5dfc.jpg?v=1785052165","url":"https:\/\/books-prime.com\/products\/la-voix-humaine","provider":"Books Prime","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
