“Nous Deux Encore” (translated as “The Two of Us Still” or “Together Again”) is a universal love story- one that crosses cultures, transcends time, and defies age. The idea of true love is something we all understand. We\u2019re either searching for it, holding onto it, or remembering it after it\u2019s gone.\u00a0<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

\u201cOne day I asked myself \u2013 \u2018If you could have known that all this was only for twelve years and that<\/em>
you would suffer what you have suffered, would you have done it or not?\u2019 \u201cThe answer was \u2018yes.\u2019<\/em>
It was twelve years so rich that I will never regret having gone through it.\u201d<\/em><\/p>

\u201cIt\u2019s a universal love story,\u201d says producer and director Heather Harlow of Nous Deux Encore, a 17-minute short film that \u201ccrosses every culture. It\u2019s timeless and ageless. And everyone can relate to love. It\u2019s what we all look for, and Maxie found it.\u201d<\/p>

The film is narrated by Maxie Leoussis on the eve of her 80th birthday, 22 years after the sudden death of her beloved husband, Yiannis. In spare, unscripted words she paints a compelling portrait of one couple\u2019s passion for life and for each other, captured visually through actual photographs from the extensive collection of images shot by Yiannis over the length
of their courtship and marriage.<\/p>

The story began in September 1971. French television journalist Maxie Barellis had finished editing a documentary special on drug trafficking in America and decided to fly to her favorite island in Greece, Mytileni, for a brief vacation. On her return the still single 42-year old stopped over in Athens. At a friend\u2019s party that evening, Maxie was just about to leave when Yiannis Leoussis stepped through the door, and froze at the sight of her. \u201cIt was like a brick had dropped on his head,\u201d she recounts in the film. \u201cI\u2019m thinking: I am living in a novel where one meets someone and he is completely smitten! This is incredible. Love at first sight really happens in life!\u201d<\/p>

He drove her home that night, and every night thereafter. At the end of two weeks they made love and by the following August they married. Maxie\u2019s colleagues were amazed. The dedicated career woman, in television since 1955, was leaving it all behind to join a Greek full time in Greece. She had been one of the most successful producers and on-air reporters in France, traveling extensively to conduct in-depth interviews with major news makers and celebrities. She gave it up because, \u201cI knew that Yiannis loved me. I knew that I loved him. But it was very tough to leave my career, because I had a real career. And not only that, I loved what I was doing. But I did not hesitate. I did it!\u201d<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t\t\t<\/section>\r\n\t\t\t\t\t

For the next 12 years, the Leoussis lived in the passion of the moment \u2013 spending their weekdays in Athens and weekends sailing off Ermioni, a small fishing village in the Peloponnese where they owned a house. Despite their differences, (\u201cOf course we argued! Many times! I used to say you could not find two more different people…\u201d) theirs was the love of true soul mates. But, as if he knew it couldn\u2019t last, Yiannis constantly recorded their life together. He took literally hundreds of snapshots with the Rolleicord twin-lens reflex camera he had received at the age of 12. \u201cYannis loved photography. He was always taking photos,\u201d Maxie recalls. \u201cHis camera had a self-timer, so he would set it to take pictures of us wherever we happened to be.\u201d<\/p>

Then, in February 1984, tragedy struck. Yiannis was rushed to a clinic with appendicitis. Inexplicably, the doctors chose not to operate and after three days he had developed peritonitis. Despite three operations he lapsed into a coma. For three weeks Maxie lived at the hospital always hoping but, \u201cSomehow, I knew he wasn\u2019t going to make it.\u201d The last day he was alive, she recalls, he made an enormous effort to raise his head and to gaze at her deeply. It was their last moment together. With Yiannis gone, Maxie was paralyzed with grief. \u201cIt was so tough. I just wanted to die. I would never commit suicide, but I wanted to die. I wanted just a miracle and I would be dead.<\/p>

But I was not dead, and I didn\u2019t want to stay in Athens like this, so I went back to work in TV.\u201d By April, she was back in Paris. For the next year, she worked on a major corporate film, just to stay busy. And at the end of it, she made the decision to leave television and filmmaking permanently. \u201cHere it was, 12 years later and he\u2019s dead and I\u2019m again doing what I was doing when I met him,\u201d she explains.\u201d I said, \u201cI cannot do it, because the most important thing of my life is the 12 years I spent with Yiannis. It was as though I was saying he never existed.\u201d<\/p>

Maxie returned to Athens, which continues to be home as she travels the world, visiting friends and assisting renowned multimedia artist, Andre Heller and famed opera singer, Jessye Norman. Even as a new widow, Maxie says there was never a moment of doubt in her mind that \u201cthis was my first and last marriage.\u201d She has never even dated since. \u201cI did not have to make any decision. Every time someone would ask, the \u2018no\u2019 would come out of my mouth. I could not. I live all the time with Yiannis, and you cannot go on a date bringing your husband with you!\u201d Yet, she says, she would never advise other widows to do the same. \u201cIt\u2019s tough and life is difficult alone. And, to be honest, I\u2019ve met men who are very interesting. But I could not. I could not be unfaithful,\u201d she says.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

THE MAKING OF THE FILM<\/p>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Brought onto the project by Tessa Papas, producer\/director Heather Harlow met Maxie in early 2008. Despite an almost four-decade age difference, they hit it off immediately. \u201cI just fell in love with Maxie the second I met her. She has such a vibrant energy about her that I knew I had a lot to learn,\u201d says Heather. \u201cShe has an incredible insight into love and life and happiness. It\u2019s as though she knows something that we don\u2019t know. She\u2019s figured it out.\u201d A year spent in France, as well as a several-week visit to Greece, allowed Heather to match Maxie\u2019s words with a visual tableau of both Yiannis\u2019 photographs and new footage shot by Jacob Pander, who recently won two prizes for his debut feature film, Selfless, at the BendFilm Festival. \u201cSo I understood where she lived and what they experienced, because I\u2019ve been there and seen the beauty of Greece. The story really appealed to me on many levels.\u201d<\/p>

Tessa Papas felt compelled to provide the funding and to find the right director because of \u201cthe familiarity of being in Greece in the 70\u2019s, of living the same sort of extemporaneous life, and of being such good friends with the Leoussis. Greece was such a special place at that time\u201d. The two couples frequently sailed together, dined together, drank together and on occasion, smashed plates together. \u201cThis little film resonates with me at so many levels; I\u2019ve always admired the courage with which Maxie somehow got through Yianni\u2019s death. And then some years later I experienced the same profound loss. \u201d In 2000 Bill, Tessa\u2019s husband of 30 years,
was killed in a small plane accident in Alaska. Today Maxie and Tessa find ways of seeing each other several times a year. Their friendship is enormously important to both. Maxie originally planned to turn the photographs and her memories into a book, but it never seemed to progress. Then a few years ago, a friend in television suggested a documentary accompanied by Maxie\u2019s own voice-over. The first time Maxie saw the preliminary CD of what has become Nous Deux Encore the impact of the images projected on a screen was far greater than she expected. \u201cI cried like a baby for hours,\u201d she says. \u201cFor me to be able to do this movie
with these photos, it\u2019s something so good, so tender so loving …… It\u2019s really a big achievement
for me. When you look at the film, you don\u2019t think of Yiannis as a dead man, do you?\u201d<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t\t\t<\/section>\r\n\t\t\t\t\t

\u201c...Heather Harlow\u2019s achingly beautiful short documentary, Nous Deux Encore, .. is about the 13-year marriage of Maxie and Yiannis, a sun-kissed couple who are irrevocably in love. They have thousands of pictures of their time together, caught with Yiannis\u2019 self-timed camera, before he unexpectedly died and left Maxie alone in 1984. It\u2019s 17 minutes of evocative, bittersweet perfection and a rousing start to POWFest [2010].\u201d<\/p><\/div>Courtney Ferguson<\/span>Portland Mercury<\/span><\/cite><\/blockquote><\/div>

\"It's not often that we are shown something that we want to believe in, but gave up on as the fancy of childhood.

\u201cDirector Heather Harlow allows us to feel the magic of true love. Pure, honest non-scripted passion comes through and plants itself right in the middle of your heart. I cried. I hugged my wife.

\u201cSweet and honestly sentimental remembrance of a deceased husband by his wife (him Greek, her French), told through voice over and the many snapshots left behind of their time together, most of them shot by her love and his small automatic camera they took everywhere with them. An effective and gentle lament for and homage to a soul she will be connected to forever.\u201d<\/p><\/div>Movie Forums<\/span> movieforums.com<\/span><\/cite><\/blockquote><\/div>

\u201cA former French television journalist takes us into the soul of one of the greatest love stories ever told, presented dramatically through timeless photographs shot by her late husband. The photography is wonderful, and the narration, not scripted, but the actual words spoken by Maxie during an interview, is deeply touching. I predict it will be widely seen in many film festivals this year. See it if you can. It is a stunning piece of work.\u201d<\/p><\/div>Imaginings<\/span>rfgainey.wordpress.com<\/span><\/cite><\/blockquote><\/div><\/div>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t\t\t<\/section>\r\n\t\t\t\t\t
