在莒哈絲死前，她曾寫過一段話，說她要寫一本叫做《等待消失的書》(Le Livre à Disparaître)的書。

 

如果把她的文字中的「書」改成「電影」的話，會是：「拍吧，不為任何東西。就這樣。為了在你想接近我的時候忘記我。因為你在模仿我可能拍過的東西，藉助你而起的東西，不僅僅是藉助你而拍的東西。相信我吧，人並不存在。存在的是電影。是電影。永遠是第一部電影。已經拍了或還沒拍完的電影，必須不斷地看了又看的電影。」此段話隱然是本片創作的潛在題旨。透過女人自述及男人旁白，以多層次的影像與敘事者視角的輪番轉換，重新詮釋莒哈絲作品中不斷形變的「記憶」主題。

此作品曾入圍2009台北電影獎劇情短片。

 

The film interweaves major events selected from Duras' works and presentes the following sequence: life, man, ocean, letters, writing and death. The narration shifts among three perspectives. With this tactic, the director strives to recapture “the elusive and ephemeral nature of memory” in Duras' works.

Duras once said she wants to write a book called “the Vanishing Book”.  If we change what she wrote about the "Book" to "Film", it will be like this : “Film it. Not for anything in particular.  Believe me, man doesn't exist. What exists is the film. It’s the film. Forever the first film, the one made or not finished, the one film that needs to be watched over and over.” This paragraph is actually the  starting point of The Vanishing Film.

This film got nominated by 2009 Taipei Film Festival, for Best Short fiction film nominated, Taipei, Taiwan.
