1
00:00:45,921 --> 00:00:47,833
(tense buzzing)

2
00:00:51,802 --> 00:00:53,885
(gasping, rattling)

3
00:00:54,638 --> 00:00:57,426
(relaxed double bass music
sets in)

4
00:01:13,282 --> 00:01:15,194
(upbeat jazz music)

5
00:01:42,853 --> 00:01:44,765
(more rattling)

6
00:01:57,159 --> 00:01:59,151
(jazz music fades away)

7
00:02:00,996 --> 00:02:03,283
(suspenseful music)

8
00:02:07,461 --> 00:02:09,703
(she gasps)

9
00:02:45,165 --> 00:02:47,031
(knock)

10
00:02:54,841 --> 00:02:56,753
(exciting jazz music)

11
00:03:00,263 --> 00:03:01,595
(knock)

12
00:03:01,765 --> 00:03:04,473
(Policeman) Open the door.
Otherwise we'll break it up.

13
00:03:04,726 --> 00:03:06,638
(knock)

14
00:03:14,277 --> 00:03:16,189
(knock)

15
00:03:22,869 --> 00:03:24,610
Good morning, Miss Münter.

16
00:03:25,497 --> 00:03:27,113
What do you want?

17
00:03:27,290 --> 00:03:30,704
Hunter, Reich Art Chamber.
Bavarian state management.

18
00:03:38,677 --> 00:03:40,634
(crow caws)

19
00:03:40,804 --> 00:03:45,265
It was brought to my attention that you
harbor degenerate art.

20
00:03:47,185 --> 00:03:50,929
Works that go against the healthy
violated German popular sentiment.

21
00:03:51,064 --> 00:03:53,772
(Münter) Here are just my pictures.

22
00:03:53,900 --> 00:03:55,641
Pictures of this Bolshevik.

23
00:03:57,154 --> 00:03:58,611
Kandinsky.

24
00:03:59,156 --> 00:04:02,900
I have one from Kandinsky
Haven't heard anything for 20 years.

25
00:04:03,076 --> 00:04:04,988
(distant clinking)

26
00:04:10,083 --> 00:04:13,201
Don't fool me,
Miss Münter.

27
00:04:21,344 --> 00:04:25,429
They were there for years
the lover of this enemy of the people.

28
00:04:30,020 --> 00:04:31,932
A blood traitor.

29
00:04:32,606 --> 00:04:34,017
No.

30
00:04:34,649 --> 00:04:36,060
That's not true.

31
00:04:43,033 --> 00:04:45,275
Is this supposed to represent your father?

32
00:04:45,869 --> 00:04:47,656
(Münter) My older brother.

33
00:04:48,914 --> 00:04:51,372
Mr. Hunter?
Would you please come upstairs?

34
00:04:51,500 --> 00:04:52,957
Mmm.

35
00:05:16,191 --> 00:05:17,648
Mmm.

36
00:05:18,276 --> 00:05:20,188
(he sighs emphatically)

37
00:05:23,573 --> 00:05:25,485
Everything conforms to the Reich.

38
00:05:30,038 --> 00:05:31,779
And really from you?

39
00:05:32,457 --> 00:05:34,915
(Münter) You are the expert.

40
00:05:38,255 --> 00:05:39,837
Is there a cellar?

41
00:06:00,235 --> 00:06:01,771
And the? Are they also from you?

42
00:06:13,081 --> 00:06:14,538
This is horrible.

43
00:06:20,714 --> 00:06:22,330
1908.

44
00:06:22,591 --> 00:06:26,255
The Bolshevik has that
already lived here with you? Hm?

45
00:06:27,304 --> 00:06:31,014
“Russian House” have it
the Murnauers were baptized. Correct?

46
00:06:33,184 --> 00:06:35,426
I'll take that with me, Miss Münter.

47
00:06:38,815 --> 00:06:40,977
You know,
what the leader said.

48
00:06:42,527 --> 00:06:44,189
Works that are not understood

49
00:06:44,362 --> 00:06:47,651
and for whom one is a gay woman
Instructions for use are needed,

50
00:06:47,782 --> 00:06:50,866
they will pave the way to the German people
can't find it anymore.

51
00:07:05,800 --> 00:07:07,712
(eerie smoldering)

52
00:07:18,438 --> 00:07:20,350
(she breathes shaky)

53
00:07:31,826 --> 00:07:36,366
You confirm the donation
Painting to the Reichskunstkammer.

54
00:07:37,082 --> 00:07:38,823
Heil Hitler.

55
00:07:39,000 --> 00:07:40,912
(car doors slam)

56
00:07:42,587 --> 00:07:44,499
(engine starts)

57
00:07:57,185 --> 00:08:00,303
Someday I'll catch you
you Russian whore.

58
00:08:07,862 --> 00:08:10,980
(melancholic piano music
sets in)

59
00:08:11,157 --> 00:08:13,069
(she sighs)

60
00:08:16,246 --> 00:08:17,578
Vasily.

61
00:08:18,206 --> 00:08:21,199
That I am again
risk my life for you.

62
00:08:22,502 --> 00:08:24,368
You don't deserve this.

63
00:08:32,721 --> 00:08:34,633
Not in the slightest.

64
00:08:52,949 --> 00:08:55,441
(Emmy) Mississippi, Arkansas,
Texas, New York.

65
00:08:56,036 --> 00:08:59,700
Two wonderful years on the trail
from mother and father.

66
00:09:00,874 --> 00:09:02,957
What's wrong with you?
favorite, Ella?

67
00:09:03,543 --> 00:09:07,287
Freedom and self-determination
American women.

68
00:09:07,422 --> 00:09:09,664
That they are recognized
like you men.

69
00:09:09,841 --> 00:09:13,175
That they can go to work
without you looking at them askance.

70
00:09:13,386 --> 00:09:16,800
That they are respected for what
what they do with passion.

71
00:09:16,973 --> 00:09:19,215
And what is your passion?

72
00:09:21,102 --> 00:09:22,559
Art.

73
00:09:23,229 --> 00:09:27,223
Women artists become artists in Germany
unfortunately divided into two categories.

74
00:09:27,484 --> 00:09:30,147
Into those who are married
want, and those,

75
00:09:30,320 --> 00:09:32,107
who have no talent.

76
00:09:32,280 --> 00:09:34,272
(she sips and sighs refreshed)

77
00:09:34,449 --> 00:09:36,816
The ladies. See you.

78
00:09:41,581 --> 00:09:43,038
Oh, Ellalein.

79
00:09:44,375 --> 00:09:45,786
That will never happen.

80
00:09:45,960 --> 00:09:48,043
Find a man
who respects you,

81
00:09:48,213 --> 00:09:50,125
and he pays for your art studies.

82
00:09:50,298 --> 00:09:54,508
Oh, Emmy, when you're away from one forever
If you want to make a man dependent, please.

83
00:09:54,677 --> 00:09:55,838
You're dreaming.

84
00:09:56,096 --> 00:09:59,680
Public schools are for us
inaccessible. Private ones cost a lot.

85
00:10:00,266 --> 00:10:02,724
Yes, but we have money.

86
00:10:03,311 --> 00:10:07,225
The private ones cost five times as much.
Father's inheritance wouldn't be enough either.

87
00:10:11,611 --> 00:10:13,523
We'll see about that.

88
00:10:14,614 --> 00:10:16,697
(relaxed jazz music)

89
00:10:16,950 --> 00:10:18,407
Oops.

90
00:10:44,769 --> 00:10:47,056
(Münter) <i>Dear Emmy, dear brother-in-law.</i>

91
00:10:47,313 --> 00:10:51,728
<i>I'm in Munich at the private school</i>
<i>School of the Artists' Association.</i>

92
00:10:51,860 --> 00:10:53,192
<i>And to be honest,</i>

93
00:10:53,444 --> 00:10:55,606
<i>it's wasted money.</i>

94
00:11:02,620 --> 00:11:04,202
(Professor) Aha.

95
00:11:13,047 --> 00:11:14,458
Oh.

96
00:11:23,516 --> 00:11:28,181
(quietly) As listless as he struts,
he just wants to get away from the women's school.

97
00:11:34,569 --> 00:11:36,481
Miss Münter, that's good.

98
00:11:37,155 --> 00:11:39,397
They come to my technique
already quite close.

99
00:11:39,657 --> 00:11:41,273
You capture the line,

100
00:11:41,451 --> 00:11:46,242
They characterize the typical
in outline, let the contour take effect

101
00:11:46,414 --> 00:11:50,374
and you hardly enliven the area
with hatching or internal drawing.

102
00:11:50,501 --> 00:11:51,958
Yes.

103
00:11:52,128 --> 00:11:53,585
Thank you, Professor.

104
00:11:53,755 --> 00:11:56,338
But I see myself
far from your art.

105
00:11:56,507 --> 00:11:58,089
They awaken the static,

106
00:11:58,259 --> 00:12:00,797
the classically tamed to life,
and I...

107
00:12:01,054 --> 00:12:04,297
You prefer the spontaneous,
the anecdotal.

108
00:12:05,058 --> 00:12:08,893
But here in this course we teach
a different approach.

109
00:12:09,020 --> 00:12:12,309
I'm probably missing that
the artistic vision.

110
00:12:12,482 --> 00:12:16,066
You probably have to do that with someone else
Find out about the professor.

111
00:12:16,236 --> 00:12:19,445
I'll switch soon
to the Royal School of Applied Arts.

112
00:12:19,614 --> 00:12:21,901
I focus
on ornamental drawing.

113
00:12:25,119 --> 00:12:26,576
(quietly) I said so.

114
00:12:29,791 --> 00:12:32,625
(Münter) <i>It's like</i>
<i>at the Düsseldorf Drawing School.</i>

115
00:12:32,794 --> 00:12:36,788
<i>A limited offer, none</i>
<i>Masterclasses. How do you move forward?</i>

116
00:12:36,965 --> 00:12:38,376
(knock)

117
00:12:38,549 --> 00:12:40,461
- Nobody there!
- (Susala laughs)

118
00:12:41,261 --> 00:12:44,174
- (Susala) It's me, Ella. Open up.
- Let me.

119
00:12:44,347 --> 00:12:47,340
I have a headache
and don't want anything in the world.

120
00:12:47,517 --> 00:12:49,008
Oh, come on.

121
00:12:49,769 --> 00:12:51,226
Stop nagging.

122
00:12:51,396 --> 00:12:54,889
We're going around the houses today
and make Schwabing unsafe.

123
00:12:55,775 --> 00:12:58,813
- Oh, howdy.
- Good day.

124
00:12:59,946 --> 00:13:01,733
(Susala) Ella.

125
00:13:01,864 --> 00:13:05,983
Come on, have fun with life again,
you miserable weeping willow.

126
00:13:07,203 --> 00:13:08,819
What did you say?

127
00:13:09,455 --> 00:13:11,538
Wretched weeping willow?

128
00:13:11,666 --> 00:13:13,248
I'll show you.

129
00:13:18,006 --> 00:13:20,464
(upbeat jazz music)

130
00:13:23,219 --> 00:13:27,179
Munich, the city of women.
Apparently just as tolerant as Paris.

131
00:13:27,348 --> 00:13:30,887
Why is this only in art?
haven't arrived yet?

132
00:13:32,270 --> 00:13:33,431
Ella!

133
00:13:34,480 --> 00:13:36,938
One tolerates
handicraft and drawing teachers,

134
00:13:37,108 --> 00:13:39,225
Photographers and bookbinders.

135
00:13:39,402 --> 00:13:41,894
But the freelance artist,
it remains suspect.

136
00:13:42,071 --> 00:13:43,778
This is such a mess.

137
00:13:43,948 --> 00:13:47,737
(Bavarian) Be happy, before 100
It's been years for these young ladies

138
00:13:47,994 --> 00:13:50,327
no learning to miss sewing and knitting.

139
00:13:50,496 --> 00:13:54,080
The machines do that now.
And you're sitting nicely in the beer garden.

140
00:13:54,334 --> 00:13:57,293
But you know it's worth it
and throw myself into art.

141
00:13:57,420 --> 00:13:59,002
That's good.

142
00:13:59,172 --> 00:14:01,334
Even you went
into applied arts.

143
00:14:01,966 --> 00:14:05,175
So I can at one
study state art school.

144
00:14:05,303 --> 00:14:08,967
(Guest) 90 percent of you are waiting
but wait for a Mo to show up

145
00:14:09,182 --> 00:14:10,889
and freed me from my yoke.

146
00:14:11,059 --> 00:14:14,848
The remaining ten percent
squatting completely pointless umanand.

147
00:14:16,481 --> 00:14:18,973
- Eh. You don't trust anything.
- Time to go.

148
00:14:22,820 --> 00:14:24,732
(they laugh)

149
00:14:25,448 --> 00:14:27,360
(upbeat jazz music continues)

150
00:14:27,533 --> 00:14:28,865
(applause)

151
00:14:29,494 --> 00:14:30,860
Mesdames and Messieurs,

152
00:14:31,120 --> 00:14:35,330
Here come “The Eleven Executioners”.

153
00:14:35,500 --> 00:14:38,083
(pompous music)

154
00:14:40,088 --> 00:14:41,920
Uh, two beers, please.

155
00:14:44,258 --> 00:14:49,094
<i>The black block stands out</i>

156
00:14:49,222 --> 00:14:53,216
<i>We judge sharply and cordially</i>

157
00:14:53,393 --> 00:14:55,760
<i>Blood-red heart</i>

158
00:14:55,937 --> 00:14:58,054
<i>Blood red skirt</i>

159
00:14:58,231 --> 00:15:02,851
<i>All our pleasure is painful</i>

160
00:15:03,111 --> 00:15:06,946
<i>Whoever is enemies with the day...</i>

161
00:15:07,115 --> 00:15:09,778
The one in the middle
is executioner Frigidus Strang.

162
00:15:09,951 --> 00:15:13,490
He is a lawyer. He gave me the contact
made with Ernst Neumann.

163
00:15:13,621 --> 00:15:16,534
Thanks.
Who was that again?

164
00:15:16,666 --> 00:15:19,409
- I took his woodcutting course.
- Ah yes.

165
00:15:20,086 --> 00:15:23,625
(Münter) The second from the right,
Executioner Kaspar Beil.

166
00:15:24,507 --> 00:15:26,294
He helped design the poster.

167
00:15:26,426 --> 00:15:28,759
(Susala) Reminds me of
the “Simplicissimus”.

168
00:15:28,928 --> 00:15:31,136
Then they came up with the idea
with the cabaret.

169
00:15:31,347 --> 00:15:34,590
- (Susala) Oh, right. Cheers.
- (Münter) Cheers.

170
00:15:45,278 --> 00:15:46,485
(Viewer 1) Bravo!

171
00:15:46,737 --> 00:15:48,148
(Münter) Bravo!

172
00:15:51,451 --> 00:15:53,408
- Miss Münter.
- Mr. Neumann.

173
00:15:53,578 --> 00:15:55,285
Nice to see you here.

174
00:15:55,455 --> 00:15:58,243
-Oh. Good day. Susala.
- Good day.

175
00:15:58,958 --> 00:16:02,747
- How are you progressing with art?
- Bad. I'm not making any progress at all.

176
00:16:03,004 --> 00:16:05,337
Walk into the menagerie.

177
00:16:06,174 --> 00:16:08,507
My last professor
thought I was talented

178
00:16:08,676 --> 00:16:10,212
but immediately complained,

179
00:16:10,386 --> 00:16:13,094
when I have a spontaneous moment
held on.

180
00:16:13,306 --> 00:16:15,013
Wow, always the old story.

181
00:16:15,141 --> 00:16:18,725
He demands the cool, sterile
Replica of an object in lines.

182
00:16:18,895 --> 00:16:21,808
- Yes.
- Have you heard of the Phalanx?

183
00:16:22,440 --> 00:16:25,854
What is that supposed to be? An ancient one
Battle formation with complete idiots?

184
00:16:26,068 --> 00:16:28,151
Such nonsense, Miss Münter.

185
00:16:28,321 --> 00:16:30,859
Is an association
of artists and painters.

186
00:16:31,032 --> 00:16:32,489
And female painters.

187
00:16:33,284 --> 00:16:35,150
Some executioners are there.

188
00:16:35,411 --> 00:16:38,995
Among so many talentless people
Then maybe I won't be noticed.

189
00:16:39,165 --> 00:16:40,747
Sh. Be quiet.

190
00:16:41,000 --> 00:16:44,835
But you want big things
achieve in art...

191
00:16:45,838 --> 00:16:49,923
you can earn money
don't compare it with wages.

192
00:16:50,176 --> 00:16:51,462
(Guest 1) That's exactly how it is.

193
00:16:51,636 --> 00:16:53,878
- (Guest) Bravo!
- (Guest 2) Here's to the arts!

194
00:16:54,138 --> 00:16:55,174
(Guest) Bravo!

195
00:16:58,392 --> 00:17:00,304
(they laugh)

196
00:17:03,314 --> 00:17:04,771
Good evening.

197
00:17:09,862 --> 00:17:11,774
(relaxed jazz music)

198
00:17:17,912 --> 00:17:20,529
- Good morning, Professor.
- Good morning.

199
00:17:24,502 --> 00:17:26,414
(music fades away)

200
00:17:39,058 --> 00:17:41,266
I thought
We're learning life drawing here.

201
00:17:41,435 --> 00:17:42,846
This is the modeling course.

202
00:17:43,062 --> 00:17:45,930
- Life drawing is in the evening act.
- Evening act?

203
00:17:46,107 --> 00:17:47,894
- With the Russian.
- Which Russian?

204
00:17:48,025 --> 00:17:51,234
- Well, Kandinsky.
- Kandinsky. Never heard of it.

205
00:17:51,404 --> 00:17:54,568
- And women are really allowed there?
- Yes, logical.

206
00:17:55,157 --> 00:17:57,570
I don't mind here
in the Philistine Academy.

207
00:17:57,702 --> 00:18:01,070
Here you can also take a look at the girls
throw at Adam's pole.

208
00:18:02,999 --> 00:18:06,788
She can't wait to look at it
our Bavarian splendor z'werfn.

209
00:18:06,961 --> 00:18:10,204
- (Professor) Ladies and gentlemen.
- (Students) Hello.

210
00:18:11,382 --> 00:18:13,294
(ticking)

211
00:18:28,441 --> 00:18:29,898
(sighing) Crap.

212
00:18:48,377 --> 00:18:52,246
(in Russian accent) Too late.
Go and close the door.

213
00:18:55,092 --> 00:18:58,085
Didn't you understand me?
or are you...

214
00:19:00,431 --> 00:19:02,343
I'm sorry, I...

215
00:19:02,516 --> 00:19:04,428
I fell asleep.

216
00:19:05,978 --> 00:19:08,095
I really want to
stay with you.

217
00:19:08,856 --> 00:19:10,768
(laughter)

218
00:19:11,692 --> 00:19:15,686
Now, be sure to come to me straight away
Can stay, I don't know.

219
00:19:15,821 --> 00:19:19,314
But you are welcome to take the course
participate. Otto, please help.

220
00:19:19,492 --> 00:19:22,030
- (Otto) Yes, sir.
- (Student 1) Professor?

221
00:19:22,203 --> 00:19:25,116
How can I
emphasize this body contour here?

222
00:19:26,165 --> 00:19:28,157
All right, let's see.

223
00:19:28,334 --> 00:19:31,042
Don't leave it alone
simply with the border.

224
00:19:31,629 --> 00:19:35,293
Lift specific areas
through stronger lines.

225
00:19:35,424 --> 00:19:38,007
Try to grasp that,

226
00:19:38,177 --> 00:19:40,089
what lies beneath the skin.

227
00:19:40,763 --> 00:19:43,972
Individual muscle groups,
their structure and...

228
00:19:52,400 --> 00:19:54,517
(playful piano music begins)

229
00:20:04,412 --> 00:20:06,620
(she sighs)
Such crap.

230
00:20:10,626 --> 00:20:13,539
- May I help you?
- No. I'll manage.

231
00:20:24,140 --> 00:20:26,052
(melancholy jazz music)

232
00:20:28,728 --> 00:20:30,139
Good morning.

233
00:20:30,938 --> 00:20:32,270
(Münter) Good morning.

234
00:20:32,440 --> 00:20:34,352
- (clinking)
-Oh.

235
00:20:35,234 --> 00:20:37,396
Good morning, Miss Münter.

236
00:20:38,112 --> 00:20:39,569
Thanks.

237
00:20:41,490 --> 00:20:44,028
Yes, not,
that I'm late again.

238
00:20:48,330 --> 00:20:49,741
Morning.

239
00:20:52,460 --> 00:20:54,326
(short whistle)

240
00:20:54,462 --> 00:20:57,751
Good morning,
ladies, gentlemen.

241
00:20:57,923 --> 00:21:00,290
Since you all in the past few weeks

242
00:21:00,468 --> 00:21:03,211
an excellent job
have accomplished,

243
00:21:03,345 --> 00:21:07,680
I would like to take a trip with you
go to Kochel am See.

244
00:21:08,267 --> 00:21:13,058
Look forward to a summer course
"Outdoor landscape painting".

245
00:21:14,106 --> 00:21:16,018
(playful jazz music)

246
00:21:28,245 --> 00:21:30,578
Stand somewhere

247
00:21:30,748 --> 00:21:33,035
and paint the landscape,

248
00:21:33,626 --> 00:21:35,959
that's how it will be
made for centuries.

249
00:21:36,837 --> 00:21:40,126
I'm telling you
separate yourself from the subject.

250
00:21:41,342 --> 00:21:44,460
Let nature, the sky,

251
00:21:44,720 --> 00:21:47,428
but especially the colors
affect you.

252
00:21:47,598 --> 00:21:50,636
Everyone should
reinvent your own world.

253
00:21:51,894 --> 00:21:53,010
(whistle)

254
00:21:53,187 --> 00:21:55,395
Ferdinand, please hold on.

255
00:21:58,692 --> 00:22:00,558
I want...

256
00:22:01,654 --> 00:22:03,395
that you are here...

257
00:22:04,240 --> 00:22:05,981
and now paint.

258
00:22:06,784 --> 00:22:09,948
The way you experience nature.

259
00:22:11,038 --> 00:22:13,701
The way you feel them.

260
00:22:17,586 --> 00:22:19,498
And remember:

261
00:22:21,090 --> 00:22:22,501
no limits.

262
00:22:26,929 --> 00:22:28,340
Thanks.

263
00:22:29,139 --> 00:22:31,051
(whistle)

264
00:22:32,476 --> 00:22:34,843
And we'll see you later at the inn.

265
00:22:55,457 --> 00:22:59,792
- The clouds look like cotton wool.
- It's not easy, I think too.

266
00:22:59,962 --> 00:23:02,830
- Yeah, yeah, it's okay.
- But you have the mountains for that.

267
00:23:06,010 --> 00:23:08,218
And you, Ella, still working hard?

268
00:23:20,441 --> 00:23:22,023
(she starts up)

269
00:23:22,192 --> 00:23:23,649
Ooh.

270
00:23:37,333 --> 00:23:40,667
(Kandinsky) Do you actually know
what does that mean for me?

271
00:23:40,920 --> 00:23:43,754
That I have someone like you
got to know?

272
00:23:44,340 --> 00:23:48,254
Yes. One more languishing woman
in your class.

273
00:23:50,262 --> 00:23:53,881
Oh, Ella.
Can't you even be serious?

274
00:23:54,058 --> 00:23:56,050
Even if you
you're a few years younger.

275
00:23:56,226 --> 00:23:59,344
A couple? Eleven to be exact
Professor.

276
00:23:59,605 --> 00:24:03,144
No. I already have that for you
said. Please call me Wassily.

277
00:24:03,317 --> 00:24:05,309
Okay, Professor Wassily.

278
00:24:07,071 --> 00:24:10,985
Don't you realize that you
you are much more to me than...

279
00:24:11,158 --> 00:24:13,241
than just an ordinary student?

280
00:24:13,911 --> 00:24:16,449
Hmm. And what exactly?

281
00:24:16,580 --> 00:24:19,197
Your private amusement or...

282
00:24:19,375 --> 00:24:23,244
the complement to the deep seriousness of yours
unfathomable Russian soul?

283
00:24:28,008 --> 00:24:31,547
So you want to tell me
you don't feel

284
00:24:31,720 --> 00:24:34,087
the soulmate
between us?

285
00:24:34,223 --> 00:24:36,636
- Hmm?
- Hmm...

286
00:24:36,809 --> 00:24:38,721
After such a short time?

287
00:24:38,894 --> 00:24:41,762
Yes. After such a short time.

288
00:24:42,648 --> 00:24:45,766
No, we have both
completely different souls.

289
00:24:45,901 --> 00:24:47,813
You're a Russian philanderer

290
00:24:47,945 --> 00:24:50,062
and me
an adventurous German.

291
00:24:50,239 --> 00:24:54,233
And we're not related either.
I think I would have noticed.

292
00:24:54,410 --> 00:24:57,118
You know, Ella, true artists,

293
00:24:57,287 --> 00:25:00,997
they come with theirs
own soul dream to the world.

294
00:25:01,583 --> 00:25:04,997
you bring
express their inner world.

295
00:25:05,254 --> 00:25:06,665
This...

296
00:25:06,839 --> 00:25:09,673
but I can't manage
not like you.

297
00:25:12,386 --> 00:25:13,877
I...

298
00:25:14,054 --> 00:25:17,218
I just paint this
what fascinates me at the moment.

299
00:25:17,391 --> 00:25:20,600
Without spending too much time about colors
and thinking about composition.

300
00:25:21,937 --> 00:25:23,348
Yes.

301
00:25:24,231 --> 00:25:26,143
Yes I understand.

302
00:25:26,316 --> 00:25:29,150
Endless sensory impressions

303
00:25:29,319 --> 00:25:30,776
spontaneous...

304
00:25:31,488 --> 00:25:33,150
capture on the canvas.

305
00:25:37,619 --> 00:25:39,030
Yes.

306
00:25:40,039 --> 00:25:43,658
Come on, let's go swimming.
Completely spontaneous.

307
00:25:43,834 --> 00:25:45,291
Come!

308
00:25:47,296 --> 00:25:50,004
(soft music)

309
00:25:57,306 --> 00:25:58,672
(she moans)

310
00:26:10,319 --> 00:26:12,527
(ominous music)

311
00:26:15,616 --> 00:26:17,653
- (Münter) It's wonderful.
- (neigh)

312
00:26:17,826 --> 00:26:19,738
Come on, come on in.

313
00:26:20,621 --> 00:26:22,032
I, uh...

314
00:26:22,206 --> 00:26:24,368
I'm not a friend
of deep water.

315
00:26:24,500 --> 00:26:25,957
Ah yes?

316
00:26:26,543 --> 00:26:28,000
- Yes.
- Well then...

317
00:26:30,547 --> 00:26:31,537
Oh, Ella.

318
00:26:41,141 --> 00:26:42,677
(Münter) Oh.

319
00:26:46,230 --> 00:26:48,096
(dull noise)

320
00:26:48,357 --> 00:26:50,098
(children's screams)

321
00:26:50,359 --> 00:26:52,271
(neigh)

322
00:26:53,237 --> 00:26:56,150
(Kandinsky Senior, Russian)

323
00:26:56,824 --> 00:26:58,656
(Mother Kandinsky, Russian)

324
00:27:25,435 --> 00:27:27,848
(Kandinsky senior)

325
00:27:39,074 --> 00:27:42,238
(Russian)

326
00:27:52,921 --> 00:27:55,288
(ominous music)

327
00:28:00,429 --> 00:28:02,341
(Münter) What's going on?

328
00:28:04,558 --> 00:28:06,174
Because of you...

329
00:28:06,351 --> 00:28:08,934
I can now
only vague outlines can be seen.

330
00:28:09,521 --> 00:28:11,854
Oh. But I'm sorry about that.

331
00:28:12,482 --> 00:28:15,065
It doesn't have to be,
you little swimming vixen.

332
00:28:42,888 --> 00:28:44,299
Thank you very much.

333
00:29:00,781 --> 00:29:02,693
(calm jazz music)

334
00:30:09,016 --> 00:30:10,928
(quiet jazz music continues)

335
00:30:31,288 --> 00:30:34,497
Do you actually do that?
always like that with your students?

336
00:30:36,209 --> 00:30:37,620
No, Ella.

337
00:30:39,296 --> 00:30:40,332
But...

338
00:30:41,548 --> 00:30:45,383
it should still be ours
remain a little secret, for now.

339
00:30:45,635 --> 00:30:47,001
Our secret?

340
00:30:47,220 --> 00:30:48,927
Yes.

341
00:30:49,097 --> 00:30:51,430
My wife is on her way here.

342
00:30:52,392 --> 00:30:53,849
What? You...

343
00:30:54,019 --> 00:30:55,851
Are you married?

344
00:30:57,981 --> 00:31:00,394
Yes. For ten years.

345
00:31:00,567 --> 00:31:02,854
But it's not what you think.

346
00:31:03,028 --> 00:31:05,486
What is that?
for a stupid statement?

347
00:31:10,786 --> 00:31:12,277
My little elk.

348
00:31:12,537 --> 00:31:15,154
You will now
maybe don't understand

349
00:31:15,332 --> 00:31:17,540
but my wife and I,

350
00:31:17,709 --> 00:31:19,951
we have known each other since childhood.

351
00:31:21,088 --> 00:31:23,171
And I respect Anja,

352
00:31:23,340 --> 00:31:25,832
but between us
there is no passion.

353
00:31:26,009 --> 00:31:28,342
And it actually never existed.

354
00:31:28,970 --> 00:31:31,132
If that is the case,
break up with her.

355
00:31:32,808 --> 00:31:34,674
Yes, that is, um...

356
00:31:34,851 --> 00:31:36,763
It's not that easy.

357
00:31:37,896 --> 00:31:41,435
She sacrificed everything for me,
what she loves, Russia,

358
00:31:41,608 --> 00:31:43,691
her family, her friends,

359
00:31:43,902 --> 00:31:47,020
to have a new life with me
to start in Germany.

360
00:31:47,197 --> 00:31:49,109
And that's why...

361
00:31:52,911 --> 00:31:55,904
That's why I would like to ask you,
to leave tomorrow.

362
00:32:03,046 --> 00:32:04,457
My little elk...

363
00:32:05,382 --> 00:32:06,839
Leave it.

364
00:32:15,308 --> 00:32:18,597
(Emmy) That was foreseeable.
Artist and married too?

365
00:32:18,854 --> 00:32:20,516
What did you expect?

366
00:32:20,772 --> 00:32:23,560
Emmy,
Now don't add fuel to the fire.

367
00:32:23,817 --> 00:32:25,479
Ella is already sad enough.

368
00:32:27,154 --> 00:32:29,487
I always have them
warned against such a life.

369
00:32:29,656 --> 00:32:31,147
Because yours is much better?

370
00:32:31,324 --> 00:32:34,112
With a bourgeois family
play cards,

371
00:32:34,286 --> 00:32:36,448
and embroider pillows,
that nobody needs?

372
00:32:36,580 --> 00:32:38,867
No, thank you, I'd rather suffer.

373
00:32:39,124 --> 00:32:42,913
But as a refuge for yours
Escapades are we just good enough?

374
00:32:44,504 --> 00:32:46,336
Isn't that right, Ella?

375
00:32:47,174 --> 00:32:49,291
What are you actually imagining?

376
00:32:51,720 --> 00:32:53,177
Excuse me.

377
00:32:54,181 --> 00:32:56,389
I didn't mean to offend you.

378
00:32:58,894 --> 00:33:01,307
I'm going back to Munich tomorrow.

379
00:33:01,480 --> 00:33:03,472
The winter semester begins.

380
00:33:05,567 --> 00:33:07,479
(melancholy music)

381
00:33:31,051 --> 00:33:35,421
(Mrs. Mayr) Here is the key.
All the way forward and then right.

382
00:33:35,680 --> 00:33:37,512
- Thank you, Ms. Mayr.
- Please.

383
00:33:38,183 --> 00:33:40,721
Oh, here comes the little one.

384
00:33:43,939 --> 00:33:47,353
- Hello. Good evening, Miss Münter.
- Good evening, Ms. Mayr.

385
00:33:47,526 --> 00:33:49,939
They are all of them
from a persistent admirer.

386
00:33:50,195 --> 00:33:51,652
Mail comes every day.

387
00:33:51,780 --> 00:33:54,272
Once a letter, once a card.

388
00:33:55,116 --> 00:33:57,028
- Please.
- Thank you very much.

389
00:33:58,787 --> 00:34:02,781
(Kandinsky) <i>When you're not there,</i>
<i>this is how I speak to you in my mind.</i>

390
00:34:02,958 --> 00:34:05,371
<i>I can and want to</i>
<i>can't live without you anymore.</i>

391
00:34:05,961 --> 00:34:08,954
<i>It seems to me</i>
<i>that you love me way, way too little</i>

392
00:34:09,130 --> 00:34:11,543
<i>and maybe not love it at all.</i>

393
00:34:11,716 --> 00:34:13,298
<i>Your K.</i>

394
00:34:16,221 --> 00:34:18,133
Yes, the pictures of men.

395
00:34:18,306 --> 00:34:20,423
They're so complicated.

396
00:34:20,600 --> 00:34:23,183
Yes. And this one especially.

397
00:34:23,853 --> 00:34:26,015
I could give you
also tell so much.

398
00:34:26,773 --> 00:34:29,732
Of my time,
where I was still wild and young.

399
00:34:32,112 --> 00:34:33,398
Good night.

400
00:34:34,030 --> 00:34:35,487
Good night.

401
00:34:44,666 --> 00:34:46,908
(melancholy music fades away)

402
00:34:47,836 --> 00:34:50,044
(barking)

403
00:34:50,213 --> 00:34:52,125
(growling)

404
00:34:59,639 --> 00:35:02,177
(Kandinsky) Oh, Miss Münter.

405
00:35:02,350 --> 00:35:05,809
What a surprise. May I give you
introduce my wife Anja?

406
00:35:06,021 --> 00:35:08,308
And this is... This is Daisy.

407
00:35:09,441 --> 00:35:11,524
Anja, this is Gabriele Münter,

408
00:35:11,693 --> 00:35:14,777
one of my best students
the phalanx.

409
00:35:15,947 --> 00:35:17,779
Good afternoon, Ms. Kandinsky.

410
00:35:18,450 --> 00:35:20,567
Her husband is a wonderful teacher.

411
00:35:21,536 --> 00:35:23,994
Yes. I'm not hearing this for the first time.

412
00:35:24,164 --> 00:35:26,076
(Daisy growls and barks)

413
00:35:30,003 --> 00:35:32,916
Yes, I...
I have to move on now.

414
00:35:33,089 --> 00:35:35,672
I have otherwise
no longer good light for painting.

415
00:35:36,343 --> 00:35:38,426
- You'll excuse me.
- Yes.

416
00:35:43,141 --> 00:35:45,053
(Daisy barks)

417
00:35:45,685 --> 00:35:48,723
(Russian)

418
00:35:49,147 --> 00:35:51,139
(Russian)

419
00:36:40,615 --> 00:36:43,528
One might think
that you enjoy this situation.

420
00:36:43,660 --> 00:36:47,244
Speak quietly. The lesson
starts soon. People could hear us.

421
00:36:47,414 --> 00:36:49,576
I do not care.
Everyone should hear it.

422
00:36:49,749 --> 00:36:52,241
I don't like this lying and secrecy
so disgusting.

423
00:36:52,419 --> 00:36:54,832
If we don't
can show our affection,

424
00:36:55,004 --> 00:36:56,836
I just have to give it up.

425
00:36:57,006 --> 00:36:59,214
(Kandinsky) My little fox.

426
00:36:59,342 --> 00:37:01,925
I promise you
a golden time is coming,

427
00:37:02,095 --> 00:37:04,428
where we hand in hand
go through life.

428
00:37:05,557 --> 00:37:07,014
Good morning, professor.

429
00:37:07,225 --> 00:37:08,841
- Good morning.
- Morning.

430
00:37:09,644 --> 00:37:12,557
- (Kandinsky) Good morning.
- (Student) Tomorrow.

431
00:37:21,322 --> 00:37:23,655
(Kandinsky) The artist

432
00:37:23,783 --> 00:37:27,322
must be his talent
know through and through.

433
00:37:27,495 --> 00:37:29,407
Therefore, never forget:

434
00:37:29,622 --> 00:37:31,989
Your most important task is to

435
00:37:32,167 --> 00:37:34,705
to let the screen sing,

436
00:37:34,961 --> 00:37:37,123
to create a composition.

437
00:37:37,297 --> 00:37:39,584
(Student 1) How is that supposed to work?

438
00:37:39,758 --> 00:37:41,795
(Kandinsky) Take a little black.

439
00:37:41,968 --> 00:37:45,211
Because black is like dead nothing

440
00:37:45,388 --> 00:37:47,129
after the sun goes out.

441
00:37:47,307 --> 00:37:49,219
Like an icy silence,

442
00:37:50,477 --> 00:37:53,936
without hope and without a future.

443
00:37:54,773 --> 00:37:56,685
(upbeat jazz music)

444
00:38:05,450 --> 00:38:08,318
(Münter) Professor
behind Martha, please.

445
00:38:11,164 --> 00:38:13,872
And Martha, continue to the left.

446
00:38:14,042 --> 00:38:16,659
Yes, exactly.
Straighten the ties nicely.

447
00:38:20,423 --> 00:38:22,005
And...

448
00:38:27,222 --> 00:38:29,589
Very nice. Thanks.

449
00:38:29,849 --> 00:38:33,342
(Student) I hope I'm sleeping
next to no one who snores.

450
00:38:34,103 --> 00:38:36,891
- So, Mr. Kell?
- (Kell) Yes, I am.

451
00:38:37,023 --> 00:38:39,686
The number 15 for you.
That would be right there.

452
00:38:39,901 --> 00:38:41,858
- For Miss Münter number 16.
- Yes.

453
00:38:42,111 --> 00:38:44,774
(landlady) And the professor
the number 14.

454
00:38:45,782 --> 00:38:47,148
Oh, wrong.

455
00:38:47,784 --> 00:38:49,241
Excuse me.

456
00:38:50,078 --> 00:38:51,535
Thank you very much.

457
00:38:52,330 --> 00:38:54,947
- The number 16 would then be right there.
- Yes.

458
00:38:55,917 --> 00:38:59,035
(Landlady) Good,
then we have the numbers

459
00:38:59,212 --> 00:39:01,704
six, four and eight.

460
00:39:01,881 --> 00:39:04,089
Wait a minute, I'll take a quick look.

461
00:39:05,468 --> 00:39:07,380
(melancholy music)

462
00:39:10,974 --> 00:39:12,886
(cuckoo calls, chirping)

463
00:39:14,185 --> 00:39:16,097
(flies buzz)

464
00:40:08,114 --> 00:40:10,026
Try it...

465
00:40:15,955 --> 00:40:17,036
with that.

466
00:40:17,206 --> 00:40:19,493
- Spatula technique?
- Of course you can.

467
00:40:20,418 --> 00:40:21,625
I'll show you.

468
00:40:26,716 --> 00:40:28,628
- What do you have there?
- Hmm?

469
00:40:37,393 --> 00:40:38,850
Vasily.

470
00:40:41,940 --> 00:40:44,774
- Do you like our engagement ring?
- Yes.

471
00:40:45,318 --> 00:40:46,604
Very.

472
00:41:12,261 --> 00:41:14,674
(melancholy music continues)

473
00:41:34,283 --> 00:41:35,694
And?

474
00:41:36,494 --> 00:41:39,362
Are you finally satisfied,
my little elk?

475
00:41:39,539 --> 00:41:41,747
Only when you
are legally divorced,

476
00:41:41,916 --> 00:41:45,876
and then I officially announce myself
Ms. Gabriele Kandinsky can be called.

477
00:41:46,045 --> 00:41:47,456
(Kandinsky) Hmm.

478
00:41:48,339 --> 00:41:51,332
Ella, we are
entered into a bond of conscience,

479
00:41:51,509 --> 00:41:55,344
which is much more durable
than all rituals and documents.

480
00:41:55,972 --> 00:41:59,090
Just be simple
sometimes carefree happy

481
00:41:59,267 --> 00:42:02,101
and let's
enjoy this wonderful moment.

482
00:42:23,291 --> 00:42:24,372
So beautiful.

483
00:42:26,169 --> 00:42:27,580
Yes.

484
00:42:44,395 --> 00:42:48,480
Still separate rooms? I have to
walk across the street?

485
00:42:50,109 --> 00:42:52,192
Anja says,
I would have taken everything from her

486
00:42:52,361 --> 00:42:54,478
and that's why
have no right to happiness.

487
00:42:55,198 --> 00:42:57,360
We just have to give her
give more time.

488
00:42:57,950 --> 00:42:59,816
How much more time?

489
00:43:01,037 --> 00:43:02,494
I have the feeling

490
00:43:02,622 --> 00:43:05,831
you have no idea
how difficult this is for me.

491
00:43:06,000 --> 00:43:08,242
I feel
like in a prison.

492
00:43:08,878 --> 00:43:11,586
Why do you think?
actually always just to you?

493
00:43:11,756 --> 00:43:13,543
What's wrong with me?

494
00:43:16,427 --> 00:43:20,011
But I think about you all the time.
(women laugh in the background)

495
00:43:20,139 --> 00:43:23,723
And according to my feeling
You've been my wife for a long time.

496
00:43:25,478 --> 00:43:28,266
- But Anja...
- (sighing) Anja.

497
00:43:28,523 --> 00:43:30,264
Anja, on the other hand, is perfect.

498
00:43:33,820 --> 00:43:36,528
A divorce
would be mental cruelty,

499
00:43:36,781 --> 00:43:39,319
that I don't feel capable of
I'm sorry.

500
00:43:39,492 --> 00:43:41,199
(she snorts)

501
00:43:41,369 --> 00:43:44,578
She is the only link
to your beloved fatherland.

502
00:43:44,747 --> 00:43:46,784
Is that it?

503
00:43:46,958 --> 00:43:48,745
Ella, listen.

504
00:43:48,918 --> 00:43:52,832
Our marriage was orthodox
closed according to Russian rite.

505
00:43:54,298 --> 00:43:56,210
But...
(he sighs)

506
00:43:58,177 --> 00:44:02,217
We have one here
rather hindering reason is concealed.

507
00:44:03,766 --> 00:44:06,053
We are blood relatives.

508
00:44:07,270 --> 00:44:08,636
cousin and cousin.

509
00:44:08,896 --> 00:44:10,307
What?

510
00:44:10,898 --> 00:44:14,437
That too.
Wassily, I... I can't believe it.

511
00:44:14,694 --> 00:44:16,902
I'll go with Anja
travel to Moscow,

512
00:44:18,072 --> 00:44:21,065
to see how we
get out of this situation.

513
00:44:24,412 --> 00:44:25,573
(she sighs)

514
00:44:25,705 --> 00:44:28,664
"I'm happy,
if you do it well and properly,

515
00:44:28,916 --> 00:44:30,532
whatever I want, without admonition."

516
00:44:30,710 --> 00:44:35,171
You wrote that, in one
of your letters declaring your love.

517
00:44:35,339 --> 00:44:38,002
But I'm not like that.
And I will never be like that.

518
00:44:42,430 --> 00:44:43,887
Good night.

519
00:44:47,935 --> 00:44:52,225
(Kandinsky) People always got in touch
fewer students at the Phalanx.

520
00:44:52,398 --> 00:44:57,063
That's why I unfortunately have to tell you
inform that we have to close.

521
00:44:57,236 --> 00:44:58,898
(Student) That's not true.

522
00:44:59,071 --> 00:45:03,236
This is a disaster. Where will
can we continue learning at this level?

523
00:45:04,076 --> 00:45:07,695
Well, young man, there is
so many art academies in Munich.

524
00:45:07,872 --> 00:45:10,410
You definitely will
find another.

525
00:45:10,541 --> 00:45:13,329
- None that gives women a chance.
- It...

526
00:45:13,461 --> 00:45:14,918
I'm sorry.

527
00:45:19,300 --> 00:45:21,212
(uneasy babble of voices)

528
00:45:23,471 --> 00:45:26,054
Are you sure
that you want to do this to yourself?

529
00:45:26,182 --> 00:45:27,889
What do you do, Susala?

530
00:45:28,059 --> 00:45:30,927
Be free without limits
and discover the world aimlessly?

531
00:45:31,062 --> 00:45:33,600
This is exactly what I want.

532
00:45:33,773 --> 00:45:35,184
And besides...

533
00:45:36,317 --> 00:45:39,685
In addition, Anja has
Wassily finally released.

534
00:45:39,820 --> 00:45:41,607
Then why does he want to leave so badly?

535
00:45:41,781 --> 00:45:44,694
Why doesn't he build himself here?
a life with you?

536
00:45:44,825 --> 00:45:46,282
He is disappointed with here.

537
00:45:46,535 --> 00:45:48,743
The closure of the phalanx
gave him the rest.

538
00:45:48,913 --> 00:45:51,246
And besides, he wants to
experience something new.

539
00:45:51,832 --> 00:45:54,870
And with me.
With me all alone.

540
00:45:56,170 --> 00:45:59,709
You're going with a man who's you
the blue sky promises,

541
00:45:59,882 --> 00:46:02,249
but until today
didn't think anything of it.

542
00:46:02,385 --> 00:46:05,719
He didn't just give me the blue
promised, but given.

543
00:46:05,888 --> 00:46:10,804
sky blue, peacock blue,
Ultramarine and cobalt blue.

544
00:46:11,060 --> 00:46:12,926
Ella, I'm serious.

545
00:46:13,062 --> 00:46:15,725
I don't care much for conventions,
you know that.

546
00:46:16,315 --> 00:46:18,398
But what he asks of you,
is too much.

547
00:46:18,567 --> 00:46:21,810
Your reputation is at stake,
not his.

548
00:46:21,946 --> 00:46:25,110
You sound just as stuffy
like my sister.

549
00:46:25,283 --> 00:46:28,276
Susala, I love him.

550
00:46:28,452 --> 00:46:31,160
More than anything in this world.

551
00:46:31,330 --> 00:46:33,788
Maybe even more
than painting.

552
00:46:36,335 --> 00:46:39,828
I'm writing to you,
whenever I can, I promise.

553
00:46:41,882 --> 00:46:43,464
Hm?

554
00:46:44,677 --> 00:46:46,589
(exuberant music)

555
00:46:52,643 --> 00:46:54,555
(whistling)

556
00:47:06,574 --> 00:47:08,486
(exuberant music continues)

557
00:47:50,659 --> 00:47:53,151
(Münter) <i>Susala,</i>
<i>I want to be honest with you.</i>

558
00:47:53,329 --> 00:47:56,788
<i>Things don't always work out that way</i>
<i>harmonious as at the beginning of the journey.</i>

559
00:47:56,957 --> 00:48:00,371
<i>We often argue, but we find it</i>
<i>also quickly back to each other.</i>

560
00:48:00,503 --> 00:48:04,338
<i>Wassily is easy sometimes</i>
<i>dissatisfied and depressed for no reason.</i>

561
00:48:04,465 --> 00:48:07,924
<i>But now we're looking forward to Sèvres.</i>
<i>This is near Paris.</i>

562
00:48:08,511 --> 00:48:11,549
<i>Please don't worry about me.</i>
<i>Your Ella.</i>

563
00:48:11,722 --> 00:48:13,133
Thank you beaucoup.

564
00:48:13,974 --> 00:48:15,886
(Page speaks French)

565
00:48:17,103 --> 00:48:18,560
Thank you, madame.

566
00:48:18,729 --> 00:48:20,641
(exuberant music stops)

567
00:48:23,192 --> 00:48:25,058
(Münter) Maybe it fits here.

568
00:48:25,319 --> 00:48:28,437
You have peace and quiet, you can work,
far away from the world outside.

569
00:48:28,697 --> 00:48:30,359
(Kandinsky) Hmm.

570
00:48:30,533 --> 00:48:31,990
What do you mean by that?

571
00:48:32,159 --> 00:48:34,446
Vasily,
You always have something.

572
00:48:34,620 --> 00:48:38,489
First you are sad to death,
then cheering sky high.

573
00:48:38,624 --> 00:48:42,208
(she sighs) Your whims
are sometimes difficult to bear.

574
00:48:42,378 --> 00:48:43,914
My moods.

575
00:48:44,088 --> 00:48:45,875
That I don't laugh.

576
00:48:46,048 --> 00:48:48,665
You're making me sick, Ella. You.

577
00:48:51,595 --> 00:48:53,837
(Münter) Sometimes you are
so callous.

578
00:48:54,014 --> 00:48:56,506
You could almost think
you only love yourself.

579
00:49:11,866 --> 00:49:16,361
Ella. My little elk.
You know I love you more than anything.

580
00:49:17,830 --> 00:49:20,038
But you know me by now.

581
00:49:20,207 --> 00:49:23,917
Sometimes I need a little
Time to sort myself out.

582
00:49:24,086 --> 00:49:26,123
This grief, tormenting thoughts...

583
00:49:26,297 --> 00:49:29,290
Please. Please start now
don't start with it again.

584
00:49:30,301 --> 00:49:32,793
You don't want order
bring into your life.

585
00:49:32,970 --> 00:49:36,259
You are far too...
far too Janus-faced.

586
00:49:47,776 --> 00:49:49,187
Listen.

587
00:49:50,112 --> 00:49:54,447
I... I understand why you
sometimes you're so angry with me.

588
00:49:55,493 --> 00:49:58,406
But I have explained to you many times

589
00:49:58,579 --> 00:50:02,493
that I want everyone closer
stands by me, makes me unhappy.

590
00:50:07,755 --> 00:50:09,212
It stays that way.

591
00:50:10,090 --> 00:50:14,004
I'm renting a room in Paris.
I want to move forward.

592
00:50:16,430 --> 00:50:17,887
Hmm.

593
00:50:19,850 --> 00:50:22,558
I'm coming you
then visit on the weekends.

594
00:50:25,272 --> 00:50:27,184
(relaxed jazz music)

595
00:50:36,700 --> 00:50:38,282
"Now I want to see Paris.

596
00:50:38,452 --> 00:50:40,990
The galleries, the museums,
the magnificent boulevards.

597
00:50:41,580 --> 00:50:45,415
<i>It's nice in Sèvres, but I want to</i>
<i>also make progress in my painting.</i>

598
00:50:45,626 --> 00:50:48,664
That's why I want courses
at the Grande Chaumière."

599
00:51:00,224 --> 00:51:01,681
Bonjour.

600
00:51:09,984 --> 00:51:11,600
(Student) Au revoir, Ella.

601
00:51:12,027 --> 00:51:13,484
Au revoir.

602
00:51:42,099 --> 00:51:44,056
Emmy? It's me.

603
00:51:44,184 --> 00:51:48,224
I'm in Paris, and some of my
Woodcuts are in the newspaper.

604
00:51:48,397 --> 00:51:50,684
- That's wonderful, Ella.
- Yes.

605
00:51:50,858 --> 00:51:54,101
My oil studies are coming in
the Salon des Artistes Indépendants.

606
00:51:54,737 --> 00:51:57,195
- Isn't that great?
- Congratulations.

607
00:51:57,364 --> 00:51:59,697
- I'm happy for you.
- Thanks.

608
00:51:59,908 --> 00:52:01,865
And what does Kandinsky say about this?

609
00:52:02,536 --> 00:52:04,027
(Kandinsky) My little fox.

610
00:52:04,204 --> 00:52:07,447
Baroness von Werefkin and
Alexej von Jawlensky wrote to me.

611
00:52:07,583 --> 00:52:11,953
They ask if we can come with them over the summer
want to spend with them in Murnau.

612
00:52:12,129 --> 00:52:14,997
But I don't want to at all
away from France.

613
00:52:15,174 --> 00:52:17,507
I feel wonderful here right now.

614
00:52:23,932 --> 00:52:25,389
Ella.

615
00:52:26,226 --> 00:52:30,311
The two want new ideas
and share their creativity with us.

616
00:52:30,481 --> 00:52:33,315
They have the same one
expressive view like us.

617
00:52:33,567 --> 00:52:36,856
- They are planning their artists' association.
- You decided?

618
00:52:37,988 --> 00:52:39,729
- No...
- Wassily, you know...

619
00:52:39,990 --> 00:52:42,277
You can't find peace in any place.

620
00:52:42,451 --> 00:52:45,990
Obviously you need
public recognition...

621
00:52:46,163 --> 00:52:47,950
like your mental withdrawal.

622
00:52:49,166 --> 00:52:51,078
(he sighs)

623
00:52:51,710 --> 00:52:53,827
(door is closed)

624
00:52:59,677 --> 00:53:01,213
(thunder rumbles)

625
00:53:03,263 --> 00:53:05,175
(quiet music)

626
00:53:27,579 --> 00:53:29,195
(Werefkin) "We assume

627
00:53:29,373 --> 00:53:32,161
that the artist
except the impressions,

628
00:53:32,334 --> 00:53:36,203
which he from the outside world,
nature preserves,

629
00:53:36,380 --> 00:53:39,088
continually in an inner world

630
00:53:39,258 --> 00:53:40,840
Collects experiences."

631
00:53:41,427 --> 00:53:44,340
That's what we want
start with the newsletter.

632
00:53:44,513 --> 00:53:45,970
How do you find that?

633
00:53:47,391 --> 00:53:49,883
So I find
that sounds very good.

634
00:53:50,060 --> 00:53:53,269
Immediately after founding
we want to send it to, um...

635
00:53:53,439 --> 00:53:55,021
(he speaks Russian)

636
00:53:55,190 --> 00:53:58,729
- Influential.
- Uh. Influential personalities.

637
00:53:58,861 --> 00:54:00,693
And we already have names:

638
00:54:00,821 --> 00:54:03,609
New Munich Artists' Association.

639
00:54:03,741 --> 00:54:05,198
Are you there?

640
00:54:13,917 --> 00:54:15,829
(quiet music continues)

641
00:54:42,029 --> 00:54:43,941
(peaceful music)

642
00:55:37,793 --> 00:55:41,002
(Münter) <i>Wassily,</i>
<i>I did it.</i>

00:56:26,133 --> 00:56:28,250
(peaceful music fades away)

646
00:56:39,938 --> 00:56:41,679
- Wonderful.
- Yes.

647
00:56:42,316 --> 00:56:43,898
A charming little town.

648
00:56:44,401 --> 00:56:48,361
I admit, we've already talked about it
thought about buying a house here.

649
00:56:48,614 --> 00:56:51,072
By train
you can get to Munich so quickly.

650
00:56:51,241 --> 00:56:53,858
And certainly no one is raising eyebrows here
so quickly the nose

651
00:56:54,036 --> 00:56:56,870
about ours
inappropriate relationship.

652
00:56:57,497 --> 00:57:00,080
(Werefkin) Well,
I wouldn't be so sure about that.

653
00:57:00,334 --> 00:57:02,326
Besides, what is appropriate?

654
00:57:02,461 --> 00:57:06,000
For artists, bourgeois should be
Thinking will be irrelevant anyway.

655
00:57:06,256 --> 00:57:08,293
- (Jawlensky) Hmm.
- Isn't it?

656
00:57:14,139 --> 00:57:17,507
Alexei and Marianne are alive
with their household help.

657
00:57:18,644 --> 00:57:22,513
And she was outrageously young,
when Alexei got her pregnant.

658
00:57:23,482 --> 00:57:25,394
(glasses clink)

659
00:57:36,328 --> 00:57:38,661
Do you see? The weather is getting better.

660
00:57:38,830 --> 00:57:40,196
(Werefkin) Look.

661
00:57:43,418 --> 00:57:45,330
(he exhales emphatically)

662
00:57:50,842 --> 00:57:55,382
Ella's courage for the colors
is really impressive.

663
00:57:56,765 --> 00:57:58,848
She doesn't compromise.

664
00:57:59,017 --> 00:58:01,634
However.
I'm very proud of her.

665
00:58:04,856 --> 00:58:08,691
I don't bother because of Alexei
more about a calculable form.

666
00:58:08,860 --> 00:58:11,443
I now paint what I feel.

667
00:58:11,613 --> 00:58:14,356
Simplified shapes, large areas.

668
00:58:14,533 --> 00:58:18,447
I represent the world as it appears to me
seems essential, it grabs me.

669
00:58:18,620 --> 00:58:20,407
I am really grateful to Alexei.

670
00:58:26,545 --> 00:58:29,879
If only he was at home
would behave in such an exemplary manner.

671
00:58:30,966 --> 00:58:33,333
Maybe we should
go a little bit?

672
00:58:41,727 --> 00:58:44,595
Conceived a child
with my housemaid.

673
00:58:44,771 --> 00:58:47,514
If there is at least
would have been a baroness.

674
00:58:48,066 --> 00:58:50,729
The studio is the same
a kindergarten.

675
00:58:50,861 --> 00:58:53,478
And all day long
the screaming of this brat.

676
00:58:54,072 --> 00:58:55,438
(Münter) And Maria Marc,

677
00:58:55,615 --> 00:58:59,108
Franz lets himself go first
married Annette Simon

678
00:58:59,286 --> 00:59:02,996
and then sleeps with Marie Schnür,
Maria's teacher and best friend.

679
00:59:03,165 --> 00:59:05,532
Oh, Ella,
let's be honest.

680
00:59:05,709 --> 00:59:07,792
You are
also just Wassily's mistress.

681
00:59:08,628 --> 00:59:11,041
- Hello, ladies.
- (both) Hello.

682
00:59:12,591 --> 00:59:15,709
For how many years
is he already promising you marriage?

683
00:59:25,812 --> 00:59:27,724
(playful jazz music)

684
00:59:46,625 --> 00:59:48,082
Oops.

685
00:59:54,674 --> 00:59:58,213
Thank you so much for you
you bought this house for us.

686
01:00:00,430 --> 01:00:02,797
We can grow old together here.

687
01:00:02,974 --> 01:00:04,681
Of course it suits you here.

688
01:00:04,851 --> 01:00:07,639
Nobody cares here
whether we are married.

689
01:00:07,813 --> 01:00:11,557
Oh, Ella, you think so too
really has worms everywhere.

690
01:00:12,317 --> 01:00:14,934
It's about calm, about peace.

691
01:00:15,862 --> 01:00:17,478
The simplicity out here.

692
01:00:17,656 --> 01:00:19,488
It is indeed simple.

693
01:00:19,699 --> 01:00:22,658
No water pipe,
no bathroom, no electric light.

694
01:00:22,828 --> 01:00:26,617
Yes, out here we have
but everything we need.

695
01:00:27,541 --> 01:00:32,206
Lots of light for painting,
the harmonium, its own garden.

696
01:00:33,213 --> 01:00:37,127
And then we spend the winter
in Munich. With electricity.

697
01:00:37,300 --> 01:00:39,462
(whispering) I love it here too.

698
01:00:40,262 --> 01:00:42,845
- (Jawlensky) Hello?
- Ah, this is Alexei.

699
01:00:45,517 --> 01:00:46,974
Good day.

700
01:00:47,727 --> 01:00:50,344
Extremely beautiful, my love.

701
01:00:50,605 --> 01:00:52,972
You can consider yourself lucky.

702
01:00:59,072 --> 01:01:01,109
Features, page seven.

703
01:01:01,741 --> 01:01:03,198
(she sighs)

704
01:01:13,670 --> 01:01:18,210
"Either the members of this
association incurably mentally ill,

705
01:01:18,425 --> 01:01:21,668
or it is a group
by unscrupulous impostors,

706
01:01:21,845 --> 01:01:25,213
those about the weakness of ours
Contemporaries know for sensation

707
01:01:25,390 --> 01:01:28,633
and try
to take advantage of this great demand."

708
01:01:29,227 --> 01:01:31,139
(he sighs)

709
01:01:32,189 --> 01:01:34,101
Will you show Wassily?

710
01:01:39,404 --> 01:01:40,895
- But not today.
- Mmm.

711
01:01:46,244 --> 01:01:48,156
Come on, I'll show you the upper floor.

712
01:01:48,330 --> 01:01:49,741
Mmm. Gladly.

713
01:01:56,129 --> 01:01:57,961
- My studio.
- Uh.

714
01:02:05,847 --> 01:02:09,340
- And this is my poudreuse.
-Oh.

715
01:02:09,517 --> 01:02:11,429
Didn't Wassily paint them beautifully?

716
01:02:11,603 --> 01:02:15,096
A rider waving
turns to the rider,

717
01:02:15,273 --> 01:02:18,482
those to him
chases after them, out of their reach.

718
01:02:19,569 --> 01:02:23,654
Hmm. Our whole life
on a dressing table.

719
01:02:23,782 --> 01:02:26,024
(he laughs)

720
01:02:26,201 --> 01:02:28,659
Marianne would like to invite you.

721
01:02:28,828 --> 01:02:31,115
- To a concert in Munich.
- How nice.

722
01:02:31,289 --> 01:02:33,656
Before we meet
in her salon.

723
01:02:33,833 --> 01:02:36,871
Franz Marc and his wife
will also be there.

724
01:02:38,713 --> 01:02:41,330
Alexei.
What wonderful news.

725
01:02:41,508 --> 01:02:43,044
(Russian)

726
01:02:43,218 --> 01:02:46,461
Franz is one of the few
who shares our ideas.

727
01:02:46,638 --> 01:02:48,095
Wonderful.

728
01:02:49,766 --> 01:02:53,259
(Münter) Yes,
and this is Wassily's studio.

729
01:02:54,354 --> 01:02:55,811
Can I?

730
01:03:11,413 --> 01:03:12,904
To the beautiful evening.

731
01:03:17,460 --> 01:03:19,247
(Werefkin) Franz, Maria.

732
01:03:20,297 --> 01:03:22,880
Dear Marc couple,
nice to see you.

733
01:03:23,049 --> 01:03:25,336
(Javlenksy) Vasily.
Thanks for your recipe.

734
01:03:25,593 --> 01:03:30,088
I was finally able to make it myself
and mix different shades of blue.

735
01:03:30,223 --> 01:03:32,840
My tube colors
always dry out too quickly.

736
01:03:33,018 --> 01:03:35,260
I'm glad, dear Alexei.

737
01:03:35,437 --> 01:03:38,271
But today it's about much more

738
01:03:38,440 --> 01:03:40,807
than just rescue
of dry colors.

739
01:03:40,942 --> 01:03:42,433
So?

740
01:03:43,028 --> 01:03:45,771
We have to each other
oppose the academic.

741
01:03:45,905 --> 01:03:48,067
But that's what we do.

742
01:03:48,241 --> 01:03:52,110
That's exactly why we have
Artists' association founded.

743
01:03:52,287 --> 01:03:56,031
Well, we have to have a spiritual one
Bring a level into art.

744
01:03:56,207 --> 01:03:59,746
Our pictures should be for themselves
speak, not their connotation.

745
01:03:59,919 --> 01:04:02,286
(he laughs)
You of all people say that,

746
01:04:02,422 --> 01:04:05,915
his favorite painting by Monet
Impressionism haystack is?

747
01:04:06,176 --> 01:04:08,919
I never would have known
that it is a haystack,

748
01:04:09,179 --> 01:04:11,637
if it's not in the catalog
would have been explained.

749
01:04:11,806 --> 01:04:15,550
The artist gives his image
the form that is true for him.

750
01:04:15,810 --> 01:04:17,847
That's the way it is. And...

751
01:04:19,022 --> 01:04:21,184
Thanks for the keyword, Franz.

752
01:04:28,907 --> 01:04:30,443
(Franz) I'm excited.

753
01:04:35,622 --> 01:04:37,488
I want this picture for you today

754
01:04:37,624 --> 01:04:41,413
as a vision for my understanding
of new art.

755
01:04:42,045 --> 01:04:43,832
That's... Wassily.

756
01:04:44,756 --> 01:04:47,339
This movement, this color...

757
01:04:48,885 --> 01:04:50,501
This is revolutionary.

758
01:04:50,678 --> 01:04:54,513
Saint George, Vasily
has portrayed him many times.

759
01:04:54,682 --> 01:04:58,096
But this is the first time,
that I truly painted him.

760
01:04:58,353 --> 01:04:59,810
Just like I feel him.

761
01:04:59,979 --> 01:05:02,687
Him who for
fights for the victory of the spirit.

762
01:05:04,234 --> 01:05:08,854
We will be contacted at the next exhibition
tear into the air again.

763
01:05:09,030 --> 01:05:11,363
(Kandinsky) Yes, probably.

764
01:05:12,242 --> 01:05:13,904
I can already hear it.

765
01:05:14,077 --> 01:05:16,615
“If possible, please
only understandable works."

766
01:05:16,788 --> 01:05:20,372
Believe me, Munich society
isn't ready for something like that yet.

767
01:05:20,500 --> 01:05:24,369
It sticks to the objective,
in the image of nature.

768
01:05:25,672 --> 01:05:27,038
Even.

769
01:05:27,215 --> 01:05:28,751
And that's over now.

770
01:05:34,389 --> 01:05:35,846
And...

771
01:05:37,142 --> 01:05:41,477
with my membership in the
New Munich Artists' Association.

772
01:05:44,065 --> 01:05:46,523
Yes, Wassily and I, we...

773
01:05:46,693 --> 01:05:48,104
and Ella of course,

774
01:05:48,278 --> 01:05:50,190
we are planning an almanac.

775
01:05:50,363 --> 01:05:53,777
Only artists are allowed to have their say
come. From home and abroad.

776
01:05:54,033 --> 01:05:56,241
Our departure into modernity
does not mean

777
01:05:56,411 --> 01:05:59,370
paint on the canvas,
beautifully colorful and wild, that's it.

778
01:05:59,539 --> 01:06:01,952
Our colors have meaning.

779
01:06:02,625 --> 01:06:04,332
Vermillion, for example.

780
01:06:04,461 --> 01:06:08,455
It attracts and irritates,
like the flame.

781
01:06:09,382 --> 01:06:12,216
A bright lemon yellow
hurts the eye in the long run.

782
01:06:12,343 --> 01:06:13,879
The eye becomes restless

783
01:06:14,053 --> 01:06:18,172
and seeks deepening and peace
in blue and green.

784
01:06:18,349 --> 01:06:20,432
We'll discuss this
another time.

785
01:06:20,685 --> 01:06:23,348
Schönberg's concert
starts soon.

786
01:06:31,446 --> 01:06:33,688
(dissonant piano music)

787
01:06:46,461 --> 01:06:48,999
(uneasy whisper)

788
01:06:52,175 --> 01:06:54,383
(audience) This is a scandal.

789
01:06:56,429 --> 01:06:58,512
So these philistines. Terrible.

790
01:07:00,183 --> 01:07:02,391
(dissonant music continues)

791
01:07:51,859 --> 01:07:54,351
(dissonant music continues)

792
01:08:49,917 --> 01:08:51,829
(dissonant music fades away)

793
01:08:54,922 --> 01:08:58,086
You have to imagine it like this:
His senses merge.

794
01:08:58,259 --> 01:09:00,751
He hears colors and can see sounds.

795
01:09:01,012 --> 01:09:03,846
This quick piece from the Russian,
"Flight of the Bumblebee"...

796
01:09:04,015 --> 01:09:05,927
- Rimsky-Korsakov?
- Yes, exactly.

797
01:09:06,100 --> 01:09:09,593
The “Flight of the Bumblebee” is for Wassily
a firework display of red, orange,

798
01:09:09,854 --> 01:09:12,096
yellow, ocher and brown,
just as an example.

799
01:09:12,357 --> 01:09:14,440
- He's a synesthete.
- A what?

800
01:09:14,609 --> 01:09:16,896
Certain areas of the brain in Kandinsky

801
01:09:17,070 --> 01:09:18,527
are overly connected.

802
01:09:19,113 --> 01:09:22,106
- A hyperconnectivity.
- Hasn't been researched yet.

803
01:09:23,493 --> 01:09:25,610
Then I'll be calm. Cheers.

804
01:09:26,621 --> 01:09:27,828
- Cheers.
- Cheers.

805
01:09:27,997 --> 01:09:29,989
(Franz) This departure is needed.

806
01:09:30,249 --> 01:09:33,993
But forget about this departure
the Munich critics don't.

807
01:09:34,170 --> 01:09:37,880
Oh, that's a rubbish,
what they complain about and smear.

808
01:09:38,132 --> 01:09:40,089
- Or?
- All complete idiots.

809
01:09:40,259 --> 01:09:42,000
But you'll see.

810
01:09:42,178 --> 01:09:44,966
The power of the color becomes
be our trademark.

811
01:09:45,139 --> 01:09:48,803
We have to do the same with the colors
control effortlessly like lines.

812
01:09:48,976 --> 01:09:51,935
Yes, you've always been able to do that,
completely intuitive.

813
01:09:52,063 --> 01:09:54,976
Just like you do to me in many things
you are far ahead.

814
01:09:55,733 --> 01:09:59,397
As far as I remember, it was you
my teacher, not the other way around.

815
01:09:59,570 --> 01:10:01,607
But, friends,
That's exactly what it's all about.

816
01:10:01,823 --> 01:10:03,940
No more rigid rules.

817
01:10:04,117 --> 01:10:05,653
Just like our life together,

818
01:10:05,785 --> 01:10:08,823
our motives must change
detach from reality,

819
01:10:08,996 --> 01:10:12,785
(echoing) free yourself from the
Rules of gravity, space.

820
01:10:14,377 --> 01:10:17,745
(echoing) We have to
open to all art forms.

821
01:10:17,922 --> 01:10:21,916
Because art,
no matter whether music or painting,

822
01:10:22,093 --> 01:10:24,927
someone has to
arise from inner necessity.

823
01:10:25,096 --> 01:10:27,759
I mean, look at Schönberg.

824
01:10:27,932 --> 01:10:32,051
He has a whole new freedom in that
artistic design created.

825
01:10:32,228 --> 01:10:34,561
A perception of inner sound.

826
01:10:35,481 --> 01:10:38,098
A connection of art,

827
01:10:38,276 --> 01:10:40,768
of all times and all peoples.

828
01:10:40,903 --> 01:10:43,486
An all-encompassing cultural synthesis.

829
01:10:43,656 --> 01:10:45,773
(ominously dissonant music)

830
01:10:46,576 --> 01:10:48,488
(neigh)

831
01:10:51,956 --> 01:10:53,868
<i>A link between art,</i>

832
01:10:56,377 --> 01:10:58,494
<i>of all times and all peoples.</i>

833
01:11:00,506 --> 01:11:03,089
<i>An all-encompassing cultural synthesis.</i>

834
01:11:03,843 --> 01:11:06,586
(Franz) <i>Then art can</i>
<i>also improve the world.</i>

835
01:11:06,763 --> 01:11:11,224
(normal) Yes, that's why we give
the publication, the almanac,

836
01:11:11,476 --> 01:11:13,718
in which we
the latest art movements

837
01:11:13,895 --> 01:11:16,979
in France, Germany
and introduce Russia.

838
01:11:17,607 --> 01:11:21,226
By the way, Macke is coming the day after tomorrow.
We can discuss this with him then.

839
01:11:21,486 --> 01:11:23,603
(echoing) Let's think about it
a name.

840
01:11:23,780 --> 01:11:26,944
Something nicer than
New Munich Artists' Association.

841
01:11:27,116 --> 01:11:29,654
(normal) Franz, you love animals.

842
01:11:30,453 --> 01:11:32,160
- Yes.
- Hmm...

843
01:11:32,330 --> 01:11:35,789
You draw your favorite animal
in your favorite color.

844
01:11:36,042 --> 01:11:39,126
And you, Vasily,
you draw your favorite character.

845
01:11:39,378 --> 01:11:41,040
- Any human being.
- You.

846
01:11:41,297 --> 01:11:42,833
(she laughs)

847
01:11:43,674 --> 01:11:46,087
The color blue.

848
01:11:46,260 --> 01:11:49,753
Ever since Romanticism
it stands for the spiritual.

849
01:11:49,931 --> 01:11:53,470
Overcoming material things...

850
01:11:54,060 --> 01:11:55,471
and old.

851
01:11:56,562 --> 01:11:59,100
In favor of a spiritual principle.

852
01:12:05,321 --> 01:12:07,233
(soft dissonant music)

853
01:12:08,991 --> 01:12:10,448
(Münter) Mmm.

854
01:12:13,371 --> 01:12:15,283
- Yes.
- (Münter) Mhm.

855
01:12:17,750 --> 01:12:21,118
A knight and a horse.

856
01:12:21,379 --> 01:12:24,087
And what does a knight do?
on a horse?

857
01:12:25,007 --> 01:12:26,418
- Ride.
- Ride.

858
01:12:27,844 --> 01:12:29,255
Now wait a minute.

859
01:12:32,557 --> 01:12:35,345
"The Blue Rider". That's it.

860
01:12:38,145 --> 01:12:41,513
We need the emotional moments
accentuate in our work.

861
01:12:41,691 --> 01:12:44,274
The depiction of reality
avoid.

862
01:12:44,443 --> 01:12:46,605
Photography can do that.

863
01:12:46,779 --> 01:12:49,317
(Franz) If you want,
the emotional moments

864
01:12:49,574 --> 01:12:53,113
associated with spiritualization
of art, to the abstract.

865
01:12:53,286 --> 01:12:55,994
- That's the way it is.
- And for this purpose we are setting up an editorial team.

866
01:12:56,163 --> 01:12:57,870
And publish an almanac.

867
01:12:58,040 --> 01:13:00,202
We already have a name.

868
01:13:03,379 --> 01:13:06,338
(it's running
melancholic harmonium music)

869
01:13:30,823 --> 01:13:32,280
Bravo.

870
01:13:32,450 --> 01:13:33,657
(applause)

871
01:13:33,784 --> 01:13:35,901
So, for the good.

872
01:13:36,078 --> 01:13:37,535
- For the benefit.
- For the benefit.

873
01:13:39,248 --> 01:13:42,332
I'm interested in your vision,
really.

874
01:13:44,086 --> 01:13:47,420
But I don't know if that
Objects should disappear.

875
01:13:48,132 --> 01:13:50,294
The approach
must be new,

876
01:13:50,468 --> 01:13:53,176
how we do things
color and design.

877
01:13:53,304 --> 01:13:56,422
August, you understand
Wassily's vision?

878
01:13:56,599 --> 01:13:59,683
It's about inner necessity
of the artist.

879
01:13:59,852 --> 01:14:02,890
Ella, now please.
Don't be so oversensitive.

880
01:14:03,022 --> 01:14:04,729
August is for the expressive

881
01:14:04,899 --> 01:14:07,687
and has the abstract
just put up for discussion.

882
01:14:08,694 --> 01:14:12,779
What specifically doesn't suit you?
dear August?

883
01:14:15,534 --> 01:14:19,744
The great spirituality of your pictures
doesn't really make sense to me.

884
01:14:19,914 --> 01:14:22,827
Yes, a lot of things are too wild, too mystical.

885
01:14:23,084 --> 01:14:25,417
- Too incomprehensible.
- (Kandinsky) Mmm.

886
01:14:25,586 --> 01:14:29,250
Mystification harms my opinion
according to the pictures and...

887
01:14:29,757 --> 01:14:31,089
spoils the joy of the eyes.

888
01:14:31,676 --> 01:14:35,511
- (Kandinsky) I can assure you...
- Art comes from within.

889
01:14:35,680 --> 01:14:37,763
From the soul.
Just like with my pictures.

890
01:14:37,932 --> 01:14:39,343
So please, Ella.

891
01:14:39,517 --> 01:14:44,057
The simplicity of your means, that
spontaneous thoughtlessness of your pictures.

892
01:14:44,230 --> 01:14:46,847
How can you do that
compare with Franz and Wassily?

893
01:14:46,983 --> 01:14:49,191
You worry about it for months

894
01:14:49,360 --> 01:14:52,694
make endless sketches,
before they go to the screen.

895
01:14:52,822 --> 01:14:56,566
You're just jealous
because my art is successful.

896
01:14:56,784 --> 01:15:00,152
This is infamous. I gave up painting
to support Franz.

897
01:15:00,413 --> 01:15:02,450
Because he should be the center of attention.

898
01:15:02,665 --> 01:15:05,908
Maria, you are
a former drawing teacher.

899
01:15:06,168 --> 01:15:09,411
You haven't given up anything,
what would have been worth giving up.

900
01:15:09,588 --> 01:15:12,547
There was nothing unusual there
in your painting.

901
01:15:12,800 --> 01:15:16,339
Franz is a good alibi for yours
Realization of being just mediocre.

902
01:15:16,595 --> 01:15:17,711
Enough now!

903
01:15:17,972 --> 01:15:20,760
Oh, and you are
the great, recognized artist?

904
01:15:21,017 --> 01:15:23,885
Just my art
is appreciated by the critics.

905
01:15:33,029 --> 01:15:35,191
I...
(she clears her throat)

906
01:15:35,364 --> 01:15:37,947
I have terrible migraines.

907
01:15:38,117 --> 01:15:40,450
I will withdraw.
Good evening.

908
01:15:48,919 --> 01:15:50,376
It is...
(he coughs)

909
01:15:50,546 --> 01:15:52,378
It's getting late.

910
01:15:52,548 --> 01:15:55,336
I think it's time
to end the evening.

911
01:15:55,509 --> 01:15:57,045
<i>What a snappy bitch.</i>

912
01:15:57,261 --> 01:16:00,345
Don't worry, Maria.
She is an uneducated goose.

913
01:16:00,514 --> 01:16:01,846
The worst kind.

914
01:16:02,016 --> 01:16:06,056
It's just a shame that women like that...
Destroying male friendships.

915
01:16:06,228 --> 01:16:09,938
Farewell, “Blue Rider”.
A moth gets in the way.

916
01:16:10,066 --> 01:16:13,150
What do you mean by that?
You're planning an exhibition.

917
01:16:13,319 --> 01:16:15,356
If she doesn't destroy everything first.

918
01:16:15,529 --> 01:16:17,942
This lackluster, simple-minded creature.

919
01:16:18,115 --> 01:16:22,826
So I could do this woman
destroy it straight away, really.

920
01:16:22,995 --> 01:16:25,738
Oh, Franz, give it a rest.
Franz.

921
01:16:26,624 --> 01:16:28,411
(Kandinsky) Are you feeling better?

922
01:16:28,542 --> 01:16:31,410
- Are they gone?
- Yes, Ella, they're gone.

923
01:16:33,297 --> 01:16:35,505
What are your headaches doing?

924
01:16:36,300 --> 01:16:38,883
I just wanted
just be alone with you.

925
01:16:39,053 --> 01:16:41,591
And that's why
are you provoking such an argument?

926
01:16:41,764 --> 01:16:43,221
These are our friends.

927
01:16:44,850 --> 01:16:46,432
That's how they stay.

928
01:16:52,858 --> 01:16:54,770
(door is closed)

929
01:17:03,202 --> 01:17:05,194
That we managed to do that.

930
01:17:05,371 --> 01:17:07,033
43 images.

931
01:17:07,289 --> 01:17:09,451
Elizabeth Epstein,
Delaunay, Campendonk.

932
01:17:09,583 --> 01:17:11,666
And six paintings by you alone.

933
01:17:12,503 --> 01:17:14,369
You can be proud of that, Ella.

934
01:17:15,131 --> 01:17:16,963
We can all be proud.

935
01:17:17,675 --> 01:17:20,713
Although not many
interested in our art.

936
01:17:20,970 --> 01:17:23,053
I am interested in your art.

937
01:17:23,180 --> 01:17:26,469
Paul, Lily, welcome.

938
01:17:26,642 --> 01:17:28,508
How nice that you are here.

939
01:17:28,686 --> 01:17:31,975
May I introduce?
Gabriele Münter. Lily and Paul Klee.

940
01:17:32,189 --> 01:17:33,646
Franz Marc. I'm pleased.

941
01:17:33,816 --> 01:17:35,227
Paul. Lily.

942
01:17:36,152 --> 01:17:37,142
Please.

943
01:17:38,863 --> 01:17:41,856
I've been looking at the pictures for a long time
van Gogh's busy.

944
01:17:42,032 --> 01:17:44,399
All in all
perhaps too pathological.

945
01:17:44,577 --> 01:17:46,910
But captivating in its color.

946
01:17:47,079 --> 01:17:50,288
Then I looked at her like that and
my enthusiasm increased again.

947
01:17:50,791 --> 01:17:54,330
Since your compositions he is
no longer the same in importance.

948
01:17:54,545 --> 01:17:57,879
(he laughs slightly)
Well, that's too much of an honor.

949
01:17:58,132 --> 01:18:00,875
But thank you
for your warm words.

950
01:18:01,051 --> 01:18:03,919
It's true.
He almost only talks about you.

951
01:18:04,096 --> 01:18:07,680
And of your great courage,
To paint pictures without an object.

952
01:18:08,642 --> 01:18:12,602
But I also like some of yours
impressive, Miss Münter.

953
01:18:14,315 --> 01:18:16,898
Commendable,
that artists are also here.

954
01:18:17,151 --> 01:18:19,268
(Paul) You paint like Munch.

955
01:18:19,445 --> 01:18:22,563
This way of dealing with colors
I can't control that.

956
01:18:22,740 --> 01:18:25,027
Yes, I'll give you that
absolutely right.

957
01:18:25,284 --> 01:18:27,742
Ella is naturally very talented.

958
01:18:30,539 --> 01:18:32,451
(relaxed jazz music)

959
01:18:45,221 --> 01:18:48,430
(Paul) Thannhauser
really has a feel for...

960
01:18:48,599 --> 01:18:50,807
modern, avant-garde art.

961
01:18:50,976 --> 01:18:54,014
Next time I would like to be there
on your ride into the blue.

962
01:18:54,271 --> 01:18:57,230
Oh, you can use green poison
take it, dear Klee.

963
01:18:57,399 --> 01:18:59,857
(Visitor) That's terrible.
Greislich.

964
01:18:59,985 --> 01:19:01,692
(Visitor) He's sick.

965
01:19:01,820 --> 01:19:04,358
- Who does something like that?
- That was it.

966
01:19:05,407 --> 01:19:07,990
Sorry,
but our pictures don't measure

967
01:19:08,160 --> 01:19:10,527
with the scale
the external beauty.

968
01:19:10,663 --> 01:19:13,531
We summarize our experiences
in artistic form.

969
01:19:13,707 --> 01:19:15,369
Ah, beauty.

970
01:19:15,501 --> 01:19:18,460
Art does not show the visible,
but makes visible.

971
01:19:18,629 --> 01:19:21,747
And I say, ugh Deifi.
What kind of nonsense is this?

972
01:19:21,924 --> 01:19:23,836
That's not art.

973
01:19:24,009 --> 01:19:26,877
This is... Hudriwudri. From the Huisnblasi.

974
01:19:27,638 --> 01:19:29,971
In Russia are
the critics full of praise.

975
01:19:30,140 --> 01:19:32,507
Then sneak off to Russia.

976
01:19:32,685 --> 01:19:35,974
Here in Minga the newspaper said,

977
01:19:36,146 --> 01:19:37,603
that you are bunglers.

978
01:19:38,190 --> 01:19:40,352
Cheater. Insane.

979
01:19:40,609 --> 01:19:42,521
And you are here.

980
01:19:47,283 --> 01:19:49,024
(Franz) Out. Out.

981
01:19:49,201 --> 01:19:51,033
- Pfiat eahna.
- Yes, pfiat eahna.

982
01:19:51,203 --> 01:19:54,162
I said,
We could have saved ourselves that, Kenna.

983
01:19:54,331 --> 01:19:57,870
Wassily, please take this
not so heartfelt.

984
01:19:59,670 --> 01:20:01,582
(melancholic music)

985
01:20:32,619 --> 01:20:35,111
(man) I'm glad
that you are in Berlin.

986
01:20:35,289 --> 01:20:37,827
(Münter) Thank you
for the invitation.

987
01:20:38,000 --> 01:20:41,744
After how the people in Munich
reacted to the "Blue Rider",

988
01:20:41,920 --> 01:20:45,789
I think it's very brave what you do
exhibit here in your gallery.

989
01:20:45,966 --> 01:20:47,832
Well, I believe in modern art.

990
01:20:48,010 --> 01:20:51,174
There is for me, and the whole world,
soon nothing else.

991
01:20:51,347 --> 01:20:54,260
Oh, Kandinsky sees it completely differently.

992
01:20:54,433 --> 01:20:57,767
He is after all the shame and malice
first fled to Moscow.

993
01:20:58,020 --> 01:21:00,558
- I'm sorry for that.
- It doesn't have to be, Mr. Walden.

994
01:21:00,731 --> 01:21:02,472
It's not the first time.

995
01:21:02,649 --> 01:21:05,938
In its unpredictability
it is certainly predictable.

996
01:21:06,111 --> 01:21:08,194
He'll definitely come back soon.

997
01:21:08,364 --> 01:21:11,698
However. I'm fine
Nor about him, Miss Münter.

998
01:21:11,825 --> 01:21:14,158
- I care about you.
- About me?

999
01:21:14,703 --> 01:21:16,069
This is new.

1000
01:21:16,330 --> 01:21:19,118
I offer you
a solo exhibition.

1001
01:21:19,833 --> 01:21:21,449
Are you serious?

1002
01:21:22,086 --> 01:21:23,372
Yes.

1003
01:21:23,504 --> 01:21:27,123
Provide a diverse selection
of your works together.

1004
01:21:27,341 --> 01:21:29,333
And all just mine?

1005
01:21:29,593 --> 01:21:31,550
Only from you. Promised.

1006
01:21:39,103 --> 01:21:42,312
Have I promised you too much?
They are thrilled.

1007
01:21:42,481 --> 01:21:46,065
I can't believe it at all.
And they're all here because of me.

1008
01:21:46,652 --> 01:21:48,860
(Walden) There are requests
from Frankfurt,

1009
01:21:49,029 --> 01:21:50,895
Dresden, Stuttgart, Copenhagen.

1010
01:21:51,156 --> 01:21:53,523
And everyone wants it
Exhibit your pictures.

1011
01:21:53,700 --> 01:21:57,364
This is a great triumph, Gabriele.
A really big triumph.

1012
01:21:57,996 --> 01:22:00,659
I absolutely have to
Write to Wassily.

1013
01:22:01,583 --> 01:22:03,245
What else is he doing in Russia?

1014
01:22:03,419 --> 01:22:05,832
Why isn't he here with you
and celebrates you?

1015
01:22:06,004 --> 01:22:09,588
He looks after a rental house,
which was passed down to him by an uncle.

1016
01:22:09,758 --> 01:22:12,876
The income from it
are important for our livelihood.

1017
01:22:13,053 --> 01:22:16,512
Just from selling our pictures
we can hardly survive.

1018
01:22:17,224 --> 01:22:19,511
(quietly) But that
could change soon.

1019
01:22:20,227 --> 01:22:21,934
Excuse me.

1020
01:22:23,730 --> 01:22:27,064
- (Visitor 1) Good evening.
- (Visitor 1) Nice to see you.

1021
01:22:27,234 --> 01:22:29,647
Did you know
that she was born in Berlin?

1022
01:22:29,820 --> 01:22:32,028
(Visitor 2) Now she lives
in Bavaria?

1023
01:22:32,197 --> 01:22:34,905
(Visitor 2) Really talented,
the miss.

1024
01:22:38,203 --> 01:22:39,614
Good evening.

1025
01:22:40,873 --> 01:22:43,365
(appreciative whisper)

1026
01:22:49,173 --> 01:22:51,631
(Visitor 3) I think so
really great.

1027
01:22:53,218 --> 01:22:56,052
(Visitor 3) Her construction
is daring.

1028
01:23:02,019 --> 01:23:04,682
Tell me, are you the artist?

1029
01:23:05,731 --> 01:23:08,439
I have you in your self-portrait
recognized.

1030
01:23:08,609 --> 01:23:10,191
Yes. Yes that's me.

1031
01:23:10,360 --> 01:23:13,148
Great, my love. Quite splendid.

1032
01:23:13,322 --> 01:23:17,942
This great color composition,
this originality.

1033
01:23:18,118 --> 01:23:20,451
I... I'm really excited.

1034
01:23:28,754 --> 01:23:30,666
(exuberant jazz music)

1035
01:23:43,894 --> 01:23:45,806
(music fades away)

1036
01:23:49,441 --> 01:23:50,977
(Münter) <i>Dearest K.</i>

1037
01:23:51,151 --> 01:23:54,144
<i>I feel lonely without you</i>
<i>and I'm worried about you</i>

1038
01:23:54,321 --> 01:23:57,985
<i>and know that I am with you</i>
<i>also feel lonely.</i>

1039
01:23:58,784 --> 01:24:01,367
(door opens)
(Kandinsky) Ella?

1040
01:24:01,537 --> 01:24:03,449
I'm back.

1041
01:24:12,506 --> 01:24:16,841
(Kandinsky) Who would have thought
that it comes to this? War.

1042
01:24:18,011 --> 01:24:20,674
Ella, I have to go back immediately.

1043
01:24:21,557 --> 01:24:24,891
Anja, Alexei and Marianne,
We all have to go back to Russia.

1044
01:24:25,060 --> 01:24:28,599
I'm coming with you.
I don't want to live without you.

1045
01:24:28,855 --> 01:24:30,721
I'd rather die.

1046
01:24:30,899 --> 01:24:32,811
Ella. Ella...

1047
01:24:33,777 --> 01:24:35,188
Ella.

1048
01:24:36,154 --> 01:24:38,362
How naive are you, huh?

1049
01:24:38,532 --> 01:24:42,276
My little elk. You can
don't come with me. You are German.

1050
01:24:44,997 --> 01:24:47,865
Then let's get together
go to Switzerland.

1051
01:24:48,584 --> 01:24:51,873
And then we could together
go to a neutral foreign country.

1052
01:24:52,045 --> 01:24:54,253
To Scandinavia, for example.

1053
01:24:55,048 --> 01:24:57,381
Ella, what should we do?
because in Scandinavia?

1054
01:24:57,551 --> 01:24:59,543
We don't know anyone there.

1055
01:25:01,847 --> 01:25:06,558
Since my exhibition in Copenhagen
I enjoy a high reputation there.

1056
01:25:09,396 --> 01:25:12,264
You know, maybe us
a break is also quite good.

1057
01:25:12,899 --> 01:25:16,063
We've had it for a long time
difficulties with each other.

1058
01:25:16,903 --> 01:25:18,360
Uh.

1059
01:25:19,823 --> 01:25:21,780
Difficulties do you call that?

1060
01:25:22,951 --> 01:25:27,116
I've been married for eleven years
to promise? A family? Children?

1061
01:25:27,289 --> 01:25:29,827
You have been for almost three years
divorced from Anja.

1062
01:25:30,000 --> 01:25:32,458
And you understand that
in trouble?

1063
01:25:32,628 --> 01:25:35,917
Or is it because I now
have my own exhibitions,

1064
01:25:36,089 --> 01:25:39,958
what you, the great painter pope,
so angry and consumed?

1065
01:25:41,511 --> 01:25:42,968
You...

1066
01:25:43,138 --> 01:25:45,972
act childish and simple.

1067
01:25:49,102 --> 01:25:51,389
Will you indulge me?
not my success?

1068
01:25:51,563 --> 01:25:53,555
It's not at all surprising

1069
01:25:53,732 --> 01:25:56,440
that our friends
have a problem with your style.

1070
01:25:56,610 --> 01:25:58,476
Please what?

1071
01:25:58,654 --> 01:26:02,068
Now you take them too
in protection? Marc, Macke, Maria?

1072
01:26:02,240 --> 01:26:05,153
The bad behind my back
gossiped about me,

1073
01:26:05,327 --> 01:26:07,193
just because I defended you?

1074
01:26:07,371 --> 01:26:10,079
I'm pretty good at it
defend yourself, thank you.

1075
01:26:14,044 --> 01:26:15,956
(he sighs)

1076
01:26:16,922 --> 01:26:18,834
You know, in the beginning...

1077
01:26:19,758 --> 01:26:21,499
Everyone liked you very much.

1078
01:26:22,260 --> 01:26:23,922
At the beginning?

1079
01:26:24,596 --> 01:26:26,132
What does that mean now?

1080
01:26:26,264 --> 01:26:29,848
As soon as you don't like something,
are you getting bitchy,

1081
01:26:30,060 --> 01:26:31,926
accusatory, attacking.

1082
01:26:32,062 --> 01:26:33,769
Then you get a migraine

1083
01:26:33,939 --> 01:26:37,273
or another
fake suffering.

1084
01:26:37,442 --> 01:26:41,561
- Maybe it has something to do with you.
- It has nothing to do with me at all.

1085
01:26:41,738 --> 01:26:44,856
Moving in and alone
with your difficult character.

1086
01:26:45,492 --> 01:26:47,859
My difficult character?

1087
01:26:49,454 --> 01:26:50,865
Yes.

1088
01:26:52,374 --> 01:26:54,457
I can hardly stand it anymore either.

1089
01:26:59,840 --> 01:27:01,422
You're mean, Wassily.

1090
01:27:01,591 --> 01:27:04,208
I just became abusive,
when it comes to you,

1091
01:27:04,344 --> 01:27:07,178
was about your art
and there was criticism of you.

1092
01:27:07,305 --> 01:27:10,298
Yes. You said it yourself: abusive.

1093
01:27:11,435 --> 01:27:16,351
This contributed to us only having one
Almanac from the “Blauer Reiter”.

1094
01:27:16,523 --> 01:27:19,186
Better question
the behavior of Mr. Marc.

1095
01:27:19,443 --> 01:27:21,230
- How he treats me.
- Oh, please.

1096
01:27:21,486 --> 01:27:24,445
He always treated me
from above, all of you.

1097
01:27:24,698 --> 01:27:28,157
He criticized my pictures
as unmotivated and shallow.

1098
01:27:28,326 --> 01:27:30,989
I would have the material
not overcome.

1099
01:27:31,163 --> 01:27:34,577
No reason, the whole thing
To bring down “Blue Rider”.

1100
01:27:34,833 --> 01:27:37,200
With your nagging, German way

1101
01:27:37,377 --> 01:27:41,747
Little by little you have poison in the group
scattered and thus decomposed.

1102
01:27:42,591 --> 01:27:46,585
You seriously blame me
the failure of the “Blue Rider”?

1103
01:27:46,762 --> 01:27:48,173
You of all people,

1104
01:27:48,346 --> 01:27:51,089
which does not allow any other opinion
than his.

1105
01:27:51,224 --> 01:27:53,307
The quirk
fled

1106
01:27:53,477 --> 01:27:57,016
with his arrogant,
know-it-all kind.

1107
01:27:57,189 --> 01:27:59,272
You didn't want to continue.

1108
01:27:59,900 --> 01:28:03,359
So don't blame me now
on your alone.

1109
01:28:09,117 --> 01:28:11,109
I did everything for you.

1110
01:28:16,041 --> 01:28:17,703
stood by you.

1111
01:28:19,461 --> 01:28:20,872
defended you.

1112
01:28:23,006 --> 01:28:24,747
Gave you my life.

1113
01:28:30,889 --> 01:28:33,256
Have I ever asked you to do this?

1114
01:28:37,729 --> 01:28:40,813
(door opens, closes)

1115
01:28:50,283 --> 01:28:53,276
Come on, Ella, let's
be good together again.

1116
01:28:54,621 --> 01:28:58,490
We have to decide quickly now
where we can escape.

1117
01:28:58,667 --> 01:29:00,124
Together.

1118
01:29:03,255 --> 01:29:05,167
(dark music)

1119
01:29:06,967 --> 01:29:08,879
(steps approach)

1120
01:29:40,208 --> 01:29:41,619
(man) Be careful.

1121
01:29:45,171 --> 01:29:47,083
(Münter) Wassily.

1122
01:29:50,385 --> 01:29:53,378
(Kandinsky) Macke is dead?
How cruel.

1123
01:29:53,555 --> 01:29:55,012
He was still so young.

1124
01:29:58,268 --> 01:29:59,725
(soldier) day.

1125
01:30:03,982 --> 01:30:06,816
It's got me
assigned to the 11th Infantry Regiment.

1126
01:30:08,069 --> 01:30:11,938
(Kandinsky) All right.
We do everything as discussed.

1127
01:30:12,574 --> 01:30:15,191
You care
about the pictures and the household.

1128
01:30:15,452 --> 01:30:18,445
We write to each other regularly
and see each other again...

1129
01:30:20,790 --> 01:30:22,827
We'll see each other again as soon as possible.

1130
01:30:23,084 --> 01:30:25,167
Yes. Yes I'll do it.

1131
01:30:26,379 --> 01:30:29,338
I will be in Scandinavia
waiting for you.

1132
01:30:29,507 --> 01:30:31,590
You'll come then, okay?

1133
01:30:33,219 --> 01:30:36,178
Nobody knows like this
terrible war ends.

1134
01:30:36,306 --> 01:30:40,596
(Man) <i>Coming soon: Train 125 will depart shortly.</i>

1135
01:30:40,769 --> 01:30:45,855
<i>Please move forward</i>
<i>to platform eight.</i>

1136
01:30:49,486 --> 01:30:50,897
Vasily.

1137
01:30:51,154 --> 01:30:53,692
(sad thoughtful music)

1138
01:31:06,795 --> 01:31:10,288
(Kandinsky) <i>I thought again</i>
<i>to your pictures and annoyed me,</i>

1139
01:31:10,423 --> 01:31:13,086
<i>that you don't</i>
<i>work much more energetically.</i>

1140
01:31:14,636 --> 01:31:16,343
<i>God's spark is in you,</i>

1141
01:31:16,513 --> 01:31:20,257
<i>something so incredibly rare</i>
<i>can be found among the painters.</i>

1142
01:31:31,152 --> 01:31:33,314
<i>Your talent is enough.</i>

1143
01:31:33,947 --> 01:31:37,406
<i>Your swaying line</i>
<i>and the sense of color.</i>

1144
01:31:42,080 --> 01:31:45,448
(sad thoughtful music
continues)

1145
01:32:11,860 --> 01:32:14,773
(melancholic trumpet starts)

1146
01:32:37,677 --> 01:32:39,134
Gunnarsson greets you.

1147
01:32:39,345 --> 01:32:41,962
The sales exhibition
is a complete success.

1148
01:32:42,140 --> 01:32:44,223
The reception in the royal castle...

1149
01:32:44,392 --> 01:32:47,135
Wassily, the Swedes love you.

1150
01:32:48,396 --> 01:32:50,183
I'm so happy that everything,

1151
01:32:50,356 --> 01:32:53,520
what I arranged here for you,
worked so well.

1152
01:32:58,907 --> 01:33:01,695
"This grave is
completely freshly poured...

1153
01:33:03,119 --> 01:33:04,576
firmly fenced.

1154
01:33:07,415 --> 01:33:09,532
There's no cross on it yet...

1155
01:33:10,752 --> 01:33:12,835
but a green wreath lies there,

1156
01:33:13,630 --> 01:33:15,667
where the head of the perfect...

1157
01:33:17,258 --> 01:33:18,669
rests beneath the earth."

1158
01:33:20,136 --> 01:33:21,547
What is that?

1159
01:33:23,431 --> 01:33:26,469
The description
of a war correspondent.

1160
01:33:26,643 --> 01:33:28,555
From the front in France.

1161
01:33:32,065 --> 01:33:35,024
"A soldier sees me
in front of the young hill.

1162
01:33:36,528 --> 01:33:39,487
'He only fell these days',
he says.

1163
01:33:41,032 --> 01:33:42,489
'Who is it then?'

1164
01:33:46,162 --> 01:33:49,746
'His name was Marc,' is the answer.

1165
01:33:51,626 --> 01:33:54,585
He was up
an exploration ride near Verdun.

1166
01:33:55,755 --> 01:33:57,212
It shudders through me.

1167
01:33:58,466 --> 01:33:59,923
'Marc?' I ask.

1168
01:34:01,261 --> 01:34:03,924
'Do you happen to know
what else was he?'

1169
01:34:05,390 --> 01:34:08,098
'Yes. Painter.'

1170
01:34:11,187 --> 01:34:12,894
'And the first name Franz?'

1171
01:34:14,649 --> 01:34:16,060
'Yes.

1172
01:34:17,819 --> 01:34:19,560
Franz."'

1173
01:34:23,491 --> 01:34:25,403
(he sighs)

1174
01:34:28,788 --> 01:34:30,324
(Kandinsky) I, um...

1175
01:34:32,667 --> 01:34:34,829
I have to go back to Moscow, Ella.

1176
01:34:36,588 --> 01:34:40,753
I hoped we could stay here,
until the war is over.

1177
01:34:41,634 --> 01:34:44,047
You said
in Moscow you were paralyzed

1178
01:34:44,220 --> 01:34:46,462
and couldn't do a brush stroke.

1179
01:34:46,639 --> 01:34:49,928
But here you have it immediately
started painting again.

1180
01:34:50,768 --> 01:34:53,181
Yes. Yes, that may be so, but...

1181
01:34:54,939 --> 01:34:56,896
My mother, Anja...

1182
01:34:58,193 --> 01:34:59,855
they are all in Moscow.

1183
01:35:01,154 --> 01:35:02,736
And they need me.

1184
01:35:05,617 --> 01:35:07,108
I need you too.

1185
01:35:11,956 --> 01:35:15,575
I promise you
to come back in late autumn.

1186
01:35:18,004 --> 01:35:21,247
Until then I have
obtained the marriage papers.

1187
01:35:24,052 --> 01:35:25,463
When are you going?

1188
01:35:27,931 --> 01:35:29,092
Today.

1189
01:35:30,016 --> 01:35:31,928
(sad piano music)

1190
01:35:36,397 --> 01:35:37,854
Yes.

1191
01:35:54,290 --> 01:35:56,407
(Danish)

1192
01:35:58,503 --> 01:35:59,459
Nice.

1193
01:35:59,629 --> 01:36:03,373
I am so grateful to you
for this assignment, Ms. Roslund.

1194
01:36:03,549 --> 01:36:07,042
- I really wouldn't know otherwise...
- It's my pleasure.

1195
01:36:07,220 --> 01:36:09,758
I will be happy to recommend you.

1196
01:36:09,931 --> 01:36:13,095
But with all your exhibitions
you don't need that at all.

1197
01:36:13,351 --> 01:36:16,014
You are here now
a celebrity.

1198
01:36:19,649 --> 01:36:21,811
Oh, you have my nature

1199
01:36:21,943 --> 01:36:25,152
in all my melancholy
aptly captured.

1200
01:36:25,321 --> 01:36:27,688
Well, you are an artist like me.

1201
01:36:28,283 --> 01:36:31,651
With words, not with a brush,
but the way I know you,

1202
01:36:31,828 --> 01:36:34,411
I think
we have the same opinion:

1203
01:36:34,580 --> 01:36:38,164
Without respect for people
no true portrait is possible.

1204
01:36:38,418 --> 01:36:41,206
Neither in painting
still in the seal.

1205
01:36:41,838 --> 01:36:43,875
That's probably correct.

1206
01:36:49,512 --> 01:36:50,969
Talk about respect.

1207
01:36:51,848 --> 01:36:55,512
Still have nothing
Heard about your husband from Russia?

1208
01:36:55,685 --> 01:36:59,429
No. No. He is considered missing.

1209
01:37:00,064 --> 01:37:03,899
I sent over a wanted report
the whereabouts of missing people in Moscow.

1210
01:37:05,653 --> 01:37:09,021
I pray every day that we
can be together again soon.

1211
01:37:11,534 --> 01:37:12,945
And Jawlensky?

1212
01:37:13,661 --> 01:37:16,904
All I know is that he is Marianne
left for a younger woman.

1213
01:37:17,081 --> 01:37:19,198
After all,
what she did for him,

1214
01:37:19,459 --> 01:37:21,200
artistically and financially.

1215
01:37:22,545 --> 01:37:26,505
Marianne also went through the war
lost almost all of their assets.

1216
01:37:34,557 --> 01:37:36,014
Mrs. Roslund.

1217
01:37:39,645 --> 01:37:43,184
It may be that the Scandinavians
appreciate my art, but...

1218
01:37:45,818 --> 01:37:49,061
but the exhibitions
bring in very few sales.

1219
01:37:49,655 --> 01:37:52,272
Do you want an advance?
on my portrait?

1220
01:37:56,162 --> 01:37:57,573
No problem.

1221
01:37:59,248 --> 01:38:00,659
Thank you.

1222
01:38:22,939 --> 01:38:24,851
(relaxed music)

1223
01:38:38,788 --> 01:38:40,780
Embassy of the Russian...

1224
01:38:45,711 --> 01:38:48,704
"Formal confirmation, June 1918.

1225
01:38:48,881 --> 01:38:51,339
The death of
Mr. Wassily Kandinsky was able to...

1226
01:38:52,635 --> 01:38:55,378
couldn't be clear
be stated."

1227
01:38:56,180 --> 01:38:57,637
Oh, he's alive.

1228
01:38:58,307 --> 01:39:01,220
He's alive, I...
I certainly feel it.

1229
01:39:01,853 --> 01:39:04,186
My Wassily. Experienced!

1230
01:39:04,355 --> 01:39:08,224
He lives, he lives, he lives.
My Wassily. You... you're alive.

1231
01:39:11,404 --> 01:39:13,646
We'll see each other again soon.

1232
01:39:13,781 --> 01:39:16,694
Vasily,
we will see each other again soon.

1233
01:39:39,223 --> 01:39:41,385
(Kandinsky) <i>She is looking for me.</i>

1234
01:39:41,559 --> 01:39:43,721
<i>But I want to</i>
<i>be dead for Germany.</i>

1235
01:39:43,895 --> 01:39:45,636
<i>And for Gabriele Münter.</i>

1236
01:39:46,731 --> 01:39:49,314
<i>I beg you, Walden,</i>
<i>don't tell her under any circumstances</i>

1237
01:39:49,484 --> 01:39:51,942
<i>that I am alive</i>
<i>and we have contact.</i>

1238
01:39:52,111 --> 01:39:53,568
<i>Not yet.</i>

1239
01:39:54,030 --> 01:39:55,896
<i>Greetings, Kandinsky.</i>

1240
01:40:00,077 --> 01:40:03,570
That bastard. For four years
I haven't heard anything from him.

1241
01:40:03,831 --> 01:40:06,949
Where was he? What does he have?
driven all the time?

1242
01:40:07,126 --> 01:40:10,836
He is married.
A Russian woman from a good family.

1243
01:40:11,088 --> 01:40:14,923
He is an arts official for
the Soviet Ministry of Culture.

1244
01:40:15,092 --> 01:40:17,675
And they have a little son.

1245
01:40:19,305 --> 01:40:21,763
(quietly) Please... Please what?

1246
01:40:25,186 --> 01:40:27,678
How often has he given me
promised marriage?

1247
01:40:27,855 --> 01:40:31,098
(loudly) Plays dead,
died in the Russian Civil War,

1248
01:40:31,359 --> 01:40:35,069
just so I don't have to tell myself
that he is tired of me?

1249
01:40:35,238 --> 01:40:37,446
- This coward!
- Miss Münter...

1250
01:40:37,615 --> 01:40:39,777
My name is Ms. Münter-Kandinsky.

1251
01:40:40,034 --> 01:40:42,071
So call me that too.

1252
01:40:42,328 --> 01:40:46,163
I'm just helping Kandinsky,
to bring order into his possession.

1253
01:40:46,332 --> 01:40:49,746
I just want to know how many
his pictures were sold,

1254
01:40:50,002 --> 01:40:52,335
where are the proceeds
and remaining works are.

1255
01:40:52,463 --> 01:40:55,797
This pig. This pig!

1256
01:40:55,967 --> 01:40:59,085
When I got too old for him,
he just disappeared

1257
01:40:59,303 --> 01:41:03,547
lost and decayed,
to build a new life.

1258
01:41:03,808 --> 01:41:06,095
That cretin! Cossack!

1259
01:41:06,352 --> 01:41:09,345
He wants his tools
for woodcuts and etchings,

1260
01:41:09,605 --> 01:41:12,393
his palettes for oil and tempera,

1261
01:41:12,567 --> 01:41:15,105
his old bike,
the portrait of his mother,

1262
01:41:15,278 --> 01:41:17,520
two pictures by Henri Rousseau,

1263
01:41:17,697 --> 01:41:22,442
six Chinese sculptures,
his clothes and his linen.

1264
01:41:22,618 --> 01:41:26,532
Aha. Would he like to have the house straight away?
and sit on the street?

1265
01:41:26,664 --> 01:41:28,781
He just wants what is rightfully his.

1266
01:41:32,420 --> 01:41:36,630
May I say something personal?
say on the topic? My opinion?

1267
01:41:37,883 --> 01:41:41,047
Hm? Yes. It doesn't matter either.

1268
01:41:44,098 --> 01:41:47,762
Mr. Kandinsky followed suit
strong intoxication sobers up on you.

1269
01:41:47,935 --> 01:41:49,847
This happens a lot with men.

1270
01:41:50,021 --> 01:41:52,388
You should learn
to accept that.

1271
01:42:02,783 --> 01:42:05,526
And because men
consider this normal...

1272
01:42:06,412 --> 01:42:09,280
should we women
Just swallow that?

1273
01:42:09,874 --> 01:42:14,164
Seduced, used and thrown away,
when the flowering period is over?

1274
01:42:15,588 --> 01:42:17,045
No.

1275
01:42:17,465 --> 01:42:20,208
Before he doesn't
makes a guilty plea,

1276
01:42:20,343 --> 01:42:23,086
in which he confirms to me
that he met me as a young woman

1277
01:42:23,220 --> 01:42:26,213
with false promises
has tied to himself,

1278
01:42:27,099 --> 01:42:30,809
me without rights and name
let him live next to him

1279
01:42:30,978 --> 01:42:33,140
and assured me again and again

1280
01:42:33,314 --> 01:42:36,807
that he was a man of honor
keeps his promises,

1281
01:42:37,526 --> 01:42:39,518
he doesn't get anything in return.

1282
01:42:41,447 --> 01:42:42,938
Now get out of here.

1283
01:42:44,325 --> 01:42:45,987
Get out of my house!

1284
01:42:58,339 --> 01:43:00,797
I'll pass it on. Good day.

1285
01:43:07,014 --> 01:43:08,926
(clink)

1286
01:43:14,605 --> 01:43:16,392
(quietly) This pig.

1287
01:43:22,071 --> 01:43:23,983
(she screams)

1288
01:43:25,700 --> 01:43:29,319
Nina, nice to meet you.
I've heard a lot of good things

1289
01:43:30,996 --> 01:43:34,205
Thank you, Mr. Klee, but I'm holding
my husband's back,

1290
01:43:34,375 --> 01:43:37,334
so that he himself
can develop artistically.

1291
01:43:37,461 --> 01:43:39,828
Yes, she just knows how to deal with me.

1292
01:43:41,257 --> 01:43:43,169
(she sobs)

1293
01:43:43,300 --> 01:43:45,838
Well, my art
is now in service

1294
01:43:46,011 --> 01:43:48,469
Lenin's ideological education.

1295
01:43:49,306 --> 01:43:51,013
Please.

1296
01:43:53,728 --> 01:43:56,562
And to Berlin
they even sent me

1297
01:43:56,731 --> 01:44:00,145
about the exhibition
Accompany Moscow artists.

1298
01:44:00,401 --> 01:44:03,735
Otherwise it would be Soviet
Ministry of Culture distrust me.

1299
01:44:03,946 --> 01:44:06,404
A terrible development.
Outrageous.

1300
01:44:06,657 --> 01:44:09,491
Yes. Who are you telling this to?
Thanks.

1301
01:44:10,703 --> 01:44:13,821
In the past, people appreciated it
my art in Russia

1302
01:44:13,998 --> 01:44:15,910
and mocked them in Germany.

1303
01:44:16,083 --> 01:44:19,076
Today it applies at home
as uprooted,

1304
01:44:19,253 --> 01:44:21,586
reminiscent of deformities.

1305
01:44:23,966 --> 01:44:25,753
(Münter) <i>Dear Marianne.</i>

1306
01:44:25,926 --> 01:44:28,634
<i>Now he is</i>
<i>returned to Germany.</i>

1307
01:44:28,804 --> 01:44:30,215
<i>With a new wife.</i>

1308

1309
01:44:37,772 --> 01:44:40,355
<i>His little son died.</i>
<i>I don't care.</i>

1310
01:44:41,484 --> 01:44:42,850
<i>That he had a child</i>

1311
01:44:43,068 --> 01:44:45,856
<i>can't be lucky,</i>

1312
01:44:46,030 --> 01:44:48,488
<i>What he did to me.</i>

1313
01:44:48,741 --> 01:44:51,575
<i>For this he now receives</i>
<i>his just punishment.</i>

1314
01:44:52,161 --> 01:44:54,574
I teach at a new art school.

1315
01:44:54,789 --> 01:44:56,997
At the State Bauhaus in Weimar.

1316
01:44:57,166 --> 01:45:00,455
It's great there.
Most modern architecture.

1317
01:45:01,128 --> 01:45:04,587
Well, I'm happy for you,
dear Paul.

1318
01:45:04,757 --> 01:45:07,215
Vasily,
Walter Gropius, the director,

1319
01:45:07,426 --> 01:45:10,885
I really want you
win as a lecturer for form theory.

1320
01:45:11,055 --> 01:45:13,138
Art, design, craft

1321
01:45:13,265 --> 01:45:15,257
should be merged.

1322
01:45:15,434 --> 01:45:19,018
That's what you were for
always been open. Unite everything.

1323
01:45:19,939 --> 01:45:22,147
(Münter) <i>He wants his things back.</i>

1324
01:45:22,316 --> 01:45:25,275
<i>His clothes,</i>
<i>his household, his pictures.</i>

1325
01:45:26,445 --> 01:45:30,280
<i>But whoever has a new life,</i>
<i>likes to buy new underwear.</i>

1326
01:45:32,076 --> 01:45:35,615
What, uh...
What exactly would be my job?

1327
01:45:35,788 --> 01:45:37,780
You should make your theory more constructive

1328
01:45:37,957 --> 01:45:41,246
and aspects of gestalt psychology
incorporate.

1329
01:45:41,418 --> 01:45:43,751
One offers you
a lectureship starting in June.

1330
01:45:44,380 --> 01:45:46,793
Gropius will
come by in person.

1331
01:45:46,966 --> 01:45:49,049
Uh. So, this...

1332
01:45:50,261 --> 01:45:52,548
That sounds very interesting.

1333
01:45:54,348 --> 01:45:55,930
(Russian)

1334
01:46:04,233 --> 01:46:07,442
Then judge
please, gentlemen,

1335
01:46:07,695 --> 01:46:09,778
that it would be an honor for me.

1336
01:46:09,947 --> 01:46:13,190
But please tell me otherwise
nobody about our plans.

1337
01:46:13,367 --> 01:46:16,155
Above all, not
where I am at the moment.

1338
01:46:16,328 --> 01:46:20,322
Well, you know why.
She still bothers me.

1339
01:46:21,625 --> 01:46:26,086
(Münter) <i>The deserter has that</i>
<i>Right to previous property lost.</i>

1340
01:46:26,755 --> 01:46:30,499
<i>What I said to Kandinsky</i>
<i>give new life and the new woman,</i>

1341
01:46:30,676 --> 01:46:32,258
<i>I'll give this to him.</i>

1342
01:46:32,928 --> 01:46:34,669
<i>He has nothing to demand.</i>

1343
01:46:37,057 --> 01:46:38,969
(slow jazz music)

1344
01:46:56,243 --> 01:46:58,610
(Jazz music becomes more intense)

1345
01:47:17,890 --> 01:47:19,802
(deep, threatening tone)

1346
01:47:27,650 --> 01:47:29,061
You bastard.

1347
01:47:29,318 --> 01:47:31,935
You...
(she spits several times)

1348
01:47:32,196 --> 01:47:34,108
(she screams)

1349
01:47:43,832 --> 01:47:46,245
(she moans in pain)

1350
01:48:18,701 --> 01:48:21,614
Ella, this can't continue like this.

1351
01:48:28,168 --> 01:48:31,912
- Should I notify Emmy?
- No. Stop it.

1352
01:48:33,757 --> 01:48:36,750
A person who has no ground
has under his feet,

1353
01:48:37,386 --> 01:48:39,173
How should he march?

1354
01:48:52,151 --> 01:48:54,143
Do you know who could help you?

1355
01:48:54,319 --> 01:48:57,733
This priest with whom you...
you've already been. John Müller.

1356
01:48:57,865 --> 01:48:59,777
That was really good for you.

1357
01:49:01,577 --> 01:49:05,491
Powerlessness and hate are twins,
that I can't get rid of anymore.

1358
01:49:11,712 --> 01:49:13,169
Susala...

1359
01:49:15,507 --> 01:49:17,715
I have after 14 years
of being together

1360
01:49:17,885 --> 01:49:20,844
not a personal one,
deserves an open discussion?

1361
01:49:23,140 --> 01:49:27,134
The fine gentleman, now
teaches at the State Bauhaus,

1362
01:49:27,311 --> 01:49:29,018
appointed by Walter Gropius,

1363
01:49:29,146 --> 01:49:32,014
treats me
like the last piece of dirt.

1364
01:49:33,442 --> 01:49:35,149
He'll be sorry for that.

1365
01:49:36,862 --> 01:49:38,603
He'll be sorry for that.

1366
01:49:43,744 --> 01:49:45,656
(she sobs)

1367
01:49:58,300 --> 01:50:00,508
(birds chirping)

1368
01:50:19,947 --> 01:50:21,779
Please excuse me.

1369
01:50:24,660 --> 01:50:27,448
<i>Mr Müller,</i>
<i>I don't know what to do anymore.</i>

1370
01:50:28,831 --> 01:50:30,288
Sometimes...

1371
01:50:32,876 --> 01:50:36,540
Sometimes I feel like this
like... I was already dead.

1372
01:50:39,216 --> 01:50:41,799
He has a new life, and I...

1373
01:50:45,097 --> 01:50:46,963
Not only do I have him, but...

1374
01:50:47,683 --> 01:50:50,721
a lot of mine too
intuitive creativity lost.

1375
01:50:51,728 --> 01:50:54,436
Miss Münter, I would like to see you

1376
01:50:54,606 --> 01:50:57,849
to be in harmony with yourself and the world
lead back.

1377
01:50:58,777 --> 01:51:01,144
For us it's about interaction

1378
01:51:01,321 --> 01:51:04,655
of the personal
and communal life.

1379
01:51:04,783 --> 01:51:08,402
To the silence of nature,
but also about music.

1380
01:51:08,579 --> 01:51:09,990
And dance.

1381
01:51:11,123 --> 01:51:12,534
Hmm.

1382
01:51:15,878 --> 01:51:18,370
(passionate string music)

1383
01:51:20,424 --> 01:51:23,292
(String music sounds
via record)

1384
01:51:42,070 --> 01:51:43,982
(string music fades away)

1385
01:51:46,992 --> 01:51:48,904
(applause)

1386
01:51:50,078 --> 01:51:51,535
Miss Münter.

1387
01:51:54,249 --> 01:51:56,616
As I see,
you're feeling better now.

1388
01:51:56,793 --> 01:52:00,878
Well, as long as I'm here
among people and distracted.

1389
01:52:01,673 --> 01:52:04,416
But I'm afraid
from everyday life out there.

1390
01:52:04,593 --> 01:52:07,427
I'm very scared
before being alone.

1391
01:52:07,596 --> 01:52:10,714
Is there no one
where you can go?

1392
01:52:10,891 --> 01:52:14,134
Who helps you
to preserve what has been achieved here?

1393
01:52:17,981 --> 01:52:20,519
- (Emmy) Glad you're with us.
- Yes.

1394
01:52:21,318 --> 01:52:23,355
Where are Friedel and Mückchen?

1395
01:52:23,946 --> 01:52:25,528
(Emmy) At a friend's house.

1396
01:52:25,697 --> 01:52:29,065
How are they supposed to know
that her aunt suddenly shows up?

1397
01:52:29,243 --> 01:52:31,860
I...
I no longer have the means

1398
01:52:32,037 --> 01:52:34,120
constantly traveling back and forth.

1399
01:52:36,458 --> 01:52:41,044
I wouldn't have come if Georg
would have continued to send me money.

1400
01:52:41,213 --> 01:52:43,330
But that's what I was left with
nothing else left.

1401
01:52:43,465 --> 01:52:46,333
Now do us
but not responsible.

1402
01:52:46,593 --> 01:52:48,380
You would have with your qualities

1403
01:52:48,553 --> 01:52:51,637
a much more decent man
can find.

1404
01:52:51,807 --> 01:52:53,844
Same old story again, Emmy?

1405
01:52:55,435 --> 01:53:00,146
I never wanted yours
Professor's Wife Coffee Chat Life.

1406
01:53:00,399 --> 01:53:02,812
Even if I
no matter how poor and lonely I remain.

1407
01:53:04,111 --> 01:53:07,149
You can't do Georg forever either
lying on the bag.

1408
01:53:11,034 --> 01:53:15,369
Don't you have any pictures of Kandinsky?
You can turn them into money.

1409
01:53:20,752 --> 01:53:22,209
Never.

1410
01:53:51,074 --> 01:53:53,942
(melancholic trumpet melody)

1411
01:54:23,732 --> 01:54:26,600
(melancholic melody continues)

1412
01:54:53,470 --> 01:54:55,382
(she sighs)

1413
01:55:05,482 --> 01:55:08,350
(melancholic melody continues)

1414
01:55:26,169 --> 01:55:28,081
(she sighs)
