Original subtitles

Yes, yes.

Yes, I have a treat, man.

Of course.

After all, this project needs just a fresh perspective.

Spacious closet?

Operator? Operator?

The minibar.

Damn, damn, damn.

My sister has a wooden leg.

It's me.

It screws off.

Where was I?

Everyone entitled to a few.

The toilet.

Yes, yes. This is comeback material.

Positively comeback material.

Of course I wish your head would do the same.

What did you say?

The spa closes at six, sir.

There is something else? No, not to you, to the guy.

Well, would you mind, sir? Your movies have been so inspirational.

Ciao, thank you. I look for it, okay?

Okay.

Thank you again. Enjoy your stay, Mr. Nanzio.

Grazie.

Narciso Matadori.

Narciso Matadori.

Narciso Matadori. Narciso Matadori.

I don't fucking care if fucking paint is wet.

Truck that over to stage nine. Come on.

Fucking lazy asshole.

Hey, sweetie.

Oh, hey, honey. How is it going?

Oh, you know, I wish the director would make up his goddamn mind.

We have talked the set around three times since Monday.

Oh. You know, we could use the overtime.

The rent is due.

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Who's your friend here?

Oh, I'm sorry.

Narciso, this is Claudia.

Client. She was just cast as a mistress.

So, is it a nice part?

Yes, it is.

Why, you haven't read the script?

Well, I just need to know the site description.

Nothing else. I'm going to know the directory, right?

Conchisa is the head carpenter. He swings the hammer and the canoe jumps.

I'll bet.

I am a little bit nervous.

This is my first speaking role.

Come on. You will do great, I'm sure.

Anyways, guys, I've got to run. Be speedy and turn around.

Ciao, people.

Ghost of pleasure, pal.

Ghost yourself.

You haven't tried everything.

You haven't got everything.

Can I ask you a question?

Yes.

Why are you so... So what?

Cynical.

Listen, I spend half of my day building stuff, the other half tearing them down.

I'm not cynical, I'm just realistic.

Well, maybe you should start thinking about doing something a little bit more

permanent. I do, I do. My side business is restoring classic

architecture.

Really? Yeah. Like what?

Let's say...

At this moment, I'm working away to get your phone number without coming off

like a total asshole.

You don't waste much time, do you? No.

Time is the most valuable thing that a man can spend.

Well, let me warn you.

I have very expensive tastes.

Everywhere?

Wait a minute.

What about your wife?

Oh, it's okay.

With my wife, it's okay.

We have an arrangement.

We have an arrangement.

guys like you. I don't care what kind of fucking arrangement you have with your

wife.

Fuck you.

Not fucking you.

You.

Yes?

Hi Nikita.

No, no, no, no. Two minutes. I will be done. Just give me two minutes. Don't

come out.

Okay?

Stands, bands, tourists.

Properly beautiful.

Thanks, it's the last festival.

Why, so you can go home to your wife.

I want us to last forever.

We will, we will. But not playing tag at every airport. From Sao Paulo to Milan.

You're so beautiful.

Always more beautiful.

What's the matter, my love?

Are you tired of the games around?

Yeah. No, me? Tired of the games? Me?

Me? Look at you.

Talk later.

Don't ask me that two times.

So what's so important I couldn't wait?

Oh, shit.

My wife, she called. She wanted to come in.

This hotel?

Jesus, when did you find out about this?

Come on, baby.

We have all morning, all night.

Come on.

What's my motivation?

You are mad now?

Yeah. Oh, you are mad?

You're getting mad. Let me see what you do when you're getting mad.

Really mad?

You are getting really nasty, huh?

Come on, fuck me.

Fuck me, come on.

Like a nasty little one. Oh, yeah.

Oh.

Oh.

Oh, yeah,

baby.

You're the one

Oh, yeah.

You came down now?

You want me to really fuck your ass or what?

Are you still mad?

You still mad?

Until I fuck your ass?

What?

Oh, yeah.

Oh, yeah, come on, fuck me.

Come on, what are you waiting for? What are you waiting for?

You're the only one who will fuck me over the head now. Come on.

Oh,

yeah. Come on.

Fuck me, come on.

Fuck me.

Oh, yeah.

Nice.

Nice, yeah.

Fuck me now.

Fuck me now.

Come on.

Fuck me.

Yeah.

Yes, yes, yes, yes.

Yes, yes,

yes. Come on, don't move, don't move, don't move, don't move. Relax, relax,

don't move.

Don't move, don't move. I feel your ass now. It feels so wet. So wet, it's

beautiful. Come on, don't move, nasty.

Look, she gets wet.

Yes, yes, open your legs. That's what I'm saying.

Yes, keep him, keep him.

Yeah, that's nice.

Oh, yeah.

Oh, yeah.

Oh, yeah, nasty.

Yeah, nasty.

Oh, yeah.

Yes.

Oh, fuck, I'm coming, baby.

Oh, yeah.

Oh, God.

Thank you. Your earliest work.

A short film of 1984?

You exhibited a self -confidence that I haven't seen since.

What happened?

Nothing you ever print is true to me.

You will end up like everyone else.

Self -absorbed.

Bellissima. Oh, no. Please.

No, no, no.

I'm tired.

I'm tired.

You need to listen to me. There'll be plenty of time for the questions at the

retrospective, people. Mr. Nunn, you need some quiet time away.

Thank you.

Oh, you are so commanding and efficient, Andrea.

The best ex -wife you will ever have, darling.

What about Claudia? She's still on her way?

All the things in good time.

Just so you know, the studio is threatening to shoot another ending.

It's not going with the fucking wind.

They are the ones who cut down the budget.

Damn it.

Well, the response cards say you did not resolve at the climax.

Response card?

Response card?

Did Van Gogh receive a response card?

Did he? Not even respond.

What happened to your eye?

What eye?

You have a black eye.

You have a black eye.

It's fine.

I feel good.

I feel good.

I love it too, baby. I feel good.

I just want to do something more dangerous, you know, something.

For what purpose?

And why would people want to hear that they are not so good, potent, rich, or

pretty?

Helping them hide from themselves, that's your job.

Alco's trouble.

You already are in trouble.

This wine is in trouble.

I'm joking. I was just joking. I always make these stupid jokes.

Offer to fix it quick before they take it out of your hands.

I mean, I'm almost ready to close the deal for an independent fisher

with European financing.

Who's the backer?

Hello?

Who's the backer?

I will meet them here at the festival tomorrow.

Yeah, when were you going to tell me about it?

Well, if the deal is worth brokering, you will be the first one to know about

it, Miss Manager.

Where to?

I don't know.

Where are we? I don't know where you are.

I used to.

Germany and France and Italy.

What fucking difference does it make?

Hey, I'm from France.

Great. Congratulations.

Look, I'm sorry.

It's been a really long day.

What part of France?

Nice, near the coast.

You know it? Isn't that near Caen?

Yeah.

Ladies, have you been there?

I have.

About six years ago.

It was wonderful.

It took me years to restore the theater into its former glory.

Really?

What was the hardest part?

That's relief.

Relief? Yeah.

Some of that goes into a raked form.

Like, once they start to get eroded, it's almost impossible to restore it.

Kind of like Andrea?

Yeah, like Andrea.

Well, you must be a miracle worker.

Pizza?

for a queen.

It became too big. Too fucking big.

You don't like it anymore?

Oh, God.

Yeah. You want my tummy a bit? Come. Give me. Come on, baby.

Oh, yeah.

Oh, yeah.

Oh, yeah.

Oh, yeah.

Oh, yeah, I love to see it like that. Yeah, let me see.

Do I know you?

Yeah. You're an actress, right?

Wait a minute.

Original team.

Am I right?

Yeah. I'm right.

Wow. But not quite a big enough star for you to remember my name. It's pretty

much the story of my life.

Always the supporting role.

Never the lead.

I don't see why.

You've got the looks.

Thanks.

So you've seen Original Sin.

What'd you think?

Mostly I remember the woman.

Not so much the movie.

Man, if I had loved my cheese, I would have heard that.

He's my husband.

Mr. Big Shot Director.

I was your husband. I will not let you ride in at night in a cab like that.

Why?

Is it dangerous?

Can be.

Well maybe I prefer it that way.

I think that you don't know what you want.

Is that a fact?

Pull the car over.

Hey, how'd you come in?

All it takes is... But you have to be careful what you buy.

I know I can surprise you. I can't even surprise myself anymore.

You would like to watch me and my husband, isn't it?

What I know it would be if you just, you know, eat my little wife's pussy

while we make love, of course. I don't even know if my own wife would be so

brother -minded.

Oh, please, please, please.

I hate you, please.

Hey, hey, what about the picture with all of us? Okay?

I don't think so. No, I don't think so. Oh, come on. You never know what can end

up on the internet.

Hey, I got my own website.

Oh, congratulations.

I

like

this.

Oh, sure.

Don't sound sure.

What do you have to say?

He's not directing me.

Hey, hey, hey, listen.

This is your fantasy, not his.

Come on, give the game a break.

What side are you on, anyway?

Baby, please.

Hey, everything all right in there?

Yeah, okay, okay, come in.

Yes, settle down.

I'm really sorry that your wife, she's really flat.

Put this on medic, put this on medic, please.

Put this on medic, come on.

Come on.

Oh, fuck you. Oh, yeah, baby.

Oh, yeah.

Oh, yeah.

Oh, yeah.

She's very nice, you know.

Oh, yeah.

Oh, God, yeah.

Yes, yes.

Yeah.

Oh, yes, yes.

Look at this beautiful baby.

Beautiful.

Beautiful. So beautiful.

Oh, you didn't even tell me your name.

You didn't even tell me your name. Nice day.

No, you can't fucking come here, then.

Huh? You want to suck my dick? Nice to meet you.

I can lick your pussy, huh? Yeah.

Oh,

my God.

Come on. Oh, fuck.

Oh, yeah.

Oh, yes.

Oh, God, yeah.

Oh, yeah.

She's unbelievable.

Isn't it?

Please, let me lick your pussy. At least let me lick your pussy, please.

You're a pussy, baby. Yeah.

So, Mr. Narciso, are you like my wife?

Are you fucking like my wife?

Come here, darling.

Come here, sweetie.

Come here.

Insulting my wife for? I didn't mean to insult her. It was just such a surprise.

What? A surprise?

And now you're calling her abnormal or what?

No, it's not true.

We've been waiting for you.

And what do you do?

I read.

Read what?

I read minds.

I don't understand why you are interested in me.

Because you are having trouble with this dream you call your life.

And it could be so great.

If what?

If you could just learn to get out of the way. Me?

But I'm the me who brings those dreams into life.

Sure.

Who else?

Want to find out?

Oh.

Oh.

After you.

Now that we have our guest of this honor, will birth the show.

The wheel of fortune turns, it ever revolves, and the only thing that can

it is the death of the sun.

But while it burns, it burns within us.

Cheezo. Not Cheezo. Not Cheezo.

Not Cheezo. Not Cheezo. Not Cheezo. Not Cheezo. Not Cheezo.

I see black holes.

I see tunnels.

A lot of darkness.

I thought you were ear to ear.

I'm sorry. Mostly I see exhaustion.

Just blank exhaustion.

I'm sorry. It's my curse.

I have to tell you what I see.

Do you know when the eye ceases to be hungry?

When it's buried, when it's dead.

So to live your dream, open your eyes.

It is yours, someone.

I don't know what that is.

Oh!

Thank you.

Okay.

That's what I was saying.

Thank you.

oh oh

You will never find yourself here.

You have done all this before.

Try something new.

I could make documentaries.

Documentarians doesn't tell the truth either.

Nothing does.

It's too immense for somebody as close as you.

I like to push forward, not pull back.

I had a rough night.

I guess so.

Is this really your last film?

No, no.

You seem exhausted.

Only the one like you ever exhausts me.

When will you admit that your bag of tricks is empty?

That your illusions of grandeur are nothing more than desperation?

Come on, we cannot be alive.

My wife. My beautiful actress wife.

You look like shit warmed over.

You know, the studio is stepping all over his last project.

We'll have to do something about it quick.

What do you mean, we?

I found the cure.

But not in time to save my precious.

You should cut more, Dr. Jackson.

You did the best you could.

Claudia, you have to stop with your paranoid fantasy.

I mean, I swear to God, I'm not hitting on you. I need you.

Hey, you're my first love.

Do you understand?

My first love.

You need me.

You make me all.

You're beautiful.

How did you come to do the casting in Original Sin?

Was Andrea still your wife then? Do you marry all your leading ladies?

Does watching them on screen excite you? I cast the most beautiful creatures

that I can find.

You consider yourself a realist or a romantic?

Come on, romantic.

Emphasis on text.

Another critic once said, the audience left me. But the truth, I left the

audience. But I have an announcement to make.

Is this scripted?

Nope. During my latest work in progress, and I decided to reshoot the ending

here at the festival.

If he doesn't give me a bigger part, it's his fault.

The one is because I really think I need to find something more deep, something

which gives me more energy.

So I think I have great ideas.

Surely this must be some publicity stunt to glorify a celluloid ghost.

You know, you're supposed to have him on a leash.

Is this to be a serious new face more personally rewarding than your erotic

thrillers? I prefer your earlier dirty movies.

management?

We have a massage, sir.

Oh, speak of massage.

More talk than barbers.

Mud.

What's the mud? Mud bath.

Mud. Dirty.

Oh, that sounds good. And dirty.

Yes. Hook me up.

Here for the festival?

I know who you are. And you already saw me.

Where?

Paris last week.

Wasn't there.

Take New York?

Too far.

Too hot in the summer.

I'm here to meet someone.

Business or pleasure?

Business. I represent a private investor.

Oh, so you are here to meet me.

Yes, Mr. Nontio.

Please, Narciso.

I know.

And you are?

Amy.

I was wanted an Amy.

Over dinner?

Certainly.

It's 8 .30 in the cocktail bar.

what you've got is business.

You know what.

You've lost your compass.

And that, you're rather.

Claudia, what is your local crew and camera packaging vibration

with time?

Peel the cream, revive the dream.

Riddles. Always riddles.

Oh, Claudia.

My wife.

Listen, I'm in the middle of... What

are you doing?

Where are you?

Miss Nunzio, I represent an independent investor.

This interruption could cost your husband not only this deal, but you,

in line.

Claudia!

Sorry, give me a moment.

I already am. Are you going to take advantage of it or should I start

for another director?

Okay, my new idea is for a documentary about pornography.

What's interesting to me is what makes the people horny. You must understand

these people fuck for money.

Do you know what is the best thing? They do it and they don't need to justify it

to anybody else.

Come on, many million people watch porn.

Do we have a date?

Let's close this deal Please let's put

this deal to bed

Oh, it's my cock.

It's my cock.

Oh, yes.

Oh, yes. Oh, beautiful.

Oh, beautiful.

Yes.

It's funny.

Who are you?

Well, let's just say I have been on a few sets in my time.

Hey.

You're the director.

That may seem director.

Nice to meet you. And you work for

a studio?

Yes, but I'm about to go independent now. In our world, we call them suitcase

pimps. Oh, suitcase pimps?

Well, despite the reputation,

Perhaps your line of work is more honest than mine.

I don't know about that, but... We both are... Slashes?

Slashes, yes.

I understand, like, writer slash, director slash, producer slash.

Yes. No.

I mean, star -slashy fuckers. Oh, fuck. Star -slashy fuckers. That's great.

Star -slashy fuckers. Star -slashy fuckers. Hey, hey. Forget it. You have

creative autonomy?

Have you ever think about that, to cross from mainstream to adult

cinema? You mean pornography?

Adult cinema.

Well, maybe.

Think about it.

Maybe. Think about it.

Star -slash -y fuckers.

Star -slash -y fuckers, man. That's great.

I'm sorry, baby, but it's too cold, you see.

Very, very cold.

Maybe tomorrow.

It's too fucking cold out here.

So you think if we fix the cold that you wouldn't have the problem?

Okay,

go get warm.

Come in.

I'll fix it.

You. I know you.

Well, I'm here just for the documentary.

Nice to meet you. Nice to meet you. My honor. I was told that someone was

to shoot a documentary. I have some problems, as you can see. Well, yeah, I

I mean, you know, everything looks good, just... I didn't mean to offend your

work. Of course, it's your work. You are the maestro, but give a look.

It's what I have done.

Let me see. Let me see.

I mean, give a look. What is my point of view? I don't know what you're getting

in the camera. This is better than what we have shot. You would like to try?

Of what, sorry? I have another scene. I have not been able to make this scene

work twice. Would you like to try?

Well, it would be very interesting to me. This is your moment.

Time has come. The set is yours. It is all yours.

Can I talk to the actors?

I think I give two pages of dialogue too much.

Only crap. This whole thing doesn't make sense to me. I mean, it only makes

sense if you guys give me some real sex.

Right, Andrew? This is your movie, okay? I mean, to me, she's the star.

So I want to see you four guys concentrate on her.

She's the one.

I know it's not very natural, but you must find a way to do this all natural

the camera.

Can you please spread like one or two guys for the moment?

I would like to see a little bit where we are.

Because I don't want the shot to get too tight like this. So maybe you come

here.

Okay, with you, Frank.

Come here and start something here. Maybe you can start like this.

Pull down and start from back here.

Because I'm on top of here.

And you maybe, yeah, you threw it here. You must be the front.

You are the front pitch, the first one, okay? This one. Okay,

ready? Sorry guys for the interruption.

Okay, and action.

Thank you.

Exterior film festival.

Day. The director confronts the studio executive.

Director. If you dare you touch a frame of my masterpiece, I'll rip off your

head and shit down your throat, son of a whore.

It's too obvious.

What's it about? Why am I doing such a hard job?

You know what I hate? You're a son of a bitch.

Okay? Come on.

Good, good, good, good, good. What was the director done before?

You know what?

Questions later, all right, honey?

Good,

good. Can you go inside, please? Thank you. You know what? I asked for small

girls, and I got these big guys. They either have to have new talent or new

costumes.

Only el director decides.

Andrea, where's Narciso?

I don't know. I thought he was with you.

Damn.

I can't seem to raise him.

Well, I've never had that problem.

It's a joke.

Anyways, would you like to come in?

Maybe shoot the shit for a while?

Okay. Until the little mutt comes back to his master.

No, Chizzo is definitely not the easiest person to be married to.

Is he still drinking?

I remember times when he scheduled his first meeting at 11 o 'clock just so he

can drink a few martinis on an empty stomach before lunch.

Well,

all that shit I can handle.

Hey, go away, please. Please.

Was it spontaneous or to get back at me?

To get back at you?

Whatever for?

Must you always be so sarcastic?

Must you be so goddamn dishonest?

What is it about doing it behind my back that makes it so much better? Maybe

because it's not like being on a leash.

As long as I've been convicted of the crime, I may as well commit it.

Okay, I get it.

It's my fault.

Husband always blames his wife.

The wife always blames other women.

Nice and circular.

Very tidy.

God damn it, Narciso.

Don't you know that I would fucking do anything, anything for you if you just

gave me half the chance?

Do you know whether to apologize or if we could finish what we have started?

Actually, you look good together.

Maybe it was wrong to divorce with her.

Look at her now, she's so beautiful.

Actually, you both look great together.

But of course I must make the choice, one or the other, right?

That's what you're suggesting.

But truthfully, you may be right.

There is space only for one. That's what you want?

oh

Oh, God, yeah.

Let me see.

Exactly like this.

That's what I like. Look at me.

That's what I like.

I like to see your face.

Oh, yeah.

Oh, God, yeah.

So fucking beautiful.

So fucking beautiful.

Look at this ass.

Yeah, fuck me with your ass. Come on.

Fuck me. Come on.

Yeah.

Oh, God, yeah.

Oh, yeah.

Oh, yeah, that's nice.

That's fucking...

So mean.

So nudie. You do.

You do. Oh, no. You do.

No. Yeah, look at this, baby.

Don't rub it. Don't rub it.

Don't rub it.

Fuck you.

This feels good.

Oh, yeah.

You're so fucking beautiful.

With my wife, it's okay.

We have an arrangement.

We have an arrangement.

Hey, Narciso.

This stuff is pretty weak.

I think I finally figured it out. You surround yourself with strong women, but

down deep, you're afraid of them.

Maybe I screw around because life is just too damn short.

Life is short.

Is that what men are calling midlife crisis these days?

Look, honey, you're 40.

You've been married half your life.

You're blood pressured through the roof. You have anxiety attacks.

You're getting older.

You're afraid of becoming impotent.

That was pretty good. That was pretty good. Face it.

Oh, man.

Whatever she's going to say, keep it shut.

If life was short...

You wouldn't be here.

Life is long.

Who? Why can't truth begin at home?

Starting with being true to me.

I need my antidepressant.

Look, don't you get it?

That it's better to have a small fire to warm us than a big one to burn us to a

crisp?

her up for the record?

I say.

I told you so in advance.

Very important. Very important.

Haven't we learned how to do everything that we do by ourselves?

No, no, no!

You have done all this before.

Try something new.

I could make documentaries.

Have you ever think about to cross to adult cinema?

You mean pornography?

Cut.

Strong woman, he doesn't appreciate strong woman.

That's when you lean in and kiss her. Now you say like you mean it.

Okay? Okay.

Here we go, everybody.

Roll the camera.

Speed and action.

He doesn't appreciate a strong woman.

What did I do?

Drop your nut!

Get out of the way!

My husband, the director.

What the

fuck

are you talking about real life? What is this? Is this fake life? Not for me.

You ran out of ideas.

You gash out of me like a fountain.

You've told them me.

Love me.

Does watching them on screen excite you?

Love me.

Surely this must be some publicity stunt to glorify a... Our director.

Celluloid ghost?

Come on, show me what you got. My sister has a wooden leg.

Yes, we... Yeah, that's what I'm talking about. Oh, yeah, baby. It screws off.

I hate not to please.

Yeah?

Yeah.

I want to fucking kill you.

Come on, give me a hug.

Take two.

Oh, this is for you.

Come on, give me a hug. You know what I like. Make me some more.

Oh, yeah. Oh, come on. Come on. Come on. Oh,

God.

In the end, life is just hard.
