All language subtitles for 2023_Bad Director.deu

Come on, Chico.
Now splash off at last.

I want to see your juice.

Now
don't put so much pressure on me, okay?

I still have ten minutes
on the clock.

Fucking movie award.

Why do you do that to yourself?
What a miserable compulsion.

Now I have to spend three hours
of this shitty program.

Shit!

Oh, shit.
What a miserable mess.

So.

Excuse me.
- Come on, stop it. No, go away.

Nah, leave me alone.

* Speaks Russian. *

* Cell phone rings. *

Well?

Do you feel like it?

What's up?

Come on, it'll be quick.

What's going on now?

"Hello, Gregor.
We have a few more questions

regarding the costume of Fabian
Reiter for the first day of shooting."

Does it have to be today?

I'm coming to Cologne tomorrow on this
early Sprinter train to Cologne tomorrow.

Do that then.

They are just
shopping in Düsseldorf.

They just want to talk to you for a moment.

Good, if you absolutely have to.
- "I'll pass you on."

Sorry, Gregor,
for disturbing you.

But I didn't want to
decide alone,

what color socks Fabian
to wear with the brown loafers.

The more daring variant would be red.

Otherwise I would rather
opt for something classic,

Paisley pattern e.g.

"Because of the sock color
of the leading actor

Will you call me now?"

Yes, uh ... We thought ...

What, you thought?
You thought nothing!

You are far too stupid,
to think for yourselves,

and, above all, far too cowardly.

That's your problem,
the sock color,

but not my problem.

And now stop it,

with such nonsense
to further spoil the mood.

Wow!

What color socks
the main character should wear?

I wasted all my time
wasting my life

and shattered my nerves?

Shit! What am I doing here?

Man!

"Yes?"

Did you get me the tablets?

"Sabine got something."

What does "something" mean here?
Damn, what is "something"?

I don't need something,
I need Rohypnol.

Did you understand?
Did you get Rohypnol?

"I don't know exactly.
I'll have to ask Sabine."

Why Sabine?

I thought Susanne should
get the tablets yesterday.

Why now Sabine? Then
just ask her, for God's sake!

And if the tablets
are not on the table,

then I won't be coming to Cologne.
Do you realize that?

Then there's no such thing as a fucking movie
because it doesn't exist!

All right.

Asshole!

Should I kick your face
on the curb?

No, uh, sorry.

If you call here
on the phone that loud again,

I'll kill you, wanker!

And now fuck off, but right now!

I'm sorry, I'm sorry!

Cunt!

Hello.
- Hello.

* Scolds in Russian. *

Hello.

Give me 20 euros.

Thank you.

Hi.

Tell me, don't we know each other
from somewhere?

No.
- Ah.

Great glasses.

It's Rodenstock, isn't it?

Thank you.

You, can't you
stay here for a moment?

If I had known,

that this whole industry
is made up of complete idiots,

I could have
work in construction.

They scurry around everywhere,
exchanging their stupid platitudes

and infect each other
with their flu viruses.

Ew!

Oh, so you like them?

Shall I introduce you to them?

They are stupid,
conceited careerists.

They come directly from the
Schumann's day bar in Munich.

Your intellect
only goes so far,

the American mainstream
to copy the American mainstream.

They call their comedies "romcoms",

and their movies
they call "high-concept movies".

After two hours at the latest
you'll be bored with them.

But I can
introduce them to you anyway.

I'm sure he would love to add you
you into his collection.

He appears at every movie premiere
with a new accompaniment,

whom he always introduces as "the greatest woman
of the universe".

"Hello, this is Frida,
the greatest woman in the universe."

For the rest of the evening
he no longer cares about her.

You are condemned to
sit bored next to him

and sipping their champagne glasses
sipping their champagne glasses.

Do you really want to end up like this?

But maybe he'll take you with him
to Sankt Moritz,

in his Porsche.

You need to think about that carefully.

Hello, hello,
my favorite director.

So nice to see you again.
How are you? You look well.

This is Gina,
the greatest woman in the universe.

* Gregor laughs. *

See you around.

Hello, hello,
my favorite director.

Oh, look there.

This is the grande dame
of German film.

Have you ever seen them?

Have you ever seen them in the movies
or on television?

That is a small,
subtle difference,

which in Germany
nobody knows anymore.

In France they have
Jeanne Moreau and Catherine Deneuve.

And that one, look.

You can take
take an example.

She did it right.

She belongs
to the type of actress,

who have invented themselves.

There are maybe
three in Germany.

And they then divide
the television market among themselves.

The recipe is very simple.

You need a lot of ambition.
Ambition, ambition, ambition.

And then you get married

an influential director
or a rich media mogul.

Or a multimillionaire,

who earned his money
through wage dumping.

Bah!

There are no limits to bad taste
there are no limits.

Look at this one,
that's a CEO.

And the other,

that's some gay guy with a
with a really nasty Hessian dialect.

Very cruel.

Take a look at this.

Now his philistine dream
has come true.

And he can finally
bask in the glow of high society.

Because he has three-parters
for them,

where very important, historical
themes are exploited,

where she then
can play the leading role.

"The rubble woman of Nuremberg" or
"Soldiers' Mothers, Soldiers' Fathers".

The stock of weighty,
historical themes

seems almost inexhaustible
to be inexhaustible,

so that they can play these
strange leading roles

then until the end
of their lives:

Responsible countess
in a hail of bombs

or self-sacrificing
hospital nurses,

who wade through blood and
but still turn into brave ones,

amputee soldiers fall in love.

Or brave Jewish women in a concentration camp,

but who look
like purebred Aryans.

May I briefly
the scriptwriter,

who developed the concept for the
Rühmann three-parter,

that you liked so much?

Peter Schleimer,
a promising young author.

I'm delighted,
to finally meet you.

(Announcement) "The guests are
are requested to take their seats.

At 6.30 pm
the doors are closed.

Please take your seats."

What does it look like?

Do we want to?

What?

Run away from here?

Perhaps you should
better go in

and sober up inside first?

And then?

Unfortunately, I have to work.
The job is waiting, I'm sorry.

Good morning. So, have you arrived safely?

How was the movie award?

Thank you.
Tell me, is Susanne here yet?

Did she get the pills?

She is currently in the process.

What does "in the process" mean?
With what, with whom?

She wanted to get them
yesterday.

I passed everything on just as you told me,
the way you told me to.

We have a lot to do,
as you can imagine.

I can see that.
I can see that. I can see that, can't I?

Fabian arrived
arrived yesterday afternoon.

He's in make-up right now.
You were supposed to rehearse at lunchtime today.

And then a team from
from WDR "Kulturzeit" is waiting out there.

They want to do an interview
with you.

WDR "Kulturzeit"?

My contract says,
I don't give interviews.

Didn't you read it?

Neither for your cheese papers nor
for the shitty regional television.

You know that very well.

Why are you annoying me now
with such nonsense again?

Why is no one from "Der Spiegel" sitting
if you want an interview?

This is followed by
a small production session.

In the connection?
In which connection?

Do you have beans on your ears?

Did you not hear
what I just said?

I'm not giving an interview. Got it?

Okay. But Eddy and Nicole
still have some questions.

The face of a bum.

What did you say?

Nothing.

You, we can start as far as I'm concerned.
Okay?

Mr. Samsa, do you have three minutes
for three questions?

There is no filming here.
Go away. Turn it off!

Where is my assistant director?
- Sitting at the shooting schedule.

Come on, get out of here.

So. We now have
exactly one hour.

Then I have lunch
with Matthias Döpfner.

All right, who wants to start?
You, Petra? Or Peter?

Werner. What should the front doorbell
from Mona's apartment be?

We have
prepared a few bells.

Or do you want a door knocker?

Do you need bell ringing
or a buzzing sound?

Do you want a pallet like this?
skyscraper style,

with 20 international names
or a stuffy family sign?

I have to ask you again
about the color of Fabian's socks

in the scene on Monday
at the patient's bedside.

He's wearing tight-fitting pants,
that reach down to his ankles.

What about the ceiling height
of apartment Mona?

You always say that the inner emptiness
shows itself in the outer space.

I need to know that.
It's still being built today.

Which tip of the nose
should the rider get

in the scenes with the age mask?

And we have prepared
prepared a few nostrils.

How are the blackheads on his daughter's forehead
on his daughter's forehead be arranged?

I have a few
diamond-shaped constellations

with large
individual pimples.

You also have to
the plaster cast

from the age mask.

We have already
applied a few wigs.

I can't decide on my own,

what color socks Fabian
to wear with the brown loafers.

I prefer red, but we still have
still have the paisley pattern.

Without room dimensions, I can't have the two
windows cannot be installed.

And without windows
there is no defined furniture.

And the furniture
must be ordered today.

Uh ...

Hello.

Hi.

What is your name?

Petra.

Wow.

An unusual, beautiful name.

My name is Gregor.
- Yes, I know.

I wanted to go for
go for a beer.

Do you perhaps
have a beer too, Petra?

I can't yet.
I'm sorry.

But thanks anyway.

And at some point ... with pleasure.

Do you like it sometime? What kind of
kind of bullshit answer?

Fabian would now be ready
for a rehearsal.

Is that so? He would be ready?

The great young star would be ready,
the highly decorated one,

who everyone says has what it takes
for a lead in Hollywood.

Then tell him,
he's not Hollywood yet.

He might just have
his five minutes.

And tell him
that I, the director,

I'll be ready in an hour.

Has Susanne come
come with the tablets?

It's just clean.

And?

The package from the pharmacy
lies on your table.

Okay, finally.

And here are the glasses,
you ordered.

Oh yes, and Konstanze is coming
from Hamburg this evening.

Maybe you want to have dinner tonight
dinner for three.

Konstanze is already coming tonight?

Yes.
make a reservation, let me know.

Oh my God, it's getting serious.

Who are we going to start with
on Monday?

I think with Konstanze,
the hospital scene.

But I don't know exactly.

You don't know exactly?
I want to see the shooting schedule right away.

Why isn't the shooting schedule
not ready yet?

What?

We get new actor
blocking data from actors.

We start shooting on Monday.
Do you realize that?

Yes.
- Yes?

Why weren't you at the team meeting today?
not at the team meeting today?

Why are you staring at me like that?
Talk to me!

You see, the shooting schedule.

Man! I'm telling you now
for the last time:

Take care of the chaos out there!

And don't hide behind
behind the fucking shooting schedule, man!

Okay?

Okay.

I want to have a
fucking sample plan in an hour

for the shit actors!

And a schedule for me
and the whole team!

Okay?

When I'm with this little,
brainless ass,

who stares at me the whole time,
instead of answering me,

can no longer cope,
I'll throw him out.

I prefer this
passive-aggressive behavior

from that no longer in.

I don't have time
to wait for his answers,

for which he takes so much time.

* Cell phone rings. *

Yes?

Okay.

All right.

Konstanze has just
arrived at the hotel.

How?

Already?

Yes, she asks,
if you want to see her right away.

I'm not at all prepared
prepared for that.

Later then. I'll let you know.
Is everything okay with you?

I had quite a bit of trouble
with Konstanze while filming.

I've heard about it.
Word has gotten around.

But that was a long time ago, wasn't it?

She has certainly
grown up too.

Konstanze Lüders
will never grow up.

What actually happened there?

She once
a whole day of shooting,

because one detail in the decor
was not right: the wall color.

She refused to shoot,

because the wall color
didn't suit her.

Then she screamed and wailed

and gets stuck in the carpet
of her wardrobe

and broke all his nails
broken off,

because they wanted to force her
to come to the set.

Why did you take it again?

* Cell phone rings. *

I let myself be talked into it
by the producer.

The broadcaster really wanted
for her to play the role.

Yes?

Okay.

Okay.

Fabian is determined to wear the original costume
to wear the original costume.

Anne points out,
that it could get dirty.

He says he is
an authenticity freak.

He needs the costume for the rehearsal,

otherwise he could not
play credibly. - You ...

Fine by me.
Then give him his fucking costume.

Hello.

Greetings.

Nice to finally have you here.

No, no, no.
Careful, careful, the hair.

We have just spent two hours
the hair,

so that they sit
sit correctly.

And?
- I see.

Do you like the costume?
It looks fantastic, doesn't it?

Yes, very interesting,
very unusual.

But we showed you the costume
two weeks ago.

Don't you remember?
- Yes, of course I do.

Now to the sock color.

I asked your costume designer
at least three times,

to ask you,
what color socks you would like.

Did that never get through to you?

No, sorry.

I guess that somehow
did not get through.

But as you can see, we have
our hands full here too.

But what do you think of
the color of the socks?

I think that's not entirely unimportant.

After all, they go
up to the knees.

So they have
a certain signaling effect, right?

Yes, you're right.

You're absolutely right.
You can say that.

They have.

Well, what are we waiting for?
I thought we were going to rehearse.

Now, which scene are we rehearsing?

Okay. Let's just start
with scene 14.

He comes from the radio
and finds out in the apartment,

that she locked the door to the study
locked again.

Why them of all things?
There's nothing to play there.

I just come in there
and put the keys down.

Yes, but no.

And realize that the door
is locked again.

So, that's the door,
and that's where you come in.

And how do you think I should
react to this?

I would give you
give you free rein.

Just try something out.

With pleasure. But for that I need
a direction, do you understand?

A direction?
Yes, just do it.

Well, okay.

Okay.

And please.

Hey, Mona!

This is Johnny!

Was that what you had in mind?

Or this? Maybe
I'll do it again right away.

Okay.

And please.

Mona!

Poppies!

Mona, open the door!

Mona, why is
your door locked?

Better?
That was the ZDF television version.

Do you want to see the ARD version
too?

Wait a minute. Uh...

Okay. Please.

* Hums to himself. *

Storm-free!

I can also do Berlin School.

But you have to tell me,
what you want.

You, me ...

I try to explain to you all the time
to explain ...

I just wanted to
just let it run.

And ... yes.

Maybe I just want to
to see something authentic from you.

Authentic?

What do you mean by that?

Can you perhaps
be a little more specific?

Yes.
Didn't you read the script?

Of course, now I understand
exactly what you mean.

Why didn't you
didn't say that right away?

Okay.

Yes, good. Then we can, yes?

And please.

Where is the key board?

Which key board?

I thought I should
to play the scene authentically.

I should have my key

on a key board
next to the door,

as is usual in a
normal household.

Or is it
a provisional budget?

Has the couple just moved in?
Then you have to tell me.

Then I have to play the scene
in a completely different way.

Why isn't there a key rack?

Didn't they know
we were rehearsing or what?

But as you can see,
they are still working.

On Monday,
when we start shooting,

you have your key board there.

But could you now
perhaps imagine,

that this chair
is the key board?

Then you just come in and
put the key on the chair

and then play the scene.

Are you serious?

We can also
at this point.

I have an idea.

What if,

if you assign one
one of your assistants,

quickly get the key board
to get the key board?

They're not Hiwis, are they? They are
are highly trained craftsmen.

That would take
take far too long.

How about a nail?

A nail?

If we simply hammer a nail
into the wall?

Would that help your acting
on its feet?

It was good, very funny.

To help my acting
on its feet.

Nobody has said that to me
nobody has said that to me for a long time.

But yes, yes,
Nail is good, nail is great.

It should be the nail.

Good. Can someone here
hammer a nail into the wall?

Quickly!

Thank you.

Good.

Okay.

Can we then?

Any instructions?
- None.

Of course.

Good.
- Then ...

... let's get going, shall we?

Okay. And please.

* Exciting music *

Fell for it!

But don't worry,

We don't even discuss
about a coat hook.

Did you like it like this?
Any improvements?

Nope.

That was the ARD 8.15 p.m. version
from earlier.

You're forgetful, man.

This is going to be big.
It's going to be phenomenal.

It's great fun here.

Ouch!

Ouch!

So, how was the rehearsal?
- Terrible.

The guy gets on my
on my nerves.

Why? What happened?

He couldn't play the scene,

because a hook in the wall
was missing.

A terrible lapse.

How can a good director
forget such an important prop,

on which his fine,
highly reflective acting

is dependent on?

That was what he was telling me
indirectly the whole time.

I told you right away,
that this guy is an asshole.

You should have done the casting
with him.

Then you wouldn't have taken it.

They wanted to cast him,
because he's so hyped right now.

It's too late now.

You have to shoot 40 days
with the asshole.

You fucked yourself.

And by the way,
Konstanze is already in make-up.

Would you like to say hello to her?

Hey, hello!

Hello.

Hello, hello, hello.

Hello.

I didn't even know that you ...

You didn't know that?
- I didn't.

What did you think
after that evening at Borchardts?

He was probably thinking,

that we go to you
and collect stamps.

Welcome to real life,
Gregor.

Not everything always goes
according to the script.

The strangest things happen
the strangest things happen,

that you
you didn't expect.

Look at that,
now he's looking quite indignant.

Yes, yes, yes, this is the
big conspiracy against you.

Gosh, come here now.
Let me give you a hug.

It's going to be really, really nice,
you know?

We will
be one big family

and have lots of fun together
and be nice to each other, right?

Yes.

Come on, don't scare him here.

No, wait a minute.
What should I be afraid of here?

I'm just wondering,
that you didn't tell me anything.

Why? Would that have
influenced your decision making?

No. But I'm just wondering,

that you
at the last dress rehearsal

have not already
fallen around your neck like that.

There was nothing in your behavior
suggested that.

Surprise.
- Aha.

That should be a surprise.
Yes, really.

So what are we rehearsing tomorrow?

I've prepared myself for everything.
You'll see.

Okay. Good.

Yes, we'll let you
get ready first.

Shall we go out for
have something to eat together afterwards?

We actually wanted to have dinner
dinner together tonight.

Please, please, please, can we
have dinner together tomorrow?

Yes.

Yes, yes, good. If you
want to be alone, then ...

Please, don't be offended now.

I'm so looking forward
to the rehearsal tomorrow morning. - Yes.

How long has it been
we worked together?

10 years.

Yes, something like that.

I'm also looking forward
to the rehearsal tomorrow. - Yay!

See you then, right?

And thanks, buddy,
for the taste today.

The samples
were very informative.

Yes.

Hello, I am Coco.

Hello, I'm Coco.

You too?
The other one was also Coco.

No, I'm Coco.
The other one is Chantal. - Ah.

(East German accent) Hello,
my name is Grete.

Don't I know you?

Have we not
somewhere before ...

I know,
we've met before.

In the bookshop.
You stalked me.

Oh, I'm sorry about that.

Not so bad.

* Gregor laughs. *

But ...

... what are you doing here in Cologne?

How did you get here?

Surprise!

Life doesn't always go
according to the script.

No, seriously.

Everyone has to earn
earn their money.

But not here.
Perhaps at Suhrkamp?

At Suhrkamp?
- Yes.

I thought,

you would be an editor at Suhrkamp
or something like that.

What are you watching?

The briefs.

These are very nice briefs.

These are exactly the briefs
I would have thought,

that a young, ambitious editor
at Suhrkamp would carry it.

This is a
real schoolgirl panties.

See you soon, maybe.

* Giggle *

Well, Peter?
Which girl would you like?

You, what about Grete?
Is she nice?

You're right about Grete.
Very good.

To be honest, I have a
a bit scrupulous about going to her.

Maybe I should invite her to dinner first
to dinner or something?

What's wrong with you?
You usually have no inhibitions.

Yes, but I'm afraid
falling in love with her.

And then comes again
this terrible paranoia,

who always keeps me under control,
when I'm in love,

and which makes me completely insane
and unfit to live.

All right then,
I'll try them then.

Good, you're right about Grete.

Here I am again.

So what do we do now?

Come here.

I don't think that's going to happen.
- Why?

You're too pretty.
You make me insecure.

I like you too much.

But that is a contradiction.
- Unfortunately not.

Normally things work differently.

I usually come here
and choose one,

that can be ugly,
at least on the face.

That helps me.

Acne scars, for example,

or if one of them is cross-eyed
or looks totally stupid.

Yes, that ...

That really helps me.

But this picture of you
in the bookstore,

I can't get that out of my
out of my head.

The intellectual student
with baggy sweater and pleated skirt.

Oh God.

It's really soft.

Do you like it?

Oh yes, that looks incredible,
unbelievably great.

Were you on vacation?

Yes, on a solarium vacation.
- On a solarium vacation?

That's beautiful.

That is a
beautiful word formation.

Thank you very much.

What do your parents do?

Why are you asking me that?

My father was a professor of linguistics
at the University of Vilnia,

when this post still existed.

Now he is unemployed.

After all.

I wasn't so wrong about Suhrkamp
not so wrong, was it?

And you?
Did you study too?

For a while.

And what?

English studies. It doesn't matter now.

English studies? Oh, wow.

And how long?

Aren't you finally going to
pull down my panties?

Yes.

What did you pull from the
bookstore back then?

Rate.

Mayakovsky, "Early Poems"?

How do you know that?

That's something you know when you
you've reached a certain age.

So you come from Vilnia.

That sounds incredibly poetic.

I've always had a weakness
for women from Latvia and Pomerania.

I come from Lithuania.
My mother speaks German.

Really?

Do you know T.S. Eliot?
- Of course you do.

T.S. Eliot is an American poet.
poet. - Oh cool.

Right in the first verses
of "The Waste Land"

there is talk of Lithuania.

Oh my God! Oh wow!

You're checkmated now, aren't you?

Oh yes.

I knew right away
it was going to be complicated.

Carry on. That's very nice.

So, you higher daughter,
you cock-hungry Suhrkamp editor.

That's you
with your hot ass, right?

I knew that from the start.

You witch.

Comm.

Come, come.

Here.

So.

Yes.

Look at me,
when I fuck you.

I love you.

I love you, too.

Can I also
fuck you in the ass?

That costs extra.
But no, not now.

Okay, okay.

Good performance, right?
- Oh yes.

Insane. Mega.

You must be with some
with some rich oligarch,

as beautiful as you are.

And need a break from him,
because he's so primitive,

to then meet people
like you here,

who are so sensitive and yet
yet so masculine and educated.

Oh, thank you.
You put me to shame now.

That was revenge for the stupid cliché
with the oligarch.

I see.

Oh, shit. I thought
you were serious.

Don't be miffed.
You're all right.

But seriously now.

Why do you work
here of all places?

You could
earn a lot more money.

You don't fit in here
here at all.

I would rather place you with a very,
very expensive escort service,

with your eloquence,
your looks and your education.

There are 24 hours in a day.
Who says I don't?

It probably has to do with us Russians

and our irrational tendency
to self-destruction,

when we start
bored with life.

Then we have something in common.

What are you doing here in Cologne?
I am curious.

I start the day after tomorrow,
shoot a movie.

Oh God, how tasteless that sounds,
doesn't it?

So you're a director.
That's what I thought.

Why?

Because you are so ...

... subtly directed the events
the action.

The event? Which event?

Oh, you mean the sex?

Yes.

That was very entertaining with you,
not boring at all.

You have me, so to speak
for half an hour

make you forget the boredom.

* Door knocking *

(Time is up!

Yes.

You, Leyla, I'll pay you back, right?

(Not possible!

Grete has her next appointment.
The customer is already waiting.

The old witch
is breathing down your neck, isn't she?

Is what she says true?

Yes, unfortunately.
- Oh.

But you can come back.

Delicious, delicious.

(Konstanze) That was really good.

* Exciting music *

* Male and female voices
to be heard. *

* Groan *

* Loud noise. *

* Laughter *

* Sigh *

What a load of crap.

Bloody hell.

Hello.

Oh, finally!

At last! Allah, Allah, Allah.

How, valerian?

Hello? Why valerian?

Why valerian?
I said Rohypnol.

Guys, man!

Who got that for you?

Tell me ... Valerian?

Who here now ...
Are you stupid?

I said Rohypnol!

Guys, I can't sleep!
Do you understand that?

That's shit,
you ass cunts!

You assholes, you wankers, man!

Valerian, one drop, coated tablet
for a good night ...

Shit! I need Rohypnol!

Man, I told you so!

Five, five in the evening!

In other words, the movie is not happening.
You know that.

So, with me
the movie is not happening.

I hope
you know what that means.

Where is the fucking producer?

He's just gone into town.
- Driven into town?

Then call him and tell him
him to shoot it alone,

the asshole producer!

You fuckers!

My God! You had one job! One job!

Fuck! What a load of shit!

No!

Valerian. I mean, valerian ...

I said Rohypnol!
Rohypnol, you cunts!

Fuck, cunt!

What is a director?
A director is nothing.

He puts a few people in the picture.

That's all that
a fucking director does.

A few fuckers
in their fucking picture!

Shit, cunt, cunt!

No, you have to tell him that.

Hello.

Hu!

Have you started reading yet?

What scene do you have?
- The 52, in the hayloft.

And?

How does it work?

You know how much
how much I like the scene.

It's so terrible
heart-rending, romantic.

It's the first time for him.
And then in the hay.

And in the 50s,
when everything was still so innocent.

I love the scene,
also with regard to the female figure,

because it shows such a tender side
of her,

when she otherwise
seems so enlightened.

Especially,
when she whispers in his ear,

that she is so happy,
even though he comes much too early.

Yes.

* Laughter *

And what ...

What was your question?

Um ...

Yes, that's how we imagine
the 50s.

The purest idyll.

The woman is put to sleep.

And afterwards
she is infinitely happy.

I don't give a shit,
how bad the fuck was.

It has such a funny ...

... Appearance.

I mean, yes ...

What were you thinking
thinking?

* Gregor stammers. *

At worst
the critics can

be interpreted as reactionary,
or not?

So, uh ...

Konstanze,
you have recently

much worse roles
played, right?

What are you trying to say now?

That you are interpreting Klaus' role
completely wrong.

He's insecure,
because it's his first time.

He's really excited.

That's why it comes so quickly.

And she thinks this
"Ejaculatio praecox" just cute?

Is that what you want?

Yes, let's set the scene ...

Wait a minute. How do you play
an "ejaculatio praecox"?

Read?

Ow, ow!

Somehow like this?

Isn't she actually afraid
of getting pregnant?

Why doesn't she use contraception?

Is she just giving in so naively?
without thinking about the consequences?

She is not illiterate
from the working class.

She is an anal phabette.

He could penetrate her anally,
like the Turks do before marriage.

Then the problem would not even exist.

Yes.

Let's read the text,

just as
our director wanted.

So ... please.

"My sweet Mona.

You know exactly
how it should come."

"Klaus, do you think
anyone knows about us?"

"My sweet poppy."

Sorry! Nope, nope!

What?

He's said it three times now:
"You're so cute."

As a budding emancipated woman
just sit on it, or what?

No, so ...

She is the adult,
the seductress.

She should think he's cute.

Nope. How should I
react to that,

when he says all the time
all he says is "You're so cute"?

He says that exactly twice now.

Nope, three times!
In the scene before, too.

Here!

Okay, good. Shall I ...

Should I react like this?

This is a movie
about the 50s.

We agree on that, don't we?
- Yes, yes.

Yes? Then just play it like that,

as if you were a person
from the 50s.

Haven't you read the novel
on which the screenplay is based?

Yes, yes, yes. And?

In it are
the thoughts of the characters

now explicitly described.

The novel ...

The novel is, to put it ...

... to put it diplomatically, naive.

Are you saying
that I should play just as naively?

We have talked for a long time
about "So close to heaven",

Julianne Moore, about,
how she created her character.

And now ...

She simply
put herself in the character's shoes.

She didn't spend the whole time
compared the figure with today.

Okay. So you want me to
play like Julianne Moore?

I want you to ...
- No, if ... No.

If that's all it is,
you can think of, okay.

I want
that you just play.

We are rehearsing.
- Nope, nope, nope.

Wait a minute. We're rehearsing here, okay?

So show me,
how you envision the role.

And now ...

Man, what's so
so difficult about it?

For God's sake,
don't argue with me any longer!

Hmm?

Easy. Easy.

Calm down.

You, excuse me.

Come on, sit down at the table again.

So, shall we now ...

Shall we start again?
read the text again?

Mhm.

Can we remove the "sweet"
from his sentence, please?

I would like that,
that you read the text like this now,

as it stands there, yes?

Yes, yes, I just don't know how to react
should react to the "sweet" right away.

Should I frown?

The proposal
was meant quite seriously.

But then I don't know,

how to have sex in the scene afterwards
sex is supposed to happen afterwards,

if she is already angry.

Okay, okay.

I can simply
just smile pityingly,

as if all men
just feel sorry for them.

Or superficially relaxed,
as if I hadn't listened at all.

That's good.

As if I hadn't been listening.

Superficially relaxed,
that sums it up quite well.

Okay, okay.

And how do you envision that?

So what do you mean by that?
What do you want to see?

Please just play the sentence as it is,
as it is written.

And you read it out slowly,
with emphasis on the final syllable.

Good?

Now ...

So, I guess that's it
with the rehearsals, huh?

I'm going to go outside now
and take care of her.

No, you're staying here now, right?

Why? - Because we are
are not finished yet.

That's why.

And who says that?
- I say that.

Here ...

Tell me, you ...

I am at the end of my tether
completely at the end of my tether.

You drink too much.
- You drink yourself.

Somehow I have to compensate for this
compensate for this boring shit,

that no longer interests me.

This rider is an idiot, a
pompous, infantile asshole.

I don't know,

how I'm supposed to get through
for another six weeks.

My legs are like lead.

And my head
is completely empty and stupid.

I don't have a plan,
how I'm going to put up with it.

I think we have to ...

We have to change the rider.

That's not possible.

Summer wind
will not go along with this.

But they are always connected.

I'm already getting
paranoia about it.

And you can't even
not even get it right,

to organize sleeping pills for me.

If I don't sleep tonight,
it's going to be a disaster.

Then you can pick my bones
one by one,

at least what Konstanze
then left of it.

You have your team,
that stands behind you.

Oh, a team, a team,

that's a damn,
stupid, dirty herd cattle,

that only thinks about her stupid, dirty,
Instagram-infested ego.

We have to call Sommerwind.
He has to kick Reiter out.

Then I can also
with Konstanze.

Only because of him
she acts like this.

That's not how it works.

When we kick riders out,

then we stand,
until we have a replacement.

And that costs Sommerwind
50,000 per day,

plus the new actor's fee.
And he doesn't do that.

Then I won't make the movie,
damn it.

I'll call Finzi.
I want him to play the lead role.

He's on a break.
He's my best buddy.

He'll do it for me.
He'll be here tomorrow to fill in.

That doesn't work either.
It also costs too much money.

But then I don't do it!

Another beer.

Okay, I see. See you then.

So, what did he say?
- You don't want to know.

Konstanze has doubts,
whether she can make the movie with you.

What?

She told Sommerwind that
Rainer should take over the direction.

The assistant director?
Did she really say that?

Gregor, I'm just telling you this,

so that you don't
run into an open knife.

But that's madness!

That is legally
at all!

I wrote the script
I wrote the script, man!

How dare she do that?
I'll call Sommerwind.

"I've heard that Konstanze
wants to replace me.

Is that really true?"

Calm down. Calm down first.

"You want me to calm down?"

I pull them by the hair
away from the set,

the next time she turns up.
And the other one too!

"I demand the immediate
payment of my entire fee.

Otherwise I'll call my agency."

Think carefully,
what you are doing here with me.

I am one of the most important
movie directors in the whole country!

I won't let them deal with me like that!

Constance
is a bit hysterical.

"A bit hysterical?

It calls my entire existence
in question."

That stupid
Hanseatic bourgeois cunt.

And I told you that I
I don't want to shoot with her anymore.

Only because you really wanted to.

"She wants to do it with you.
That was purely an act of defiance."

And your assistant director,
he canceled on her immediately.

He is not to blame.

I talked her into it.

She has apologized
for the interruption.

"And now she is very small
with a hat and waiting,

that you meet her."

The male asshole, we
we absolutely have to kick him out.

Only because of that
she acts like this.

When he's gone,
there's peace in the box.

"It's not that simple."

Without him, I wouldn't have
the financing.

Otherwise I won't do it.

That will cost me 100,000.
Where am I supposed to get the money from?

"We are in the middle
in the middle of the overrun reserve."

Do you want to make the movie without me?

I'll call Finzi,
to play the part.

Say something!
Otherwise I'll go it alone.

I have to make arrangements.
It's not that simple.

"You're in the process right now,

the realization of your film
of your movie."

That's an asshole.

That's a fucking,
cowardly asshole!

I'll show you!

I'll call Finzi now.

* Cell phone rings. *

Yes?

Gregor here again.
Sorry to have to ...

But ...

... you have to do this, okay?

No, unfortunately not possible. Sorry, sorry.

I'm totally tanned,
do you understand?

Almost my whole face
is burnt.

"Besides, I'm 20 years too old
for the role.

I can't play it at all, man!
And I have obligations here."

* Gregor laughs. *

"I know your obligations."

You can also fuck in Cologne.
I'll make sure of that.

I'll be the only one
in my hotel, okay?

Dude, I look like Berlusconi.
Capisce?

"I don't give a shit."

You have to do this.
Please, I beg you.

Please help me.

I can't shoot with that wanker
not shoot.

Please, you have to do this for me.
Don't leave me hanging, dude.

Nah, dude.
I really can't.

I've been going crazy all year.

I really need a break.
Do you understand me?

I have to call it a day.
Naomi comes out of the water.

Okay, bye.

Yes ...

Thank you!

So, what did he say?

He does it.

Does that mean we're kicking
the asshole out? - Yes!

But you have to do it.
After all, it's your job.

My task?

You cowardly bastard.

Okay, I'll do it.

But only on the condition
that you don't kick anyone else out.

Okay.

All right, then ...

Then we sorted it out.

And don't ever come back
with such nonsense.

Yes, okay.

We're all pretty exhausted
with nerves.

Sometimes I don't even know
what's going on with me,

why I've been
always so terribly irritable.

I have no idea.

You are complicated and fragile.

That's what makes you
best actress in Germany.

Thank you.

Now once again
to another point.

You have to somehow ...

You have to manage without your buddy,
that asshole.

Oh, yeah, right.
I can handle it.

Yes?
- Yes.

We are no longer together.

That makes me very happy,
that you take it that way.

Yes, I adore you.

I made the most important movie with you
of my career.

Have you forgotten?

But that is true.

But it's not entirely fair.

Well, I don't really care
really don't care who plays under me.

I'll play with a wall
even with a wall.

Come on, read me something
from "S.C.U.M.", will you?

"Deep down inside
every man knows,

that he
is a worthless pile of dung."

Great, go on.
I'm getting a hard-on.

"He's horny as a cattle
and is deeply ashamed of it."

Yes, yes!
Horny as a cattle and ashamed.

"He is a depraved,
thoroughly rotten subject ..."

Yes, yes!

"Not worth living for."
- Yes, not worth it.

Oh, yes.

Come on, fuck me.

Is that not possible?

It's a shaky business.

Should I use lube?
- No. And I ...

Oh, no.
I'm asking you specifically,

not to talk about such
technical details.

I don't want to have to emphasize again
have to emphasize that I am old

and that even the
slightest regret in your voice

a psychosomatic disaster for me.
disaster for me.

That's all right.

Don't be like that. - Yes.

You ...

Talk to me.

Please talk to me,
when I fuck you.

I need head stimulation.

What am I supposed to talk about?

Tell me about communism.

I am so grateful to communism
so grateful,

that he collapsed

and dragged the educated classes
into the abyss with them.

Otherwise your father would be
now part of the elite,

and I would have
never have met you.

Ha, ha, ha.
Was that a marriage proposal?

Uh ...

Yes.

So, if you
want to know exactly, yes.

I'll think about it.

You have a very nice penis.
It suits me well.

She said "penis".

She calls the genitals
by their real names,

as she
learned in the school primer.

I am crazy about you,
you higher daughter.

Nevertheless, you should
slowly come to the end.

You look very exhausted.

I ... I am exhausted.

My cock is old and broken.

Would you like me to take over?
- No.

I will definitely not
under any circumstances.

Would you rather fuck with the black people
who always come here?

They have longer tails, don't they?

That's a cliché.

Just like your idea
of communism.

You horny pig.

You ... horny ...
intellectual ... pig.

You are the girl from 7b.

What?

In the 7b,

There was a girl,
who looked just like you.

And unattainable
for me.

I was in love with her for years.

You are a real charmer.

And you ...

... are a Lebensborn girl.

I can tell by your aquiline nose
and your high forehead.

You are a real gentlemanly man.

You're a real pervert.

Do you know
what a Lebensborn girl is?

Huh?

They were there to
to produce the perfect breed.

And you are one of them.

You may even be
the last of this kind.

If you don't manage
produce the perfect breed,

Who then?

Who then?

I know a huge black man.

He works in my hotel.

I will cross you with him.

And you will
beget the perfect race.

And your children
will rule the world.

He is a Boko Haram.

Do you know what that means?
Do you know what a Boko Haram is?

I've gradually had enough.

If you take it out,
you can squirt in my face.

What now? Change of position?

I told you,

that I can't cope with a change of position
I can't cope with a change of position.

Man, I'm old and broken.
I'm almost 60.

Yes, laugh at me.

Yes, laugh at me.
I'm a real laughing stock.

Yes, that's true.
- Yes, I know.

Look, look, look, look at me.
Look at me.

Hello?

Is there anyone from the team here?

Hello?

Is the mud ready?
- Mud ready!

Mud ...
- Which mud?

... march!

Hello, is someone talking to me?

What is being done here?

The barbed wire scene.

Why don't I know that?
Why didn't anyone tell me?

What kind of scene is that?
the barbed wire scene?

Where are you going?

Will someone talk to me?

Where is
the fucking assistant director?

What's going on out there?

Why is the scene
not prepared?

The scene has long since been prepared.
We're about to shoot.

But why am I
not informed?

I don't know why,
what is being filmed here?

What is being played here?
damn it?

Why aren't you answering me?
Who is the director here?

I want a script.
I want a script now.

Is this a dwarf riot?
or what is it supposed to be?

I want to know
what is being filmed here.

I have a damn right
to know that.

You are no longer the director.

He is now the director.

What?

I couldn't help myself.

Konstanze no longer wants to
shoot with you.

I don't want to lose them
lose them too.

Otherwise the movie will burst.

And why doesn't anyone tell me that?

You didn't tell Fabian either,
that you kicked him out.

I need a script.

Give me the script.

I need the script.
- No.

Why no?
Give me the script now.

(Announcement) "We are all
the work for once.

And go to the beginning."

No!

No, that's not true!
I'm the director here!

I wrote the script!

Get him out of here.

No, no! I am the director!

I have the script ...
This is my movie!

* Scream *

Hello, Peter.
- Hello, Leyla.

Is ... Is Grete still there?

Grete no longer works here.

What?

Why?

Mechanics broken?

What do you mean, mechanics broken?
What does that mean?

Girl recites poems
poems all the time, during sex. - Yes.

That is not normal.

But it's great when a girl
girl recites poetry during sex.

That's incredibly beautiful.
It's incredibly cool.

You haven't
kicked her out now, did you?

No! What have you
with my Grete?

Tell me, where is my Grete?

Peter,
you have to take other girls.

No, I don't want another girl.
I want Grete!

Give me your number.
- May not give number.

Then make an exception
an exception, man! - Rivet!

Idiot!
- Oh, shit!

Hi, Mike.
- Maestro.

What an honor,
to see you again.

You look good.

You look like you need a drink.
need a drink.

Dirty Martini, as always?

Haven't seen each other for a long time.

How are you?
Are you filming here again? - Yes, I am.

Dirty Martini.

Thank you.

I also have
a few top addresses.

No, thank you.

The night is still young.

Yes, but I'm starting
start shooting in a few hours.

I think so, though,
that will cheer you up a bit.

Yes?

Feel free to take a
take a look.

Ah, no.
- Yes, I do.

Oh ...

Vivien?
- Do you know the lady?

Yes.

Yes, is it still free?

I would have to call the agency.

Yes, please. Call, right away.
Do everything you can.

This is my last chance.

I'll have a look,
what I can do.

In the meantime

I would like to draw your attention to our
new offer in the house.

Presidential Suite.

Plus the "High Romance" set.

It consists of a bottle of
of frozen champagne,

served to your room,

plus a small but fine
diamond ring weighing 0.9 carats,

from the workshop
of our Cologne jeweler.

You get the whole thing
at half price.

Yes, but why do I need
a diamond ring?

You can never
really know exactly.

We also call it
"the oligarch's cutlery".

The ring is, as you say,
a kind of can opener.

Believe me,
a ring like this always works.

So, the lady would have time
and would come.

Yes, yes, yes!

You are the best!

When should she be here?
- Right away, please.

The presidential suite?

Okay.

Good, will be here in half an hour
be here in half an hour.

Yes!

Tonye will then
to the presidential suite.

Have fun.

(American accent) What shall I
do with your luggage, sir?

Should I take it to the top?

No, thank you.
I don't need the luggage any more.

Then I'll bring you the champagne in
the champagne in half an hour.

With pleasure.

Why are you staring at me
at me like that all the time?

Is there something strange about me?

No.

I have slept very little
lately.

Do you need sleeping pills?

No, I'm about to have a visitor.

Viagra?

Here we are.

There is also
a small cigar lounge

with a view of the Rhine.

Enjoy the view first.

I'll get the champagne in the meantime.

No, please stay here.

I'm panicking. Please.

Xanax?

It's best to take two at once.
The panic will be over in ten minutes.

Thank you very much. You are helping me
pretty much out of trouble.

You're not the only one
who has a crisis up here.

I am prepared for
all eventualities.

If you want something else,
just let us know.

In the meantime, I'll get
the champagne.

Thank you.

Thank you.

* Door knocking *

Finally.

You?

Come in.

Yes.

Finally got you back, huh?

So this is where you live?

If I had known that, I might have
I might have called you after all.

* Door knocking *

* Cork popping *

Is there anything else I can
do for you?

No, thank you very much.

Who was that?

The Boko Haram.

The one you wanted to cross me with?

You look very beautiful
in that dress.

What are you wearing underneath?

Not schoolgirl panties.

Disappointed?

I have taken precautions.

I immediately bought a pack of them
at the drugstore,

because I thought
that we'd see each other more often now.

Really?

* Clink *

You have an old man ...

... twice already
very happy.

Is it any wonder that I
I think about you all the time?

The dirty talk
is included in the price.

But for the romantic talk
you have to pay extra from now on.

So think carefully about what you say.

Comm.

Please.

Here, for you.

What is that?

A wedding ring.

I promised you,
that I would marry you.

Put it on.

You look very sexy.

Now get up.

Now get up
and pull up the dress.

We have no time to lose.

And now turn around.

Today, as a punishment
no poems.

Now slowly pull down your panties.

Slowly.

Very slowly.

No, no.

Just stop bobbing your ass so stupidly
like the hookers.

No movement.

Now ...

... put your legs apart.

Even further.

Do you like that?

Yes.

Do you like sleeping
with lots of men?

Yes.

Do you want doggy style?

Mhm.

Say that you are the girl
from 7b.

I'm the girl from class 7b.

Say that you ...

... you're just a recreational hooker,
who wants to learn how to fuck.

I'm just a recreational hooker,
who wants to learn how to fuck.

Say that you have a ...

... Suhrkamp editor.

I am a Suhrkamp editor.

No.

Say you're a wild one,

cock-hungry
Suhrkamp editor, ...

... the ...

... can only think about fucking.

I am a wild,
cock-hungry Suhrkamp editor,

who can only think of dicks.

No, no. Say that you ...

No, who can only think about fucking
can think about.

Who can only think about fucking.
- No, the whole sentence!

I am a wild,
cock-hungry Suhrkamp editor,

who can only think about fucking.

I am a wild,
cock-hungry Suhrkamp editor,

who can only think about fucking.

Hello?

(whispering) Hello?

Oh God.

Was I asleep?

How long?

Maybe ten seconds.

But very deep.

Oh my God.

I have to go to the shoot.

How is that supposed to work?
I'm completely exhausted.

What do you say?

What should I do?

I don't do that anymore.

I'm not doing this anymore.

I'm not going to let
not be beaten up here,

because of such a shitty movie.

Yes?

This is the last time
that I'm making such a shitty movie.

I'm not making that fucking movie anymore.

I'm not taking part anymore,
I'm quitting.

So what is it now?

Do I do the movie,
or do I not do the fucking movie?

Of course you're making the movie.

You have stage fright.

That is quite normal.

All right then.

So I just make the fucking movie.

Are you waiting for me here?

Yes.

Promise?

We promise.

I'll pay you to wait, too.
You can leave the clock running.

Come on, drive me back to the hotel.

She gets on my last nerve,
the cunt.

Hey.

You can't even imagine,

how much I'm looking forward to
the first day of shooting with you.

But you look bad.
Are you ill?

You, uh ...

Don't worry about me.
- All right.

So, how do you like my costume?

Yes, that's very nice.

You joker.

You have
not changed at all. - Why?

You are still saying exactly the
opposite of what is right.

Come on, don't be
don't get mad.

Yes, please. Hey...

* Baby whimper *

Morning, Gregor.

I've already made a preselection
for the babies.

I have chosen three for you.

Thank you.

You're not going anywhere.
We'll take this.

It looks exactly the same,
as I imagined it would.

And make sure ...

* Loud screaming *

... that Konstanze is back in time
back from the mask in time,

so that we start on time. Okay?
- All right.

* Baby cries. *

We are ready to shoot.

What are you always shouting about here?

Sorry.

* Baby cries. *

Can I speak to you
a moment alone?

Sure.

I looked at this child.

That is far too old.

What do you mean by that?
- It's too old.

I work
on a baby ward.

The child ...

... looks older,
because it is ill.

But that is not realistic.

I have researched this in detail.

In the 50s
there were baby wards.

And there were children's stations.

In the infant wards ...

You can't be serious
be serious.

We have to rehearse
rehearse this scene, okay?

But that is not realistic.

This is a sample.

And when we shoot,
then the child is replaced?

No.

I have chosen this child
for this child, yes?

There are no other children left.

But why? There was
a huge selection.

I saw that myself.
Where have they all gone?

I sent them away,
they are gone.

I want to shoot with this child.

Like this! And no viewer in the world
will wonder,

how old this child is.

There are doctors who
lived through the 50s.

Doctors?
- Yes.

Please, we're running out of time.
We want to rehearse this scene now.

Okay?

Please.
- No!

Please.

All you have to do is
ask your assistant director,

to drum people back into line.

And then we choose a baby together
a baby together.

No.

No.

That would be far too much effort.

But why?
That's only five calls.

In ten minutes
everyone will be back here.

I don't argue.

Then I don't rehearse.

The age thing ...

... is just a pretext.

The child looks like her son.
She has just shown me photos.

She said
she can't shoot with the child,

because it blocks them psychologically.

That's a stupid cunt.

And she is also superstitious.

What are we going to do now?

I could try to reach the mothers
of the other children.

That's not a problem at all.
- Absolutely not.

If I give in on that point,
then I always have to give in.

Gosh, I've experienced that
experienced that before.

I'll go behind and get them now.

No, it doesn't work like that.

I'm not going to shoot,

before you have
with the producer.

He'll answer the phone.
After all, it's his money.

Nope, I'm not
not shoot with this kid.

Good.

Please call me back first,
when you have clarified this.

Thank you, bye!

What do you want here?

That you're coming to the set now.

Oh, is the child being replaced?

Huh?
- No.

Then get out.

What did you say now?

Man, yo.

You are really
so unprofessional.

Really.

To trample on my feelings here
to trample on my feelings here,

that I need for my role,

and not at all
to understand,

that I need motherly feelings,
to be able to play this role!

That shows that you have zero
zero idea about acting!

How dare you
talk to me like that?

I'm going to sue you, do you hear me?

I will send my lawyers
on you!

And I'm suing you
for every minute you stay here.

So, you're coming to the set now!
- No, no!

You're coming to the set now!

What a monster you are!

What a monster!

You monster!

* Hysterical laughter *

* Constance yells. *

Oh, Timo.

You can already prepare the first
for the baby.

Maybe she'll calm down ...

... again in a moment.

Oh, you know what?
Just shoot it without me.

15 seconds on the baby,
half close and total.

Then please go to the fifty.

"Summer wind?"

You, um ...

It is no longer manageable.

If I had known ...
- "What's she doing now?"

Do you really want to know?

* Screams *

Good, then watch out.

You can experience something.

* Screams *

Do you hear that?

* Roar *

Oh God, that's loud.

What on earth is she doing?

She lies with her stomach
on the floor,

has stretched out his legs,
like a frog.

And her whole body

is shaken by a terrible
hiccups.

The scene seems
somehow familiar.

She's played the seizure
with me once before,

10 years ago in
"An attack dog called love".

Apparently it can
automatically,

as soon as the opportunity arises.

Tom Tykwer did that back then
did the same with Cate Blanchett.

"Then hopefully you'll
make it too."

Tom Tykwer ...

"Give her a little time.

You'll manage that,
you can do it.

Give yourself a jolt.
Unfortunately, I have to go now."

Yes, yes.

Constance?

What is it?

What do you want?

Are you coming, please?

We have to shoot.

Did you change the child?

Good.

Then I'll make sure
that you are replaced.

I'm not shooting with you anymore.

Of course.
Will you come anyway?

Why?

I shoot the scene without the child.

How do you want to do that?

I'll put in a dummy,
when the camera is on you.

And for the return shot at the child
you don't even have to be there.

Okay?

Okay.

Good.

Please get your make-up done now
and then come to the set, okay?

Okay.

Now put that shitty
dummy into the bed.

So.

Is Konstanze here yet?
- Coming soon.

So, what should I do?

I would like to,

that you take a look
at the child,

in which I can read,

that you have given up hope of recovery
for recovery.

And then you step to the window
and gaze out pensively.

Okay?

Okay.

Good.

Sound?
- Running.

Camera?
- Running.

And please.

Do you need another one?

I told you,
you should look

step to the window
and look out pensively

and not take the tube
from the child.

Why didn't you do that
not done that now?

Because ...

... the pensive,
as you call it,

that was already here
in the view by the bed.

Didn't you see that?

Where does he want to go?
- I have no idea.

Take me to the hotel.

Yes, you heard right.

* Cell phone vibrates. *

* Cell phone vibrates. *

Yes?

Just a moment.

Summer wind.

Yes?
- You're throwing me a day of shooting!

What do you think it will cost me?

Now you have to
live with the consequences,

that you were stupid enough not to get me my
not to get me my sleeping pills.

You will never
make a movie again.

Here. Turn it off, please.

I am no longer available.

I am very tired.

I've slept far too little
lately.

Although I am your driver and have instructions
instructions to do what you say,

but, do you think
what you are doing is right?

Yes, you can
be absolutely sure.

There is
no doubt at all.

I've been dealing with this shit

for far too long
wasted my life.

Then why did you
became a director,

if you don't enjoy your job
not enjoy your job at all?

For the same reason

like all the other little shits
and busybodies too.

It wasn't enough for anything else.

I always thought,

that the profession of director
requires a great deal of skill.

Every dog trainer can do more.

That's one of the main reasons you become a director,

because people believe
that the profession is lucrative

and that it is then easier
to get women.

Then that's right
with the cast couch,

that you can get them all laid?

No, unfortunately not.
That's absolute humbug.

Every lighting technician with his muckis

is more popular with the actresses
more popular

than some pseudo-intellectual
asshole of a director.

What exactly is
the task of the director?

The profession
is completely overrated.

You have to say "please" at the beginning of a take
"Please" and "Thank you" at the end.

That's actually all,
what matters.

The rest is done by others.
This is called delegating.

So that would be
just the right job for me.

Yes?

What references
do you have to show

other than a driver's license?

I once worked as a foreman
on a building site.

That is fantastic.

Then you know
what getting up early means.

That is also important.
You have to be able to do that.

That's probably why
probably failed for me.

Then I'll try that.
Where can I apply?

All you have to do is

press the redial key
on your cell phone.

Then it's the man on the phone,

who is responsible for
of the job.

He will take you.

He doesn't care at all,
who does the job,

just as he doesn't care about anything else
is completely indifferent.

The main thing is that the money tap
of public film funding

will not be turned off.

Oh great,
if that would work.

Then I'll drive you quickly to the hotel.
And then I'll do that.

Then good luck with that.

Thank you.

* Cell phone rings. *

Yes?

I'll be right there.

What kind of shit is this?
Why are we here again?

The boss called me off,
while you were sleeping.

I would have lost my job.

Oh God.
- Open up!

So, and now
we continue shooting immediately.

Now other strings are being
other strings are being pulled.

I've done everything for you.

I even replaced this asshole
for you.

That cost me 100,000 euros,
you damn, childish idiot!

Now the closed season is over.

Work is now underway.

So, I have just
with Rainer,

what it would be like
if he were the director.

He knows all the logistics,
He is privy to everything.

You want my
assistant directing here again?

Yes, why not?

Technically, Rainer can certainly
certainly better than him.

I also get on really well with him
really well with him.

I'll leave the decision up to you.

You don't want any more.

What does that have
have to do with each other?

Have you somehow been
shit in your brains?

There is no way
this little ghost is directing here.

That's my movie, man!

He's a Nazi, that guy.
He has no imagination at all.

You made that up, didn't you?

You can fuck off.
I'm banning you from the set.

Get out of here!
I don't want to see you anymore.

Get your ass in gear
and get out!

March off!

I think it's better
if you leave.

No, why is that?

Rainer.

That's how I need you, my darling.
Take them down!

Assert yourself!

We have already lost far too much
time already. Do you understand?

Dig in!

Thilo!

Get ready for
the next setting.

Constance in the hallway
walks thoughtfully into the kitchen.

I'm no longer involved.

I'm not doing it anymore.
I'm not filming with Gregor anymore.

You get your ass in gear!
- No!

If you don't go to the set right away,
I'll take you there myself.

Has anyone here heard that? Yes?
Do I have a witness? Are there any witnesses?

Is there stuff here...

You bastards!
You can kiss my ass!

Once and for all!

You stay.
That costs me 50,000 a day!

I'll sic my lawyers on you
on your neck!

The stupid ...

Shit.

Shit.

Shit.

Closing time!

Closing time!

I can rely on you
I can rely on you, can't I?

I am your friend.
I've always done everything for you.

Yes, yes. You know only too well that
you can rely on me.

I'll get you your pills.
I'll get you everything.

But we have to find a way
to keep turning.

That costs me huge sums of money.

Where is Finzi?
Is he there yet? Landed?

Finzi just called.
He's stayed in the Bahamas.

He sends a message,
he needs to cure his burnout.

And he is sorry.

(Holy shit.

What do we do now?

We need to find a replacement immediately.

In a hurry
recast two leading actors?

I don't care who plays it!

Bring me the people!
We'll continue filming tomorrow!

Even if the casters
are working at full speed,

we stand here
for at least a week.

Peter?

Peter?

Peter!

Do you think
the movie will work out?

I have no idea.

Too bad about the pimples.
It was so much work.

Well, I'll have a look around
for a new job.

On the other hand,
they have to pay me up to the 3rd.

Do you think
that Gregor will last much longer?

A terrible misanthrope.
He also has bad breath.

The socks with the paisley pattern
I'd rather keep them.

Whether I can recognize the diamond-shaped
constellation of blackheads

on my daughter's forehead
ever get it that good again?

Why can't he be a director?

He's certainly not
such a misanthrope.
