00:00:35,522 --> 00:00:38,521
"WHEN REVIEWING MY LIFE,
I SPENT 95% OF THE TIME
2
00:00:38,522 --> 00:00:42,502
LOOKING FOR MONEY
TO MAKE MOVIES
3
00:00:42,503 --> 00:00:45,519
AND 5% DOING THEM
4
00:00:45,520 --> 00:00:51,820
"THAT IS NOT LIFE"
ORSON WELLES (1915-1985)
5
00:00:56,703 --> 00:00:59,701
I have not sung
in a Broadway musical,
6
00:00:59,702 --> 00:01:02,719
but I have done everything,
for better or worse.
7
00:01:02,720 --> 00:01:04,719
I made small films
and big.
8
00:01:04,720 --> 00:01:07,699
I made daytime soap operas
and nocturnal.
9
00:01:07,700 --> 00:01:10,714
I did mini-series, I acted
on and off Broadway,
10
00:01:10,715 --> 00:01:14,708
I did radio
and returned to the movies
11
00:01:14,709 --> 00:01:19,016
because when it's good,
It is unique.
12
00:01:22,720 --> 00:01:27,717
I have the belief that
I have never made a good one.
13
00:01:27,718 --> 00:01:32,723
Sometimes I felt like I was a pawn
from a qualified director.
14
00:01:32,724 --> 00:01:37,029
I was the spatula to turn
Mike Nichols Tortillas.
15
00:01:37,709 --> 00:01:39,716
I was not the omelet,
16
00:01:39,717 --> 00:01:42,725
nor spinach and olives
in the tortilla.
17
00:01:42,726 --> 00:01:46,712
Maybe I was the salt
with which it is seasoned,
18
00:01:46,713 --> 00:01:51,718
or the director obstructed everything
the good I could do.
19
00:01:51,719 --> 00:01:54,704
They were all incapable.
20
00:01:54,705 --> 00:01:56,710
You try to ignore the director,
21
00:01:56,711 --> 00:01:59,726
or do you pretend it doesn't exist
and you try to avoid it,
22
00:01:59,727 --> 00:02:05,722
but it's like avoiding the vagina
when you leave your mother.
23
00:02:05,723 --> 00:02:09,023
How can you do it?
24
00:02:14,708 --> 00:02:17,714
The pinnacle is a good film,
with a good director.
25
00:02:17,715 --> 00:02:21,701
I received a call
from my agent
26
00:02:21,702 --> 00:02:24,728
and I was in...
27
00:02:24,729 --> 00:02:28,706
...the worst moment
of my divorce.
28
00:02:28,707 --> 00:02:31,723
That was the worst moment
of my life,
29
00:02:31,724 --> 00:02:34,713
but my phone rang
30
00:02:34,714 --> 00:02:37,704
and my agent asked me:
"How are you?"
31
00:02:37,705 --> 00:02:41,717
I told him what had happened
a terrible and disputed day.
32
00:02:41,718 --> 00:02:46,718
He asked me to go to the place
where he was declaring
33
00:02:46,719 --> 00:02:51,714
and to ask everyone
that they called me Juan Trippe.
34
00:02:51,715 --> 00:02:54,700
It was the sign that Scorsese
35
00:02:54,701 --> 00:02:56,720
had given me
a role in his film.
36
00:02:56,721 --> 00:03:01,721
I would have liked to see you there,
Juan, it was exciting.
37
00:03:01,722 --> 00:03:05,029
As you want, but
you must answer for the goose.
38
00:03:06,704 --> 00:03:11,728
His name is Hercules
and it's going to fly, damn it!
39
00:03:11,729 --> 00:03:12,728
I hope so.
40
00:03:12,729 --> 00:03:16,717
The people of the USA deserve
something for its $13 million.
41
00:03:16,718 --> 00:03:19,018
People think...
42
00:03:20,700 --> 00:03:23,013
Think it's about the money.
43
00:03:24,700 --> 00:03:27,023
And think that it is
of fame,
44
00:03:27,712 --> 00:03:30,703
and thinks it's about the ego,
45
00:03:30,704 --> 00:03:33,726
but when Scorsese
He gave me that role,
46
00:03:33,727 --> 00:03:38,005
I can't tell you
what it meant to me.
47
00:03:52,726 --> 00:03:56,711
ONLY THOSE WHO LIVE LIVE
WILLING TO DIE
48
00:03:56,712 --> 00:03:58,021
SAMUEL JOHNSON
49
00:03:59,708 --> 00:04:01,706
I DON'T FEAR DEATH,
50
00:04:01,707 --> 00:04:04,699
BUT I DON'T WANT TO BE
WHEN IT HAPPENS. WOODY ALLEN
51
00:04:04,700 --> 00:04:07,029
I want to know
if they are willing to die
52
00:04:07,700 --> 00:04:13,699
because if not, you can't live
and I am ready to die
53
00:04:13,700 --> 00:04:17,713
since he spent eight days on LSD
when I was 19 years old.
54
00:04:17,714 --> 00:04:20,724
Films are oxygen
of my being.
55
00:04:20,725 --> 00:04:24,016
They give it structure
to the chaos of my life.
56
00:04:24,718 --> 00:04:27,717
Why do I want to do
a film with you?
57
00:04:27,718 --> 00:04:31,011
They must have made you
that question.
58
00:04:31,720 --> 00:04:34,705
Why did you betray me?
I thought he liked it.
59
00:04:34,706 --> 00:04:37,726
We can teach ourselves to
get out of this city alive?
60
00:04:37,727 --> 00:04:40,728
- I'm ready.
- Stay ready in your room.
61
00:04:40,729 --> 00:04:43,728
- How do I have fun?
- Learn your dialogues.
62
00:04:43,729 --> 00:04:46,704
- I know my dialogues,
-Yes?
63
00:04:46,705 --> 00:04:48,721
Although I don't know the order.
64
00:04:48,722 --> 00:04:54,020
I trust you,
but I have trusted people...
65
00:04:55,700 --> 00:04:59,714
...which I shouldn't have trusted,
like the one who takes care of those dogs.
66
00:04:59,715 --> 00:05:02,017
I should kill him.
67
00:05:03,724 --> 00:05:07,720
What fascinates me
about what we face,
68
00:05:07,721 --> 00:05:12,699
and what excites me,
is that we are going to do something
69
00:05:12,700 --> 00:05:14,711
I don't consider it
a documentary,
70
00:05:14,712 --> 00:05:19,714
not even a fiction film,
but the film without category
71
00:05:19,715 --> 00:05:23,705
"Seduced and Abandoned"
about our trip to Cannes,
72
00:05:23,706 --> 00:05:26,726
to celebrate cinema,
its realization, the filmmakers
73
00:05:26,727 --> 00:05:29,706
and a festival in his honor,
74
00:05:29,707 --> 00:05:33,709
with the intention
to find financing
75
00:05:33,710 --> 00:05:36,709
for this intimate film
which we are referring to,
76
00:05:36,710 --> 00:05:39,705
using big politics
as background,
77
00:05:39,706 --> 00:05:42,717
without presenting it
with great grandeur.
78
00:05:42,718 --> 00:05:45,716
Our version
from "Last Tango in Paris"
79
00:05:45,717 --> 00:05:49,019
will be "Last Tango in Tikrit".
80
00:05:49,706 --> 00:05:51,725
CINEMATIC SOCIETY
LINCOLN CENTER
81
00:05:51,726 --> 00:05:55,703
Welcome to the scriptwriter
and director James Toback
82
00:05:55,704 --> 00:06:00,018
and someone very well known,
actor Alec Baldwin.
83
00:06:02,705 --> 00:06:04,723
- Give me the scissors.
- What?
84
00:06:04,724 --> 00:06:06,714
Nail scissors.
85
00:06:06,715 --> 00:06:09,702
What do you see in "Last Tango",
86
00:06:09,703 --> 00:06:14,723
what makes you want to do
a similar film with me?
87
00:06:14,724 --> 00:06:18,700
Ideally, it would be
our analogous attempt
88
00:06:18,701 --> 00:06:22,710
to delete the line
between the actor and the role
89
00:06:22,711 --> 00:06:28,008
and create something bold and dark
from you and for you.
90
00:06:28,726 --> 00:06:31,705
I want you to put your fingers
in my anus.
91
00:06:31,706 --> 00:06:32,706
What?
92
00:06:32,707 --> 00:06:36,003
Put your fingers in my anus.
Are you deaf?
93
00:06:37,722 --> 00:06:40,001
Forward.
94
00:06:43,705 --> 00:06:49,015
I'm going to look for a pig
for me to fuck you
95
00:06:49,703 --> 00:06:51,725
and I want the pig to vomit
on your face,
96
00:06:51,726 --> 00:06:55,016
and I want you to swallow
the vomit
97
00:06:55,700 --> 00:06:56,711
Are you going to do it for me?
98
00:06:56,712 --> 00:06:59,015
Yes! Yes!
99
00:06:59,718 --> 00:07:03,023
I want the pig to die
while they fuck,
100
00:07:03,717 --> 00:07:09,024
and I want you to smell the farts
of the dying pig.
101
00:07:10,709 --> 00:07:12,706
Are you going to do it for me?
102
00:07:12,707 --> 00:07:14,704
Yes, and more than that!
103
00:07:14,705 --> 00:07:18,013
Something worse
and something worse than before!
104
00:07:20,709 --> 00:07:25,728
It is clear that Brando
He became Brando
105
00:07:25,729 --> 00:07:29,714
when I did those scenes.
One of the master achievements
106
00:07:29,715 --> 00:07:32,719
in the history of directors
directing actors,
107
00:07:32,720 --> 00:07:35,703
It was Bertolucci achieving that.
by Brando.
108
00:07:35,704 --> 00:07:37,715
You have described better than anyone
109
00:07:37,716 --> 00:07:41,029
you want to create a character
close to me.
110
00:07:41,700 --> 00:07:45,029
It can be within a script
or improvising,
111
00:07:45,700 --> 00:07:49,719
but it must be violent
and a woman is needed.
112
00:07:49,720 --> 00:07:53,701
Just like I said,
I can't pinpoint the reason
113
00:07:53,702 --> 00:07:58,008
and I can't do it because
We have the right woman.
114
00:07:59,705 --> 00:08:04,707
After I met you,
I told him it had to be you.
115
00:08:04,708 --> 00:08:07,716
My experience with Jim
It has been exploratory.
116
00:08:07,717 --> 00:08:10,029
There were no limitations.
117
00:08:10,700 --> 00:08:14,704
We were trying to find things
every day.
118
00:08:14,705 --> 00:08:17,699
I wonder
yes it will be difficult to find
119
00:08:17,700 --> 00:08:19,712
$25 million in Cannes
for this film.
120
00:08:19,713 --> 00:08:22,725
- Especially without a script.
- Yes, exactly, so...
121
00:08:22,726 --> 00:08:27,724
Do you think so? What?
You didn't tell me that.
122
00:08:27,725 --> 00:08:33,724
I want you to come with us.
In addition to being very fun,
123
00:08:33,725 --> 00:08:39,703
we would be faithful to you as part
of the cast to look for money,
124
00:08:39,704 --> 00:08:43,711
with the certainty that if not
It's you, there will be no movie.
125
00:08:43,712 --> 00:08:44,725
Very good, fabulous.
126
00:08:44,726 --> 00:08:48,029
We are not going to access
when someone says
127
00:08:48,700 --> 00:08:52,019
that we will have the movie
if we use...
128
00:08:56,710 --> 00:09:00,714
NICE AIRPORT,
FRENCH RIVIERA
129
00:09:00,715 --> 00:09:03,016
MAY 14, 2012
130
00:09:10,712 --> 00:09:13,020
-Alec!
- Hello.
131
00:09:19,705 --> 00:09:21,025
Did you see Larry?
132
00:09:21,713 --> 00:09:28,000
�My God, Claudia Cardinale
and Marcello Mastroianni!
133
00:09:31,700 --> 00:09:35,702
�How do you feel an hour before
of losing virginity
134
00:09:35,703 --> 00:09:36,726
from the Cannes Film Festival?
135
00:09:36,727 --> 00:09:39,708
I'm happy
for losing my virginity
136
00:09:39,709 --> 00:09:40,728
from the French Riviera.
137
00:09:40,729 --> 00:09:43,726
�You have traveled so much
and you didn't know the Riviera?
138
00:09:43,727 --> 00:09:48,012
Never, and now that I see her,
Maybe I'll never leave.
139
00:09:51,718 --> 00:09:54,714
�What sets Cannes apart
140
00:09:54,715 --> 00:09:59,025
of the hundreds of festivals
What is there in the whole world?
141
00:09:59,702 --> 00:10:03,712
Two things: First, the story
and not only in years,
142
00:10:03,713 --> 00:10:08,723
but in the characters who have
come in these six decades.
143
00:10:08,724 --> 00:10:11,726
Everyone
and from everywhere:
144
00:10:11,727 --> 00:10:15,700
Hitchcock, Bardot, Wells,
145
00:10:15,701 --> 00:10:18,710
Cocteau, Moreau, Kera Stamey,
146
00:10:18,711 --> 00:10:21,710
Groucho Mark, Gregory Peck,
Juan Carl White,
147
00:10:21,711 --> 00:10:24,718
Gary Cooper, Beatty, Mizoguchi,
Lauren, Micky Rourke.
148
00:10:24,719 --> 00:10:25,724
And second?
149
00:10:25,725 --> 00:10:29,721
Because it is a market
to buy and sell
150
00:10:29,722 --> 00:10:33,707
and get financing
What we are looking for,
151
00:10:33,708 --> 00:10:37,706
in addition to the celebration
of cinema as art.
152
00:10:37,707 --> 00:10:40,716
It's a festival
with double personality,
153
00:10:40,717 --> 00:10:45,008
like the film we are in
currently doing.
154
00:11:21,720 --> 00:11:23,721
This week
we have meetings
155
00:11:23,722 --> 00:11:26,713
with foreign sellers
most important
156
00:11:26,714 --> 00:11:30,705
and with several millionaires,
and I hope that one of them
157
00:11:30,706 --> 00:11:33,706
beg us
that we accept your money.
158
00:11:33,707 --> 00:11:34,726
I hope on my knees.
159
00:11:34,727 --> 00:11:37,709
But first
We will see Bertolucci.
160
00:11:37,710 --> 00:11:39,708
Then we go
to the inauguration
161
00:11:39,709 --> 00:11:43,720
and we will see other luminaries
while we look for the money.
162
00:11:43,721 --> 00:11:47,029
Natalie comes to see us,
Bernardo's assistant.
163
00:11:47,700 --> 00:11:50,705
recommends us
let's interview him here,
164
00:11:50,706 --> 00:11:51,720
at the Carlton Hotel.
165
00:11:51,721 --> 00:11:53,711
In a suite or at the table?
166
00:11:53,712 --> 00:11:56,700
Wherever,
but I recommend the suite.
167
00:11:56,701 --> 00:11:58,699
Let's do it
in my room,
168
00:11:58,700 --> 00:12:01,705
so that it enters
in the Bertolucci suite
169
00:12:01,706 --> 00:12:08,006
and I ask him to apologize
because it's my room.
170
00:12:08,718 --> 00:12:13,012
I was wondering if they were going to take you out
from my room.
171
00:12:14,712 --> 00:12:16,728
Take away your name and put mine.
172
00:12:16,729 --> 00:12:19,722
It is interchangeable.
This part is removed.
173
00:12:19,723 --> 00:12:24,713
The sexual dialogue
It doesn't seem improvised
174
00:12:24,714 --> 00:12:26,728
but it comes from him.
175
00:12:26,729 --> 00:12:32,017
No, it's a guy
of manipulation.
176
00:12:32,700 --> 00:12:35,725
He used all the dialogues
that existed before.
177
00:12:35,726 --> 00:12:37,712
For example,
178
00:12:37,713 --> 00:12:41,718
when he is
near the dead wife,
179
00:12:41,719 --> 00:12:46,021
I started with a line of...
180
00:12:47,715 --> 00:12:48,720
...Strinberg.
181
00:12:48,721 --> 00:12:54,008
Maybe you can understand
the universe, but...
182
00:12:55,726 --> 00:12:59,029
...never find out
the truth about you.
183
00:12:59,706 --> 00:13:03,703
It started with that
and then he began to say:
184
00:13:03,704 --> 00:13:07,026
"You're a fucking liar."
And he continued with that.
185
00:13:07,702 --> 00:13:10,722
Cheap, damn,
lost bitch,
186
00:13:10,723 --> 00:13:12,719
I hope you go to Hell.
187
00:13:12,720 --> 00:13:16,706
you are worse
than a street pig.
188
00:13:16,707 --> 00:13:20,717
Do you know why?
Because you lied.
189
00:13:20,718 --> 00:13:23,713
You lied to me.
I trusted you, but you lied.
190
00:13:23,714 --> 00:13:27,716
Start with that and then
changes completely,
191
00:13:27,717 --> 00:13:29,023
but he makes it his own.
192
00:13:29,702 --> 00:13:33,705
�He felt grateful
Why could he do that?
193
00:13:33,706 --> 00:13:36,724
He didn't talk to me
for five years.
194
00:13:36,725 --> 00:13:41,027
I called him and said:
"Marlon, I know you're there."
195
00:13:42,708 --> 00:13:44,722
Why do you think he did that?
196
00:13:44,723 --> 00:13:50,718
Maybe you felt
betrayed by me
197
00:13:50,719 --> 00:13:53,724
because I stole from him
198
00:13:53,725 --> 00:13:57,720
many sincere things
of himself,
199
00:13:57,721 --> 00:14:00,707
true things about him.
200
00:14:00,708 --> 00:14:02,716
Maybe he felt cheated
for me,
201
00:14:02,717 --> 00:14:07,719
but he was a man
49 or 50 years old.
202
00:14:07,720 --> 00:14:11,002
I was 30, 31.
203
00:14:11,701 --> 00:14:14,712
ON THE ROUTE TO THE INAUGURATION
FROM CANNES
204
00:14:14,713 --> 00:14:17,717
The first time I came,
I slept in my car.
205
00:14:17,718 --> 00:14:21,711
I came from Lyon and it was easy
because I was a student
206
00:14:21,712 --> 00:14:27,711
and I couldn't watch any film,
but I was here.
207
00:14:27,712 --> 00:14:30,724
When I first came
in 1970,
208
00:14:30,725 --> 00:14:37,024
there were exactly three
US journalists in Cannes.
209
00:14:37,703 --> 00:14:39,700
It was very strange.
210
00:14:39,701 --> 00:14:43,703
People here talk about films
since the morning,
211
00:14:43,704 --> 00:14:45,726
until the last whiskey
of the night.
212
00:14:45,727 --> 00:14:49,705
Here is a combination
fabulous
213
00:14:49,706 --> 00:14:52,720
of the art of cinema.
214
00:14:52,721 --> 00:14:55,722
There is a great reverence
and a lot of respect.
215
00:14:55,723 --> 00:15:00,705
There is a tradition in the form
to receive the films
216
00:15:00,706 --> 00:15:02,025
and honor the filmmakers,
217
00:15:02,700 --> 00:15:06,008
like nowhere else
of the world.
218
00:15:06,710 --> 00:15:10,710
He was very young, he was 24 years old,
219
00:15:10,711 --> 00:15:13,723
and with "Before the Revolution",
my second film,
220
00:15:13,724 --> 00:15:17,723
was invited
to Criticism Week
221
00:15:17,724 --> 00:15:20,713
and here we go.
222
00:15:20,714 --> 00:15:26,029
The only ones who saw it
were the Italian critics.
223
00:15:26,707 --> 00:15:30,029
They didn't like it,
but the French loved it
224
00:15:30,700 --> 00:15:34,018
and I decided to convert
in French.
225
00:15:34,702 --> 00:15:38,712
For decades there has been a
deep division in France
226
00:15:38,713 --> 00:15:41,728
between Cahiers Du Cin�ma
and Positif.
227
00:15:41,729 --> 00:15:45,700
Cahiers Du Cin�ma was famous
in the 50's
228
00:15:45,701 --> 00:15:50,700
because all its filmmakers
They formed the New Wave.
229
00:15:50,701 --> 00:15:54,726
They were enthusiastic
of American films
230
00:15:54,727 --> 00:15:57,713
like Sam Fuller's
and Nicholas Ray,
231
00:15:57,714 --> 00:16:01,714
but his films
They were not recognized in the USA.
232
00:16:01,715 --> 00:16:07,715
They were opposed to what Truffaut
called Cin�ma Du Papa,
233
00:16:07,716 --> 00:16:10,718
that followed the tradition
of quality cinema.
234
00:16:10,719 --> 00:16:14,709
When the New Wave began
in Italian and French films,
235
00:16:14,710 --> 00:16:17,710
we already knew
the Cannes Film Festival
236
00:16:17,711 --> 00:16:22,721
and in a way
It was the Valdhalla of cinema.
237
00:16:22,722 --> 00:16:24,713
This was the place.
238
00:16:24,714 --> 00:16:29,704
I never miss a festival.
I find it exciting.
239
00:16:29,705 --> 00:16:31,721
It's where you plan the year
240
00:16:31,722 --> 00:16:36,700
and see half of the films
important in ten days.
241
00:16:36,701 --> 00:16:37,718
It is essential.
242
00:16:37,719 --> 00:16:40,724
Le Filme Francais presents
a daily guide
243
00:16:40,725 --> 00:16:43,711
with what the critics say
244
00:16:43,712 --> 00:16:47,723
and if you search the list
of Positif and Cahiers,
245
00:16:47,724 --> 00:16:51,702
They are 99% opposite.
246
00:16:51,703 --> 00:16:53,717
It seems that
will be consulted before
247
00:16:53,718 --> 00:16:56,726
to never agree.
248
00:16:56,727 --> 00:17:00,706
Thank you very much for coming.
It's a pleasure to see you.
249
00:17:00,707 --> 00:17:06,707
I was invited to the jury
of the festival in the famous 68.
250
00:17:06,708 --> 00:17:09,709
Francois Truffaut told me:
251
00:17:09,710 --> 00:17:14,728
"You must come right away,
to support Henri Langlois
252
00:17:14,729 --> 00:17:20,029
and make them return it
to the Cin�math�que."
253
00:17:20,707 --> 00:17:26,029
He was an adored man
for the youth, and I include myself,
254
00:17:26,700 --> 00:17:30,713
but he directed the Cin�math�que
with a lot of disorder.
255
00:17:30,714 --> 00:17:35,029
He kept copies of films
under his bed.
256
00:17:35,700 --> 00:17:38,724
Langlois was an icon.
I adored Henri Langlois,
257
00:17:38,725 --> 00:17:44,719
but the government of the time
I didn't want it
258
00:17:44,720 --> 00:17:49,718
and that created discontent
among Paris students
259
00:17:49,719 --> 00:17:52,725
that spread and degenerated
260
00:17:52,726 --> 00:17:58,714
in the revolution of May 68,
or whatever you want to call it.
261
00:17:58,715 --> 00:18:02,699
When I arrived, I knew they wanted
disrupt the Festival.
262
00:18:02,700 --> 00:18:07,708
They said he had to be stopped.
I remember Goudard shouting:
263
00:18:07,709 --> 00:18:13,010
"Comrades, they are coming
the students of Nice."
264
00:18:13,723 --> 00:18:18,728
As the word suggests,
a festival is for fun
265
00:18:18,729 --> 00:18:24,024
and they were angry, but not
Nothing would change if they stopped him.
266
00:18:24,702 --> 00:18:29,707
What's more, it added a joy
absurd to all that.
267
00:18:29,708 --> 00:18:32,714
I enjoyed a lot
when "Mean Streets" was on.
268
00:18:32,715 --> 00:18:35,723
I went, I had a good time,
I was at the Carlton,
269
00:18:35,724 --> 00:18:38,724
where I met a lot of people.
270
00:18:38,725 --> 00:18:42,706
There were interviews
and the people praised each other.
271
00:18:42,707 --> 00:18:49,007
He returned with "Azziza Copso
NovoCento 1900"...
272
00:18:49,701 --> 00:18:51,716
...and it was difficult to present it
273
00:18:51,717 --> 00:18:55,700
because it lasted
a little more than five hours.
274
00:18:55,701 --> 00:18:59,723
There was a day
dedicated to this film.
275
00:18:59,724 --> 00:19:03,713
The festival stopped,
there was only "NovoCento".
276
00:19:03,714 --> 00:19:08,029
The first part in the afternoon
and the second part at night.
277
00:19:09,724 --> 00:19:14,720
It was the best moment
of my megalomania.
278
00:19:14,721 --> 00:19:18,027
If I see the film again,
or a part of the film,
279
00:19:18,718 --> 00:19:21,720
I'm going to see myself
280
00:19:21,721 --> 00:19:25,717
in a kind
of ocean of pleasure
281
00:19:25,718 --> 00:19:29,710
for the year he spent filming it.
I was young, I had desires
282
00:19:29,711 --> 00:19:33,029
and I saw that my desires
They were satisfied.
283
00:19:33,700 --> 00:19:38,705
I spent two days with DeNiro,
Jodi Foster and I think Harvey.
284
00:19:38,706 --> 00:19:42,702
Tennessee Williams directed
the jury and rejected violence,
285
00:19:42,703 --> 00:19:45,725
but we had dinner with Serge Leoni
and Costa-Gavras,
286
00:19:45,726 --> 00:19:48,709
who were on the jury,
and they liked it.
287
00:19:48,710 --> 00:19:53,707
We had dinner at L'Oasis,
We spoke with Leoni and Costa.
288
00:19:53,708 --> 00:19:59,007
We thanked them, we left
and the movie won.
289
00:20:00,703 --> 00:20:01,726
Screw Tennessee Williams.
290
00:20:01,727 --> 00:20:04,717
What's wrong with him?
I like your work.
291
00:20:04,718 --> 00:20:07,019
The only thing I do is praise him.
292
00:20:13,701 --> 00:20:16,700
When young,
I went to Cannes with the film
293
00:20:16,701 --> 00:20:20,717
"You're a Big Boy Now"
with Elizabeth Hartman,
294
00:20:20,718 --> 00:20:23,723
who was a wonderful young woman
295
00:20:23,724 --> 00:20:26,715
and Tony Billman, who was a boy.
296
00:20:26,716 --> 00:20:30,720
It was a dream
and it deteriorates little by little.
297
00:20:30,721 --> 00:20:34,720
It wasn't a film festival.
It was a movie market,
298
00:20:34,721 --> 00:20:37,728
where all the people
she was knowledgeable
299
00:20:37,729 --> 00:20:43,701
and I knew if your film would do
well before yourself.
300
00:20:43,702 --> 00:20:45,728
It seemed to me
an aggressive environment.
301
00:20:45,729 --> 00:20:48,726
You didn't look for money
in that market?
302
00:20:48,727 --> 00:20:52,029
- No, and I didn't want to go back.
- You didn't come back?
303
00:20:52,700 --> 00:20:55,721
No, and it's not the fault of
Cannes administrators.
304
00:20:55,722 --> 00:20:59,723
It's the people that attract
305
00:20:59,724 --> 00:21:04,023
and the press it attracts.
It looks like a bullfight.
306
00:21:04,700 --> 00:21:07,719
It was after the Film Festival
from 1977,
307
00:21:07,720 --> 00:21:10,722
when robert altman
brought her film "3 Women."
308
00:21:10,723 --> 00:21:12,713
Pauline Keal was a juror.
309
00:21:12,714 --> 00:21:15,719
It was the only time he came
to the Cannes Film Festival.
310
00:21:15,720 --> 00:21:18,711
The film won the award
for the best actress,
311
00:21:18,712 --> 00:21:20,721
but Altman won nothing.
312
00:21:20,722 --> 00:21:23,721
I went to the airport
the day after the festival.
313
00:21:23,722 --> 00:21:28,711
Pauline was there, Altman arrived,
saw Pauline,
314
00:21:28,712 --> 00:21:31,721
and told him, despite being friends
for 7 years:
315
00:21:31,722 --> 00:21:35,703
"Damned harlot,
You were going to like my film.
316
00:21:35,704 --> 00:21:39,723
You were going to support me and you didn't like it.
"You didn't give me a prize."
317
00:21:39,724 --> 00:21:44,018
He exploded in front of everyone.
It was embarrassing.
318
00:21:45,701 --> 00:21:46,718
Tell me about Damon.
319
00:21:46,719 --> 00:21:51,728
It's legendary in this world
of film finances.
320
00:21:51,729 --> 00:21:55,713
- Do you use that word?
- Yes, he was a pioneer.
321
00:21:55,714 --> 00:21:57,700
Pioneer in what?
322
00:21:57,701 --> 00:22:00,701
In the sales process
abroad,
323
00:22:00,702 --> 00:22:03,715
to finance films
324
00:22:03,716 --> 00:22:07,705
based on the names
in the cast and a screening.
325
00:22:07,706 --> 00:22:09,029
- In pre-sale.
- Correct.
326
00:22:09,700 --> 00:22:12,702
I present a business plan
possible
327
00:22:12,703 --> 00:22:16,715
and, if I can project
What will the sales be?
328
00:22:16,716 --> 00:22:19,719
and I show what I should
happen in the USA
329
00:22:19,720 --> 00:22:22,720
and they will get their money back
with profits,
330
00:22:22,721 --> 00:22:26,017
can I finance the film
whatever you want.
331
00:22:26,702 --> 00:22:29,706
I just got
$80 million,
332
00:22:29,707 --> 00:22:32,721
for a film with Denzel
Washington and Mark Wahlberg.
333
00:22:32,722 --> 00:22:37,704
Where does the money come from?
Are you looking for it in several countries?
334
00:22:37,705 --> 00:22:41,707
It comes from everywhere.
For my next movie,
335
00:22:41,708 --> 00:22:45,711
I have money
from Saudi Arabia and Russia.
336
00:22:45,712 --> 00:22:49,726
There is more money now
proportional to inflation,
337
00:22:49,727 --> 00:22:51,713
or is there less money?
338
00:22:51,714 --> 00:22:52,726
I would say there are less.
339
00:22:52,727 --> 00:22:57,713
Please I have to warn
why are we late? I'm coming.
340
00:22:57,714 --> 00:23:02,029
I want to ask you something.
341
00:23:02,700 --> 00:23:04,709
I have Alec
for my next film.
342
00:23:04,710 --> 00:23:06,720
It's an adventure
romantic-politics,
343
00:23:06,721 --> 00:23:08,724
set
in the Middle East.
344
00:23:08,725 --> 00:23:12,714
Would you be interested in financing
a film with Alec,
345
00:23:12,715 --> 00:23:15,717
Neve Campbell
and three or four more names?
346
00:23:15,718 --> 00:23:19,702
Political-romantic adventure,
between 15 and 20 million.
347
00:23:19,703 --> 00:23:25,003
Neve Campbell is wonderful,
348
00:23:25,700 --> 00:23:28,723
but nowadays
It has no commercial value.
349
00:23:28,724 --> 00:23:29,724
Correct.
350
00:23:29,725 --> 00:23:33,017
Alec Baldwin is sensational,
351
00:23:33,705 --> 00:23:38,717
but it does not suggest
a theatrical film.
352
00:23:38,718 --> 00:23:42,719
Just to know, although our
film couldn't cost less,
353
00:23:42,720 --> 00:23:49,009
what would be the figure
What would be achieved with that cast?
354
00:23:53,710 --> 00:23:56,001
Four or five million.
355
00:23:56,700 --> 00:23:58,711
- I'm too old for that.
- Really?
356
00:23:58,712 --> 00:24:00,713
I don't have the...
357
00:24:00,714 --> 00:24:02,714
It's horrendous.
358
00:24:02,715 --> 00:24:07,029
It is very high, or it is very low.
Nothing in between.
359
00:24:07,703 --> 00:24:11,721
- There is never enough money.
- Do you fight to get money?
360
00:24:11,722 --> 00:24:16,703
I had a lot of problems
to film "Repulsion"
361
00:24:16,704 --> 00:24:20,707
because, unfortunately,
we double the budget.
362
00:24:20,708 --> 00:24:22,709
The budget of "Repulsion"
363
00:24:22,710 --> 00:24:27,018
It was 41,000 pounds.
364
00:24:27,717 --> 00:24:31,713
and it ended up costing about 90.
365
00:24:31,714 --> 00:24:32,721
- Correct.
- Why?
366
00:24:32,722 --> 00:24:36,715
We wanted to make a film
with 90,000 pounds.
367
00:24:36,716 --> 00:24:40,726
I have an Australian distributor
and another Russian.
368
00:24:40,727 --> 00:24:44,710
They are waiting for me
to give me money.
369
00:24:44,711 --> 00:24:47,705
There is politics, there is adventure,
there is sex
370
00:24:47,706 --> 00:24:48,728
There should be comedy.
371
00:24:48,729 --> 00:24:50,726
- No, no, no...
- Is there no comedy?
372
00:24:50,727 --> 00:24:55,702
- There will be some humor.
- There must be comedy.
373
00:24:55,703 --> 00:24:56,721
- Do you think so?
- Clear.
374
00:24:56,722 --> 00:24:59,021
Why are you wearing a tuxedo?
375
00:25:00,700 --> 00:25:03,706
It's after six.
Am I a farmer?
376
00:25:03,707 --> 00:25:05,712
I know "30 Rock" well.
377
00:25:05,713 --> 00:25:10,020
But there is something.
Do you have a submarine?
378
00:25:12,724 --> 00:25:14,724
Where is the Alpha, Josei?
379
00:25:14,725 --> 00:25:18,708
You made the submarine film
a long time ago.
380
00:25:18,709 --> 00:25:20,708
We need action
and submarines.
381
00:25:20,709 --> 00:25:24,726
You can put sex in it.
He lacked it in the other.
382
00:25:24,727 --> 00:25:28,023
- "The last tango with missiles."
- Of course.
383
00:25:30,727 --> 00:25:33,712
If it wasn't a gangster film,
384
00:25:33,713 --> 00:25:36,716
or of some kind
with which he was associated,
385
00:25:36,717 --> 00:25:40,721
I had to ask myself
How was I going to make that film.
386
00:25:40,722 --> 00:25:43,716
I didn't know where to start.
387
00:25:43,717 --> 00:25:46,710
Nobody wanted me to do
"Apocalypse Now"
388
00:25:46,711 --> 00:25:50,702
after "The Godfather"
and the Oscars I won.
389
00:25:50,703 --> 00:25:52,717
What's more, he had six Oscars,
390
00:25:52,718 --> 00:25:56,728
but I threw them out the window
and they broke.
391
00:25:56,729 --> 00:26:00,029
my mother told me
that I shouldn't do that.
392
00:26:00,700 --> 00:26:03,702
Then I picked up the pieces,
393
00:26:03,703 --> 00:26:08,702
went to the Academy in LA
and said to them:
394
00:26:08,703 --> 00:26:12,719
"My poor son, the maid
"I was cleaning the scars."
395
00:26:12,720 --> 00:26:15,029
I was very frustrated and said:
396
00:26:15,700 --> 00:26:20,717
"What do I have to do to
make the film I want?"
397
00:26:20,718 --> 00:26:23,704
Can we help with the actress?
398
00:26:23,705 --> 00:26:25,724
a new star
Like Jessica Chestain.
399
00:26:25,725 --> 00:26:29,707
Listen,
I'm not going to betray Neve.
400
00:26:29,708 --> 00:26:31,699
I love her, I worked with her.
401
00:26:31,700 --> 00:26:34,723
I can invent another role
for Neve.
402
00:26:34,724 --> 00:26:39,029
- Neve could be the spy.
-And we can use Jessica.
403
00:26:39,700 --> 00:26:40,714
Shall we kill Neve?
404
00:26:40,715 --> 00:26:42,726
We don't kill her, we hurt her
405
00:26:42,727 --> 00:26:46,705
and appears with his arm
in a sling.
406
00:26:46,706 --> 00:26:48,721
If Neve shows up, we kill her.
407
00:26:48,722 --> 00:26:51,029
It would make you a star.
408
00:26:52,717 --> 00:26:56,699
�What is the probability
with Damon?
409
00:26:56,700 --> 00:26:57,708
Two to one against.
410
00:26:57,709 --> 00:27:00,699
Yes? I say six to one
against.
411
00:27:00,700 --> 00:27:02,716
Even if you were right,
don't worry
412
00:27:02,717 --> 00:27:04,726
because we are missing Avi Lerner
413
00:27:04,727 --> 00:27:09,019
and he has more films being shot
than the other sellers combined.
414
00:27:09,701 --> 00:27:12,716
To succeed in this business,
415
00:27:12,717 --> 00:27:15,721
you have to convert
in a very selfish type.
416
00:27:15,722 --> 00:27:20,725
You have to tell your mother,
to your wife, to your children
417
00:27:20,726 --> 00:27:22,726
and to whomever necessary
418
00:27:22,727 --> 00:27:27,699
because it shouldn't be without reason
and without a purpose,
419
00:27:27,700 --> 00:27:33,007
but you tell everyone that this
It's your thing, it's what you are,
420
00:27:33,703 --> 00:27:39,017
and I wasn't able to do it
in all this time.
421
00:27:42,720 --> 00:27:45,703
- What are you doing here?
- We're filming.
422
00:27:45,704 --> 00:27:46,725
Yes? During the festival?
423
00:27:46,726 --> 00:27:51,703
Yes, it's a documentary
with the festival as a background.
424
00:27:51,704 --> 00:27:52,724
What is it about?
425
00:27:52,725 --> 00:27:56,715
Everything you see.
It is a film about the festival.
426
00:27:56,716 --> 00:27:58,700
Is it a documentary?
427
00:27:58,701 --> 00:28:00,712
My partner Jimmy Toback
He is the director.
428
00:28:00,713 --> 00:28:02,702
James Toback?
429
00:28:02,703 --> 00:28:06,708
Yes, sorry, be careful.
I don't want it to fall.
430
00:28:06,709 --> 00:28:09,703
Be careful.
What do you expect from the festival?
431
00:28:09,704 --> 00:28:13,724
First time I come
and I'm very excited.
432
00:28:13,725 --> 00:28:17,009
Thank you very much, Alec Baldwin.
433
00:28:17,711 --> 00:28:20,710
�It's a film
about the Cannes Film Festival?
434
00:28:20,711 --> 00:28:23,723
I did it because the business
of cinema has changed.
435
00:28:23,724 --> 00:28:27,726
I see it very fragile
and I don't know how long it can last
436
00:28:27,727 --> 00:28:30,704
in this era of divisions.
437
00:28:30,705 --> 00:28:33,728
Technology is dividing
to the public slowly,
438
00:28:33,729 --> 00:28:36,714
but something tells me
that is going to fracture.
439
00:28:36,715 --> 00:28:40,704
The movie business
He is the worst lover
440
00:28:40,705 --> 00:28:44,024
because you come back again and again,
441
00:28:44,710 --> 00:28:48,720
trying to repeat that
experience you want to have.
442
00:28:48,721 --> 00:28:53,716
You return with another opportunity
to do what you want
443
00:28:53,717 --> 00:28:57,025
in the realization
and the presentation of the film.
444
00:28:57,708 --> 00:29:02,011
seduces you and abandons you
over and over again.
445
00:29:04,720 --> 00:29:06,704
�Why do you make films?
446
00:29:06,705 --> 00:29:10,720
What does it give you, that it is different
to other options in your life?
447
00:29:10,721 --> 00:29:12,725
I didn't have many options,
448
00:29:12,726 --> 00:29:18,708
separating a nun
as a priest and he was not...
449
00:29:18,709 --> 00:29:19,708
Literally?
450
00:29:19,709 --> 00:29:23,709
Yes, literally. It didn't happen
the first year in the seminary.
451
00:29:23,710 --> 00:29:28,701
Between the world I was in
being asthmatic,
452
00:29:28,702 --> 00:29:30,706
with working parents
453
00:29:30,707 --> 00:29:35,699
and a doctor who wouldn't let me
run or laugh or anything.
454
00:29:35,700 --> 00:29:36,719
He lived in a room.
455
00:29:36,720 --> 00:29:40,703
You started as an assistant
by Pasolini, right?
456
00:29:40,704 --> 00:29:45,027
Before being a director,
Pasolini was a great poet.
457
00:29:45,710 --> 00:29:49,702
Then he moved into the building
where my family lived.
458
00:29:49,703 --> 00:29:53,702
I was 17 years old
and I liked his poems.
459
00:29:53,703 --> 00:29:57,711
I also wrote poems
and, every time one finished,
460
00:29:57,712 --> 00:30:02,699
I came down to show him.
When I was 20 years old, he told me:
461
00:30:02,700 --> 00:30:07,703
"I'm going to make a movie and you're going
to be assistant director."
462
00:30:07,704 --> 00:30:12,706
I told him: "Pier Paolo, never
I've been on a movie set."
463
00:30:12,707 --> 00:30:14,712
And he told me that neither did he.
464
00:30:14,713 --> 00:30:17,711
I found some peace
as altar boy
465
00:30:17,712 --> 00:30:21,703
at the altar
of St. Patrick's Cathedral.
466
00:30:21,704 --> 00:30:23,705
I enjoyed it when I was there
467
00:30:23,706 --> 00:30:27,717
and it was a break from the ugliness
and cruelty
468
00:30:27,718 --> 00:30:29,721
that was in the streets.
469
00:30:29,722 --> 00:30:33,719
Unfortunately,
there was a sordid tragedy
470
00:30:33,720 --> 00:30:37,716
what was happening
around me.
471
00:30:37,717 --> 00:30:41,706
and there was the cinema
which was like the USA.
472
00:30:41,707 --> 00:30:43,724
There is something in that place
called USA,
473
00:30:43,725 --> 00:30:47,714
where there are people with houses,
with fences, and it's serious,
474
00:30:47,715 --> 00:30:50,705
and they were
western movies.
475
00:30:50,706 --> 00:30:54,025
You lived in a hallway
and that was wide.
476
00:30:54,703 --> 00:30:59,722
Those were hard times.
No need to talk
477
00:30:59,723 --> 00:31:03,710
about the period of communism
Stalinist in Poland.
478
00:31:03,711 --> 00:31:08,709
Although there were advantages
and one was film school,
479
00:31:08,710 --> 00:31:13,704
due to a phrase by Lenin:
"Among all the arts,
480
00:31:13,705 --> 00:31:16,716
cinema is the most important
for us."
481
00:31:16,717 --> 00:31:19,712
"We" was socialism.
482
00:31:19,713 --> 00:31:24,027
The school was fantastic.
I have pleasant memories.
483
00:31:24,703 --> 00:31:27,717
When I was young, I was a screenwriter.
for Seven Arts,
484
00:31:27,718 --> 00:31:31,029
the company I bought
Warner Brothers.
485
00:31:31,700 --> 00:31:34,726
I was so happy that
we would buy Warner Brothers,
486
00:31:34,727 --> 00:31:37,709
that I introduced myself
at Warner Brothers
487
00:31:37,710 --> 00:31:40,710
and they believed
that I was going to take care of.
488
00:31:40,711 --> 00:31:45,712
I went to Errol Flynn's dressing room
because he was the best
489
00:31:45,713 --> 00:31:47,723
and I turned it into my office.
490
00:31:47,724 --> 00:31:52,709
After a month they realized that
I wasn't the new manager.
491
00:31:52,710 --> 00:31:54,701
I like sailing
492
00:31:54,702 --> 00:31:57,728
and the most beautiful part
from Poland is Mazury,
493
00:31:57,729 --> 00:32:03,005
which has 200 lakes
that connect.
494
00:32:03,726 --> 00:32:06,704
I like that part
of nature
495
00:32:06,705 --> 00:32:12,020
and it was a dream for me and that's why
I wrote something about the place.
496
00:32:29,712 --> 00:32:35,704
She was received badly in Poland,
especially the match.
497
00:32:35,705 --> 00:32:38,711
Gomuka, the party chief,
he got angry
498
00:32:38,712 --> 00:32:42,723
and threw an ashtray at him
to the screen.
499
00:32:42,724 --> 00:32:47,706
I went to Paris
to try it in the West
500
00:32:47,707 --> 00:32:51,705
because it had been my dream.
501
00:32:51,706 --> 00:32:54,718
I didn't want to stay in Poland.
502
00:32:54,719 --> 00:32:59,706
When I saw that I could express myself
telling a story,
503
00:32:59,707 --> 00:33:03,701
I used the stories they told
my father and my uncle,
504
00:33:03,702 --> 00:33:05,725
and they became
in "Mean Streets" and my...
505
00:33:05,726 --> 00:33:07,699
Was it the first?
506
00:33:07,700 --> 00:33:11,722
Yes, but it is always about
of the obligation to the brother.
507
00:33:11,723 --> 00:33:14,700
That's what I discovered
after 40 years.
508
00:33:14,701 --> 00:33:17,715
It's the same film
about my father and his brother.
509
00:33:17,716 --> 00:33:19,723
What was the obligation
with your brother?
510
00:33:19,724 --> 00:33:22,014
Prevent him from being killed.
511
00:33:23,703 --> 00:33:26,708
Pay the debts,
sign the loans,
512
00:33:26,709 --> 00:33:29,718
go to meetings
because he was like that.
513
00:33:29,719 --> 00:33:34,725
Hey, payday, at least
Go see Tony, okay?
514
00:33:34,726 --> 00:33:38,703
So you will know that
You don't want to make fun of him.
515
00:33:38,704 --> 00:33:39,705
OK.
516
00:33:39,706 --> 00:33:42,717
- I'm not asking you, I'm ordering you!
- Yes!
517
00:33:42,718 --> 00:33:46,719
- Bob Evans saw my films.
- Was he your rabbi?
518
00:33:46,720 --> 00:33:52,026
Yes, Bob Evans was my rabbi
and he told me he had a script.
519
00:33:52,707 --> 00:33:56,722
I went to the studio,
He had the script and said:
520
00:33:56,723 --> 00:33:59,699
"Wait, and I also have this."
521
00:33:59,700 --> 00:34:04,015
They were parts
from "Rosemary's Baby."
522
00:34:04,717 --> 00:34:07,008
What did you do to him?
523
00:34:07,708 --> 00:34:09,716
What did you do to his eyes?
524
00:34:09,717 --> 00:34:12,022
He has his father's eyes.
525
00:34:12,700 --> 00:34:15,701
When I went to Washington Square
College, NYU, was great.
526
00:34:15,702 --> 00:34:16,709
And you met Haig.
527
00:34:16,710 --> 00:34:18,714
That was the man,
Haig Manoogian.
528
00:34:18,715 --> 00:34:23,710
I had a lot of passion
and, if it was combined with yours,
529
00:34:23,711 --> 00:34:25,708
you could do anything,
530
00:34:25,709 --> 00:34:27,716
but we had disagreements.
531
00:34:27,717 --> 00:34:29,029
Why?
532
00:34:29,700 --> 00:34:30,717
For his ideas and he told you:
533
00:34:30,718 --> 00:34:34,712
"If any of the young people
"He has a gun, I'll expel you."
534
00:34:34,713 --> 00:34:36,716
And I told him:
"Yes, but where I come from..."
535
00:34:36,717 --> 00:34:40,709
He must have been disappointed.
Feel betrayed.
536
00:34:40,710 --> 00:34:42,715
Yes, when he saw "Mean Streets."
537
00:34:42,716 --> 00:34:44,723
We argued, he liked Truffaut.
538
00:34:44,724 --> 00:34:47,712
But not Goddard,
for their weapons and women.
539
00:34:47,713 --> 00:34:51,717
Exactly, I didn't accept them
in his movies.
540
00:34:51,718 --> 00:34:53,022
"Don't bring that."
541
00:34:57,717 --> 00:34:59,702
Where are we going?
542
00:34:59,703 --> 00:35:05,016
This is the world
of the film business.
543
00:35:08,700 --> 00:35:11,708
These people are selling
your movies?
544
00:35:11,709 --> 00:35:15,025
Or look for a film
to market it,
545
00:35:15,716 --> 00:35:19,726
or associate
to find a distributor.
546
00:35:19,727 --> 00:35:24,005
It's like the Diamond Center
on 47th Street.
547
00:35:25,724 --> 00:35:27,722
- Did you lose weight?
- I would like that.
548
00:35:27,723 --> 00:35:32,701
I went up, so it's relative.
This is Alec.
549
00:35:32,702 --> 00:35:34,721
Sure, how are you? Come in.
550
00:35:34,722 --> 00:35:39,700
I don't like the Festival
of Cannes nor do I believe in the festival.
551
00:35:39,701 --> 00:35:43,029
One thing is the market that is
always and another is the festival.
552
00:35:43,700 --> 00:35:45,713
Almost all the films
at the festival
553
00:35:45,714 --> 00:35:51,703
They were seen by their mothers,
his cousins and no one else.
554
00:35:51,704 --> 00:35:54,716
The fantastic thing about Cannes
is that a Romanian film,
555
00:35:54,717 --> 00:35:58,718
a Belgian film, a Danish film
or a Norwegian film
556
00:35:58,719 --> 00:36:02,706
are presented at the same time
and with the same journalists.
557
00:36:02,707 --> 00:36:03,713
There is opportunity.
558
00:36:03,714 --> 00:36:07,700
Yes, against the productions
from the USA with big stars.
559
00:36:07,701 --> 00:36:10,721
The big films
They protect the little ones.
560
00:36:10,722 --> 00:36:14,706
The stars protect
to unknown actors.
561
00:36:14,707 --> 00:36:18,714
When I make a movie,
I think about the profit.
562
00:36:18,715 --> 00:36:21,720
Before doing it,
I know how much I'm going to sell.
563
00:36:21,721 --> 00:36:25,726
It has nothing to do with
with the creative part.
564
00:36:25,727 --> 00:36:28,726
I see it as a business.
565
00:36:28,727 --> 00:36:32,720
Cinema is not poetry, nor is it
painting; you need money.
566
00:36:32,721 --> 00:36:36,710
some people say
567
00:36:36,711 --> 00:36:40,703
what's here
a great commercial circus,
568
00:36:40,704 --> 00:36:42,723
but it is very important.
569
00:36:42,724 --> 00:36:46,720
When we stop having
advertising everywhere,
570
00:36:46,721 --> 00:36:49,725
there will be no more money
and there will be no more films.
571
00:36:49,726 --> 00:36:53,029
- TRUE.
- We can't be naive.
572
00:36:53,700 --> 00:36:56,705
Cannes is a fabulous hybrid.
573
00:36:56,706 --> 00:36:59,722
Malroux wrote
an essay about cinema
574
00:36:59,723 --> 00:37:01,721
and the last sentence is famous:
575
00:37:01,722 --> 00:37:04,715
"In addition to cinema,
There is an industry."
576
00:37:04,716 --> 00:37:07,728
Cannes has always remembered
that prayer.
577
00:37:07,729 --> 00:37:10,714
There is also an industry
that combines
578
00:37:10,715 --> 00:37:13,721
because it is nature
imperfection of cinema.
579
00:37:13,722 --> 00:37:19,712
We want to make a very film
controversial set in Iraq.
580
00:37:19,713 --> 00:37:23,720
We meet and have
strange sexual encounters.
581
00:37:23,721 --> 00:37:26,724
I will send you
a film we made.
582
00:37:26,725 --> 00:37:29,721
You already made the film.
We can go.
583
00:37:29,722 --> 00:37:33,719
I'm leaving a TV show
after six years.
584
00:37:33,720 --> 00:37:36,728
I'm missing half of the seventh
and we finish
585
00:37:36,729 --> 00:37:41,700
and, without trying to be
very pretentious,
586
00:37:41,701 --> 00:37:44,706
I want to resume my career
in the cinema.
587
00:37:44,707 --> 00:37:47,021
Can we make movies together?
588
00:37:47,708 --> 00:37:51,699
Of course, but not alone.
I would have to support you.
589
00:37:51,700 --> 00:37:52,709
I would need it.
590
00:37:52,710 --> 00:37:57,025
Listen to me, I am known
like someone sincere.
591
00:37:57,716 --> 00:38:02,724
You need support
from other movie stars.
592
00:38:02,725 --> 00:38:06,713
Gerry Butler received support
four in...
593
00:38:06,714 --> 00:38:07,728
What is it called...?
594
00:38:07,729 --> 00:38:11,711
Do you want me to lie down
with four in a hotel in Iraq?
595
00:38:11,712 --> 00:38:14,713
If possible, five.
It would be better.
596
00:38:14,714 --> 00:38:18,715
In today's world it is
very difficult or almost impossible
597
00:38:18,716 --> 00:38:22,713
let a man make a film
only with his name.
598
00:38:22,714 --> 00:38:27,701
A few years ago,
People went to the movies and said:
599
00:38:27,702 --> 00:38:31,026
"It's a Johnny Depp film,
I'm going to see it."
600
00:38:31,707 --> 00:38:33,723
"It's a Marlon Brando film,
"I'm going to see it."
601
00:38:33,724 --> 00:38:38,019
And when I was popular,
They were going to see Jimmy.
602
00:38:38,710 --> 00:38:39,728
That doesn't work today.
603
00:38:39,729 --> 00:38:45,009
Find the reasons why
a franchise earns so much.
604
00:38:52,706 --> 00:38:54,715
Johnny Depp is fabulous.
605
00:38:54,716 --> 00:38:59,701
Make the film you want
and they don't care.
606
00:38:59,702 --> 00:39:02,018
my god,
He is the policeman we burned.
607
00:39:05,707 --> 00:39:07,709
Act normal.
608
00:39:07,710 --> 00:39:12,015
That film produces the same thing as
a franchise because they are fans.
609
00:39:12,722 --> 00:39:15,019
They're not going to love me.
610
00:39:15,700 --> 00:39:19,005
The gentlemen will envy me
and the ladies will reject me.
611
00:39:22,712 --> 00:39:24,713
What do you think of Neve Campbell?
612
00:39:24,714 --> 00:39:26,700
Neve Campbell.
613
00:39:26,701 --> 00:39:30,712
I like it, it's fabulous,
but you can't sell it.
614
00:39:30,713 --> 00:39:34,708
In France we use the word
"profitable." Do they use it in the USA?
615
00:39:34,709 --> 00:39:35,709
Of course.
616
00:39:35,710 --> 00:39:36,722
It doesn't mean anything.
617
00:39:36,723 --> 00:39:41,702
Nowadays I receive all
scripts that are possible.
618
00:39:41,703 --> 00:39:43,725
I can read the script
and see if it suits me
619
00:39:43,726 --> 00:39:46,716
because I'm famous
and I get scripts.
620
00:39:46,717 --> 00:39:49,707
The profitability
It stopped being important.
621
00:39:49,708 --> 00:39:52,718
If you are interested in history,
They are going to see the movie.
622
00:39:52,719 --> 00:39:54,703
I don't read scripts.
623
00:39:54,704 --> 00:39:58,702
What would you say if the film
out with Bejo and me?
624
00:39:58,703 --> 00:40:01,016
-Who is Bejo?
- Berenice Bejo.
625
00:40:01,727 --> 00:40:02,728
I don't know her.
626
00:40:02,729 --> 00:40:05,705
- It's productive.
- That of "The Artist".
627
00:40:05,706 --> 00:40:07,708
- I know.
- They won an Oscar.
628
00:40:07,709 --> 00:40:09,700
- I don't mind.
- She's beautiful.
629
00:40:09,701 --> 00:40:11,708
That doesn't matter to me.
630
00:40:11,709 --> 00:40:15,718
She is beautiful, but she is not a woman
that I can sell.
631
00:40:15,719 --> 00:40:18,715
What happens is that
I'm not 20 years old anymore
632
00:40:18,716 --> 00:40:22,720
and I'm on the crest of the wave,
but not tomorrow.
633
00:40:22,721 --> 00:40:26,699
I know what happens to actresses.
634
00:40:26,700 --> 00:40:28,716
I know the business
and I don't expect anything.
635
00:40:28,717 --> 00:40:33,708
If you get it, I would make the film
with you and Natalie Portman,
636
00:40:33,709 --> 00:40:36,717
or with Mila Kunis.
637
00:40:36,718 --> 00:40:39,700
Yes Neve Campbell and I
638
00:40:39,701 --> 00:40:43,720
We have exploratory relationships.
639
00:40:43,721 --> 00:40:45,715
It is not animal sex, or wild.
640
00:40:45,716 --> 00:40:50,706
It's exploratory sex with new
borders in a hotel.
641
00:40:50,707 --> 00:40:54,009
Would you give us 50 cents?
to make the film?
642
00:40:54,710 --> 00:40:58,723
With your name and his, between
4 or 5 million dollars.
643
00:40:58,724 --> 00:40:59,724
OK.
644
00:40:59,725 --> 00:41:04,022
We have to adjust
the concept of the film.
645
00:41:08,707 --> 00:41:10,721
We do not need
foreign sellers.
646
00:41:10,722 --> 00:41:12,716
We have the millionaires.
647
00:41:12,717 --> 00:41:15,721
Tacky Theodore,
a Greek shipowner.
648
00:41:15,722 --> 00:41:18,715
Johnny Pagozzi,
an Italian millionaire.
649
00:41:18,716 --> 00:41:21,701
Brett Ratner is going to introduce me to him.
650
00:41:21,702 --> 00:41:23,705
Let's go to Denise Richard's yacht.
651
00:41:23,706 --> 00:41:26,711
Her husband left her a lot of money
before running away.
652
00:41:26,712 --> 00:41:31,728
They all look like millionaires.
Do you think they will give us money?
653
00:41:31,729 --> 00:41:35,709
We only need one
and we have Jeremy Thomas,
654
00:41:35,710 --> 00:41:40,716
To Ashok Amritraj and us
need to see other sellers.
655
00:41:40,717 --> 00:41:43,710
You didn't want
more foreign sellers.
656
00:41:43,711 --> 00:41:48,022
Yes, those who say no,
But I keep my mind open.
657
00:41:49,715 --> 00:41:54,711
They say that the rich
They come to the Riviera
658
00:41:54,712 --> 00:41:58,700
when they have problems.
King Farouk left Egypt,
659
00:41:58,701 --> 00:42:01,724
Duvalier left Haiti
and Yeltsin left Russia
660
00:42:01,725 --> 00:42:06,009
when they had problems
and they came to the Riviera.
661
00:42:06,705 --> 00:42:11,711
I never make plans to see him,
but I always find it.
662
00:42:11,712 --> 00:42:12,712
Sit down.
663
00:42:12,713 --> 00:42:17,699
Gosling, Chastain are stars
from "Seduced and Abandoned".
664
00:42:17,700 --> 00:42:20,713
They can help us
with "Last Tango in Tikrit".
665
00:42:20,714 --> 00:42:22,721
Jimmy, your optimism amazes me
666
00:42:22,722 --> 00:42:26,720
because I expect frustrations
and disappointments in this business.
667
00:42:26,721 --> 00:42:29,726
I know, but not this time.
Trust me.
668
00:42:29,727 --> 00:42:33,706
What is your favorite star
all over the world?
669
00:42:33,707 --> 00:42:36,701
With which actor
do you have more fantasies?
670
00:42:36,702 --> 00:42:39,700
Who is the most handsome actor?
671
00:42:39,701 --> 00:42:42,709
Which actor would you like?
stay in an elevator?
672
00:42:42,710 --> 00:42:45,027
-Ryan Gosling!
-Ryan Gosling!
673
00:42:46,706 --> 00:42:50,714
Damn! Really?
You look like a retouched photo.
674
00:42:50,715 --> 00:42:54,712
I understand, it's a film
about obtaining financing?
675
00:42:54,713 --> 00:42:57,700
- Yes.
- We want to make a movie.
676
00:42:57,701 --> 00:43:00,712
They have that
and another on how to make films.
677
00:43:00,713 --> 00:43:05,719
Yes, and "Seduced and Abandoned"
It's about making films.
678
00:43:05,720 --> 00:43:09,719
The narrative of that one is
who seek funds for the other.
679
00:43:09,720 --> 00:43:11,728
Is it a $50 million drama?
680
00:43:11,729 --> 00:43:14,725
Maybe, maybe...
681
00:43:14,726 --> 00:43:19,720
With that we return to 1990
in the time machine,
682
00:43:19,721 --> 00:43:23,721
to seek the $50 million
because it's $3.5 million.
683
00:43:23,722 --> 00:43:27,703
It is a film between 12 and 15
millions of dollars,
684
00:43:27,704 --> 00:43:33,699
unless you want to participate
to make it $50 million.
685
00:43:33,700 --> 00:43:35,023
With you it would be $150 million.
686
00:43:35,708 --> 00:43:37,700
- Hello.
- What a dress!
687
00:43:37,701 --> 00:43:41,720
I wore this dress
from Madagascar for a photo.
688
00:43:41,721 --> 00:43:43,722
- It's lovely.
- I love seeing you.
689
00:43:43,723 --> 00:43:47,704
I don't want to touch you
because you are very beautiful.
690
00:43:47,705 --> 00:43:50,725
- You're going to be there for ten minutes.
- Do I need a microphone?
691
00:43:50,726 --> 00:43:54,723
- Let's go with the boom.
- Are you okay? Thank you so much.
692
00:43:54,724 --> 00:43:58,023
How good, it's going to be ten
minutes and you step on it.
693
00:43:58,701 --> 00:44:02,711
I liked drama school,
even if others don't like it.
694
00:44:02,712 --> 00:44:04,029
Did you go to Julliard?
695
00:44:04,700 --> 00:44:08,726
Yes, they ask you there
that you are crazy, eccentric
696
00:44:08,727 --> 00:44:13,723
and do extravagant things
so that you fail,
697
00:44:13,724 --> 00:44:16,719
but you learn with every failure.
698
00:44:16,720 --> 00:44:19,706
We have to achieve results.
699
00:44:19,707 --> 00:44:24,705
Yes, but now I do that
the director be my teacher.
700
00:44:24,706 --> 00:44:27,724
-To remember that?
- Each film is a class.
701
00:44:27,725 --> 00:44:30,726
I like movies,
I always liked them.
702
00:44:30,727 --> 00:44:34,717
Movies are my friends.
703
00:44:34,718 --> 00:44:38,012
My mom punished me
taking them off
704
00:44:38,711 --> 00:44:42,027
I liked to put them
inside my pants.
705
00:44:42,716 --> 00:44:45,728
When I was a child, my parents
They showed me old films
706
00:44:45,729 --> 00:44:49,702
and that's how I grew up
because they didn't allow me to watch TV.
707
00:44:49,703 --> 00:44:52,706
I was also looking for books,
708
00:44:52,707 --> 00:44:56,725
to see the photos of
Robert Mitchum, Joan Crawford
709
00:44:56,726 --> 00:45:01,724
and glamorous people because
I like the dream you give
710
00:45:01,725 --> 00:45:06,029
and the pleasure of watching your film
in a theater That's why I'm an actress.
711
00:45:06,700 --> 00:45:08,702
I didn't like carnage.
712
00:45:08,703 --> 00:45:12,721
I didn't want to cut meat
on 14th street all my life.
713
00:45:12,722 --> 00:45:16,711
I just had to go
to the neighborhood theater.
714
00:45:16,712 --> 00:45:18,728
I am from a German town
small
715
00:45:18,729 --> 00:45:21,710
There are two thousand people
and there is no bar.
716
00:45:21,711 --> 00:45:25,710
I started studying ballet
at the Royal Academy in London.
717
00:45:25,711 --> 00:45:31,707
I grew up learning to express
my emotions,
718
00:45:31,708 --> 00:45:37,709
anger and anguish
that I could have.
719
00:45:37,710 --> 00:45:39,713
I was a bitter teenager.
720
00:45:39,714 --> 00:45:44,728
My uncle imitated Elvis
and acted with him when he was three years old.
721
00:45:44,729 --> 00:45:48,725
I had the suit, the sequins
and he put them on himself.
722
00:45:48,726 --> 00:45:53,707
He stood in front of the mirror,
I rehearsed the voice, the themes...
723
00:45:53,708 --> 00:45:54,720
And you saw it?
724
00:45:54,721 --> 00:45:57,700
I saw him creating the character.
725
00:45:57,701 --> 00:46:00,701
I'm always working,
but I don't care.
726
00:46:00,702 --> 00:46:03,702
The criticism
of my teachers was:
727
00:46:03,703 --> 00:46:06,713
"You work too much.
"You should play more."
728
00:46:06,714 --> 00:46:11,713
Since it was there, he thought
It would be fun to include me.
729
00:46:11,714 --> 00:46:12,715
What did you do?
730
00:46:12,716 --> 00:46:16,709
He was the head of security.
They made me go out in front of him
731
00:46:16,710 --> 00:46:21,700
and there were many people
because it was Elvis.
732
00:46:21,701 --> 00:46:26,723
Elvis Perry, bald, with mustache
and a mark on the face,
733
00:46:26,724 --> 00:46:31,029
but I swear it was Elvis
for all of us.
734
00:46:31,707 --> 00:46:36,714
be able to show me
totally vulnerable,
735
00:46:36,715 --> 00:46:40,718
open up to a lot of people
who sees me
736
00:46:40,719 --> 00:46:46,719
and feel the process to arrive
at an emotional level,
737
00:46:46,720 --> 00:46:49,718
It's what makes me feel alive.
738
00:46:49,719 --> 00:46:53,716
I have an idea of the role
which I play in the film,
739
00:46:53,717 --> 00:46:56,718
but I don't know exactly
what he will do in the scene
740
00:46:56,719 --> 00:47:00,706
until you see the eyes and actions
who is talking to me about.
741
00:47:00,707 --> 00:47:04,718
I try to work with actors
better than me, that's how I strive.
742
00:47:04,719 --> 00:47:06,707
I have to live up to it.
743
00:47:06,708 --> 00:47:09,707
It's a moment of panic
and I must continue.
744
00:47:09,708 --> 00:47:12,712
It's very strange, as an actor,
745
00:47:12,713 --> 00:47:16,708
get carried away during
recording a scene,
746
00:47:16,709 --> 00:47:19,705
to the point
of not knowing what you did.
747
00:47:19,706 --> 00:47:23,706
And if Francis said:
"Okay, let's continue."
748
00:47:23,707 --> 00:47:27,708
I knew it was good,
At least I was satisfied.
749
00:47:27,709 --> 00:47:28,728
�Do as you're told�!
750
00:47:28,729 --> 00:47:33,014
�If we had been at war,
I wouldn't be here!
751
00:47:33,704 --> 00:47:35,026
Dad had Jenk, what about me?
752
00:47:39,706 --> 00:47:40,724
I did not mean that.
753
00:47:40,725 --> 00:47:46,703
But most of the time, you must
be aware of what you do,
754
00:47:46,704 --> 00:47:48,720
and it is 10%
that you lose in acting.
755
00:47:48,721 --> 00:47:53,026
Your job is to make it seem
that something new always happens.
756
00:47:53,700 --> 00:47:58,702
That gets ruined when
The whole set knows your lines,
757
00:47:58,703 --> 00:47:59,723
even the technical ones.
758
00:47:59,724 --> 00:48:02,716
You make mistakes during rehearsals.
759
00:48:02,717 --> 00:48:05,029
Someone puts tape on the floor
760
00:48:05,708 --> 00:48:08,717
and you are tied
to what you did in the beginning.
761
00:48:08,718 --> 00:48:12,023
They start with a general plan
that they never use.
762
00:48:12,705 --> 00:48:16,702
You waste the novelty
in general plans.
763
00:48:16,703 --> 00:48:18,709
They are getting closer,
and at the end of the day
764
00:48:18,710 --> 00:48:21,706
comes the close-up,
which is what they use.
765
00:48:21,707 --> 00:48:25,710
They use the latest because there
It's when you do it perfect,
766
00:48:25,711 --> 00:48:28,014
but you speak like a robot.
767
00:48:29,700 --> 00:48:34,710
You leave the set feeling that
You failed because nothing changed.
768
00:48:34,711 --> 00:48:36,725
We know the speed
for the script.
769
00:48:36,726 --> 00:48:41,721
But actually, if Bob, Harvey
and the rest are on the scene,
770
00:48:41,722 --> 00:48:43,728
They know who they work with.
771
00:48:43,729 --> 00:48:48,722
I hope you believe something
and at the same time I fear that...
772
00:48:48,723 --> 00:48:53,024
How to say it?
�An environment can be created
773
00:48:53,712 --> 00:48:58,027
that fosters something magnificent
and unexpected?
774
00:48:58,706 --> 00:49:00,716
The best experiences
that I have had
775
00:49:00,717 --> 00:49:04,726
were encouraged by the environment.
776
00:49:04,727 --> 00:49:10,014
Michelle and I were
involved in the film for years
777
00:49:10,708 --> 00:49:12,722
and we didn't know each other.
778
00:49:12,723 --> 00:49:18,016
It was structured so that
We met while filming.
779
00:49:18,710 --> 00:49:22,029
As we walk,
He tells us where to go.
780
00:49:22,709 --> 00:49:24,717
We will go here, there.
781
00:49:24,718 --> 00:49:27,725
The night was scheduled
to roam freely
782
00:49:27,726 --> 00:49:32,713
while they were filming us.
We were getting to know each other.
783
00:49:32,714 --> 00:49:36,719
The good directors
They are supervisors.
784
00:49:36,720 --> 00:49:39,703
Knowing my position,
I will know what I am looking for.
785
00:49:39,704 --> 00:49:40,717
I know the conflict.
786
00:49:40,718 --> 00:49:44,714
If it's hard for me to remember,
It is badly written.
787
00:49:44,715 --> 00:49:49,707
For example, in "Goodfellas,"
Joe Pesci says: "Am I funny?"
788
00:49:49,708 --> 00:49:50,708
Yes.
789
00:49:50,709 --> 00:49:53,705
It was something that happened to Joe.
790
00:49:53,706 --> 00:49:56,023
He said he would make the film
if it included the scene.
791
00:49:58,703 --> 00:50:02,005
Damn. I wish I was big.
792
00:50:03,711 --> 00:50:06,711
You are the best. Very funny.
793
00:50:06,712 --> 00:50:08,017
Very funny.
794
00:50:08,724 --> 00:50:11,005
How funny?
795
00:50:11,722 --> 00:50:16,018
You know, it's a good story.
You're a funny guy.
796
00:50:16,719 --> 00:50:19,022
What are you talking about, my voice?
797
00:50:19,729 --> 00:50:23,017
You're just funny.
798
00:50:23,721 --> 00:50:26,704
Because of the shape
in which you tell the story.
799
00:50:26,705 --> 00:50:29,027
In what way?
What's so funny about it?
800
00:50:29,715 --> 00:50:30,725
You misunderstood.
801
00:50:30,726 --> 00:50:33,725
Anthony, he's an adult,
He knows what he said.
802
00:50:33,726 --> 00:50:35,726
What did you say? How funny?
803
00:50:35,727 --> 00:50:39,715
There were two cameras
doing medium shots.
804
00:50:39,716 --> 00:50:42,711
while changing
the tone of the scene,
805
00:50:42,712 --> 00:50:47,026
people's faces
and the environment changed.
806
00:50:47,702 --> 00:50:53,700
But I had to talk to Joe
for 5 or 6 improvisations.
807
00:50:53,701 --> 00:50:54,701
With Ray.
808
00:50:54,702 --> 00:50:58,706
Yes. We play with that.
I wrote some things.
809
00:50:58,707 --> 00:51:02,705
To reach a certain level,
I had to guide Joe.
810
00:51:02,706 --> 00:51:05,709
You said it was funny,
not me
811
00:51:05,710 --> 00:51:08,725
What the hell
am I funny?
812
00:51:08,726 --> 00:51:11,013
Tell me what it is.
813
00:51:16,713 --> 00:51:21,721
- Enough, Tommy.
- Damn, you almost fell.
814
00:51:21,722 --> 00:51:24,029
Woody Allen is the ideal director.
815
00:51:24,709 --> 00:51:26,699
And, strangely,
816
00:51:26,700 --> 00:51:31,704
reminds me of the deceased
to John Hughes at the time.
817
00:51:31,705 --> 00:51:34,718
He was a director and writer
very successful.
818
00:51:34,719 --> 00:51:39,728
The first film I made with
He was "She's Having a Baby",
819
00:51:39,729 --> 00:51:42,711
with Kevin Bacon
and Elizabeth McGovern.
820
00:51:42,712 --> 00:51:44,718
We were filming with Hughes.
821
00:51:44,719 --> 00:51:48,709
And if he didn't like it,
He shouted humorously:
822
00:51:48,710 --> 00:51:51,710
"Who wrote this rubbish?"
And he threw away the script.
823
00:51:51,711 --> 00:51:56,724
Woody is the same. with all
the nominations he has won,
824
00:51:56,725 --> 00:52:00,700
you think about the essentials
which is his career.
825
00:52:00,701 --> 00:52:02,703
His first words were:
826
00:52:02,704 --> 00:52:06,719
"If you don't want to say anything
about this, don't say it.
827
00:52:06,720 --> 00:52:11,023
Say as much as you want."
828
00:52:11,701 --> 00:52:14,717
And one thinks:
"My God, what an ego."
829
00:52:14,718 --> 00:52:18,714
I have worked
with others who don't have...
830
00:52:18,715 --> 00:52:22,704
Woody Allen has
more talent in your nails
831
00:52:22,705 --> 00:52:24,724
than other complete idiots.
832
00:52:24,725 --> 00:52:28,726
They order you
Don't add a "maybe",
833
00:52:28,727 --> 00:52:33,709
and say "maybe"
you will go to the party.
834
00:52:33,710 --> 00:52:35,724
"Don't say maybe, let's say it again."
835
00:52:35,725 --> 00:52:38,714
I don't treasure my scripts.
836
00:52:38,715 --> 00:52:43,720
I still feel like a writer
and beginning director.
837
00:52:43,721 --> 00:52:48,713
And I am open to suggestions.
I like improvisation.
838
00:52:48,714 --> 00:52:55,014
Every once in a while, you hear an idea
and it's twisted, with humor.
839
00:52:55,718 --> 00:52:57,728
This is not a sketch.
840
00:52:57,729 --> 00:53:01,715
It's a doodle
that you can't erase.
841
00:53:01,716 --> 00:53:07,029
I had a Catholic upbringing
conventional. That upsets you.
842
00:53:07,700 --> 00:53:08,714
I went to university.
843
00:53:08,715 --> 00:53:10,719
I worked
in an advertising agency,
844
00:53:10,720 --> 00:53:14,703
answering calls,
serving coffee, making copies.
845
00:53:14,704 --> 00:53:17,702
I realized
that my life bored me.
846
00:53:17,703 --> 00:53:22,719
I wanted to experiment
with something that seemed bizarre
847
00:53:22,720 --> 00:53:25,709
and out of the ordinary.
I worked as a nudist.
848
00:53:25,710 --> 00:53:29,712
The writing caught my attention
because he wrote about it.
849
00:53:29,713 --> 00:53:32,027
Suddenly,
people wanted to listen to me.
850
00:53:32,706 --> 00:53:37,022
I always wanted to be a writer,
from the beginning.
851
00:53:37,700 --> 00:53:43,702
What I would do with
an improved financial situation
852
00:53:43,703 --> 00:53:47,714
It would be a great artistic film.
853
00:53:47,715 --> 00:53:50,721
I made movies
that make me proud,
854
00:53:50,722 --> 00:53:55,703
but the type of film
what I have in my mind and heart
855
00:53:55,704 --> 00:53:59,720
with the kind of emotions
that I want to experience,
856
00:53:59,721 --> 00:54:02,723
I haven't had yet
the opportunity to do so.
857
00:54:02,724 --> 00:54:07,702
The truth is, I wrote since I was a child,
but I was interested in prose.
858
00:54:07,703 --> 00:54:11,728
I went through the standard phase
by Anne Sexton and Sylvia Plath.
859
00:54:11,729 --> 00:54:15,029
�The choice of Anne Sexton
and Sylvia Plath
860
00:54:15,700 --> 00:54:18,728
suggest that you had
early suicidal thoughts?
861
00:54:18,729 --> 00:54:22,029
Yes, early,
medium and recent.
862
00:54:22,700 --> 00:54:23,703
- Clear.
- Yes.
863
00:54:23,704 --> 00:54:27,711
What do you use
to avoid externalizing it?
864
00:54:27,712 --> 00:54:31,711
I think for the majority,
and maybe for you too,
865
00:54:31,712 --> 00:54:33,720
creating and writing are catharsis.
866
00:54:33,721 --> 00:54:34,721
Yes.
867
00:54:34,722 --> 00:54:38,723
They are a form of self-medication.
I am an impulsive person.
868
00:54:38,724 --> 00:54:41,704
I always think
in the next step.
869
00:54:41,705 --> 00:54:47,029
Know that you build something
prevents you from being a total nihilist.
870
00:54:47,700 --> 00:54:48,700
Yes.
871
00:54:48,701 --> 00:54:51,723
We start filming
without the final scene
872
00:54:51,724 --> 00:54:54,719
because I had discrepancies
with Bob Towne.
873
00:54:54,720 --> 00:54:59,699
He wanted a happy ending
874
00:54:59,700 --> 00:55:01,701
and I told him it was impossible.
875
00:55:01,702 --> 00:55:04,728
"So that the movie
make an impact on the audience,
876
00:55:04,729 --> 00:55:06,719
she must die.
877
00:55:06,720 --> 00:55:11,019
"Evil must triumph."
878
00:55:11,718 --> 00:55:14,717
Forget it, Jake, it's Chinatown.
879
00:55:14,718 --> 00:55:18,025
As Mickey Cohen said,
It's a short anecdote.
880
00:55:18,726 --> 00:55:21,726
Charlotte Chandler
tells a great story
881
00:55:21,727 --> 00:55:26,725
about Mastroianni and Fellini,
in "La Dolce Vita."
882
00:55:26,726 --> 00:55:30,714
Fellini wanted me to do it,
He offered him the role.
883
00:55:30,715 --> 00:55:34,701
Mastroianni wanted to see the script,
Fellini told him there was none.
884
00:55:34,702 --> 00:55:35,720
Mastroianni needed it.
885
00:55:35,721 --> 00:55:40,704
Fellini gave him a manuscript
fat man with blank pages,
886
00:55:40,705 --> 00:55:44,709
where there was a drawing
of Mastroianni in a boat,
887
00:55:44,710 --> 00:55:45,716
in the ocean,
888
00:55:45,717 --> 00:55:50,728
and his penis was going down a hole
that overlooked the bottom of the ocean
889
00:55:50,729 --> 00:55:55,700
with a beautiful mermaid
swimming around the hole.
890
00:55:55,701 --> 00:55:57,711
Seeing him, Mastroianni said:
891
00:55:57,712 --> 00:56:00,021
"I will."
The role is interesting."
892
00:56:00,729 --> 00:56:04,726
In the film we want to make,
I am a government agent.
893
00:56:04,727 --> 00:56:09,716
The woman is a reporter,
with leftist tendencies.
894
00:56:09,717 --> 00:56:11,721
They are opposite poles.
895
00:56:11,722 --> 00:56:14,704
They meet in Iraq,
in the war.
896
00:56:14,705 --> 00:56:19,026
Basically, how is the end
of the world, they decide to fornicate.
897
00:56:20,713 --> 00:56:25,700
Something crazy. We call the
movie "Last Tango in Tikrit".
898
00:56:25,701 --> 00:56:27,728
Good. Wow, how deep.
899
00:56:27,729 --> 00:56:31,715
We will explore what happens
between man and woman.
900
00:56:31,716 --> 00:56:34,009
Would you be interested in a film like that?
901
00:56:34,700 --> 00:56:38,015
I couldn't tell you.
I would love to read the script.
902
00:56:38,702 --> 00:56:42,029
Your words do not convince me,
But I would give it a chance.
903
00:56:43,714 --> 00:56:45,725
This is invaluable.
904
00:56:45,726 --> 00:56:50,011
Diane Kruger teaches us
that we are not convincing.
905
00:56:50,714 --> 00:56:55,728
We need to prepare another group
of sales agents, 3 or 4 more.
906
00:56:55,729 --> 00:56:57,720
There's one ready for tomorrow.
907
00:56:57,721 --> 00:57:01,703
- Bring cash.
- Yes, in an envelope.
908
00:57:01,704 --> 00:57:02,703
Yes.
909
00:57:02,704 --> 00:57:05,703
- There will be no car races.
- No.
910
00:57:05,704 --> 00:57:06,723
- Or explosions.
- No.
911
00:57:06,724 --> 00:57:10,711
I think Alec has the ability.
912
00:57:10,712 --> 00:57:16,699
He is one of those actors who can
jump between genres.
913
00:57:16,700 --> 00:57:18,713
He has already done it, in his career.
914
00:57:18,714 --> 00:57:22,717
�You can film the movie
in Russia and elsewhere in China
915
00:57:22,718 --> 00:57:28,699
with some chinese stars,
Japanese, Russian and Brazilian?
916
00:57:28,700 --> 00:57:30,724
Let them surround him.
917
00:57:30,725 --> 00:57:32,713
Yes. The answer is yes.
918
00:57:32,714 --> 00:57:34,718
Work with emerging markets
919
00:57:34,719 --> 00:57:39,701
so that the movie
be financed in a market.
920
00:57:39,702 --> 00:57:43,717
I could justify anything.
921
00:57:43,718 --> 00:57:48,708
It is very difficult to find someone
to say, "I want to do it."
922
00:57:48,709 --> 00:57:49,724
Everyone does the math.
923
00:57:49,725 --> 00:57:53,026
Now the people
They are not visionaries.
924
00:57:53,706 --> 00:57:56,026
Visionary studio heads
They no longer exist.
925
00:57:56,701 --> 00:58:01,708
�Possible funds
What would we get from you?
926
00:58:01,709 --> 00:58:05,717
They would be yours or from sources
Which ones do you have access to?
927
00:58:05,718 --> 00:58:10,718
Am I next to the right one?
Can you do it on your own?
928
00:58:10,719 --> 00:58:12,703
I need my partners.
929
00:58:12,704 --> 00:58:13,705
- Oh yes?
- Yes.
930
00:58:13,706 --> 00:58:17,708
But you...?
I won't repeat it again.
931
00:58:17,709 --> 00:58:21,021
"You are the one who commands"
in that society?
932
00:58:22,707 --> 00:58:26,725
Assuming we need
between $15 and $18 million.
933
00:58:26,726 --> 00:58:28,703
It's too much.
934
00:58:28,704 --> 00:58:30,721
It should not exceed
the $10 million.
935
00:58:30,722 --> 00:58:34,721
It must be related
with what will be obtained.
936
00:58:34,722 --> 00:58:38,707
5 is ideal. That is the threshold
937
00:58:38,708 --> 00:58:43,708
What difference does it make to earn money?
with losing it.
938
00:58:43,709 --> 00:58:47,701
When you mentioned
an international cast,
939
00:58:47,702 --> 00:58:50,707
you meant it seriously
or metaphorically?
940
00:58:50,708 --> 00:58:51,708
It was metaphorical.
941
00:58:51,709 --> 00:58:54,022
Good. But I am flexible.
942
00:58:54,713 --> 00:58:57,716
No, let's put it like this:
943
00:58:57,717 --> 00:59:02,017
I am a prostitute
that I would do it anyway.
944
00:59:05,714 --> 00:59:11,723
Here we seek the kind of help
what we hope for logistically.
945
00:59:11,724 --> 00:59:13,715
Tax exemptions.
946
00:59:13,716 --> 00:59:17,711
The advantages of filming
in one place or another.
947
00:59:17,712 --> 00:59:21,013
Iraq, Tunisia, Abu Dhabi.
948
00:59:22,709 --> 00:59:24,010
Tunisia?
949
00:59:24,701 --> 00:59:26,001
Bonjour.
950
00:59:26,721 --> 00:59:27,721
- Hello.
- Hello.
951
00:59:27,722 --> 00:59:30,027
And he says, "Oh, oh, oh."
952
00:59:30,700 --> 00:59:32,722
- No interpreter; you speak english
- That's right.
953
00:59:32,723 --> 00:59:35,717
We are looking for a financier
for a movie.
954
00:59:35,718 --> 00:59:37,724
The story
It takes place in Iraq.
955
00:59:37,725 --> 00:59:40,724
The film requires
a war in the background.
956
00:59:40,725 --> 00:59:44,726
I will play a government agent
United States,
957
00:59:44,727 --> 00:59:48,714
in the Bush era,
when the war was created.
958
00:59:48,715 --> 00:59:51,029
He is a CIA agent
conservative,
959
00:59:51,700 --> 00:59:53,711
a falcon, in terms
American purists,
960
00:59:53,712 --> 00:59:55,714
and know
to a liberal journalist.
961
00:59:55,715 --> 00:59:59,705
We could film in Tunisia
and make it look like Iraq.
962
00:59:59,706 --> 01:00:00,710
Yes.
963
01:00:00,711 --> 01:00:02,710
Which one is better?
Tunisia or Morocco?
964
01:00:02,711 --> 01:00:03,711
Yes.
965
01:00:03,712 --> 01:00:05,720
I'm in the city
from Abu Dhabi...
966
01:00:05,721 --> 01:00:08,710
It's an emirate, similar.
967
01:00:08,711 --> 01:00:12,004
I live in New York,
which is an emirate.
968
01:00:12,723 --> 01:00:15,713
- It's a big area.
- I live in an emirate.
969
01:00:15,714 --> 01:00:20,703
We try to get an idea
of which would be the most beautiful
970
01:00:20,704 --> 01:00:23,728
and, furthermore,
May your government cooperate.
971
01:00:23,729 --> 01:00:26,710
Today we announce
an incentive package.
972
01:00:26,711 --> 01:00:28,708
We have an incentive.
973
01:00:28,709 --> 01:00:31,707
�They have a government fund
for movies?
974
01:00:31,708 --> 01:00:32,707
Yes.
975
01:00:32,708 --> 01:00:36,710
Your government would invest
in an American production?
976
01:00:36,711 --> 01:00:39,714
- Yes.
- It would be possible.
977
01:00:39,715 --> 01:00:41,024
Tunisia is beautiful.
978
01:00:41,703 --> 01:00:45,719
We have walked through the cuosette
and the entire complex for days,
979
01:00:45,720 --> 01:00:49,712
looking for Iraqi commission
of films. Where is it?
980
01:00:49,713 --> 01:00:51,701
- There is no.
- Don't they have them?
981
01:00:51,702 --> 01:00:53,022
- They're not here.
- Why not?
982
01:00:54,701 --> 01:00:57,718
- Are movies filmed in Iraq?
- I don't know of any.
983
01:00:57,719 --> 01:00:59,720
Why is there no Iraqi commission?
984
01:00:59,721 --> 01:01:02,717
It's a question
what they should do to them.
985
01:01:02,718 --> 01:01:04,700
You are good.
986
01:01:04,701 --> 01:01:06,716
It's a movie
with great sexual content.
987
01:01:06,717 --> 01:01:11,710
It is an examination
of the exchange of energies.
988
01:01:11,711 --> 01:01:14,709
Contains behaviors
specific sexual
989
01:01:14,710 --> 01:01:16,716
Eroticism, love scenes.
990
01:01:16,717 --> 01:01:19,717
Is there any possibility of...?
991
01:01:19,718 --> 01:01:23,707
I don't want to be filming
in bed with Neve Campbell
992
01:01:23,708 --> 01:01:25,724
and that they censor us.
993
01:01:25,725 --> 01:01:28,714
I'm the one who reads the scripts.
994
01:01:28,715 --> 01:01:31,723
If we make a movie
of great sexual exploration,
995
01:01:31,724 --> 01:01:36,719
you read the script and accept,
That doesn't say much about you.
996
01:01:36,720 --> 01:01:38,020
Yes...
997
01:01:38,721 --> 01:01:40,021
I joke.
998
01:01:45,709 --> 01:01:48,728
Finally, immortality
It is the goal of many,
999
01:01:48,729 --> 01:01:53,713
and of the majority that lives
the cinematographic world.
1000
01:01:53,714 --> 01:01:56,704
The opportunity
to live forever.
1001
01:01:56,705 --> 01:01:59,716
And I don't speak
of the minds of those close to them,
1002
01:01:59,717 --> 01:02:01,725
but of memories
cinematographic
1003
01:02:01,726 --> 01:02:04,026
from generations to come.
1004
01:02:04,704 --> 01:02:07,029
Hey, Stella!
1005
01:02:07,715 --> 01:02:10,714
It's not a coincidence
that Marilyn Monroe
1006
01:02:10,715 --> 01:02:13,717
it's on the poster
of this year's festival.
1007
01:02:13,718 --> 01:02:20,002
Monroe, the greatest example of
immortality after death.
1008
01:02:24,715 --> 01:02:27,700
To Johnny Pigazzi
He likes cars.
1009
01:02:27,701 --> 01:02:30,712
His father owned Simca.
It has an island in Panama.
1010
01:02:30,713 --> 01:02:34,712
It has apartments
in New York, London, Switzerland.
1011
01:02:34,713 --> 01:02:36,724
He is a great investor
wealthy.
1012
01:02:36,725 --> 01:02:39,728
It will be easy for you to give us
$15 million for a film.
1013
01:02:39,729 --> 01:02:42,029
That's right. Johnny!
1014
01:02:42,719 --> 01:02:45,703
I was talking to him about you
to my friend James Toback.
1015
01:02:45,704 --> 01:02:47,721
How much time a year
are you passing here?
1016
01:02:47,722 --> 01:02:49,702
About a month.
1017
01:02:49,703 --> 01:02:50,716
It's lovely.
1018
01:02:50,717 --> 01:02:51,722
It is.
1019
01:02:51,723 --> 01:02:55,716
I owe this to my father.
Not responsible for this.
1020
01:02:55,717 --> 01:02:59,720
It's wonderful to have
a father who takes care of you.
1021
01:02:59,721 --> 01:03:01,027
He did it well.
1022
01:03:01,713 --> 01:03:04,014
And you will take care of us.
1023
01:03:04,711 --> 01:03:07,707
Where do you get it from?
your sense of identity?
1024
01:03:07,708 --> 01:03:11,702
You are a lover
of life in general
1025
01:03:11,703 --> 01:03:14,029
or is there something special?
1026
01:03:14,700 --> 01:03:19,029
For me it's the movies,
Without them I am nothing.
1027
01:03:19,700 --> 01:03:22,708
Because also,
You have tried different things.
1028
01:03:22,709 --> 01:03:27,716
You have written. There is tennis,
the martial arts.
1029
01:03:27,717 --> 01:03:29,027
You wrote books.
1030
01:03:29,703 --> 01:03:33,029
You could have sat down
without doing anything, right?
1031
01:03:33,700 --> 01:03:34,728
I hate to admit it,
1032
01:03:34,729 --> 01:03:38,724
but, if it weren't for my father,
It wouldn't have been anyone.
1033
01:03:38,725 --> 01:03:42,711
Let's admit it.
I didn't continue writing
1034
01:03:42,712 --> 01:03:47,720
because not many hire
someone who doesn't depend on it.
1035
01:03:47,721 --> 01:03:53,702
It's terrible. There are prejudices
against blacks, gays and rich people.
1036
01:03:53,703 --> 01:03:56,708
- Against trust funds.
- Yes, it's terrible.
1037
01:03:56,709 --> 01:03:58,723
- Bad prejudices.
- I wish for freedom.
1038
01:03:58,724 --> 01:04:02,724
- You are a victim of hate.
- It should be a hate crime.
1039
01:04:02,725 --> 01:04:08,710
I want you to be part of the
legacy of a great work of art.
1040
01:04:08,711 --> 01:04:09,715
You collect art.
1041
01:04:09,716 --> 01:04:12,712
This film will be a work of art.
1042
01:04:12,713 --> 01:04:13,713
Really?
1043
01:04:13,714 --> 01:04:18,700
I hope you are ready
to invest $15 million.
1044
01:04:18,701 --> 01:04:20,001
What?
1045
01:04:20,716 --> 01:04:23,716
The Riviera was the right place.
1046
01:04:23,717 --> 01:04:28,709
Somerset Maugham described it
as sunny for cloudy people.
1047
01:04:28,710 --> 01:04:32,728
In summer, we all came here
for the casinos.
1048
01:04:32,729 --> 01:04:37,705
There was Patsy and Joanna Cassidy
Boucher plays the clarinet.
1049
01:04:37,706 --> 01:04:38,711
Jean Le Pare.
1050
01:04:38,712 --> 01:04:43,704
It had glamour. Monte Carlo
It didn't look like Las Vegas with the sea.
1051
01:04:43,705 --> 01:04:47,725
It was the magical place
that Fitzgerald described.
1052
01:04:47,726 --> 01:04:52,025
The Murphys invented it
in the 20s.
1053
01:04:52,724 --> 01:04:55,720
Picasso, Hemingway, Fitzgerald.
1054
01:04:55,721 --> 01:05:01,023
Picasso, Desqual and all of them
They came here for the light.
1055
01:05:01,706 --> 01:05:07,707
All anchored people
around they should be imprisoned,
1056
01:05:07,708 --> 01:05:10,712
but they are all russians,
They are very bad thieves.
1057
01:05:10,713 --> 01:05:13,710
Why did you believe?
What was the right one?
1058
01:05:13,711 --> 01:05:16,703
Because you take risks,
and maybe, I don't know...
1059
01:05:16,704 --> 01:05:18,722
-Do you take risks?
- Not with films.
1060
01:05:18,723 --> 01:05:22,704
I hate to say it but I was a friend
of President Nixon,
1061
01:05:22,705 --> 01:05:26,018
he liked me. he wrote to me
when I was in prison.
1062
01:05:26,724 --> 01:05:31,020
It was a kind letter
and then came the curse.
1063
01:05:31,701 --> 01:05:34,029
I was four months old
for possession of cocaine.
1064
01:05:34,700 --> 01:05:38,704
He told me: "The drivers
They want to know if it's true."
1065
01:05:38,705 --> 01:05:40,712
A letter from President Nixon.
1066
01:05:40,713 --> 01:05:45,705
I sold the envelope for food.
1067
01:05:45,706 --> 01:05:46,706
Oh.
1068
01:05:46,707 --> 01:05:49,700
Then I told him.
He thought it was funny.
1069
01:05:49,701 --> 01:05:50,709
Where were you arrested?
1070
01:05:50,710 --> 01:05:51,710
In Pentonville.
1071
01:05:51,711 --> 01:05:56,722
Johnny will not invest.
There is someone else: Arki Busson.
1072
01:05:56,723 --> 01:05:57,722
It's powerful.
1073
01:05:57,723 --> 01:06:01,710
- Quite. And successful.
- He's in the industry, he likes it.
1074
01:06:01,711 --> 01:06:05,701
He financed the new film
by Walter Salles.
1075
01:06:05,702 --> 01:06:06,715
- "On the Road"?
- Yes.
1076
01:06:06,716 --> 01:06:10,725
I propose that you enter
in this movie
1077
01:06:10,726 --> 01:06:13,703
and you are the only investor.
1078
01:06:13,704 --> 01:06:16,716
You are young, vigorous, healthy.
1079
01:06:16,717 --> 01:06:21,720
But even if you live 25 more years,
It's your last lap.
1080
01:06:21,721 --> 01:06:22,721
Yes.
1081
01:06:22,722 --> 01:06:24,711
- Me too.
- Not you.
1082
01:06:24,712 --> 01:06:25,718
You can afford...
1083
01:06:25,719 --> 01:06:27,029
We have a phrase:
1084
01:06:27,700 --> 01:06:30,726
"You're one second away from the last
film reel".
1085
01:06:30,727 --> 01:06:32,721
200 years after dying,
1086
01:06:32,722 --> 01:06:37,716
the reason why
people will know of your existence
1087
01:06:37,717 --> 01:06:42,725
will be your name as producer
in my next film.
1088
01:06:42,726 --> 01:06:46,710
The next one will be a production
by Taki Theodoracopulos.
1089
01:06:46,711 --> 01:06:50,714
Contributing the $15 million
that we need, perhaps less.
1090
01:06:50,715 --> 01:06:52,710
Bring me some cigarettes.
1091
01:06:52,711 --> 01:06:54,728
Who has more money?
Johnny or you?
1092
01:06:54,729 --> 01:06:56,702
Johnny, much more.
1093
01:06:56,703 --> 01:06:57,703
More?
1094
01:06:57,704 --> 01:07:03,699
I want there to be more lunches in
those that are invested at the moment.
1095
01:07:03,700 --> 01:07:05,029
Instant investments
1096
01:07:05,701 --> 01:07:07,708
will depend
who is at the table.
1097
01:07:07,709 --> 01:07:09,705
-And Alec Baldwin?
- Really.
1098
01:07:09,706 --> 01:07:10,714
-Alec Baldwin?
- Yes.
1099
01:07:10,715 --> 01:07:13,712
- In "In Last Tango"?
- In our version.
1100
01:07:13,713 --> 01:07:16,009
You can't. He is a TV actor.
1101
01:07:17,726 --> 01:07:21,022
DENISE RICH'S YACHT
CHARITY EVENT
1102
01:07:26,711 --> 01:07:29,719
What is it that you want?
and you can't do it?
1103
01:07:29,720 --> 01:07:33,013
Where do you want to go?
and you can't?
1104
01:07:33,711 --> 01:07:37,703
I still think about things
What I want and can do.
1105
01:07:37,704 --> 01:07:38,704
Good.
1106
01:07:38,705 --> 01:07:39,724
It's hard to know.
1107
01:07:39,725 --> 01:07:43,711
But I always wanted to go to space.
1108
01:07:43,712 --> 01:07:49,708
I think what I want most,
I don't know if I can or not,
1109
01:07:49,709 --> 01:07:55,702
but I would like to cure cancer
so that no one else suffers from it.
1110
01:07:55,703 --> 01:07:57,716
The other would be world peace.
1111
01:07:57,717 --> 01:08:03,029
You know, Alec and I planned
a film for next year.
1112
01:08:03,700 --> 01:08:07,728
Would you be interested in investing?
independently in it?
1113
01:08:07,729 --> 01:08:13,706
I don't participate in anything
that I'm not involved.
1114
01:08:13,707 --> 01:08:15,717
IT'S NO WAY TO LIVE
1115
01:08:15,718 --> 01:08:19,017
BUT WHAT ALTERNATIVE IS THERE?
1116
01:08:20,725 --> 01:08:23,718
-Ben Schneider.
-How are you? Nice to meet you.
1117
01:08:23,719 --> 01:08:24,719
Delighted.
1118
01:08:24,720 --> 01:08:28,719
I'm the son of Neal Schneider,
investor of the film.
1119
01:08:28,720 --> 01:08:33,002
I have heard from your father and you.
1120
01:08:33,706 --> 01:08:36,725
He is the limited investor.
1121
01:08:36,726 --> 01:08:41,699
The others
They were with their fanfare.
1122
01:08:41,700 --> 01:08:42,715
What do you do?
1123
01:08:42,716 --> 01:08:45,710
I moved to LA a year ago.
1124
01:08:45,711 --> 01:08:49,711
I have been part of a comedy
of sketch for six months.
1125
01:08:49,712 --> 01:08:51,023
I'll take a shrimp.
1126
01:08:51,715 --> 01:08:57,010
- Where do you live?
- Currently, in West Hollywood.
1127
01:08:57,705 --> 01:09:00,711
- And you want to be an actor?
- Of course. Without a doubt.
1128
01:09:00,712 --> 01:09:02,715
At what age
Did you come to California?
1129
01:09:02,716 --> 01:09:03,715
At 16.
1130
01:09:03,716 --> 01:09:06,029
- Where did you stay?
- In West Hollywood.
1131
01:09:06,714 --> 01:09:09,701
I could write to you
an interesting role.
1132
01:09:09,702 --> 01:09:12,700
Let's try to seduce your father
to be partners.
1133
01:09:12,701 --> 01:09:14,029
I'm trying to raise funds.
1134
01:09:14,700 --> 01:09:17,700
Was your goal to get here?
Did you expect it?
1135
01:09:17,701 --> 01:09:18,722
It's the best of Los Angeles.
1136
01:09:18,723 --> 01:09:22,711
It's full of characters
like Don Quixote.
1137
01:09:22,712 --> 01:09:28,704
People who leave their families,
homes, friends and jobs
1138
01:09:28,705 --> 01:09:29,724
to chase your dream,
1139
01:09:29,725 --> 01:09:34,029
even knowing that the probability
of achieving it is almost nil.
1140
01:09:34,700 --> 01:09:37,720
But they do it anyway.
Everyone shares the same dream
1141
01:09:37,721 --> 01:09:42,022
and no one knows if it was
a premonition or a delusion.
1142
01:09:42,707 --> 01:09:44,704
There's only one way to know.
1143
01:09:44,705 --> 01:09:45,726
-Ben Schneider.
- What's up?
1144
01:09:45,727 --> 01:09:48,715
- Ben is the son of...
- I know.
1145
01:09:48,716 --> 01:09:52,723
- He is an aspiring actor.
- Do you want to act?
1146
01:09:52,724 --> 01:09:54,721
- Yes. I have been acting since...
- Why?
1147
01:09:54,722 --> 01:09:56,022
Why?
1148
01:09:57,703 --> 01:09:59,706
An audition is difficult.
1149
01:09:59,707 --> 01:10:03,713
You get it. You enter a room
Full of guys like you.
1150
01:10:03,714 --> 01:10:08,723
You're not the only cowboy.
You hear the other audition.
1151
01:10:08,724 --> 01:10:13,720
You think about not doing the same,
instead of doing it your way.
1152
01:10:13,721 --> 01:10:14,723
Before entering,
1153
01:10:14,724 --> 01:10:18,705
the casting director
negotiates the role for another.
1154
01:10:18,706 --> 01:10:21,703
It turns out that Jared Leto
got the role.
1155
01:10:21,704 --> 01:10:25,022
When you walk in, you see it
as an acting practice.
1156
01:10:25,710 --> 01:10:29,025
I know I won't make it,
I will just live the experience.
1157
01:10:29,705 --> 01:10:32,703
on the scene
you should cry for a friend.
1158
01:10:32,704 --> 01:10:37,721
You start crying emotionally.
They get a call and you go out.
1159
01:10:37,722 --> 01:10:39,711
You try to keep crying,
1160
01:10:39,712 --> 01:10:42,723
but you wait for 10 minutes
and you lose focus.
1161
01:10:42,724 --> 01:10:47,716
You want to start over and
They make you continue where you left off.
1162
01:10:47,717 --> 01:10:50,701
You go to your car and you have a ticket.
1163
01:10:50,702 --> 01:10:55,011
Because the audition poster
It covered the signal.
1164
01:10:55,702 --> 01:11:00,706
You get in the car, you compose yourself.
You go to the next one.
1165
01:11:00,707 --> 01:11:04,025
You spend two hours in traffic
and the cycle begins again.
1166
01:11:06,713 --> 01:11:09,712
I think the three of us had
a good connection.
1167
01:11:09,713 --> 01:11:12,719
If I wrote you a paper
original and ambitious,
1168
01:11:12,720 --> 01:11:16,717
would sign up immediately
and it would rain money.
1169
01:11:16,718 --> 01:11:20,723
Because money
Follow the stars.
1170
01:11:20,724 --> 01:11:24,716
Jessica Chastain could
be the woman and Neve the wife,
1171
01:11:24,717 --> 01:11:28,023
and they get divorced before you leave.
1172
01:11:28,720 --> 01:11:32,722
PREPARATION
FOR THE VANITY FAIR PARTY
1173
01:11:32,723 --> 01:11:35,714
The sale of covers
in magazines they are evasive.
1174
01:11:35,715 --> 01:11:39,719
We had to withdraw.
We talked about it.
1175
01:11:39,720 --> 01:11:44,700
We could do the cover,
changing the way of doing it.
1176
01:11:44,701 --> 01:11:49,702
The right one to do it,
It was you, of all people.
1177
01:11:49,703 --> 01:11:52,704
In our culture,
it's hard to find someone
1178
01:11:52,705 --> 01:11:58,029
who knows how to pull the strings
and make it look good in the magazine.
1179
01:11:58,700 --> 01:12:01,016
And something that people want to read.
1180
01:12:02,723 --> 01:12:05,711
Vanity Fair is not
a movie magazine,
1181
01:12:05,712 --> 01:12:08,704
but he turned
the magazine for movies.
1182
01:12:08,705 --> 01:12:09,722
Was that intentional?
1183
01:12:09,723 --> 01:12:14,719
No. I think the people of the east
has a fascination
1184
01:12:14,720 --> 01:12:16,719
with the "romance" of Hollywood.
1185
01:12:16,720 --> 01:12:18,724
In particular,
with old Hollywood.
1186
01:12:18,725 --> 01:12:20,699
Maybe we see it
1187
01:12:20,700 --> 01:12:23,721
through a different prism
of those who live there.
1188
01:12:23,722 --> 01:12:26,716
Most of the holidays
in hollywood
1189
01:12:26,717 --> 01:12:30,713
they look like auditions
for "Jersey Shore."
1190
01:12:30,714 --> 01:12:32,705
We talk about now.
1191
01:12:32,706 --> 01:12:37,701
Yes. Look this weekend.
The movies have degenerated
1192
01:12:37,702 --> 01:12:40,711
to the point that there are movies
about comics
1193
01:12:40,712 --> 01:12:44,014
competing against others
about board games.
1194
01:12:45,705 --> 01:12:48,026
Many people with a lot of money.
1195
01:12:48,701 --> 01:12:52,015
�You know what it would be
a good idea? Steal them.
1196
01:12:52,705 --> 01:12:56,700
Just kidding.
Although, you know, maybe not.
1197
01:12:56,701 --> 01:13:00,008
But it's full of people.
There are many witnesses.
1198
01:13:00,704 --> 01:13:03,703
The moving thing is that it unites them
1199
01:13:03,704 --> 01:13:08,703
complete ignorance
that everyone will die.
1200
01:13:08,704 --> 01:13:12,723
What use will the money be to them?
They should finance us.
1201
01:13:12,724 --> 01:13:16,026
At least his name would be
in a work of art.
1202
01:13:16,714 --> 01:13:18,722
I must be careful
or go crazy.
1203
01:13:18,723 --> 01:13:21,699
NO ONE HAS NEVER PAID ME
WHAT I AM WORTH
1204
01:13:21,700 --> 01:13:24,701
BUT WITH MONEY.
CHARLES BAUDELAIRE
1205
01:13:24,702 --> 01:13:27,708
GIVE ME MONEY!
IT'S WHAT I WANT!
1206
01:13:27,709 --> 01:13:28,720
THE BEATLES
1207
01:13:28,721 --> 01:13:31,716
recently
I was misquoted:
1208
01:13:31,717 --> 01:13:34,718
"We do
many bad movies".
1209
01:13:34,719 --> 01:13:35,723
What I said was:
1210
01:13:35,724 --> 01:13:39,700
"As an industry, we do
bad and good movies".
1211
01:13:39,701 --> 01:13:40,717
The real problem
1212
01:13:40,718 --> 01:13:44,724
is what you can do
a great movie that nobody sees,
1213
01:13:44,725 --> 01:13:47,720
or a bad movie
that everyone saw
1214
01:13:47,721 --> 01:13:51,703
and that's the secret
to keep your job.
1215
01:13:51,704 --> 01:13:54,728
They don't give you credit
for the good that no one saw.
1216
01:13:54,729 --> 01:13:57,708
They are not the distributors
1217
01:13:57,709 --> 01:14:00,703
those who refuse
to release the film.
1218
01:14:00,704 --> 01:14:06,020
The truth is that they will not justify
enough money to film.
1219
01:14:06,700 --> 01:14:08,710
It is important
market opinion
1220
01:14:08,711 --> 01:14:12,707
and what you think it would achieve
with the film campaign.
1221
01:14:12,708 --> 01:14:15,716
The marketability
of the movies has become
1222
01:14:15,717 --> 01:14:18,704
most important
than their stories.
1223
01:14:18,705 --> 01:14:21,711
It is very important
the opinion about the movie
1224
01:14:21,712 --> 01:14:24,701
of the distributors
international.
1225
01:14:24,702 --> 01:14:28,710
This influences a lot
decisions today.
1226
01:14:28,711 --> 01:14:33,703
The opinion of the distributors
Local video is important.
1227
01:14:33,704 --> 01:14:38,703
How do you think this affects
the quality of the movie?
1228
01:14:38,704 --> 01:14:41,709
While a person
make the decision
1229
01:14:41,710 --> 01:14:44,716
to accept the audacity
and originality,
1230
01:14:44,717 --> 01:14:49,708
a decision committee
guarantees conventional shyness.
1231
01:14:49,709 --> 01:14:52,701
For this reason, people
with innovative ideas
1232
01:14:52,702 --> 01:14:55,714
you should always look for money
outside the system.
1233
01:14:55,715 --> 01:15:00,699
For you as a filmmaker,
and a community of agents,
1234
01:15:00,700 --> 01:15:02,725
slows down skill.
1235
01:15:02,726 --> 01:15:05,721
When I was an agent,
I could see Tom Pollock.
1236
01:15:05,722 --> 01:15:06,722
Yes.
1237
01:15:06,723 --> 01:15:09,715
I could convince him
or Casey Silver
1238
01:15:09,716 --> 01:15:14,710
that he accepted a film
based on my enthusiasm.
1239
01:15:14,711 --> 01:15:18,709
He told them: "If you don't accept,
"I'll go to another studio."
1240
01:15:18,710 --> 01:15:20,029
He achieved it at the moment.
1241
01:15:20,700 --> 01:15:22,721
With whoever it was,
of any study.
1242
01:15:22,722 --> 01:15:25,029
Currently,
that's impossible.
1243
01:15:25,700 --> 01:15:27,699
Not even in Universal
nor in any other.
1244
01:15:27,700 --> 01:15:28,704
Why?
1245
01:15:28,705 --> 01:15:32,710
If I love something
and the rest hate it, it is not done.
1246
01:15:32,711 --> 01:15:35,709
All movies
that made us win an Oscar,
1247
01:15:35,710 --> 01:15:38,717
and I say "we"
because it wasn't me alone,
1248
01:15:38,718 --> 01:15:41,029
nobody wanted them.
1249
01:15:41,700 --> 01:15:43,728
Nor "Cuckoo's Nest"
nor "Dance with Wolves."
1250
01:15:43,729 --> 01:15:46,720
There used to be
a wide range of films
1251
01:15:46,721 --> 01:15:49,703
as "Taxi Driver"
and "Raging Bull",
1252
01:15:49,704 --> 01:15:52,708
to some extent.
UA was fantastic.
1253
01:15:52,709 --> 01:15:56,726
They didn't force us to do them,
we wanted to do them.
1254
01:15:56,727 --> 01:16:01,029
The entire group at UA supported us
in making varieties of films
1255
01:16:01,700 --> 01:16:03,715
that we would consider
They would be the norm.
1256
01:16:03,716 --> 01:16:07,726
We did "Apocalypse"
and "Raging Bull" in another era.
1257
01:16:07,727 --> 01:16:12,728
There was a time when you did
one or two great movies
1258
01:16:12,729 --> 01:16:15,715
and they anchored your program
of movies.
1259
01:16:15,716 --> 01:16:19,029
Now you do five of them,
and what's left?
1260
01:16:19,700 --> 01:16:21,715
Somehow I have been able
1261
01:16:21,716 --> 01:16:27,714
to navigate that fine margin
to make movies
1262
01:16:27,715 --> 01:16:34,010
to those who consider could
give me up for two years.
1263
01:16:34,700 --> 01:16:37,016
And receive support.
1264
01:16:37,701 --> 01:16:41,704
Right now I would receive support
for many movies
1265
01:16:41,705 --> 01:16:43,718
if they are what they indicate to me.
1266
01:16:43,719 --> 01:16:46,709
We want to make films
that they give a lot of money,
1267
01:16:46,710 --> 01:16:49,707
be rich, and finance
artistic films.
1268
01:16:49,708 --> 01:16:51,724
That was always the model.
1269
01:16:51,725 --> 01:16:56,012
I always ask myself:
1270
01:16:56,724 --> 01:16:59,720
How can I survive
in this medium?
1271
01:16:59,721 --> 01:17:03,717
The margin is very small.
1272
01:17:03,718 --> 01:17:08,713
With that, and the great interest
to sell movies,
1273
01:17:08,714 --> 01:17:10,705
you have to be careful
1274
01:17:10,706 --> 01:17:14,722
or fight a lot
to do what you want
1275
01:17:14,723 --> 01:17:19,703
and you think better for the movie.
It involves fighting with everyone.
1276
01:17:19,704 --> 01:17:23,725
Often the fight is civil
and that makes it more difficult.
1277
01:17:23,726 --> 01:17:24,725
TRUE.
1278
01:17:24,726 --> 01:17:29,002
Because it all comes down to money.
1279
01:17:34,729 --> 01:17:37,704
They will never give you the money
1280
01:17:37,705 --> 01:17:40,029
yes Neve, you and me
we are in the movie.
1281
01:17:40,700 --> 01:17:41,699
True.
1282
01:17:41,700 --> 01:17:44,710
They would give us $4.50
for the movie.
1283
01:17:44,711 --> 01:17:46,011
Yes.
1284
01:17:47,721 --> 01:17:51,701
People who really
surpasses us in the industry
1285
01:17:51,702 --> 01:17:55,700
and creative forces
in front and behind the cameras,
1286
01:17:55,701 --> 01:17:56,719
until marketing,
1287
01:17:56,720 --> 01:18:02,714
they prosper because they have arrived
at a zen level, beyond.
1288
01:18:02,715 --> 01:18:04,717
All information is good.
1289
01:18:04,718 --> 01:18:10,710
If you give me something, I'll take advantage of it.
to advance on my path.
1290
01:18:10,711 --> 01:18:14,704
In the old days,
some were at the top
1291
01:18:14,705 --> 01:18:19,706
and they supported me.
John Calley and many others.
1292
01:18:19,707 --> 01:18:24,706
It's not that I believe
that they were bad,
1293
01:18:24,707 --> 01:18:27,716
but they were from another era.
1294
01:18:27,717 --> 01:18:31,725
-How much have they changed?
- They no longer exist.
1295
01:18:31,726 --> 01:18:34,716
According to Scorsese,
1296
01:18:34,717 --> 01:18:37,708
we must learn
to make movies for them.
1297
01:18:37,709 --> 01:18:40,709
What happens
is that we must overcome them.
1298
01:18:40,710 --> 01:18:45,706
Maybe I'm too old now,
but, to make one more film,
1299
01:18:45,707 --> 01:18:48,711
will live and continue
to see what I'm capable of.
1300
01:18:48,712 --> 01:18:51,702
There must be a way
that you make a movie.
1301
01:18:51,703 --> 01:18:53,726
You did it, and you continue to do it.
1302
01:18:53,727 --> 01:18:56,707
Find new individuals.
1303
01:18:56,708 --> 01:18:58,723
New individuals and technologies.
1304
01:18:58,724 --> 01:19:01,722
The cinema is bigger
than everything else.
1305
01:19:01,723 --> 01:19:07,710
Cinema really is a form
of art provided by the gods.
1306
01:19:07,711 --> 01:19:13,711
I have seen adults, people
like Marty or my friend George,
1307
01:19:13,712 --> 01:19:17,725
that take two pieces of a film
and they join them in different ways.
1308
01:19:17,726 --> 01:19:24,024
They discover something new, and they jump
of joy for that magic.
1309
01:19:24,703 --> 01:19:29,699
As long as that continues,
the rest doesn't matter.
1310
01:19:29,700 --> 01:19:33,728
On the way you find things
to revive you positively.
1311
01:19:33,729 --> 01:19:38,712
If something gets in your way, you throw it away.
You throw away this, that.
1312
01:19:38,713 --> 01:19:41,718
You must follow those impulses,
nothing more.
1313
01:19:41,719 --> 01:19:43,710
Especially with the years.
1314
01:19:43,711 --> 01:19:45,728
What is it like for you?
cinematography now?
1315
01:19:45,729 --> 01:19:47,029
Well...
1316
01:19:48,716 --> 01:19:52,724
I would say it's every time
easier to do.
1317
01:19:52,725 --> 01:19:58,725
The difficult
is to get financing.
1318
01:19:58,726 --> 01:20:05,705
I want to use new equipment
to move forward and be freer.
1319
01:20:05,706 --> 01:20:11,714
When on set and when
I start preparing the edition,
1320
01:20:11,715 --> 01:20:15,701
everything flows. I seek to simplify.
1321
01:20:15,702 --> 01:20:20,709
I don't need to search
some dazzling effect.
1322
01:20:20,710 --> 01:20:24,701
Today's cinema, fortunately,
It no longer has categories.
1323
01:20:24,702 --> 01:20:25,728
They are not relevant.
1324
01:20:25,729 --> 01:20:31,706
The idea of a solid plane
like Bertolucci or Kubrick,
1325
01:20:31,707 --> 01:20:34,029
in any big cinema...
1326
01:20:36,705 --> 01:20:37,728
...his mastery was lost.
1327
01:20:37,729 --> 01:20:39,029
Yes.
1328
01:20:39,700 --> 01:20:42,709
They were destroyed.
The plans mean nothing.
1329
01:20:42,710 --> 01:20:43,720
And you get caught.
1330
01:20:43,721 --> 01:20:47,705
you understand because
you started working with video.
1331
01:20:47,706 --> 01:20:48,726
Black and white.
1332
01:20:48,727 --> 01:20:51,029
You never stop learning.
1333
01:20:51,700 --> 01:20:55,001
There are physical changes,
things happen.
1334
01:20:57,718 --> 01:21:02,015
But there is a big difference
with great experiences.
1335
01:21:02,702 --> 01:21:06,719
Nowadays they make slops.
Excuse the term.
1336
01:21:06,720 --> 01:21:12,711
I criticize myself.
He never fooled anyone.
1337
01:21:12,712 --> 01:21:16,029
And I think, my job sucks.
1338
01:21:16,703 --> 01:21:19,711
I walk like a beggar.
1339
01:21:19,712 --> 01:21:23,703
Why doesn't anyone call me?
I go through those phases.
1340
01:21:23,704 --> 01:21:27,719
But in the end,
I am happy working.
1341
01:21:27,720 --> 01:21:33,716
Especially if you are not a passenger,
If it's something you value.
1342
01:21:33,717 --> 01:21:36,726
Obviously, you've had
health problems.
1343
01:21:36,727 --> 01:21:40,712
You hadn't made a movie
in 10 years because of your back.
1344
01:21:40,713 --> 01:21:47,005
Yes, it sounds like something stupid.
I was obsessed.
1345
01:21:47,700 --> 01:21:51,719
I couldn't move my back
and it was strange.
1346
01:21:51,720 --> 01:21:56,719
I had surgery three times.
I wanted to work. And here I am.
1347
01:21:56,720 --> 01:22:00,700
Each operation was worse
and more painful.
1348
01:22:00,701 --> 01:22:01,720
My sister went through that.
1349
01:22:01,721 --> 01:22:05,019
But I discovered that I can
make movies even like that.
1350
01:22:05,701 --> 01:22:06,718
Will you go back to work?
1351
01:22:06,719 --> 01:22:09,711
I hope to find
another film very soon.
1352
01:22:09,712 --> 01:22:12,726
In 10 years,
I never felt so good
1353
01:22:12,727 --> 01:22:16,711
as in the filming
from "Me and You".
1354
01:22:16,712 --> 01:22:21,723
Filming reminds me
my O'Malley days.
1355
01:22:21,724 --> 01:22:25,704
For years, I had in mind to do
1356
01:22:25,705 --> 01:22:28,728
a film about my childhood
and the occupation of Germany.
1357
01:22:28,729 --> 01:22:32,715
and found
the book "The Pianist."
1358
01:22:32,716 --> 01:22:38,706
I saw it very related
to my memories
1359
01:22:38,707 --> 01:22:42,726
without it being
my exact knowledge.
1360
01:22:42,727 --> 01:22:47,708
Because it wasn't
in the Krakow ghetto,
1361
01:22:47,709 --> 01:22:50,722
but in the Warsaw ghetto.
1362
01:22:50,723 --> 01:22:53,720
I would never make a movie
of the Krakow ghetto.
1363
01:22:53,721 --> 01:22:54,721
Why?
1364
01:22:54,722 --> 01:22:56,720
It's very close to my home.
1365
01:22:56,721 --> 01:23:01,705
When you make a movie
of a place, you ruin it.
1366
01:23:01,706 --> 01:23:03,722
Because it stops being a memory.
1367
01:23:03,723 --> 01:23:09,015
And the memories are part
important of my life.
1368
01:23:09,711 --> 01:23:13,709
I will never make another film
as successful as "The Godfather."
1369
01:23:13,710 --> 01:23:19,027
That was a stroke of luck.
And I started something new from scratch.
1370
01:23:19,703 --> 01:23:20,722
It's curious,
1371
01:23:20,723 --> 01:23:25,718
"Twixt" was supposed to be funny,
but she became serious.
1372
01:23:25,719 --> 01:23:30,705
So the movie
took a more tragic turn.
1373
01:23:30,706 --> 01:23:31,717
It didn't have the end.
1374
01:23:31,718 --> 01:23:36,720
In the script, he asked Poe
what was the end.
1375
01:23:36,721 --> 01:23:37,721
He answered:
1376
01:23:37,722 --> 01:23:42,029
"Do you want me to tell you?
If I do it, there is no return."
1377
01:23:42,707 --> 01:23:43,722
I didn't know what he was talking about.
1378
01:23:43,723 --> 01:23:48,725
And he said: "You are the end.
Look at yourself and you'll know what I'm saying."
1379
01:23:48,726 --> 01:23:52,007
It's time
to face the truth...
1380
01:23:52,717 --> 01:23:57,016
...to finish the story.
There is no alternative.
1381
01:23:57,729 --> 01:24:01,022
I never admitted...
1382
01:24:03,719 --> 01:24:06,725
...what is scene is
and what should have been.
1383
01:24:06,726 --> 01:24:09,717
I must have witnessed it.
It was a weekend.
1384
01:24:09,718 --> 01:24:13,707
I was working on a movie
and I said, "Let's use boats."
1385
01:24:13,708 --> 01:24:17,005
I thought they would be
small rowboats.
1386
01:24:17,700 --> 01:24:20,012
If you had been present...
1387
01:24:23,713 --> 01:24:26,019
...wouldn't have happened.
1388
01:24:29,713 --> 01:24:32,009
You already had a drink.
1389
01:24:37,722 --> 01:24:42,027
Sonny got shot
on the elevated. He's dead.
1390
01:24:48,723 --> 01:24:54,716
An alternative
for our proposal
1391
01:24:54,717 --> 01:24:59,701
It is a film in which
the essential theme is the same.
1392
01:24:59,702 --> 01:25:03,717
The characters, the politics,
sex, the past, romance.
1393
01:25:03,718 --> 01:25:07,717
All those things,
psychologically and emotionally.
1394
01:25:07,718 --> 01:25:08,728
The psychology.
1395
01:25:08,729 --> 01:25:13,701
But taken to a precedent
1396
01:25:13,702 --> 01:25:17,713
much smaller and more intimate.
In other words,
1397
01:25:17,714 --> 01:25:22,710
could be two people
who returned from the war
1398
01:25:22,711 --> 01:25:27,720
and they are lost, living
wherever you want.
1399
01:25:27,721 --> 01:25:32,714
Basically,
It would be a local place.
1400
01:25:32,715 --> 01:25:35,716
It would work inside
of the financial framework.
1401
01:25:35,717 --> 01:25:41,022
Tell me how much money you will give me
and I will adapt the film.
1402
01:25:41,716 --> 01:25:48,016
It's an investment
much bigger than this one.
1403
01:25:49,715 --> 01:25:54,010
They would be interested
in joining?
1404
01:25:54,714 --> 01:25:58,728
Be part of the financing
1405
01:25:58,729 --> 01:26:05,014
that we are close to obtaining
apparently.
1406
01:26:05,716 --> 01:26:11,716
I see three types that are
like a probationary board.
1407
01:26:11,717 --> 01:26:15,717
And you are Sir Han.
You will never be free.
1408
01:26:15,718 --> 01:26:16,717
Exactly.
1409
01:26:16,718 --> 01:26:19,710
As far as I know,
1410
01:26:19,711 --> 01:26:22,726
you would be affected
facing a loss of money
1411
01:26:22,727 --> 01:26:26,708
or you might not notice it;
I don't know that.
1412
01:26:26,709 --> 01:26:30,703
Everyone lies about money
and they hide it,
1413
01:26:30,704 --> 01:26:35,714
but they talk about the gallbladder,
the adventures, the crimes,
1414
01:26:35,715 --> 01:26:40,722
the drugs they use,
the drunkenness
1415
01:26:40,723 --> 01:26:43,713
- Originally it would be made in Iraq.
- Yes.
1416
01:26:43,714 --> 01:26:46,708
But to Jimmy he thought:
1417
01:26:46,709 --> 01:26:49,719
"There is no need to go to Tikrit.
Let them return from Iraq
1418
01:26:49,720 --> 01:26:52,714
shocked
by experience."
1419
01:26:52,715 --> 01:26:55,704
We want to make the film.
Jimmy will write it.
1420
01:26:55,705 --> 01:26:56,723
Will you finance it?
1421
01:26:56,724 --> 01:27:00,728
The truth is that this
It is attractive and exciting.
1422
01:27:00,729 --> 01:27:02,705
Of course he will.
1423
01:27:02,706 --> 01:27:03,719
It's very fun.
1424
01:27:03,720 --> 01:27:04,720
Yes, it is.
1425
01:27:04,721 --> 01:27:06,703
More fun.
1426
01:27:06,704 --> 01:27:08,029
There are two ways to do it:
1427
01:27:08,700 --> 01:27:11,709
From the emotional side
and from profits.
1428
01:27:11,710 --> 01:27:14,717
- Yes.
- You must evaluate everything.
1429
01:27:14,718 --> 01:27:18,701
It seems like a good idea.
I would have to check everything.
1430
01:27:18,702 --> 01:27:20,719
How much would you give us?
for the movie?
1431
01:27:20,720 --> 01:27:25,715
- They could get $25 million.
- Let's make the deal right now.
1432
01:27:25,716 --> 01:27:27,016
My God.
1433
01:27:27,701 --> 01:27:29,713
I'm going to write
1434
01:27:29,714 --> 01:27:33,722
the amount of money
that I am willing to give them.
1435
01:27:33,723 --> 01:27:34,723
OK.
1436
01:27:34,724 --> 01:27:36,724
- But they can't see it yet.
- Good.
1437
01:27:36,725 --> 01:27:39,009
- Okay?
- Yes.
1438
01:27:47,709 --> 01:27:49,715
When will this end?
1439
01:27:49,716 --> 01:27:52,717
Did you record that lightning bolt?
Surely yes.
1440
01:27:52,718 --> 01:27:56,705
- How do you feel?
- I'm optimistic.
1441
01:27:56,706 --> 01:27:59,719
Of course.
I expect nothing less from you.
1442
01:27:59,720 --> 01:28:04,720
I need to balance your...
What to call it?
1443
01:28:04,721 --> 01:28:06,713
Affection for reality.
1444
01:28:06,714 --> 01:28:10,713
Yes. Taki wrote:
"As much as you need."
1445
01:28:10,714 --> 01:28:16,707
And do you believe him? "You don't think there is
great malice in your personality?
1446
01:28:16,708 --> 01:28:20,703
Of course yes, but no
regarding the movie.
1447
01:28:20,704 --> 01:28:21,716
And even if it were so,
1448
01:28:21,717 --> 01:28:25,710
we have the three investors
from "Seduced and Abandoned".
1449
01:28:25,711 --> 01:28:27,725
We have the $25 million
by Medavoy.
1450
01:28:27,726 --> 01:28:31,700
We have prospects
like Gosling and Chastain.
1451
01:28:31,701 --> 01:28:35,709
We only have the same
what we arrive with: Hope.
1452
01:28:35,710 --> 01:28:36,720
That's good.
1453
01:28:36,721 --> 01:28:40,704
Everyone loses hope.
Ours is intact.
1454
01:28:40,705 --> 01:28:43,715
By the way, the music
for "Seduced and Abandoned"
1455
01:28:43,716 --> 01:28:46,699
Yar Shostakovich must do it.
1456
01:28:46,700 --> 01:28:48,716
The dark poetic beauty
of the Fifth
1457
01:28:48,717 --> 01:28:52,703
juxtaposed
to the perverse waltzes.
1458
01:28:52,704 --> 01:28:56,015
It is as if Shostakovich
I composed it for you.
1459
01:28:56,704 --> 01:29:00,015
Vitality and elegance united.
1460
01:29:03,708 --> 01:29:05,029
FILMS ARE A PHENOMENON
1461
01:29:05,701 --> 01:29:07,715
WHOSE LIKENESS OF DEATH
HAS BEEN IGNORED
1462
01:29:07,716 --> 01:29:08,726
FOR A LONG TIME
1463
01:29:08,727 --> 01:29:10,026
NORMAN MAILER
1464
01:29:11,706 --> 01:29:13,006
I love you.
1465
01:29:16,714 --> 01:29:19,008
I want to know your name.
1466
01:29:30,710 --> 01:29:35,029
I will ask you the same thing
that I have asked everyone.
1467
01:29:35,714 --> 01:29:38,026
I always think about this.
1468
01:29:38,702 --> 01:29:41,709
I know you love life
and you want to live.
1469
01:29:41,710 --> 01:29:45,024
But you fear death
or are you ready for it?
1470
01:29:45,711 --> 01:29:47,017
Thank you so much.
1471
01:29:49,716 --> 01:29:52,022
At 11:45.
1472
01:29:52,709 --> 01:29:54,724
No, because I want to be a mother.
1473
01:29:54,725 --> 01:29:57,714
I don't think about it.
I guess I am.
1474
01:29:57,715 --> 01:29:59,716
Are you prepared
for death, right?
1475
01:29:59,717 --> 01:30:02,027
You don't want it, but you don't fear it.
1476
01:30:02,713 --> 01:30:05,022
Of course I do.
If you say so.
1477
01:30:05,707 --> 01:30:08,728
I can create a montage
of death. That's what matters.
1478
01:30:08,729 --> 01:30:13,710
- I want to make 50 more movies.
- Would you accept only four?
1479
01:30:13,711 --> 01:30:16,718
Four, no. I do three a year.
1480
01:30:16,719 --> 01:30:21,718
- You will not live 60 more years.
- What? Get out of here.
1481
01:30:21,719 --> 01:30:26,720
I was never willing
to die,
1482
01:30:26,721 --> 01:30:29,707
but I was always ready.
1483
01:30:29,708 --> 01:30:31,711
To die? I'm not ready.
1484
01:30:31,712 --> 01:30:33,717
There are still things
what I would like to do.
1485
01:30:33,718 --> 01:30:35,709
Maybe a little later.
1486
01:30:35,710 --> 01:30:40,021
I don't worry about that.
It will happen and interrupt something.
1487
01:30:41,706 --> 01:30:46,016
I still struggle with the aspects
religious of the same.
1488
01:30:47,701 --> 01:30:49,716
I don't think I'm ready.
1489
01:30:49,717 --> 01:30:54,007
- Are you prepared to die?
- No.
1490
01:30:54,707 --> 01:30:55,715
Shut up now!
1491
01:30:55,716 --> 01:30:57,701
He asks everyone.
1492
01:30:57,702 --> 01:31:02,728
How will I be prepared?
Do I sit down with a pipe?
1493
01:31:02,729 --> 01:31:04,029
What are you talking about?
1494
01:31:04,700 --> 01:31:08,721
In this movie, we only need
go to intensive care
1495
01:31:08,722 --> 01:31:11,725
and ask an old man
95 year old intubated:
1496
01:31:11,726 --> 01:31:15,022
"Are you prepared to die?"
1497
01:31:15,711 --> 01:31:19,710
I am aware, but I do
everything possible to postpone it.
1498
01:31:19,711 --> 01:31:24,712
I was on a plane
that started to fall.
1499
01:31:24,713 --> 01:31:27,709
everyone was looking
who was next to him
1500
01:31:27,710 --> 01:31:30,726
to create a bond with
the person you will die with.
1501
01:31:30,727 --> 01:31:34,014
People were crying.
It was very dramatic.
1502
01:31:34,700 --> 01:31:38,006
my instinct
was finishing my steak.
1503
01:31:38,707 --> 01:31:43,027
I started swallowing everything.
1504
01:31:43,720 --> 01:31:46,715
John Updike, very fine.
1505
01:31:46,716 --> 01:31:51,706
wonderful poet,
novelist and critic.
1506
01:31:51,707 --> 01:31:55,728
He died in the 70s
of cancer, without complaining.
1507
01:31:55,729 --> 01:32:00,728
Nobody knew he was sick.
He wrote this before he died.
1508
01:32:00,729 --> 01:32:02,713
It's called R�quiem:
1509
01:32:02,714 --> 01:32:07,702
"I recently realized
that when I die no one will say
1510
01:32:07,703 --> 01:32:11,705
'What a shame, I was very young
and full of promises'.
1511
01:32:11,706 --> 01:32:13,706
Unfathomable depths.
1512
01:32:13,707 --> 01:32:16,725
Instead,
sadness and dry eyes
1513
01:32:16,726 --> 01:32:19,721
will receive
my late disappearance.
1514
01:32:19,722 --> 01:32:24,726
I know the big answer will be:
'I thought he had already died.'
1515
01:32:24,727 --> 01:32:28,709
Well life
It's a tattered subterfuge
1516
01:32:28,710 --> 01:32:33,704
and death is real,
gloomy and immense.
1517
01:32:33,705 --> 01:32:36,720
There will be no registration
of any impression,
1518
01:32:36,721 --> 01:32:39,013
except where it happens."
1519
01:32:39,702 --> 01:32:40,713
You know I love you.
1520
01:32:40,714 --> 01:32:41,714
Yes.
1521
01:32:41,715 --> 01:32:44,715
You know I have you
a great appreciation.
1522
01:32:44,716 --> 01:32:46,711
And this is one of the reasons.
1523
01:32:46,712 --> 01:32:48,720
you are an excellent
poetry reader
1524
01:32:48,721 --> 01:32:51,724
- Thank you.
- You read it beautifully.
1525
01:32:51,725 --> 01:32:52,725
Thank you.
1526
01:32:52,726 --> 01:32:57,725
Despite all your tendencies
self-destructive.
1527
01:32:57,726 --> 01:32:59,701
I adore you.
1528
01:32:59,702 --> 01:33:00,702
Thank you.
1529
01:33:00,703 --> 01:33:02,019
You just need to kiss him.
1530
01:33:03,719 --> 01:33:07,005
I just adore him,
I don't want to make love to him.
1531
01:33:10,710 --> 01:33:14,722
The best part
and the beauty of the films
1532
01:33:14,723 --> 01:33:20,720
it conjures
notions of finality and death.
1533
01:33:20,721 --> 01:33:23,702
The film ends and it is an end.
1534
01:33:23,703 --> 01:33:25,728
Sitting in the dark,
with dim light.
1535
01:33:25,729 --> 01:33:31,008
As long as the movie rolls,
you're alive, and suddenly...
