1
00:00:23,840 --> 00:00:27,356
A film by
Jürgen Leth and Lars von Trier

2
00:00:27,600 --> 00:00:31,640
Idea: Lars von Trier, based on Jürgen Leths
"The Perfect Man", 1967

3
00:00:35,360 --> 00:00:37,670
So, I don't want to decide here.

4
00:00:37,840 --> 00:00:41,800
But we set out without a script
admitted the project.

5
00:00:41,960 --> 00:00:45,237
The idea is that we
Watch “The Perfect Man.”

6
00:00:45,400 --> 00:00:49,189
And then I would like to
I formulate obstacles with you...

7
00:00:49,360 --> 00:00:52,319
...which should serve as a basis.

8
00:00:52,560 --> 00:00:57,510
I imagine we do it five times
the same film: The Perfect Man.

9
00:00:57,680 --> 00:01:01,356
Let's take a look at him.
Then you have it present.

10
00:01:01,520 --> 00:01:05,036
I've probably seen him twenty times.
- That's fantastic.

11
00:01:18,760 --> 00:01:20,558
Yes, there he is.

12
00:01:20,960 --> 00:01:23,680
Who is he? What can he do?

13
00:01:24,040 --> 00:01:25,713
What does he want?

14
00:01:25,920 --> 00:01:28,116
Why is he moving like that?

15
00:01:28,280 --> 00:01:31,000
Why is he moving this way?

16
00:01:31,160 --> 00:01:33,800
Look at him. Look at him now.

17
00:01:33,960 --> 00:01:35,076
And now.

18
00:01:35,400 --> 00:01:37,756
Keep looking at him.

19
00:01:42,720 --> 00:01:44,677
Now the music is gone.

20
00:01:44,840 --> 00:01:46,832
No more music.

21
00:01:49,240 --> 00:01:54,076
The perfect person is in a room
without borders and without anything.

22
00:01:54,240 --> 00:01:56,755
And a voice says a few words.

23
00:01:56,920 --> 00:01:59,958
This voice that says these words.

24
00:02:06,120 --> 00:02:07,634
Look at him now.

25
00:02:07,800 --> 00:02:10,076
Keep looking at him.

26
00:02:13,800 --> 00:02:17,032
This little pearl
let's destroy now.

27
00:02:17,440 --> 00:02:19,397
It has to be that way.

28
00:02:19,560 --> 00:02:22,075
A good perversion.
You have to maintain it.

29
00:02:22,280 --> 00:02:25,079
First obstacle... Write it down.

30
00:02:25,240 --> 00:02:29,792
Maximum of 12 images per shot.

31
00:02:31,120 --> 00:02:34,477
Obstacle 1: 12 images

32
00:02:35,520 --> 00:02:41,073
I could well imagine...
A few questions are asked in the film.

33
00:02:41,800 --> 00:02:44,599
The speaker asks some questions.

34
00:02:44,760 --> 00:02:48,151
Correct. "What is this person doing?
What about the music...?"

35
00:02:48,320 --> 00:02:50,551
I would like to have them answered.

36
00:02:51,480 --> 00:02:54,837
Obstacle 1: 12 images. Answer.

37
00:02:55,160 --> 00:02:57,516
I have to think for a moment.

38
00:03:00,520 --> 00:03:04,355
I have to think for a moment.
Now you can film Jürgen.

39
00:03:04,520 --> 00:03:07,911
Good, such a cigar. This gives...

40
00:03:09,320 --> 00:03:11,551
...someone a job.

41
00:03:11,760 --> 00:03:16,312
Seen purely manually.
While you think.

42
00:03:16,520 --> 00:03:19,672
In Haiti I smoke after that
Always a cigar for dinner.

43
00:03:19,840 --> 00:03:24,073
And in special ones
Occasions it is a Havana.

44
00:03:24,240 --> 00:03:28,075
What does this look like geographically?
Where is Cuba from there?

45
00:03:28,240 --> 00:03:32,234
Cuba is near Haiti.
I've never been to Cuba.

46
00:03:32,520 --> 00:03:35,797
Then the film has to be shot there.

47
00:03:36,360 --> 00:03:38,192
That's obvious.

48
00:03:38,360 --> 00:03:43,116
Carsten, the budget allows for that
the first film is shot in Cuba?

49
00:03:43,280 --> 00:03:46,591
Obstacle 1: 12 images. Answer. Cuba.

50
00:03:46,760 --> 00:03:51,630
You decide whether you take people with you and
how you work. Documentary or...

51
00:03:51,800 --> 00:03:56,750
I want to make a room there too.
It can also be a shield.

52
00:03:56,920 --> 00:04:00,800
It's annoying, but that's not possible.
- Really?

53
00:04:00,960 --> 00:04:04,874
Then I'd better not say what I want.
- Now you said it.

54
00:04:05,040 --> 00:04:06,440
No shielding.

55
00:04:06,600 --> 00:04:09,911
Obstacle 1: 12 images.
Answer. Cuba. No set.

56
00:04:10,080 --> 00:04:14,950
I'm already looking forward to the film.
He's going to be fantastic.

57
00:04:15,120 --> 00:04:17,271
This is the first one.
- Exactly.

58
00:04:17,440 --> 00:04:21,559
Have a nice trip, Jürgen.
- Thank you. Thank you, Lars.

59
00:04:22,720 --> 00:04:25,474
See you soon.

60
00:04:27,440 --> 00:04:30,274
That's completely crazy.

61
00:04:33,320 --> 00:04:35,789
Maximum of 12 images per shot.

62
00:04:35,960 --> 00:04:37,758
Damn...

63
00:04:37,920 --> 00:04:40,276
That's totally...

64
00:04:40,440 --> 00:04:42,238
...destructive.

65
00:04:42,400 --> 00:04:44,790
This is totally destructive.

66
00:04:44,960 --> 00:04:48,112
What the hell does he expect from me?

67
00:04:48,280 --> 00:04:50,237
He does it...

68
00:04:50,400 --> 00:04:53,837
...broken right from the start. So...

69
00:04:56,120 --> 00:04:58,351
...a spastic film.

70
00:05:02,000 --> 00:05:04,913
This is too difficult. Really.

71
00:05:08,800 --> 00:05:10,871
That doesn't work.

72
00:05:14,960 --> 00:05:18,636
A single car drives past.
One.

73
00:05:20,000 --> 00:05:21,719
And another one.

74
00:05:23,680 --> 00:05:25,797
Along the water.

75
00:05:38,120 --> 00:05:41,670
Kind of idiotic to get up so early.

76
00:05:45,360 --> 00:05:48,034
Look!
Now she lies down.

77
00:05:48,240 --> 00:05:49,674
How does she lie down?

78
00:05:50,560 --> 00:05:53,473
So she lies down. So.

79
00:05:55,160 --> 00:05:57,391
We are in Cuba.
- Yes.

80
00:05:58,480 --> 00:06:02,918
We take
a real man.

81
00:06:06,400 --> 00:06:08,039
Man cubano.

82
00:06:12,360 --> 00:06:15,592
What's her name?
-Vivian.

83
00:06:17,160 --> 00:06:19,914
She is a dancer.
- She looks good.

84
00:06:20,080 --> 00:06:23,835
Sing.
- Do you speak English? No.

85
00:06:24,800 --> 00:06:27,759
She is lovely.
- Yes, she looks good.

86
00:06:27,960 --> 00:06:30,395
Where is Dan?
- We're waiting for Dan.

87
00:06:30,720 --> 00:06:32,871
Have they explained it?

88
00:06:33,040 --> 00:06:35,874
No, we haven't explained anything.

89
00:06:37,200 --> 00:06:38,350
She looks very good.

90
00:06:38,520 --> 00:06:41,672
Hello, I'm Dan, the photographer.

91
00:06:42,920 --> 00:06:46,436
She is a dancer.
- Really? Good.

92
00:06:49,360 --> 00:06:53,354
The others come too, a little later.
- We don't have to decide anything yet.

93
00:06:53,520 --> 00:06:55,113
We don't have to decide anything.

94
00:06:55,280 --> 00:06:57,237
Does she have the phone number?

95
00:06:57,400 --> 00:06:59,915
Jos� has them.
- Jos� has it?

96
00:07:00,120 --> 00:07:03,397
We become the perfect person
see in function.

97
00:07:05,480 --> 00:07:07,676
How does it work?

98
00:07:08,080 --> 00:07:11,312
What kind of creature is this?
We'll take a look at that.

99
00:07:12,240 --> 00:07:13,959
We will investigate that.

100
00:07:14,120 --> 00:07:18,876
Now we will see how the perfect one
person looks and what he can do.

101
00:07:19,040 --> 00:07:22,238
He brought photos of the second woman.

102
00:07:22,400 --> 00:07:25,598
He says it's a bad picture,
she is very beautiful.

103
00:07:25,760 --> 00:07:28,832
Yes, looks like that.
- At least that's what he says.

104
00:07:29,040 --> 00:07:32,920
Yes, sure.
- He says she has great breasts.

105
00:07:33,080 --> 00:07:34,878
My goodness!

106
00:07:35,040 --> 00:07:36,918
And then these.
I don't know.

107
00:07:37,080 --> 00:07:40,152
We don't take them.

108
00:07:41,240 --> 00:07:42,560
No.

109
00:07:43,720 --> 00:07:46,838
Would that be a variant, Dan?

110
00:07:47,000 --> 00:07:51,074
Claus Nissen cuts it out of the scene
onto his hands and then onto paper.

111
00:07:51,240 --> 00:07:53,596
But that looks messy.

112
00:07:53,760 --> 00:07:56,832
He couldn't be out of the picture
have a bowl of water?

113
00:07:57,000 --> 00:07:59,959
Yes that works.
- Then that's okay.

114
00:08:02,040 --> 00:08:06,637
Today I experienced something that...
hopefully I'll understand soon.

115
00:08:07,880 --> 00:08:12,750
There was a glow around my left hand
a wreath of misty, white flames.

116
00:08:13,680 --> 00:08:19,153
I looked closely at the left side
my own dark jacket.

117
00:08:20,760 --> 00:08:26,313
Was right in the middle of my heart
a small, white dot.

118
00:08:27,440 --> 00:08:29,955
I don't know what that means.

119
00:08:34,120 --> 00:08:36,999
I have it under control,
I believe.

120
00:08:39,280 --> 00:08:42,193
12 pictures are a paper tiger.

121
00:08:46,000 --> 00:08:49,357
You have no idea how to do that
the 12 pictures should go.

122
00:08:49,520 --> 00:08:52,558
No, I really didn't.

123
00:08:52,720 --> 00:08:54,393
Really not.

124
00:08:58,480 --> 00:09:00,199
Hello, Jürgen.

125
00:09:00,360 --> 00:09:02,716
You look good!
This is not good.

126
00:09:02,880 --> 00:09:04,997
That's a bad sign.

127
00:09:05,160 --> 00:09:08,517
You would have to
actually looks smashed...

128
00:09:08,680 --> 00:09:11,354
...after all the obstacles.

129
00:09:12,320 --> 00:09:14,994
I'm supposed to have crutches.

130
00:09:15,280 --> 00:09:16,634
Sit down, Jurgen.

131
00:09:16,800 --> 00:09:19,395
I'm looking forward to
to show him to you.

132
00:09:19,760 --> 00:09:22,400
I'm already skeptical.
- Sure!

133
00:09:22,560 --> 00:09:25,712
I can't imagine it.

134
00:09:25,880 --> 00:09:28,156
No, right?

135
00:09:28,680 --> 00:09:33,391
That there was a solution, a recipe.
- I hope not.

136
00:09:33,920 --> 00:09:38,312
It drives you crazy
when a solution emerges.

137
00:09:38,520 --> 00:09:40,796
12 images.
- 12 images. That was fucking mean.

138
00:09:40,960 --> 00:09:44,749
That was mean. That was diabolical.

139
00:09:44,960 --> 00:09:48,237
And I should ask the questions
answer the narrator's question.

140
00:09:48,400 --> 00:09:49,754
Right, yes.

141
00:09:49,920 --> 00:09:53,994
Rotate in one place,
where I've never been.

142
00:09:54,160 --> 00:09:56,436
And I wasn't allowed to have a set.
- No.

143
00:09:56,600 --> 00:09:59,593
Four. Quite a few
for an obstacle.

144
00:09:59,760 --> 00:10:04,198
Yes, you can probably say that.
Next time there will have to be more.

145
00:10:07,320 --> 00:10:10,392
You can be prepared for it.

146
00:10:11,720 --> 00:10:13,951
You have exposed yourself.

147
00:10:16,240 --> 00:10:20,871
Those around me said:
Don't expose yourself to Lars.

148
00:10:21,800 --> 00:10:27,114
And of course you do it first. This
Next time we take 5 obstacles.

149
00:10:28,440 --> 00:10:32,070
I would be ready.
I'd like to show you the first obstacle.

150
00:10:35,720 --> 00:10:39,157
The perfect person, Cuba

151
00:11:13,760 --> 00:11:16,832
Cuba, Cuba...

152
00:11:17,960 --> 00:11:19,360
...Havana...

153
00:11:20,440 --> 00:11:21,794
...cigar...

154
00:11:22,040 --> 00:11:24,475
...man, woman...

155
00:11:26,800 --> 00:11:29,235
...Havana, Cuba.

156
00:11:30,200 --> 00:11:33,079
This voice says these words.

157
00:11:35,840 --> 00:11:37,957
Man, woman...

158
00:11:38,560 --> 00:11:41,792
...cigar, man.

159
00:11:46,120 --> 00:11:48,840
Here is the perfect person.

160
00:11:49,040 --> 00:11:51,794
Here is the perfect person.

161
00:11:52,600 --> 00:11:57,629
We want to investigate how the perfect one
person looks and what he can do.

162
00:12:01,160 --> 00:12:04,232
We look at the perfect person.

163
00:12:11,040 --> 00:12:13,475
The perfect person takes off his clothes.

164
00:12:13,640 --> 00:12:15,916
Tie, jacket...

165
00:12:17,840 --> 00:12:19,479
...shoes...

166
00:12:20,560 --> 00:12:24,270
...pants, shirt.

167
00:12:25,800 --> 00:12:27,678
movements.

168
00:12:30,840 --> 00:12:33,400
Here is the perfect person.

169
00:12:33,840 --> 00:12:36,480
Here is the perfect person.

170
00:12:37,280 --> 00:12:40,159
We look at the perfect person.

171
00:12:41,000 --> 00:12:43,834
We look at the perfect person.

172
00:12:46,360 --> 00:12:47,919
One eye.

173
00:12:48,080 --> 00:12:50,754
Look at this person's eye.

174
00:12:52,320 --> 00:12:53,595
And a mouth.

175
00:12:53,960 --> 00:12:55,394
A mouth.

176
00:12:59,160 --> 00:13:02,073
The perfect person moves
in a room.

177
00:13:03,280 --> 00:13:05,237
There is music in the room.

178
00:13:06,280 --> 00:13:09,000
There is no music in the room.

179
00:13:09,760 --> 00:13:11,717
There is music in the room.

180
00:13:11,880 --> 00:13:14,156
This is how he moves.

181
00:13:15,120 --> 00:13:17,874
Why is he moving this way?

182
00:13:18,720 --> 00:13:23,078
Because women like it,
when he moves like that.

183
00:13:25,360 --> 00:13:26,999
An ear.

184
00:13:27,160 --> 00:13:29,675
This is what an ear looks like.

185
00:13:29,920 --> 00:13:31,957
Another ear.

186
00:13:34,600 --> 00:13:36,478
And another mouth.

187
00:13:41,400 --> 00:13:43,869
Steps.
She lies down.

188
00:13:44,040 --> 00:13:46,157
How does she lie down?

189
00:13:46,720 --> 00:13:48,757
She lays down like this.

190
00:13:50,200 --> 00:13:52,317
So she lies down.

191
00:13:58,600 --> 00:14:00,478
What does the perfect person think about?

192
00:14:00,640 --> 00:14:04,554
If he thinks about happiness, about death,
to love?

193
00:14:04,720 --> 00:14:08,270
About what he's doing tonight?
Maybe to women.

194
00:14:08,440 --> 00:14:11,592
What it's like when he touches her skin.

195
00:14:11,960 --> 00:14:16,989
Maybe he's thinking about her eyes,
her legs, her mouth.

196
00:14:19,000 --> 00:14:21,754
Maybe because of what she said to him.

197
00:14:23,240 --> 00:14:24,833
your words.

198
00:14:27,880 --> 00:14:30,190
And today I experienced something...

199
00:14:30,360 --> 00:14:34,513
...I hope so
I'll understand soon.

200
00:14:36,200 --> 00:14:40,240
Around my left hand...

201
00:14:41,400 --> 00:14:45,030
...a wreath of misty radiated...

202
00:14:46,760 --> 00:14:48,672
...white flames.

203
00:14:50,960 --> 00:14:55,432
I looked closely...

204
00:14:57,560 --> 00:15:00,758
...the left side of my dark jacket.

205
00:15:06,360 --> 00:15:10,991
Was right in the middle of my heart
a small, white dot.

206
00:15:12,600 --> 00:15:14,319
I don't know
what that means.

207
00:15:26,600 --> 00:15:31,595
I also experienced something today
I hope I will understand soon.

208
00:15:42,840 --> 00:15:47,756
That was a complete mistake
with the obstacles.

209
00:15:50,040 --> 00:15:52,157
The one with the 12 pictures
was a gift.

210
00:15:52,320 --> 00:15:55,518
Yes, with that thought
I went to work.

211
00:15:55,680 --> 00:16:01,039
I have to say, that was like
an old Leth film.

212
00:16:01,360 --> 00:16:02,430
Interesting!

213
00:16:02,600 --> 00:16:06,196
You have passed provisionally, Jürgen.
- I'm glad about that.

214
00:16:06,360 --> 00:16:11,435
I prepared a little snack,
which we are taking now.

215
00:16:11,600 --> 00:16:12,750
Good.

216
00:16:12,920 --> 00:16:18,837
I'm particularly looking forward to the vodka.
I have a penchant for alcohol.

217
00:16:20,760 --> 00:16:25,073
It tastes good before 12 o'clock.
- That's when he works best.

218
00:16:27,600 --> 00:16:31,355
Splendid.
- The spoon should be made of bone.

219
00:16:31,520 --> 00:16:35,753
For caviar
you shouldn't use metal.

220
00:16:36,200 --> 00:16:40,194
We need to corner you even more
drive. We need to discuss this.

221
00:16:41,200 --> 00:16:44,716
You can decide for yourself
how much you help me.

222
00:16:44,880 --> 00:16:46,678
You should help me.

223
00:16:46,920 --> 00:16:50,994
That's what you say, but I think...

224
00:16:51,640 --> 00:16:54,838
...I shouldn't worry about you
let us look more into the cards.

225
00:16:55,000 --> 00:16:57,435
You will use it against me.

226
00:16:57,600 --> 00:17:03,392
That is clear. But this is one type
Therapy. In principle it's the same.

227
00:17:03,560 --> 00:17:08,316
Why should you go when you can...
don't want to let anyone look at their cards?

228
00:17:08,520 --> 00:17:12,594
My plan is,
to come from perfect to human.

229
00:17:12,760 --> 00:17:17,073
That's my concept, so to speak.
- Yes OK.

230
00:17:17,240 --> 00:17:20,950
Actually, I would you
very fond of trivializing.

231
00:17:22,000 --> 00:17:24,276
But how do we do that?

232
00:17:25,880 --> 00:17:29,840
I don't know.
- But we'll try.

233
00:17:30,040 --> 00:17:34,319
But I want you to help me.
Maybe we'll find something that hurts.

234
00:17:34,480 --> 00:17:38,360
Like the one with the 12 pictures.

235
00:17:38,520 --> 00:17:43,675
I can't name any sore points.
- No, but the 12 pictures were one.

236
00:17:43,840 --> 00:17:45,672
An absolutely sore point!

237
00:17:45,840 --> 00:17:51,472
The excessive distance you have
about the things you describe...

238
00:17:53,080 --> 00:17:56,517
...we could do next
get to work.

239
00:17:56,760 --> 00:18:01,073
This is not just an attitude.
- No, that's very clear.

240
00:18:01,240 --> 00:18:05,359
We could also your morals
put something to the test.

241
00:18:05,520 --> 00:18:07,751
That could be interesting.
- Yes.

242
00:18:07,920 --> 00:18:11,072
We talk so much
About the morality of the viewer.

243
00:18:11,240 --> 00:18:15,280
Yes, my role is that of the viewer.

244
00:18:15,840 --> 00:18:17,320
That's my instinct.

245
00:18:17,480 --> 00:18:22,316
I don't want you as a viewer.
You should live with me.

246
00:18:28,000 --> 00:18:33,473
I could imagine you
desolate place on earth.

247
00:18:33,640 --> 00:18:35,359
Obstacle 2: a desolate place.

248
00:18:35,520 --> 00:18:37,318
You have no problem with that.
- No.

249
00:18:37,480 --> 00:18:41,713
You can tolerate desolate places well.

250
00:18:41,880 --> 00:18:44,031
As long as there is a hotel.

251
00:18:44,200 --> 00:18:49,320
I don't say anything. You define yourself
the most desolate place.

252
00:18:53,000 --> 00:18:58,632
Can you imagine a place
or topics that are not useful?

253
00:18:58,800 --> 00:19:00,632
No, you can't.

254
00:19:00,800 --> 00:19:02,871
No, not immediately.

255
00:19:06,080 --> 00:19:07,799
Not immediately.

256
00:19:08,120 --> 00:19:10,635
But despite everything, I'm not that rude.

257
00:19:10,800 --> 00:19:15,591
I say this now, but it may well be
that I'm reaching my limits...

258
00:19:15,760 --> 00:19:19,071
...when I am confronted with something.

259
00:19:19,720 --> 00:19:23,839
You would become a dying child
filming in a refugee camp...

260
00:19:24,000 --> 00:19:26,834
...and that with the text
Accompany “The Perfect Man”?

261
00:19:27,000 --> 00:19:28,673
No.

262
00:19:28,840 --> 00:19:31,355
I'm not that perverted.

263
00:19:31,520 --> 00:19:36,037
But there is a level of perversion
in this whole...

264
00:19:36,280 --> 00:19:38,670
In the distance.
- Yes, in the distance.

265
00:19:38,840 --> 00:19:41,309
And in the way you do things.

266
00:19:41,520 --> 00:19:45,400
How far would you go
if you didn't describe anything?

267
00:19:45,640 --> 00:19:48,917
Would be interesting.
A chemical experiment.

268
00:19:49,080 --> 00:19:50,799
Would anything rub off?

269
00:19:50,960 --> 00:19:54,351
I would like to expose you to something...

270
00:19:54,520 --> 00:19:57,672
...something really stressful.

271
00:19:58,080 --> 00:20:01,118
Real dramas,
that you wouldn't film.

272
00:20:01,280 --> 00:20:03,351
Obstacle 2: desolate place, don't show

273
00:20:03,520 --> 00:20:06,160
Yes, this is an exciting discipline.

274
00:20:06,320 --> 00:20:08,152
How close can you get?

275
00:20:08,320 --> 00:20:13,714
And when you come back I want,
that you tell the story.

276
00:20:14,760 --> 00:20:16,558
Let's say you're the man.

277
00:20:16,720 --> 00:20:18,234
Jürgen Leth is the man

278
00:20:18,400 --> 00:20:20,551
You are Claus Nissen.

279
00:20:21,040 --> 00:20:24,556
The meal is there, the woman is not.

280
00:20:24,720 --> 00:20:27,554
Your absence
has something Pinter-ish about it.

281
00:20:28,440 --> 00:20:30,238
But the meal is there.

282
00:20:30,400 --> 00:20:32,039
The meal

283
00:20:32,200 --> 00:20:33,873
Have you thought about it?

284
00:20:34,240 --> 00:20:36,800
Yes, I changed my mind.

285
00:20:58,040 --> 00:21:02,353
Even today I experienced something
which I hope to understand soon.

286
00:21:06,520 --> 00:21:11,390
It is the romantic idea
which Lars von Trier has...

287
00:21:11,720 --> 00:21:18,274
...that you are influenced,
when you are in a situation...

288
00:21:18,440 --> 00:21:23,720
...where a social drama takes place,
before our eyes.

289
00:21:25,120 --> 00:21:28,796
And he likes it,
when you measure...

290
00:21:28,960 --> 00:21:35,309
...to what extent something affects you
rubs off, has an influence.

291
00:21:35,480 --> 00:21:38,200
Can you see it?

292
00:21:38,800 --> 00:21:41,360
Can it be measured?

293
00:21:42,320 --> 00:21:46,837
But I think that's purely romantic,
in a way. That's clear.

294
00:21:47,000 --> 00:21:52,280
There is no physiological law
no physical law that says...

295
00:21:52,440 --> 00:21:57,799
...that you can collapse...

296
00:21:58,800 --> 00:22:03,716
...if you have a certain proximity
to something. I do not believe that.

297
00:22:03,920 --> 00:22:08,472
We are on the way
in the red light district.

298
00:22:08,920 --> 00:22:10,752
Falkland Rd.

299
00:22:13,040 --> 00:22:17,671
And that's a horror scene...

300
00:22:17,840 --> 00:22:20,355
...as I discovered a few years ago.

301
00:22:22,640 --> 00:22:24,836
I don't have any rupees.

302
00:22:27,880 --> 00:22:29,951
I don't have any.

303
00:22:34,720 --> 00:22:38,157
Do you have ten rupees, Marianne?

304
00:22:38,320 --> 00:22:41,916
I don't have any change.

305
00:22:58,160 --> 00:23:01,710
Unfortunately you cannot open the window.

306
00:23:07,440 --> 00:23:09,716
Please.

307
00:23:10,400 --> 00:23:13,120
I don't have any more.

308
00:23:35,600 --> 00:23:38,513
Lars von Trier wants a scene like that.

309
00:23:38,680 --> 00:23:41,479
That's what he wants, right?

310
00:23:41,640 --> 00:23:45,190
Damn, he should get her too.

311
00:23:48,320 --> 00:23:53,679
A film like this is difficult to make.
This is a difficult...

312
00:23:53,840 --> 00:24:00,076
...task, because whatever we film...

313
00:24:01,160 --> 00:24:04,437
... whatever I say to you,
to the camera...

314
00:24:05,440 --> 00:24:09,320
...it will always be a game:-

315
00:24:09,480 --> 00:24:15,750
a constant approach...

316
00:24:16,160 --> 00:24:19,995
...and then show it from a distance.

317
00:24:20,280 --> 00:24:24,638
I'm so cool. It doesn't bother me...

318
00:24:25,560 --> 00:24:28,200
...to play the perfect person...

319
00:24:28,360 --> 00:24:33,719
...in front of someone
x-any background.

320
00:24:37,080 --> 00:24:40,471
It's just like that.
It's pretty simple.

321
00:24:53,320 --> 00:24:58,270
You know “The Perfect Man”?
- I remember.

322
00:24:58,440 --> 00:25:00,830
We have him here.
They will watch it again.

323
00:25:01,000 --> 00:25:06,280
The most important scene
is the one with the food.

324
00:25:06,560 --> 00:25:09,473
I will act in the film.

325
00:25:20,440 --> 00:25:23,672
Why is luck so fickle?

326
00:25:23,840 --> 00:25:26,036
Why is the joy so short?

327
00:25:26,200 --> 00:25:28,476
Why did you leave me?

328
00:25:28,640 --> 00:25:30,836
Why did you go away?

329
00:25:33,040 --> 00:25:34,793
It would be like a jump
into deep water...

330
00:25:34,960 --> 00:25:38,715
...if I try to imitate him
would. But he is the role model.

331
00:25:38,880 --> 00:25:40,758
This is his scene.

332
00:25:40,960 --> 00:25:46,672
I wrote it for him.
He completely improvised.

333
00:25:47,120 --> 00:25:49,316
I didn't write it.

334
00:25:49,480 --> 00:25:51,790
I didn't ask him to.

335
00:25:51,960 --> 00:25:56,716
He should just eat
and bring it to an end.

336
00:25:57,040 --> 00:25:59,032
He just eats.

337
00:25:59,200 --> 00:26:05,037
That's why Claus Nissen is for me
an outstanding actor.

338
00:26:05,200 --> 00:26:09,558
Because he plays with the void.
He doesn't play with anything.

339
00:26:09,720 --> 00:26:11,791
He plays with fragments.

340
00:26:12,480 --> 00:26:15,951
It's just brilliant what he does.

341
00:26:17,280 --> 00:26:20,318
Walking, running, jumping, falling...

342
00:26:20,480 --> 00:26:24,713
...walk, lie down,
lie down.

343
00:26:24,880 --> 00:26:25,916
Do I have to change anything?

344
00:26:26,080 --> 00:26:28,993
Looks good.
Don't you want to fall?

345
00:26:29,160 --> 00:26:31,959
What?
- You don't want to fall like him?

346
00:26:32,120 --> 00:26:36,956
No, I can't. Down there? No.
I can't do that, damn it.

347
00:26:37,120 --> 00:26:38,554
Out of cowardice?

348
00:26:38,720 --> 00:26:42,316
I just can't. Hell no.

349
00:26:46,040 --> 00:26:48,509
I can try falling here.

350
00:26:51,120 --> 00:26:52,998
And so he falls.

351
00:26:55,040 --> 00:26:58,033
This is terrible, totally terrible.

352
00:27:09,520 --> 00:27:12,991
Rises again,
rises again...

353
00:27:13,520 --> 00:27:15,239
...rises.

354
00:27:17,720 --> 00:27:22,397
That definitely comes at the end.
- We should do that.

355
00:27:28,360 --> 00:27:29,635
How does he fall?

356
00:27:30,280 --> 00:27:32,192
So he falls.

357
00:27:34,560 --> 00:27:37,598
Are you taking some Valium tomorrow?
- Yes.

358
00:27:39,280 --> 00:27:40,680
I'll do it.

359
00:27:42,000 --> 00:27:43,912
For safety.

360
00:27:47,080 --> 00:27:50,790
I usually don't take that...

361
00:27:50,960 --> 00:27:54,476
...but it could be...

362
00:27:54,800 --> 00:27:57,918
...be wild and nerve-wracking.

363
00:27:58,080 --> 00:28:01,915
Maybe it's good
which to have with us.

364
00:28:02,080 --> 00:28:05,517
You might need it...

365
00:28:09,520 --> 00:28:13,116
...if you're nervous
no longer has control.

366
00:28:13,280 --> 00:28:16,478
I'll wait for Dan to send for me.

367
00:28:18,200 --> 00:28:24,390
Then I go,
pull the cork out of the Chablis...

368
00:28:25,520 --> 00:28:28,240
...and put a fish on my plate.

369
00:28:28,400 --> 00:28:31,393
Maybe I'll even eat some of it.

370
00:28:31,560 --> 00:28:33,279
I'm ready for that.

371
00:28:33,440 --> 00:28:35,955
No Valium?
- No Valium.

372
00:29:16,640 --> 00:29:20,156
The transparent shielding,
that we set up...

373
00:29:20,320 --> 00:29:25,236
...was a very concrete image area...

374
00:29:25,400 --> 00:29:28,916
...a framework for reality...

375
00:29:29,080 --> 00:29:35,429
...at the same time concrete, but also
incredibly subtle and artful.

376
00:29:36,760 --> 00:29:41,277
A very elegant one
and playful answer...

377
00:29:41,440 --> 00:29:47,118
...on the whole idea of this project,
the distance that existed before...

378
00:29:47,480 --> 00:29:52,475
...include and with this
Try to minimize obstacles.

379
00:29:52,640 --> 00:29:56,554
To try the distance...

380
00:29:56,720 --> 00:29:59,235
...between perfect
and to minimize human aspects.

381
00:29:59,400 --> 00:30:05,874
The perfect person, Bombay

382
00:31:08,160 --> 00:31:11,358
I also experienced something today...

383
00:31:11,640 --> 00:31:14,678
...I hope so
I'll understand soon.

384
00:31:19,800 --> 00:31:24,829
Around my left hand
a wreath shone...

385
00:31:25,000 --> 00:31:27,560
...misty, white flames.

386
00:31:31,360 --> 00:31:34,990
I looked closely
the left side...

387
00:31:35,160 --> 00:31:38,756
...my own dark jacket.

388
00:31:41,680 --> 00:31:44,115
Right in my heart...

389
00:31:44,320 --> 00:31:48,314
...was a small, white dot.

390
00:31:50,640 --> 00:31:53,360
I don't know what that means.

391
00:31:54,880 --> 00:31:59,113
The perfect person
will now eat and drink.

392
00:32:02,760 --> 00:32:05,639
We will now see a meal.

393
00:32:12,440 --> 00:32:16,320
The wine looks elegant in the glass.

394
00:32:28,880 --> 00:32:31,600
And on the plate...

395
00:32:32,240 --> 00:32:35,153
...wonderful fish with rice...

396
00:32:35,320 --> 00:32:39,394
...onions, lemon and green sauce.

397
00:32:41,760 --> 00:32:44,673
Plus a bottle of Chablis.

398
00:33:11,080 --> 00:33:14,357
How does the perfect person eat?

399
00:33:24,160 --> 00:33:27,631
The fish looks pretty
out on the plate.

400
00:33:29,600 --> 00:33:32,798
He deserves to be on silver.

401
00:33:46,600 --> 00:33:49,399
Here you go, it's ready.

402
00:33:58,560 --> 00:34:02,554
Now this meal should be piece by piece...

403
00:34:02,920 --> 00:34:05,196
...get into your mouth.

404
00:34:10,680 --> 00:34:12,911
It tastes good...

405
00:34:13,400 --> 00:34:16,040
...and has a good consistency.

406
00:34:16,800 --> 00:34:18,280
Bon appetit.

407
00:34:19,240 --> 00:34:22,870
Why is luck so fickle?

408
00:34:23,120 --> 00:34:25,919
Why is the joy so short?

409
00:34:26,200 --> 00:34:28,795
Why did you leave me?

410
00:34:29,000 --> 00:34:31,560
Why did you go away?

411
00:34:41,800 --> 00:34:43,439
Very, very good.

412
00:35:04,760 --> 00:35:09,596
Even today I experienced something
which I hope to understand soon.

413
00:35:21,840 --> 00:35:25,993
Don't get your hopes up too high
that you will soon understand this.

414
00:35:26,160 --> 00:35:29,119
No, I think so too.

415
00:35:30,040 --> 00:35:32,919
Jürgen, I'm sorry...

416
00:35:33,160 --> 00:35:36,517
...but I have to use harsh words
drive up.

417
00:35:37,080 --> 00:35:42,280
Unfortunately. You know I think a lot
from you and do it reluctantly.

418
00:35:43,640 --> 00:35:45,950
This isn't...

419
00:35:46,120 --> 00:35:50,034
...the film I asked for.
- Damned. Tell me.

420
00:35:52,200 --> 00:35:58,071
One of the rules for the film was
that you don't see the people.

421
00:36:01,560 --> 00:36:05,952
But I interpreted that.
- Quite.

422
00:36:06,120 --> 00:36:12,037
I have to protest against this.
Unfortunately I have to send you back.

423
00:36:12,280 --> 00:36:17,309
Unfortunately I have to.
There is no other way, Jürgen.

424
00:36:18,520 --> 00:36:22,309
I can't.
- We're looking for something worse.

425
00:36:22,880 --> 00:36:28,592
The tricky thing was, she didn't
to see. I'm disappointed.

426
00:36:29,400 --> 00:36:32,677
I'm incredibly disappointed in you.

427
00:36:33,080 --> 00:36:37,233
I thought I had
accomplished a balancing act.

428
00:36:37,480 --> 00:36:40,439
I think the film is absolutely magnificent.

429
00:36:40,600 --> 00:36:44,196
But it doesn't meet the requirements.

430
00:36:44,400 --> 00:36:46,995
It's a clever game.

431
00:36:47,160 --> 00:36:51,518
I have the piece reality
shielded.

432
00:36:51,680 --> 00:36:56,709
Dan Holberg came up with the
in my opinion, brilliant idea...

433
00:36:56,880 --> 00:37:01,352
...to make the shielding transparent.
- I understand that.

434
00:37:01,760 --> 00:37:04,594
And this film probably is
better than the other...

435
00:37:04,760 --> 00:37:07,514
...but doesn't meet my specifications.

436
00:37:07,680 --> 00:37:09,751
But you definitely can
do differently.

437
00:37:09,920 --> 00:37:11,957
You always want to get better.

438
00:37:12,160 --> 00:37:14,436
And you're not allowed to do that.

439
00:37:14,720 --> 00:37:18,475
You always want to do it too well.

440
00:37:19,040 --> 00:37:23,114
This is therapy and not
a film competition with yourself.

441
00:37:23,280 --> 00:37:26,432
You made the best film.
The first one.

442
00:37:27,160 --> 00:37:31,200
There is no doubt about that.
This is the movie.

443
00:37:31,560 --> 00:37:36,954
Now we use it as
Time machine and incentive for you...

444
00:37:37,120 --> 00:37:39,760
...to look at reality.

445
00:37:39,920 --> 00:37:44,711
The last time I left here
I was shocked.

446
00:37:44,960 --> 00:37:47,316
I thought: This is impossible.

447
00:37:47,480 --> 00:37:50,439
You can commit suicide straight away.

448
00:37:50,600 --> 00:37:54,833
This is too difficult.
The desire is missing.

449
00:37:55,000 --> 00:37:59,392
Because that's what it needs.
I thought you were too harsh.

450
00:37:59,560 --> 00:38:03,076
Nevertheless, I soon had an idea.

451
00:38:03,240 --> 00:38:06,677
I asked myself:
“What terrible places do you know?”

452
00:38:07,480 --> 00:38:12,077
And the first place that came to mind
was a terrible experience...

453
00:38:12,240 --> 00:38:17,838
...in the red light district of Bombay,
that I did a few years ago...

454
00:38:18,000 --> 00:38:20,913
...saw it 6 or 7 years ago.

455
00:38:21,080 --> 00:38:23,640
It stayed with me
as a horror beyond compare.

456
00:38:23,800 --> 00:38:26,634
Something in front of
almost screaming and running away.

457
00:38:26,800 --> 00:38:30,396
I generally don't have any
Fear of prostitutes...

458
00:38:30,560 --> 00:38:33,997
...but that was a picture of hell.

459
00:38:34,240 --> 00:38:38,200
But we were shooting. I was
cold-blooded and without scruples.

460
00:38:38,360 --> 00:38:40,716
I thought: We can do that!

461
00:38:41,480 --> 00:38:45,872
But the next night,
two nights later...

462
00:38:46,040 --> 00:38:48,600
...I had one
of rare nightmares...

463
00:38:48,760 --> 00:38:52,993
...to which you can turn
remembered when waking up.

464
00:38:53,280 --> 00:38:55,397
I came up with the analytical one
Thoughts...

465
00:38:55,560 --> 00:38:59,793
... something "Faust"-like
it was a pact...

466
00:39:00,080 --> 00:39:02,959
...or something devilish,
Alchemical.

467
00:39:03,160 --> 00:39:08,076
When you push the limits...

468
00:39:08,240 --> 00:39:10,311
...you pay the price...

469
00:39:10,480 --> 00:39:13,951
...that you are right at the border...

470
00:39:14,640 --> 00:39:19,112
...where fear turns into madness
can be passed over.

471
00:39:19,280 --> 00:39:24,674
If you can't sleep anymore, it's off
Fear of falling back into the nightmare...

472
00:39:24,840 --> 00:39:26,593
...you're in shit.

473
00:39:26,760 --> 00:39:29,798
Jürgen, you are my hero.
Without doubt.

474
00:39:29,960 --> 00:39:32,953
That's the background.
- I understand that, yes.

475
00:39:33,120 --> 00:39:35,476
I would never dare to do something like that.

476
00:39:35,720 --> 00:39:39,111
Have I not exposed myself enough?
- You exposed yourself insanely.

477
00:39:39,320 --> 00:39:45,157
But you didn't follow that,
what is most important to me.

478
00:39:45,400 --> 00:39:48,632
Did I not follow the idea?
- No.

479
00:39:48,960 --> 00:39:53,352
That's a harsh statement. Can
Don't you think about it again?

480
00:39:53,520 --> 00:39:55,751
I've reconsidered.

481
00:39:55,920 --> 00:39:57,877
How long have you been thinking about it?

482
00:39:58,040 --> 00:40:01,112
Since I saw it.
I have to stick with it.

483
00:40:01,280 --> 00:40:03,749
And not just because I'm stubborn.

484
00:40:03,920 --> 00:40:06,480
Do it again.
With background.

485
00:40:06,640 --> 00:40:08,359
The same thing again?
- Same thing again.

486
00:40:08,520 --> 00:40:11,638
It would be death
to do the same thing again.

487
00:40:11,800 --> 00:40:14,315
With me, for example.

488
00:40:16,840 --> 00:40:18,991
I don't want to and can't do that.

489
00:40:19,560 --> 00:40:21,358
You're putting me in a bind.

490
00:40:21,520 --> 00:40:24,160
We are not there,
where I wanted to go.

491
00:40:24,960 --> 00:40:29,113
I am forced
to punish you.

492
00:40:30,360 --> 00:40:33,273
What form should that take?

493
00:40:35,080 --> 00:40:37,117
In what form?

494
00:40:37,320 --> 00:40:41,792
It shall be adapted to sin,
that I have committed.

495
00:40:41,960 --> 00:40:46,751
Which method should I use?

496
00:40:47,120 --> 00:40:49,316
What do you want?
- I can't say that.

497
00:40:49,480 --> 00:40:53,156
I would prefer
if you decide that.

498
00:40:53,400 --> 00:40:56,757
Then make a film
without any rules from me.

499
00:40:57,440 --> 00:40:59,750
This is fucking bad.

500
00:41:00,720 --> 00:41:02,757
That wouldn't be good.

501
00:41:03,680 --> 00:41:06,036
It has to be that way, Jürgen.
Unfortunately.

502
00:41:06,200 --> 00:41:08,590
To keep my authority...

503
00:41:08,760 --> 00:41:12,231
...I have to ask you
to do it again...

504
00:41:12,400 --> 00:41:16,792
...whatever you think is best.
The Perfect Man 2002.

505
00:41:16,960 --> 00:41:19,395
Just do it.

506
00:41:23,240 --> 00:41:25,277
This is diabolical.

507
00:41:27,840 --> 00:41:28,990
I have to...

508
00:41:29,160 --> 00:41:32,437
You have a completely free hand. That is
Apparently the worst for you.

509
00:41:32,600 --> 00:41:37,720
The teacher is offended.
- Yes. As a punishment, you have free rein.

510
00:41:37,880 --> 00:41:39,951
The worst thing for you.

511
00:41:40,120 --> 00:41:44,353
I don't like that.
I'd rather stick to something.

512
00:41:44,640 --> 00:41:47,474
Either you go to Bombay...

513
00:41:47,640 --> 00:41:51,953
...and you're shooting in front of a white wall
or you are free. That's the way it is.

514
00:41:52,120 --> 00:41:53,952
I don't know
what should I say about that?

515
00:41:54,120 --> 00:41:56,077
That it's below the belt line.

516
00:41:56,240 --> 00:41:59,199
Complete freedom or
back to Bombay.

517
00:41:59,720 --> 00:42:02,189
That's it too.

518
00:42:02,680 --> 00:42:06,356
That's how it is and that's how it has to be.
- That's bullshit.

519
00:42:06,600 --> 00:42:09,559
All I can say is: toi, toi, toi!

520
00:42:15,280 --> 00:42:19,035
Listen to the sound of man,
who takes care of himself.

521
00:42:19,640 --> 00:42:22,838
Hear the perfect person live...

522
00:42:23,320 --> 00:42:25,312
...hear this sound.

523
00:42:26,240 --> 00:42:28,709
What is this person thinking about?

524
00:42:35,680 --> 00:42:37,194
Where is it?

525
00:42:42,880 --> 00:42:45,440
I'll call Marianne.

526
00:42:52,920 --> 00:42:57,631
Hello, Marianne. I'm trying
to find out where we need to go.

527
00:43:09,800 --> 00:43:11,120
Oh, here.

528
00:43:11,280 --> 00:43:12,794
There's the 60th.

529
00:43:15,880 --> 00:43:17,030
We have to move on.

530
00:43:17,200 --> 00:43:19,078
It's down there.

531
00:43:29,680 --> 00:43:32,559
Excuse me, where does it go down?

532
00:43:33,000 --> 00:43:36,072
How do you get to the lower floor?

533
00:43:44,120 --> 00:43:46,680
It has to be here somewhere.

534
00:44:02,720 --> 00:44:04,996
Good morning

535
00:44:11,840 --> 00:44:15,038
What does the perfect person feel like?

536
00:44:16,320 --> 00:44:18,277
How is the skin?

537
00:44:18,440 --> 00:44:21,319
Is it smooth?
Is she warm?

538
00:44:21,800 --> 00:44:24,793
Is it soft?
Is it dry?

539
00:44:25,320 --> 00:44:27,357
Is it well maintained?

540
00:44:27,560 --> 00:44:29,631
How is the skin on your chin?

541
00:44:31,520 --> 00:44:33,591
How are her legs?

542
00:44:33,760 --> 00:44:36,798
In your arms?
On the neck?

543
00:45:00,320 --> 00:45:05,395
We are ready for the next recording.

544
00:45:06,320 --> 00:45:09,518
A smoother recording.
handheld camera.

545
00:45:10,160 --> 00:45:11,719
Elevator.

546
00:45:11,880 --> 00:45:15,715
In the elevator down with Dan and Ton.

547
00:45:16,120 --> 00:45:18,476
Get out of the elevator at the bottom.

548
00:45:18,640 --> 00:45:24,989
We rehearse. Then you go to reception
and ask for news.

549
00:45:25,320 --> 00:45:28,438
I am happy.
He looks great...

550
00:45:31,680 --> 00:45:34,798
...has a fresh attitude
to work.

551
00:45:34,960 --> 00:45:37,953
He is very...

552
00:45:38,200 --> 00:45:43,275
He went through something as a human being,
he has life experience...

553
00:45:43,520 --> 00:45:45,876
...has lived.
A fantastic story.

554
00:45:46,040 --> 00:45:49,716
He played the male lead
in "La Collectionneuse"...

555
00:45:49,880 --> 00:45:53,157
...Eric Rohmer's most important, first film.

556
00:45:54,480 --> 00:45:57,234
In Danish he is called "Nymfomaniacs".

557
00:45:57,600 --> 00:46:00,752
They can be moved randomly.

558
00:46:00,920 --> 00:46:03,389
Arranged differently.

559
00:46:05,760 --> 00:46:08,116
Magic steels, right?

560
00:46:09,000 --> 00:46:10,912
So, Adam...

561
00:46:11,080 --> 00:46:16,758
I imagine a kind
Ghost ballet with the chairs.

562
00:46:17,440 --> 00:46:22,071
We'll start with a lineup...

563
00:46:22,320 --> 00:46:25,791
...then we'll go there and
move them.

564
00:46:25,960 --> 00:46:27,314
Quite by chance...

565
00:46:27,480 --> 00:46:32,430
...like it's new to us
and seems interesting.

566
00:46:32,800 --> 00:46:35,440
Probably best facing forward.

567
00:46:35,600 --> 00:46:39,992
But just like that,
as you like it.

568
00:46:41,280 --> 00:46:45,069
"Someone moved them in the dark".

569
00:46:46,000 --> 00:46:48,640
A mystical hand.

570
00:46:49,360 --> 00:46:53,912
That's the idea we come from
from the original scene.

571
00:46:54,520 --> 00:46:57,354
At the end he sits in one of the chairs.

572
00:47:00,000 --> 00:47:02,196
Look, this is what an ear looks like.

573
00:47:03,120 --> 00:47:04,315
And here are knees.

574
00:47:05,440 --> 00:47:07,193
And here a foot.

575
00:47:07,960 --> 00:47:09,189
Another ear.

576
00:47:12,800 --> 00:47:14,519
Here is an eye.

577
00:47:14,680 --> 00:47:16,637
Look at this human eye.

578
00:47:20,640 --> 00:47:22,040
And here comes a mouth.

579
00:47:23,280 --> 00:47:24,680
A mouth.

580
00:47:25,200 --> 00:47:26,429
And another mouth.

581
00:49:06,320 --> 00:49:11,111
"Repeat several times.
Woman on chair in a room.

582
00:49:11,640 --> 00:49:14,997
She sits there and does nothing.

583
00:49:15,160 --> 00:49:17,994
She stands up,
disappears from the picture.

584
00:49:18,160 --> 00:49:20,311
And that several times."
We shot that.

585
00:49:20,520 --> 00:49:24,514
"Strange cars come to you
Group of houses...

586
00:49:24,680 --> 00:49:28,037
...a forest, a field, a beach."

587
00:49:29,680 --> 00:49:31,876
We didn't do that.

588
00:49:33,040 --> 00:49:34,315
Not done.

589
00:49:34,480 --> 00:49:37,712
"A lighted house in the darkness.

590
00:49:37,880 --> 00:49:40,634
A murmur in the darkness.

591
00:49:40,800 --> 00:49:42,519
Piano music."

592
00:49:42,680 --> 00:49:44,717
We bring that in.

593
00:49:46,160 --> 00:49:48,152
But this...

594
00:49:49,360 --> 00:49:54,037
"In the back seat
a woman lets herself be undressed."

595
00:49:55,440 --> 00:49:57,238
We did that.

596
00:49:57,680 --> 00:50:01,356
It is very much a dialogue.

597
00:50:01,520 --> 00:50:05,480
The ball goes back and forth over the net.

598
00:50:05,640 --> 00:50:08,712
He serves hard.
We counteract hard.

599
00:50:08,880 --> 00:50:10,439
That's how it is.

600
00:50:11,120 --> 00:50:13,476
He serves hard again.

601
00:50:13,640 --> 00:50:18,396
Deadly. And you really have to
give everything...

602
00:50:18,560 --> 00:50:22,190
...to hit the ball back again.

603
00:50:25,160 --> 00:50:28,312
So you are there,
to show me something.

604
00:50:30,040 --> 00:50:33,397
The third obstacle.
- Really?

605
00:50:34,600 --> 00:50:37,991
I'm ready when you're ready.

606
00:50:38,680 --> 00:50:39,875
Let's go.

607
00:50:42,560 --> 00:50:49,399
Even today I experienced something
which I hope to understand soon.

608
00:50:54,880 --> 00:51:00,000
The perfect person,
Brussels.

609
00:51:29,080 --> 00:51:30,594
Here is the man.

610
00:51:31,440 --> 00:51:33,033
Here he is.

611
00:51:33,960 --> 00:51:35,599
What does he want?

612
00:51:50,800 --> 00:51:52,678
Here is the woman.

613
00:51:54,000 --> 00:51:55,878
Here she is.

614
00:51:57,320 --> 00:51:59,198
What does she want?

615
00:52:00,880 --> 00:52:02,872
What is she doing?

616
00:52:03,600 --> 00:52:05,478
Who is she?

617
00:52:11,040 --> 00:52:14,078
Here is a man.
We don't know him.

618
00:52:15,760 --> 00:52:18,320
I don't know what to say about him.

619
00:52:20,280 --> 00:52:23,079
We like that he is special.

620
00:52:24,840 --> 00:52:26,354
Nonsensical.

621
00:52:28,160 --> 00:52:31,756
A distant look.
The loss of the soul.

622
00:52:32,720 --> 00:52:34,074
The distant look.

623
00:52:34,240 --> 00:52:36,755
Good afternoon sir, how are you?

624
00:52:37,560 --> 00:52:41,315
A message for 411?
- No, not at the moment.

625
00:52:53,280 --> 00:52:56,318
I would like to know a little more about him.

626
00:52:57,640 --> 00:53:00,235
I can see he's here.

627
00:53:00,480 --> 00:53:02,472
And that he works.

628
00:53:03,160 --> 00:53:06,232
I saw him smoking a cigarette.

629
00:53:07,360 --> 00:53:09,829
I didn't see him write.

630
00:53:10,080 --> 00:53:12,515
Can he describe death well?

631
00:53:14,440 --> 00:53:16,750
Is he thinking about fucking?

632
00:53:23,120 --> 00:53:25,954
He is alone and getting ready.

633
00:53:31,400 --> 00:53:35,155
He goes away and takes care of himself
about the matter.

634
00:54:07,320 --> 00:54:09,676
He is the perfect man.

635
00:54:18,840 --> 00:54:21,594
Here is the perfect woman.

636
00:54:23,880 --> 00:54:25,712
I am a woman.

637
00:54:25,880 --> 00:54:30,159
One of the best,
one of the richest in love...

638
00:54:30,600 --> 00:54:32,796
...one of the most experienced.

639
00:54:33,800 --> 00:54:38,033
I, who am always faithful,
that I am always lovable,

640
00:54:38,240 --> 00:54:43,190
that I am always sensitive,
that I am very much in love,

641
00:54:43,720 --> 00:54:46,394
that I am very elegant,

642
00:54:46,560 --> 00:54:49,394
I am one of the most beautiful women,

643
00:54:49,920 --> 00:54:52,560
I feel a lot of affection for others,

644
00:54:52,720 --> 00:54:55,758
I have many emotions,

645
00:54:55,920 --> 00:54:58,958
I am a woman of strong will.

646
00:55:34,600 --> 00:55:37,320
O.K., we can start here.

647
00:55:56,320 --> 00:56:00,872
The three films you made
have left no trace on you.

648
00:56:02,160 --> 00:56:05,870
They may have hurt,
but leave no trace.

649
00:56:06,280 --> 00:56:11,799
I want to find out with you
what leaves a mark on you.

650
00:56:12,520 --> 00:56:14,432
Of course only if you want.

651
00:56:14,600 --> 00:56:18,310
I see it as collaboration
of actors.

652
00:56:18,720 --> 00:56:21,633
It's like...
- You want to challenge me.

653
00:56:21,960 --> 00:56:26,273
The best you can get from one
actors can get

654
00:56:26,440 --> 00:56:28,636
is that he does shit.

655
00:56:28,960 --> 00:56:31,520
I want from
the same gift to you...

656
00:56:31,680 --> 00:56:34,036
...like my actors
with a scene...

657
00:56:34,200 --> 00:56:37,989
...which is completely unsatisfactory for them,
But it's good for me...

658
00:56:38,160 --> 00:56:40,914
...because they are through
the machine came...

659
00:56:41,080 --> 00:56:43,276
...those of the actors
is in the situation.

660
00:56:43,440 --> 00:56:45,636
As if you were
chop cabbage in the meat grinder,

661
00:56:46,640 --> 00:56:51,874
after having vanilla biscuits
has made.

662
00:56:53,560 --> 00:56:55,995
This was done before.
Pure cabbage.

663
00:56:56,160 --> 00:56:57,514
For cleaning.

664
00:56:57,680 --> 00:57:01,435
Then crumbs came out,
that nobody liked.

665
00:57:01,720 --> 00:57:06,192
As a kind of sacrifice for this film...

666
00:57:06,800 --> 00:57:10,510
...perhaps we should do this
fidgeting feeling of a turtle...

667
00:57:10,680 --> 00:57:12,956
...feel on your back.

668
00:57:13,880 --> 00:57:17,032
I write down: "Turtle."

669
00:57:17,200 --> 00:57:22,719
The problem is that you are so smart and
you can be inspired by my ideas.

670
00:57:22,880 --> 00:57:25,600
Yes, that's right.
I can't help it.

671
00:57:25,760 --> 00:57:27,991
We can't avoid that.

672
00:57:28,160 --> 00:57:32,234
But if you think about which technology
you need.

673
00:57:34,800 --> 00:57:37,315
It's desire.
- Highly.

674
00:57:37,480 --> 00:57:42,680
What I usually do is,
I look for places or isolate things...

675
00:57:42,840 --> 00:57:46,834
...which I want to look at in detail.
That is the method.

676
00:57:47,040 --> 00:57:50,112
I outline them very precisely.

677
00:57:51,160 --> 00:57:53,356
I'm waiting for the right moment.

678
00:57:53,560 --> 00:57:58,954
As you know, that's my principle
“wait and watch”.

679
00:57:59,200 --> 00:58:03,752
But I'm thinking about what I'm damning
do it again when I work.

680
00:58:03,920 --> 00:58:07,311
What it is that makes everything.

681
00:58:07,480 --> 00:58:11,679
Because sometimes you have to say:
This has become the biggest mess.

682
00:58:11,840 --> 00:58:17,837
Then you ask yourself why, but it is
something you can't control.

683
00:58:18,600 --> 00:58:20,876
Having control is uninteresting.

684
00:58:21,080 --> 00:58:23,549
I trust blindly,
that something happens...

685
00:58:23,720 --> 00:58:26,030
...that you can't control...

686
00:58:26,200 --> 00:58:31,070
...if you have a lock
or built a frame.

687
00:58:32,000 --> 00:58:34,390
I love it when it slips away from me.

688
00:58:34,680 --> 00:58:38,390
Now I'm going to ask a very, very simple one
Rules on for your film.

689
00:58:41,320 --> 00:58:44,518
And it just has to be shit.

690
00:58:47,440 --> 00:58:51,514
And it's OK if it sucks.
I'd be happy if it turned out to be shit.

691
00:58:51,680 --> 00:58:58,519
The only condition for the film is
that it should be a cartoon.

692
00:58:58,840 --> 00:59:02,959
Obstacle 4:
cartoon

693
00:59:04,240 --> 00:59:10,077
The advantage of the cartoon is that
you have to make a lot of decisions.

694
00:59:10,240 --> 00:59:12,232
aesthetically and all.

695
00:59:12,400 --> 00:59:15,154
This can turn out badly.

696
00:59:15,960 --> 00:59:18,600
I hate cartoons.
- Me too.

697
00:59:18,800 --> 00:59:21,520
I hate cartoons.
- Me too.

698
00:59:24,680 --> 00:59:28,833
I don't like the technology
to invent or learn.

699
00:59:29,000 --> 00:59:30,719
Really not.

700
00:59:31,760 --> 00:59:39,714
I won't have any time at any
spend some time on the stupid drawing table or something.

701
00:59:39,880 --> 00:59:42,759
I certainly won't do that.

702
00:59:43,280 --> 00:59:44,396
No.

703
00:59:51,960 --> 00:59:54,759
I'm doing well.
I'm sitting in the taxi.

704
00:59:56,120 --> 00:59:59,158
Pretty wild stuff.

705
00:59:59,320 --> 01:00:02,438
I'm supposed to make a cartoon.

706
01:00:04,120 --> 01:00:06,555
I'm supposed to make a cartoon.

707
01:00:11,920 --> 01:00:13,513
Far-fetched.

708
01:00:14,480 --> 01:00:18,235
Suddenly he came up with the idea.

709
01:00:18,400 --> 01:00:21,040
I said,
I hate cartoons.

710
01:00:21,200 --> 01:00:23,760
I've never liked one.

711
01:00:24,880 --> 01:00:30,512
He said he felt the same way. He can
Can't stand cartoons.

712
01:00:31,160 --> 01:00:32,560
not at all.

713
01:00:34,080 --> 01:00:39,360
I understood the logic behind it,
damn...

714
01:00:41,400 --> 01:00:43,278
...you know...

715
01:00:44,240 --> 01:00:50,157
We've talked about it. I can
not using a specific art style.

716
01:00:51,720 --> 01:00:54,440
In the style of...

717
01:00:54,960 --> 01:00:59,079
...Picasso or something
or loose lines.

718
01:00:59,240 --> 01:01:03,951
A cartoon like this
how we don't like them.

719
01:01:05,800 --> 01:01:08,554
Yes, damn it,
I'm serious.

720
01:01:22,360 --> 01:01:25,034
We don't have to film anything new.

721
01:01:25,200 --> 01:01:27,431
We should see that as an advantage.

722
01:01:27,600 --> 01:01:31,435
We don't have to film anything new.
We're using something old.

723
01:01:31,600 --> 01:01:35,913
It doesn't have to be used, right?
look recycled.

724
01:01:36,080 --> 01:01:38,914
We will actively use it.

725
01:01:39,160 --> 01:01:43,393
We will write a new text,
a new connection...

726
01:01:43,560 --> 01:01:47,873
...and hopefully him
help you gain new freshness.

727
01:01:48,040 --> 01:01:51,795
That doesn't quite correspond
Lars von Trier's wish.

728
01:01:51,960 --> 01:01:56,955
He would rather have no freshness
or inspiration or ideas...

729
01:01:57,120 --> 01:02:02,593
...or poetry, he would rather have something
Something slacker, more dim.

730
01:02:02,760 --> 01:02:04,991
It's supposed to be stupid, so to speak.

731
01:02:05,160 --> 01:02:07,277
But I can't do that.

732
01:02:07,440 --> 01:02:10,990
I refuse.
We have to make something of it.

733
01:02:11,160 --> 01:02:15,234
I think it actually is
an exciting task.

734
01:02:15,400 --> 01:02:18,598
That's how I feel at the moment.

735
01:02:18,920 --> 01:02:21,754
We're on our way to see Bob Sabiston.

736
01:02:21,920 --> 01:02:25,231
We meet him for the first time.
This will be exciting.

737
01:02:27,240 --> 01:02:32,918
I think we're all very excited
and also nervous.

738
01:02:33,280 --> 01:02:37,672
He got the scenes from Camilla,
a few days ago.

739
01:02:37,840 --> 01:02:42,357
I got them three days ago.

740
01:02:42,680 --> 01:02:44,751
You didn't see her.

741
01:02:46,080 --> 01:02:51,075
We know that we
would like suggestions from him...

742
01:02:51,240 --> 01:02:53,311
...like we watch a cartoon
based...

743
01:02:53,480 --> 01:02:56,154
...on “The Perfect Man”
can do.

744
01:02:56,560 --> 01:03:01,271
We are curious whether he has any suggestions
has or wants to show us something.

745
01:03:01,440 --> 01:03:03,113
So we're excited.

746
01:03:03,280 --> 01:03:05,397
Also looking forward to meeting him.

747
01:03:05,560 --> 01:03:11,875
We only contacted the man
because of his reputation.

748
01:03:12,320 --> 01:03:16,360
We only had written contact.

749
01:03:17,280 --> 01:03:23,197
This is the solution,
that we came up with.

750
01:03:29,760 --> 01:03:31,877
Nice to meet you.

751
01:03:32,520 --> 01:03:34,716
I was looking forward to it.

752
01:03:41,200 --> 01:03:43,351
That's his face, of course.

753
01:03:43,520 --> 01:03:45,477
We really like that.

754
01:03:45,960 --> 01:03:51,319
The advantage is that he
is actually very strong.

755
01:03:53,160 --> 01:03:58,519
It gets even stronger,
when you draw him.

756
01:03:59,320 --> 01:04:02,313
I find it very powerful.
The sparkle in his eyes.

757
01:04:02,480 --> 01:04:06,759
Difficult decision.
We also like the Francis Bacon style.

758
01:04:07,400 --> 01:04:09,312
But we really like that.

759
01:04:09,480 --> 01:04:11,312
This shouldn't go away.

760
01:04:11,480 --> 01:04:13,358
So that there.

761
01:04:13,520 --> 01:04:17,070
That might even be better.

762
01:04:18,280 --> 01:04:24,072
But if you see the sad pictures
for example compare with this one...

763
01:04:24,240 --> 01:04:27,711
...would you rather take this?
- Yes, I think so.

764
01:04:28,080 --> 01:04:30,072
But I like this.

765
01:04:30,720 --> 01:04:34,794
But wouldn't both be possible?

766
01:04:34,960 --> 01:04:38,670
This is just a little later in the scene.
- That's later.

767
01:04:39,120 --> 01:04:41,430
I like that.
It should be in the movie.

768
01:04:41,640 --> 01:04:45,270
And that is also possible.
Then we have...

769
01:04:46,280 --> 01:04:50,479
They're all good. Take that
us too. Same scene.

770
01:04:50,640 --> 01:04:54,236
That was good.
I don't know what to do.

771
01:04:55,120 --> 01:04:58,557
Here you have too
the gangsters made?

772
01:04:59,760 --> 01:05:02,070
I would like to have that too.

773
01:05:07,440 --> 01:05:08,954
That's good.

774
01:05:09,640 --> 01:05:11,711
I want that too.

775
01:05:22,960 --> 01:05:25,919
Do you think it will be a mess this time?

776
01:05:28,400 --> 01:05:30,631
No, I don't think so.

777
01:05:31,080 --> 01:05:34,232
I think we're doing something
Interesting things.

778
01:05:34,880 --> 01:05:39,750
It may be that Lars von Trier
will be very disappointed or angry.

779
01:05:39,920 --> 01:05:42,640
However.
- Yes, but...

780
01:05:43,880 --> 01:05:46,554
...even though we don't
can control...

781
01:05:46,720 --> 01:05:51,237
...and cartoons are boring
are, we strive...

782
01:05:51,480 --> 01:05:56,396
...think intensively about the matter and try
to find a solution...

783
01:05:56,560 --> 01:05:58,392
...that satisfies us.

784
01:06:02,960 --> 01:06:07,398
And that's why, unfortunately, I don't think
that it will be crap.

785
01:06:17,280 --> 01:06:20,478
Do you also have red?

786
01:06:24,880 --> 01:06:26,837
How much does it matter?

787
01:06:28,600 --> 01:06:30,592
No, I'll take two boxes.

788
01:06:31,520 --> 01:06:33,637
Give me two boxes.

789
01:06:48,160 --> 01:06:52,279
Look here. The perfect person
moves in a room.

790
01:06:52,720 --> 01:06:56,191
The perfect person
can move around a room.

791
01:06:56,640 --> 01:06:59,872
The space is limitless and illuminated.

792
01:07:00,920 --> 01:07:03,071
It's an empty room.

793
01:07:03,720 --> 01:07:05,996
There are no limits here.

794
01:07:06,360 --> 01:07:08,352
There's nothing here.

795
01:07:18,760 --> 01:07:21,912
Hello, Jürgen.
- Hello, Lars.

796
01:07:22,240 --> 01:07:28,794
I'm calling you because we're watching the movie
you should look at the one you made.

797
01:07:32,160 --> 01:07:33,640
Have you finished it?
- Yes, he's ready.

798
01:07:33,800 --> 01:07:36,793
I'm happy to show it to you.

799
01:07:36,960 --> 01:07:38,713
You sound a little too happy.

800
01:07:39,000 --> 01:07:44,678
I am very happy with it and
I'm really looking forward to your opinion.

801
01:07:44,920 --> 01:07:46,513
Shall we get started?

802
01:07:46,760 --> 01:07:49,116
Yes, I'm ready
to start it.

803
01:07:49,520 --> 01:07:51,591
I'll press play now.

804
01:07:52,120 --> 01:07:53,474
Me too.

805
01:07:59,000 --> 01:08:00,229
Unpleasure.

806
01:08:06,240 --> 01:08:08,880
Obstacle 4:
cartoon

807
01:08:09,560 --> 01:08:13,315
The fan rotates
and pushes the heavy air around.

808
01:08:14,400 --> 01:08:17,438
I write it down,
get it right.

809
01:08:19,520 --> 01:08:21,193
I am calm.

810
01:08:25,520 --> 01:08:27,193
The perfect person.

811
01:08:28,240 --> 01:08:34,714
We just say that and hope
that he can do what we say.

812
01:08:42,600 --> 01:08:45,559
Just walk a bit, say a few words.

813
01:08:46,200 --> 01:08:48,237
It's not too much.

814
01:09:12,840 --> 01:09:14,718
How do I feel?

815
01:09:16,240 --> 01:09:18,630
How do I not feel?

816
01:09:21,440 --> 01:09:25,036
Can I get better?
In dealing with life?

817
01:09:26,560 --> 01:09:29,871
I want to feel, feel.

818
01:09:30,040 --> 01:09:35,240
I want to describe, try
to put everything in its place.

819
01:09:37,320 --> 01:09:40,392
I smoke a cigarette.

820
01:09:42,880 --> 01:09:44,678
I think of you.

821
01:09:47,480 --> 01:09:49,631
I'm thinking about your knee.

822
01:09:50,600 --> 01:09:53,399
As I hold you behind the knee.

823
01:09:57,520 --> 01:09:59,557
I smoke a cigarette.

824
01:10:02,440 --> 01:10:04,272
You can say,
it is an improvement...

825
01:10:04,440 --> 01:10:07,319
...cigars and cigarettes
instead of smoking a pipe.

826
01:10:09,040 --> 01:10:12,477
The notebook is an improvement
of lifestyle.

827
01:10:18,160 --> 01:10:23,189
You should have eaten sushi in Bombay,
that would have been better.

828
01:10:29,800 --> 01:10:34,750
Are the temperature of the skin
and the texture...

829
01:10:35,280 --> 01:10:38,114
...part of something I have?

830
01:10:39,080 --> 01:10:41,151
Is that my wife?

831
01:10:42,760 --> 01:10:47,039
She whispers to me,
when she turns around half asleep...

832
01:10:47,840 --> 01:10:53,234
...when she lies down,
when she turns her head slightly?

833
01:11:31,840 --> 01:11:35,550
We want to see what he can do
and what not.

834
01:11:41,080 --> 01:11:43,037
Is he perfect enough?

835
01:11:44,040 --> 01:11:46,191
Or not perfect?

836
01:11:46,960 --> 01:11:48,758
Is he free?

837
01:11:58,440 --> 01:12:01,751
focus,
concentrate...

838
01:12:03,400 --> 01:12:06,598
...it in simple terms
Write down sentences.

839
01:12:09,240 --> 01:12:10,390
Jacket.

840
01:12:10,720 --> 01:12:12,040
Jacket.

841
01:12:31,400 --> 01:12:36,111
Even today I experienced something
which I hope to understand soon.

842
01:12:36,280 --> 01:12:41,753
There was a glow around my left hand
a wreath of misty, white flames.

843
01:12:42,720 --> 01:12:46,157
Was right in the middle of my heart
a small, white dot.

844
01:12:46,960 --> 01:12:49,156
I don't know what that means.

845
01:12:51,360 --> 01:12:52,919
We're done here.

846
01:12:53,760 --> 01:12:55,433
Me too.

847
01:12:55,800 --> 01:12:59,589
You are a player.
But we'll get back to it.

848
01:13:00,640 --> 01:13:02,518
I think it's a great film.

849
01:13:02,680 --> 01:13:06,879
Funny how he wears the jacket
attracts several times.

850
01:13:08,120 --> 01:13:10,396
Yes, that is...

851
01:13:11,520 --> 01:13:15,878
...the cartoon world
from MTV.

852
01:13:16,160 --> 01:13:21,030
But I was prepared for this situation
prepared, I have to admit.

853
01:13:21,560 --> 01:13:24,632
I feel obliged to
to finish it.

854
01:13:24,840 --> 01:13:26,718
Obstacle 5:
Lars von Trier sets the last obstacle.

855
01:13:26,880 --> 01:13:28,200
That's what I hoped.

856
01:13:28,360 --> 01:13:32,877
I am the educational driving force.

857
01:13:35,120 --> 01:13:43,074
The ultimate obstacle at the end
it will be that you don't do anything...

858
01:13:43,320 --> 01:13:46,631
...but you will be listed as a director.

859
01:13:46,920 --> 01:13:49,560
Jürgen Leth is listed as
Director listed.

860
01:13:52,400 --> 01:13:56,076
J�rgen Leth reads a text
by Lars von Trier.

861
01:13:56,320 --> 01:13:58,152
You don't have to do anything else.

862
01:13:59,280 --> 01:14:03,433
I have to admit that I am for the
Film using the material...

863
01:14:03,600 --> 01:14:08,277
...that we during the "obstacles"
have recorded.

864
01:14:08,840 --> 01:14:12,993
I hope we have something human
made in our conversations.

865
01:14:13,360 --> 01:14:14,953
That's the idea.

866
01:14:15,240 --> 01:14:17,914
I'm sure you don't mind.

867
01:14:18,200 --> 01:14:19,680
No, nothing at all.

868
01:14:20,040 --> 01:14:22,396
I think that's fantastic.

869
01:14:23,120 --> 01:14:26,192
You can now again
with a clear conscience...

870
01:14:26,400 --> 01:14:28,278
...sink into your Haiti depression.

871
01:14:29,520 --> 01:14:33,878
Please say hello to everyone. And I'm eating now
the damn caviar again.

872
01:14:40,560 --> 01:14:43,029
He was very happy with it.

873
01:14:43,480 --> 01:14:45,949
He let it pass as a cartoon.

874
01:14:47,560 --> 01:14:52,635
There was no reason, a big deal
to make from what we have done.

875
01:14:52,800 --> 01:14:58,159
That's clear. I wanted myself
don't criticize or praise.

876
01:14:58,320 --> 01:15:02,155
That would have been unnecessary.
There were no objections.

877
01:15:09,200 --> 01:15:15,800
There are a few areas in the
Lives in which I am an expert.

878
01:15:16,040 --> 01:15:18,635
One of them is Jürgen Leth.

879
01:15:19,040 --> 01:15:24,798
I know a lot more about him
than himself.

880
01:15:26,920 --> 01:15:33,474
So this whole project was kind of
“Hilf-Jürgen-Leth Project”.

881
01:15:35,800 --> 01:15:40,397
I should read a text
Lars von Trier wrote for me.

882
01:15:43,560 --> 01:15:45,756
As a fifth obstacle.

883
01:15:48,720 --> 01:15:50,598
He will instruct me.

884
01:15:50,920 --> 01:15:53,640
It's actually fiction.

885
01:15:53,800 --> 01:15:59,592
It's a letter to him from me,
which begins with the words:-

886
01:15:59,760 --> 01:16:01,513
“Dear stupid Lars”.

887
01:16:01,720 --> 01:16:06,431
This will be the “voice over”.
a few sequences...

888
01:16:06,600 --> 01:16:10,230
...who are looking for Camilla
and put together.

889
01:16:10,440 --> 01:16:13,433
He wants it all in one way
certain way...

890
01:16:13,600 --> 01:16:17,071
...and he doesn't want to see
what Camilla cuts...

891
01:16:17,240 --> 01:16:21,234
...until we meet the day after tomorrow
or whenever May 1st is.

892
01:16:22,120 --> 01:16:23,998
You little rascal you.

893
01:16:26,800 --> 01:16:29,713
You look happier and happier.

894
01:16:31,080 --> 01:16:33,231
Soon no more.

895
01:16:35,160 --> 01:16:38,949
You will force me
to read quickly.

896
01:16:39,120 --> 01:16:40,554
Oh no!

897
01:16:40,720 --> 01:16:43,474
No, it has to come from within.

898
01:16:43,680 --> 01:16:48,800
Now you're like the actors who
come and are incredibly nervous.

899
01:16:48,960 --> 01:16:51,520
Not necessary.
I take the blame.

900
01:16:51,680 --> 01:16:53,592
You're not to blame at all.

901
01:16:53,760 --> 01:16:55,592
You are like a little child.

902
01:16:55,760 --> 01:17:00,960
You don't have to do anything. I am the only one
who does something. This is what it looks like.

903
01:17:01,120 --> 01:17:02,554
Good.
- Not even practice.

904
01:17:02,960 --> 01:17:08,035
"Jürgen leaves Sartres and Hemingways
historical flapping of wings the discomfort...

905
01:17:08,280 --> 01:17:11,990
...and the damn one
Carry away uncertainty...

906
01:17:12,160 --> 01:17:15,392
...because he doesn't dare
to fly yourself.

907
01:17:16,000 --> 01:17:20,517
I saw through him."
- Emphasize “fly” instead of “self”.

908
01:17:21,200 --> 01:17:25,035
You want to avoid the text.

909
01:17:25,200 --> 01:17:30,594
You said "to fly yourself".
But he doesn't want to fly himself.

910
01:17:30,760 --> 01:17:32,399
That's what it's all about.
- Yes, sure.

911
01:17:32,560 --> 01:17:34,631
You're really squirming.

912
01:17:35,240 --> 01:17:38,472
In my own cinematic
Education was...

913
01:17:38,640 --> 01:17:43,590
...what J�rgen so beautifully rules the game
always very, very important.

914
01:17:43,840 --> 01:17:47,197
He has them in
brought in my universe.

915
01:17:48,440 --> 01:17:53,799
These rules of the game are a kind of limit
or self-discipline, if you will.

916
01:17:55,800 --> 01:18:00,795
I wanted to impose this discipline on Jürgen.

917
01:18:01,280 --> 01:18:07,629
I've told you so many times that you should
now make some crap.

918
01:18:09,400 --> 01:18:10,993
I didn't do it...

919
01:18:11,160 --> 01:18:13,595
I can only hope
that this is crap. Exciting.

920
01:18:14,000 --> 01:18:15,753
The text is strong.

921
01:18:15,920 --> 01:18:19,277
It's written. He stands.
- The text is written.

922
01:18:19,440 --> 01:18:22,592
I still have it with me
a few comments added.

923
01:18:22,760 --> 01:18:26,913
How the film is edited:
illustrative in relation to the words.

924
01:18:27,400 --> 01:18:31,838
That was very important because I
don't see in your work.

925
01:18:32,000 --> 01:18:36,233
That's one of your rules of the game.
I don't do that.

926
01:18:36,720 --> 01:18:39,679
It'll be funny, the pictures
to be used illustratively.

927
01:18:39,960 --> 01:18:42,555
Don't we just want to take a look at it?

928
01:18:43,200 --> 01:18:45,032
Obstacle 5:

929
01:18:45,200 --> 01:18:49,558
"Dear stupid Lars. You really have
thought you could hinder me, yes?

930
01:18:50,600 --> 01:18:53,240
I hope you understand it better now.

931
01:18:53,400 --> 01:18:56,154
You've had a few days now.

932
01:18:56,320 --> 01:18:59,757
The obstacles didn't follow a plan,
but you had a theory.

933
01:18:59,920 --> 01:19:04,199
I know exactly what you were thinking:
'There's Jurgen.

934
01:19:04,960 --> 01:19:09,159
What strange creature is this?
Jürgen is a poor guy.

935
01:19:09,400 --> 01:19:10,880
Like me,' you thought.

936
01:19:12,160 --> 01:19:16,074
He made the film
who was closest to you.

937
01:19:16,320 --> 01:19:18,118
You were sure of that.

938
01:19:19,320 --> 01:19:22,154
'We have to get out of the same
be family.'

939
01:19:22,760 --> 01:19:26,754
And just as you will be chastised
wanted, you chastised Jürgen.

940
01:19:27,720 --> 01:19:30,838
This was a personal attack.
Admit it.

941
01:19:32,440 --> 01:19:34,318
You thought, 'It's so easy.

942
01:19:34,480 --> 01:19:39,475
Jürgen hides his self behind his
provocative perverse perfection.

943
01:19:39,640 --> 01:19:43,475
He hides his fear
behind a personal fiction...

944
01:19:44,000 --> 01:19:47,277
...those on an infinite series
based on Armani suits...

945
01:19:47,440 --> 01:19:51,559
...who took care of him during the months
Protecting Haiti from depression.

946
01:19:52,160 --> 01:19:57,758
Jürgen leaves Sartres and Hemingways
historical flapping of wings the discomfort...

947
01:19:57,920 --> 01:20:01,118
...and the damn one
Carry away uncertainty...

948
01:20:01,280 --> 01:20:04,432
...because he doesn't dare to fly himself.

949
01:20:05,720 --> 01:20:07,598
I saw through him.

950
01:20:08,520 --> 01:20:12,355
That was arrogant, but I see
that it was well-intentioned.

951
01:20:12,520 --> 01:20:17,072
You wanted to go where the scream was,
and let him out.

952
01:20:17,240 --> 01:20:19,709
'He is the most beautiful bird',
you thought.

953
01:20:19,880 --> 01:20:21,837
'But he doesn't believe it.'

954
01:20:22,160 --> 01:20:26,154
'I'll hunt him down,
until he flies,' you thought, Lars.

955
01:20:26,400 --> 01:20:31,077
So you started conducting and
to give me strict prohibitions.

956
01:20:31,240 --> 01:20:34,517
To distract, to my tank
to penetrate.

957
01:20:35,560 --> 01:20:39,440
'We could Jürgen
distract with a film assignment.'

958
01:20:40,200 --> 01:20:44,433
This is how the perfect person makes a film.
Look at him making a movie.

959
01:20:44,800 --> 01:20:49,192
This is how he exposes himself.
'Or if I provoke him?'

960
01:20:50,120 --> 01:20:55,195
Film him with an open visor,
then we find all the gaps.

961
01:20:56,080 --> 01:21:00,040
But the clarinet is so strange
to these pictures also sounded...

962
01:21:00,200 --> 01:21:02,874
...you couldn't get through
my eyes look through.

963
01:21:03,040 --> 01:21:05,475
No matter how close you were,
you could...

964
01:21:05,640 --> 01:21:10,112
...as much as you wanted to, not
look under the skin of my hand...

965
01:21:10,280 --> 01:21:14,752
...on the nerves and the depths,
highly fragile vessels.

966
01:21:15,080 --> 01:21:17,800
Nothing was to be seen.
And nothing helped.

967
01:21:18,960 --> 01:21:22,476
I don't come from ruins
and say thank you, Lars.

968
01:21:25,360 --> 01:21:28,034
And yet!
In this second you have me.

969
01:21:28,200 --> 01:21:31,398
You force me to read your text.

970
01:21:31,560 --> 01:21:33,950
So let's get it over with.

971
01:21:35,480 --> 01:21:38,200
Dear Lars. Thanks for the obstacles.

972
01:21:38,360 --> 01:21:43,640
You showed me what I am:
a miserable human being!

973
01:21:43,800 --> 01:21:47,271
I hold the world around me
fool around...

974
01:21:47,440 --> 01:21:50,194
...because I'm not part of it
want to be of it.

975
01:21:50,760 --> 01:21:54,197
My trick is cheap
and I use it forever.

976
01:21:54,800 --> 01:21:56,473
I thought about this early on:

977
01:21:56,640 --> 01:21:58,040
If I just tell you
what I see

978
01:21:58,200 --> 01:22:00,317
nothing else,
like a prisoner of war...

979
01:22:00,480 --> 01:22:04,440
...the name in the interrogation
and number repeated.

980
01:22:04,760 --> 01:22:06,831
Feelings are too dangerous for me.

981
01:22:07,000 --> 01:22:09,993
They would become the world
and take me over.

982
01:22:10,160 --> 01:22:14,871
I call it art. But I'm sure
that I can't do anything.

983
01:22:15,120 --> 01:22:18,716
I'll do it all,
to endure myself.

984
01:22:18,880 --> 01:22:24,399
My films are a bluff, a hiding place,
Lars. Thanks for the nice chastisement.

985
01:22:26,240 --> 01:22:29,074
Was it good to hear that?
Does it change anything?

986
01:22:29,240 --> 01:22:31,835
Maybe you lay someone
words in your mouth,

987
01:22:32,000 --> 01:22:34,595
so that you don't have to say them yourself.

988
01:22:36,040 --> 01:22:39,272
No, it doesn't change anything.
You know that.

989
01:22:39,440 --> 01:22:42,114
Your theory held
not true, Lars.

990
01:22:42,520 --> 01:22:45,433
Your educational mission failed.

991
01:22:47,200 --> 01:22:50,671
With every obstacle
my hands shook less.

992
01:22:50,840 --> 01:22:52,877
I became aware of my business
always safer...

993
01:22:53,040 --> 01:22:57,398
...and moved more and more
People gone in my first film...

994
01:22:58,320 --> 01:23:00,551
...and everyone else, except you.

995
01:23:01,040 --> 01:23:05,398
You said I dare not go my way
to find the...

996
01:23:05,560 --> 01:23:08,519
...which I was so dishonest
and skillfully hide...

997
01:23:08,680 --> 01:23:11,149
...and what do you think?
after is so valuable.

998
01:23:11,320 --> 01:23:13,118
But it's no use.

999
01:23:13,920 --> 01:23:18,472
You were the dishonest one, Lars,
because you saw what you wanted.

1000
01:23:18,720 --> 01:23:22,430
Your skepticism towards yourself
had to apply to me too.

1001
01:23:22,600 --> 01:23:26,276
You wanted to expose me,
but you exposed yourself.

1002
01:23:26,440 --> 01:23:30,912
You wanted to make me human,
but can't you see that's me?

1003
01:23:33,080 --> 01:23:37,836
You made me play along,
But you put me on the defensive.

1004
01:23:38,000 --> 01:23:42,233
We know that actually the
Attacker exposes himself.

1005
01:23:42,560 --> 01:23:44,756
You failed.

1006
01:23:45,000 --> 01:23:48,914
And I hindered you, as hard as you were
you also wish the opposite.

1007
01:23:49,080 --> 01:23:50,560
And you fell flat.

1008
01:23:51,680 --> 01:23:57,358
How does the perfect person fall?
This is how the perfect person falls."
