1
00:00:21,910 --> 00:00:23,536
Hello?
2
00:00:24,374 --> 00:00:28,400
Ah, this evening...
I'd forgotten.
3
00:00:41,815 --> 00:00:44,684
Hello? The usual people...
4
00:00:44,824 --> 00:00:48,020
Piermaria isn't here...
Are you coming?
5
00:00:48,152 --> 00:00:52,178
I have to call Piermaria
in Milan, he left for real.
6
00:00:52,601 --> 00:00:57,358
Sure I told her,
don't be a pain. Bye
7
00:00:58,489 --> 00:00:59,983
Hi.
8
00:01:00,153 --> 00:01:02,640
No, Piero, don't call him.
9
00:01:02,777 --> 00:01:05,297
The porters are here with the boxes.
10
00:01:06,584 --> 00:01:08,952
It's an invasion!
Good morning.
11
00:01:09,082 --> 00:01:11,318
Take it into the kitchen.
12
00:01:12,217 --> 00:01:14,519
Hi... Renato!
13
00:01:15,225 --> 00:01:17,266
Hi, Monica.
14
00:01:17,401 --> 00:01:19,344
I'm going for a bath.
15
00:01:19,513 --> 00:01:21,489
How did it go?
16
00:01:22,010 --> 00:01:25,359
He went to the rector,
the students had gone.
17
00:01:25,498 --> 00:01:27,287
Hi Dublino. Hi Mariella.
18
00:01:27,419 --> 00:01:32,056
- Only five liters of sangria?
- I ordered 10.
19
00:01:32,187 --> 00:01:35,351
- The stools are missing!
- The square ones?
20
00:01:35,482 --> 00:01:37,458
Huh... stools.
21
00:01:39,003 --> 00:01:42,101
Hi...
You didn't come today...
22
00:01:45,275 --> 00:01:46,901
Hi.
23
00:01:49,915 --> 00:01:53,527
- It's how my father described it.
- And immortalized it in his book.
24
00:01:53,659 --> 00:01:56,311
- Have you met Dyana Stein?
- Her father.
25
00:02:05,469 --> 00:02:10,172
OPEN LETTER
TO AN EVENING NEWSPAPER
26
00:04:05,636 --> 00:04:07,840
The subject of the film is a hypothesis
27
00:04:07,972 --> 00:04:11,104
any reference to facts and people
is coincidental.
28
00:04:27,205 --> 00:04:30,141
"The Communists never said
29
00:04:30,278 --> 00:04:36,029
that the revolution
was merely a question of will,
30
00:04:36,166 --> 00:04:42,461
a question of will is the transformation
of a Party..."Antonio Gramsci 1921
31
00:04:42,950 --> 00:04:45,820
Let's run through
the compositions again.
32
00:04:46,407 --> 00:04:47,902
Here.
33
00:04:48,423 --> 00:04:52,701
Just run the tape back.
Right, let's make it a game.
34
00:04:52,839 --> 00:04:54,748
Nino's here!
35
00:04:56,423 --> 00:04:57,983
Is that Piermaria?
36
00:04:58,120 --> 00:05:01,764
Why so late? I only forgive you because
you married that angel Lorenza.
37
00:05:01,896 --> 00:05:04,765
Sorry everyone.
Hi, Lorenza.
38
00:05:05,352 --> 00:05:10,535
What a day! 60 angry professors
and 1,000 hysterical students.
39
00:05:10,663 --> 00:05:14,493
- Sheer chaos!
- Because you haven't read this...
40
00:05:14,633 --> 00:05:16,966
30 formulas and you know it all.
41
00:05:17,096 --> 00:05:21,090
Above all you know about who wrote it,
the squalor of pyschoanalytic therapy
42
00:05:21,224 --> 00:05:24,999
the psycho-critical failure
of half a man.
43
00:05:25,129 --> 00:05:28,064
- You're a total idiot.
- Calm down!
44
00:05:28,200 --> 00:05:31,016
- It's over.
- Not the evening!
45
00:05:31,145 --> 00:05:35,423
The house is open to everyone,
friends and enemies.
46
00:05:35,562 --> 00:05:39,840
We'll stop playing games and apologize
for our frivolity and psychopathology.
47
00:05:39,977 --> 00:05:45,510
We'll stop the recording and, if you
agree, we'll burn the tape too!
48
00:05:46,378 --> 00:05:49,695
If anyone loves arguing
it's you.
49
00:05:50,219 --> 00:05:52,902
It's simply idiotic.
50
00:05:53,035 --> 00:05:56,516
Leave the polemic over social games
to the mirror moralists...
51
00:05:56,650 --> 00:06:00,425
...or the radical-magazine people.
- That was more serious stuff.
52
00:06:00,651 --> 00:06:02,952
Vanni, it was just a joke.
53
00:06:03,083 --> 00:06:07,623
If we keep joking like that
we'll end up on the same level...
54
00:06:07,757 --> 00:06:10,178
- It was an accident.
- No!
55
00:06:10,636 --> 00:06:16,899
Piero knows Freud well enough to know
there are no accidental associations.
56
00:06:17,389 --> 00:06:21,349
It's an accident we're all here,
with or without Freud.
57
00:06:21,485 --> 00:06:25,315
If you want the horror of black
anarchist flags seen as Fascist emblems
58
00:06:25,452 --> 00:06:27,842
just read "Rinascita".
59
00:06:27,981 --> 00:06:32,585
- You find it so clear.
- Yet still torment yourself.
60
00:06:32,941 --> 00:06:36,619
Overwhelmed by doubt,
destroyed by ideological drama
61
00:06:36,749 --> 00:06:40,711
lacerated by inner dissent, to be
or not to be, that is the question...
62
00:06:40,973 --> 00:06:45,349
Is it more noble to earn millions
managing a cement company
63
00:06:45,486 --> 00:06:47,876
or throw bombs in Boston commons!?
64
00:06:48,014 --> 00:06:53,001
Of course it's impossible to see
clearly, thinking clouds the issue.
65
00:06:53,135 --> 00:06:57,838
But in doubt, one always chooses
the first solution, the easiest one.
66
00:06:57,967 --> 00:07:02,375
- I'm not arguing at that level.
- He entertains us and you...
67
00:07:02,607 --> 00:07:06,731
Shut up, Renato,
you're just spouting banalities.
68
00:07:06,863 --> 00:07:10,606
Let's tell it straight,
Vanni won't argue at this level.
69
00:07:10,736 --> 00:07:13,637
You write a film on a level
with nothing to argue about.
70
00:07:13,776 --> 00:07:16,165
Sarchielli and Dublino
are indisputable
71
00:07:16,304 --> 00:07:20,133
because they chose metaphysical doubt
with operative paralysis.
72
00:07:20,304 --> 00:07:24,843
Which leaves Faggioni and a social game
to argue about and judge.
73
00:07:24,976 --> 00:07:28,773
Poor victim! Let it go
or you'll have us all in tears.
74
00:07:28,912 --> 00:07:33,582
Come, I'll show you the gorgeous
clothes I got for 3,000 lira.
75
00:07:33,968 --> 00:07:36,107
- Lorenza, coming?
- No.
76
00:07:39,090 --> 00:07:43,400
Piero, you're right, but there's
a way in which you enjoy...
77
00:07:43,858 --> 00:07:48,048
or rather... occupy,
as they say now
78
00:07:48,178 --> 00:07:52,073
the neutral oasis that starts with
the Soviet sputnik and ends in...
79
00:07:52,210 --> 00:07:55,112
the use of
industrial design, Dosi
80
00:07:55,251 --> 00:08:00,269
where your preformed cement structures
have enjoyed great influence.
81
00:08:00,403 --> 00:08:05,192
You're right, in fact we shouldn't
impose things in moral terms.
82
00:08:06,355 --> 00:08:09,289
But we have to be aware
of a situation...
83
00:08:09,428 --> 00:08:11,369
of shit.
84
00:08:12,691 --> 00:08:19,283
Like you say, I can occupy
this neutral oasis more than another.
85
00:08:19,411 --> 00:08:21,998
Nino less so, others not all...
86
00:08:22,132 --> 00:08:24,685
but those are quantitative differences.
87
00:08:24,916 --> 00:08:28,461
The truth is we're all in the shit,
the rest is irrelevent.
88
00:08:28,596 --> 00:08:31,084
Vanni, it's the paper
"Paese Sera" on the phone.
89
00:08:31,220 --> 00:08:33,970
- What do they want?
- The neutral oasis, no?
90
00:08:34,101 --> 00:08:37,003
Getting criticized
makes me need to pee.
91
00:08:38,261 --> 00:08:41,196
- They're all members.
- It's really weird.
92
00:08:42,133 --> 00:08:44,817
Don't imagine that Communists
don't take what money
93
00:08:44,950 --> 00:08:49,839
they manage to get from the bosses
and live like Saint Francis.
94
00:08:49,973 --> 00:08:54,284
I'm well aware of the problems
of Communists in capitalist society
95
00:08:54,422 --> 00:08:58,612
but Piero says that architect owns
factories, has workers...
96
00:08:58,743 --> 00:09:00,685
It's different, right?
97
00:09:00,823 --> 00:09:04,653
Architect Vanni Dosi got a gold medal
in the Resistance
98
00:09:04,791 --> 00:09:07,180
was a famous partisan leader.
99
00:09:07,319 --> 00:09:11,597
He runs his factories with the workers
and shares profits with them.
100
00:09:12,407 --> 00:09:13,902
Lorenza...
101
00:09:14,039 --> 00:09:17,422
I think he's right
and it's his house.
102
00:09:17,560 --> 00:09:19,665
Are you serious or joking?
103
00:09:19,800 --> 00:09:23,826
Why are they all so critical, first
Dublino, then Vanni, then Sarchielli!
104
00:09:23,961 --> 00:09:28,597
Lorenza... you're young,
it always ends like this.
105
00:09:28,824 --> 00:09:31,726
I don't believe it!
Get this guys.
106
00:09:31,864 --> 00:09:34,767
"Paese Sera" wants
our opinion on Vietnam.
107
00:09:34,904 --> 00:09:39,727
We're outraged at the dirty guerrilla
war lead by a Bolshevik minority.
108
00:09:39,865 --> 00:09:43,182
We stand alongside the glorious
American army
109
00:09:43,321 --> 00:09:47,150
fighting for the noble aim of
preserving liberty. Perfect, no?
110
00:09:47,354 --> 00:09:51,249
- They might publish it...
- With a critical comment by Berenice!
111
00:09:51,385 --> 00:09:55,510
Next to ads for the new
Russian-style Fiat 500!
112
00:09:55,643 --> 00:09:57,300
In "Paese Sera"?
113
00:09:57,755 --> 00:10:03,090
Fiat is Italy's most capitalist
company, a class enemy...
114
00:10:03,227 --> 00:10:05,496
You're a believer!
115
00:10:06,235 --> 00:10:08,177
Did you hear that?
116
00:10:11,099 --> 00:10:13,620
- What's your name?
- Dyana.
117
00:10:14,555 --> 00:10:19,574
The fact is that in our Party,
the concept of class, classism...
118
00:10:19,708 --> 00:10:25,010
You're wrong, that's not the point,
classism was never abandoned.
119
00:10:27,068 --> 00:10:32,186
Right, so you solve everything with:
"That's not the point"
120
00:10:32,316 --> 00:10:36,440
even our famous in-Party case
of comrades De Marchi and Dublino
121
00:10:36,573 --> 00:10:38,994
is an illustrious example.
122
00:10:39,132 --> 00:10:43,835
How long have we been living
on declarations by men of culture?
123
00:10:43,964 --> 00:10:46,867
22 years... since 1947.
124
00:10:47,838 --> 00:10:51,700
On the expulsion of the Communist Party
from government, Carlo Levi declared...
125
00:10:51,837 --> 00:10:54,904
- Remember? We went together.
- Yes, to Palazzo Altieri.
126
00:10:55,038 --> 00:10:59,675
Cut the flashbacks, we have to reply
and shame them immediately.
127
00:10:59,807 --> 00:11:04,891
They might not publish the statement,
but we'll sure shake Taluzzi.
128
00:11:05,023 --> 00:11:08,340
No, we'll send a mail-bomb,
I bought it in London.
129
00:11:08,478 --> 00:11:12,472
Why not save your hooliganism
for your next novel?
130
00:11:12,607 --> 00:11:14,995
No, Laura... I'm sorry.
131
00:11:16,223 --> 00:11:21,625
Even knowing it won't be published,
precisely because it never will be
132
00:11:21,759 --> 00:11:27,160
our reply has to express
exactly what we feel.
133
00:11:27,296 --> 00:11:29,752
It must be serious and well argued...
134
00:11:30,272 --> 00:11:36,252
and say sincerely what we believe...
what's inside us.
135
00:11:36,896 --> 00:11:39,766
We've made declarations for 21 years.
136
00:11:40,064 --> 00:11:43,643
On the Communist Party expulsion
from government
137
00:11:43,777 --> 00:11:46,625
the attack on Togliatti,
the Korean war
138
00:11:46,753 --> 00:11:50,976
the Chinese revolution, Stalin's death,
the Hungarian counter-revolution
139
00:11:51,106 --> 00:11:54,936
the Cuban revolution, the war in the
Congo, the uprising in Angola
140
00:11:55,073 --> 00:11:57,693
the Indochinese repression...
141
00:11:57,727 --> 00:12:00,313
Endless empty declarations.
142
00:12:02,146 --> 00:12:06,848
"Aware of the huge historic importance
of what is happening in the world
143
00:12:06,978 --> 00:12:10,775
we ask your newspaper
to support
144
00:12:10,915 --> 00:12:14,264
not a campaign of declarations
by men of culture
145
00:12:14,403 --> 00:12:17,819
but an initiative for their active
participation in the war
146
00:12:17,955 --> 00:12:20,889
and the training of a group
who declare nothing
147
00:12:21,027 --> 00:12:24,857
but shoot, kill and die
alongside the Vietnamese people.
148
00:12:24,995 --> 00:12:27,778
Only in this way can
a paper of the Left
149
00:12:27,907 --> 00:12:31,737
help itself and men of culture
rediscover the values
150
00:12:31,876 --> 00:12:34,625
for which it and we exist."
151
00:12:41,252 --> 00:12:44,002
It's a bit rhetorical
152
00:12:44,133 --> 00:12:48,289
but given it won't be published,
it'll do for Taluzzi.
153
00:12:48,421 --> 00:12:50,810
Once again it's 5am.
154
00:12:51,748 --> 00:12:54,204
- Bye.
- Bye everyone.
155
00:12:54,822 --> 00:12:57,188
- Bye everyone.
- Bye.
156
00:12:57,829 --> 00:13:00,251
- Bye.
- Thanks for everything.
157
00:13:02,086 --> 00:13:04,868
- Bye, guys.
- Bye.
158
00:13:12,166 --> 00:13:14,337
Bye Vanni, bye Mariella.
159
00:13:32,775 --> 00:13:36,124
Ah, flowers...
they're such an effort!
160
00:13:36,648 --> 00:13:39,463
The courier's due tomorrow 8am.
161
00:13:39,592 --> 00:13:43,554
- Is that in time for printing?
- Yes, yes.
162
00:13:43,977 --> 00:13:47,325
Remember Beverly's sculpture show
opens Friday.
163
00:13:47,464 --> 00:13:50,848
We have to go,
Piermaria will be there too.
164
00:13:51,465 --> 00:13:57,062
I have to find a way
to meet him by chance.
165
00:13:57,193 --> 00:13:59,080
Outside work.
166
00:13:59,785 --> 00:14:02,916
Now for the calls wanting comment.
167
00:14:05,065 --> 00:14:07,367
Graziella?
Yes, thanks.
168
00:14:07,690 --> 00:14:10,472
Piero?
Sorry, were you asleep?
169
00:14:12,586 --> 00:14:16,896
It's about that tele-recorder
with the tape.
170
00:14:19,434 --> 00:14:22,751
Where did you buy it?
One moment, here's Karen.
171
00:14:24,043 --> 00:14:26,050
She'd like a word.
172
00:14:26,379 --> 00:14:29,544
Sterling called this morning.
173
00:14:29,674 --> 00:14:33,221
- Did you say I'm not going to New York?
- No.
174
00:14:33,355 --> 00:14:36,105
Why aren't you?
He's your patron, you have a show...
175
00:14:36,236 --> 00:14:40,294
I don't know,
I'm just not going.
176
00:14:40,716 --> 00:14:45,451
I'd love to see you,
but I don't know at what time...
177
00:14:47,276 --> 00:14:51,467
We could go...
Yes, ok.
178
00:14:52,460 --> 00:14:57,959
No, he's in the bath,
otherwise I wouldn't talk like this.
179
00:15:01,805 --> 00:15:03,944
Holy shit!
180
00:15:05,069 --> 00:15:09,193
I can't stand it,
this house is a mess.
181
00:15:09,326 --> 00:15:13,548
I pay 120,000 lira a month, plus
bills and look at this mess!
182
00:15:13,678 --> 00:15:18,282
The maid will do it, we pay her
60,000 lira a month for doing nothing.
183
00:15:18,414 --> 00:15:21,349
Will you ever learn how to live?
184
00:15:21,486 --> 00:15:24,356
What's wrong?
What have I done?
185
00:15:24,495 --> 00:15:27,812
Maybe you need to go
and have that talk.
186
00:15:27,950 --> 00:15:31,747
What talk?
I don't talk because...
187
00:15:32,335 --> 00:15:35,651
Poor girl.
What a horrible husband.
188
00:15:35,792 --> 00:15:40,134
Someone might actually believe you!
You talk and how!
189
00:15:40,527 --> 00:15:45,099
You talk like the whore
you really are!
190
00:15:45,232 --> 00:15:49,575
- At least I've got company.
- Don't give me that, or else...
191
00:15:50,288 --> 00:15:54,117
- Tell him I'll break the contract.
- God, you behave as if...
192
00:15:54,577 --> 00:15:57,610
he did wrong to publish
your first book.
193
00:15:57,744 --> 00:16:01,574
Your father did it for the same reason
that I go to bed with you.
194
00:16:01,713 --> 00:16:04,080
Ok, but are you coming today?
195
00:16:26,995 --> 00:16:30,378
Hello? I wanted to leave a message
for Franca and Giuliana
196
00:16:30,514 --> 00:16:33,362
the two girls who sleep at your place.
197
00:16:33,491 --> 00:16:38,281
The "white paper" meeting is at Class
and Culture, not the Education faculty.
198
00:16:38,931 --> 00:16:43,721
Hello engineer, Pancaldi here.
An order has arrived from Tunisia.
199
00:16:44,147 --> 00:16:48,010
The factory tells me we've only time
for one more delivery.
200
00:16:48,147 --> 00:16:52,109
We have to reply urgently,
thanks.
201
00:16:54,421 --> 00:16:57,290
- Nino, what's the alarm set for?
- What?
202
00:16:58,101 --> 00:17:00,403
Ah... for midday.
203
00:17:01,973 --> 00:17:04,787
- Don't you have classes?
- Yes, but the university's occupied.
204
00:17:04,917 --> 00:17:08,943
Unless "Reform and Neoplatonism"
isn't seen as a good counter-course.
205
00:17:09,077 --> 00:17:14,707
Basically their position is somewhere
between rigorism and mysticism.
206
00:17:14,838 --> 00:17:18,732
- But if there are no classes...
- Then we should sleep, sure.
207
00:17:19,894 --> 00:17:24,302
- Monica, do you need the bathroom?
- No, I'll call the rectory first.
208
00:17:24,439 --> 00:17:28,333
- The students might change their mind.
- Working after a night like that...
209
00:17:28,470 --> 00:17:33,293
- I'm sorry for Piero.
- You'll find they're always like that.
210
00:17:34,551 --> 00:17:36,788
I can never close that window.
211
00:17:36,919 --> 00:17:40,716
- How long have you been with Nino?
- 5 years.
212
00:17:48,823 --> 00:17:53,613
Monica, what exactly
do the students want?
213
00:18:41,210 --> 00:18:43,666
Incitement to this kind of struggle...
214
00:18:44,219 --> 00:18:49,009
is where a "white paper" on
police brutality is mistaken.
215
00:18:49,948 --> 00:18:55,033
We can't appeal to the democratic
conscience of civil society
216
00:18:55,163 --> 00:19:01,209
while at heart we contribute to the
radicalization of class conflict.
217
00:19:01,340 --> 00:19:04,187
This is the speech
I have to give Monday.
218
00:19:04,316 --> 00:19:06,225
Democratic centralism...
219
00:19:06,365 --> 00:19:08,339
Listen!
220
00:19:09,501 --> 00:19:15,481
Listen Taluzzi... but let's
also see it in other places.
221
00:19:15,614 --> 00:19:20,436
At Fiat or Pirelli, for example,
not as a letter to your paper.
222
00:19:22,078 --> 00:19:24,249
I've got to go now.
223
00:19:26,110 --> 00:19:28,346
As soon as I can.
224
00:19:30,270 --> 00:19:32,726
No, it's not personal.
225
00:19:35,998 --> 00:19:38,038
No... bye.
226
00:19:55,264 --> 00:19:57,500
And that power fantasy?
227
00:21:05,571 --> 00:21:08,474
- It's also business.
- But I'm not in it for business.
228
00:21:08,612 --> 00:21:13,565
I said "also" business,
but it's strictly political.
229
00:21:13,701 --> 00:21:17,498
The texts of the workers' assemblies
in one volume
230
00:21:17,637 --> 00:21:19,492
are truly explosive.
231
00:21:19,620 --> 00:21:22,937
Hi, have you met Karen?
Are you jealous?
232
00:21:23,077 --> 00:21:27,867
You and I will never have a relationship
like mine with my employer...
233
00:21:28,069 --> 00:21:30,884
Europe's most illuminated
and politicized publisher.
234
00:21:31,014 --> 00:21:36,731
When the cops came those four
wretches screamed even louder,
235
00:21:36,870 --> 00:21:41,409
staining the courtyards
and doors with blood.
236
00:21:41,542 --> 00:21:45,885
Who knows how long
they'll take to get cleaned.
237
00:21:46,758 --> 00:21:52,388
Comrades from the fields
and factories
238
00:21:52,903 --> 00:21:57,573
take your sickles,
carry your hammers
239
00:21:57,704 --> 00:22:02,526
go out in the streets,
and use them to fight
240
00:22:02,664 --> 00:22:07,487
go out in the streets
and bury the system.
241
00:22:07,623 --> 00:22:12,544
You well-to-do people
what peace are you seeking?
242
00:22:12,680 --> 00:22:17,502
The peace to do
whatever you choose.
243
00:22:17,641 --> 00:22:22,398
But if that is the price,
we want war
244
00:22:22,536 --> 00:22:27,174
we want to see you
dead and buried.
245
00:22:27,305 --> 00:22:32,488
But if that is the price,
we've already paid it.
246
00:22:32,618 --> 00:22:36,960
No one in the world
deserves exploitation.
247
00:22:37,097 --> 00:22:43,208
If the wind once whistled,
it now whistles harder
248
00:22:43,338 --> 00:22:48,074
revolutionary ideas
never die.
249
00:22:48,298 --> 00:22:53,055
If some say they did,
don't heed what they say
250
00:22:53,195 --> 00:22:57,538
they only intend
to betray.
251
00:22:58,187 --> 00:23:02,944
If some say they did,
spit in their face
252
00:23:03,084 --> 00:23:07,623
they've thrown down
the red flag in disgrace.
253
00:23:07,755 --> 00:23:10,144
You well-to-do people...
254
00:23:13,004 --> 00:23:16,103
Yaweh's words
were addressed to Jonah:
255
00:23:16,236 --> 00:23:22,761
Go to Ninevah and tell the people
that such is their corruption...
256
00:23:22,893 --> 00:23:26,242
- Then?
- The boatman lowered his bible...
257
00:23:26,381 --> 00:23:30,178
- The the boat, the sea...
- Ok.
258
00:23:30,317 --> 00:23:33,164
And Yaweh made a whale appear
259
00:23:33,293 --> 00:23:36,108
a huge fish
that swallowed Jonah
260
00:23:36,238 --> 00:23:38,604
and Jonah remained in its belly...
261
00:23:38,733 --> 00:23:42,116
- Then the boatman again interrupts.
- Exactly.
262
00:23:42,254 --> 00:23:47,043
- The whale vomits Jonah onto the beach.
- Of the corrupt city to be destroyed.
263
00:23:47,182 --> 00:23:50,531
Then the boatman
incites the sailors to rebel.
264
00:23:50,670 --> 00:23:54,499
What's the point in writing
an allegorical novel today?
265
00:23:54,639 --> 00:23:58,054
Jonah is the revolutionary with
a mission to destroy society.
266
00:23:58,191 --> 00:24:02,533
The whale is the Communist Party which
traps him then throws him on the beach.
267
00:24:02,767 --> 00:24:05,997
Yaweh...
Well, yes, Yaweh.
268
00:24:10,800 --> 00:24:14,345
What if they catch me?
It's hiding a corpse...
269
00:24:14,511 --> 00:24:16,879
How will they catch you?
270
00:24:17,808 --> 00:24:21,191
Since the texts of the
Fiat-workers' talks are ready...
271
00:24:21,327 --> 00:24:23,433
we can put them in the magazine.
272
00:24:23,568 --> 00:24:27,878
Sure, to stop our boss changing
his mind as he usually does.
273
00:24:28,017 --> 00:24:31,399
- Shall I run them with the new series?
- Great!
274
00:24:31,665 --> 00:24:33,454
Hi Dublino.
275
00:24:34,864 --> 00:24:36,752
What an effort!
276
00:24:39,954 --> 00:24:43,302
It's hard work studying
how to plot against the boss
277
00:24:43,442 --> 00:24:46,606
and trap him
with no way out...
278
00:24:46,737 --> 00:24:49,007
How I envy you!
279
00:24:49,234 --> 00:24:55,344
With a quarter of your energy
and my inconsistency, I could be...
280
00:24:55,474 --> 00:24:58,126
An energetic inconsistent!
281
00:25:02,995 --> 00:25:05,744
What compensation!
I hold shares in the company.
282
00:25:05,875 --> 00:25:08,210
But it's different this time.
283
00:25:08,499 --> 00:25:11,795
- Are the stakes high?
- It's decisive for the company.
284
00:25:14,227 --> 00:25:17,162
Ok, we need a big find
285
00:25:17,300 --> 00:25:21,162
and you think I'll work more
if you pay me more?
286
00:26:05,847 --> 00:26:08,662
There are lots of those
transfers in sex...
287
00:26:08,791 --> 00:26:12,206
- It's odd, but I love him more.
- I understand.
288
00:26:12,343 --> 00:26:16,020
- It seems paradoxical.
- Is your first still with Piero?
289
00:26:16,152 --> 00:26:17,745
Claudia?
290
00:26:41,849 --> 00:26:44,020
- Thanks for thinking!
- But the rector...
291
00:26:44,153 --> 00:26:47,220
If we accept dialogue
with the rector...
292
00:26:48,889 --> 00:26:52,151
We'll deal with this guy
after the assembly...
293
00:26:53,753 --> 00:26:56,917
- We'll fix him...
- The rector is a fascist.
294
00:26:57,050 --> 00:26:59,668
At yesterday's assembly...
295
00:26:59,802 --> 00:27:02,453
Is this struggle
or agitation?
296
00:27:02,586 --> 00:27:04,343
Struggle!
297
00:27:04,474 --> 00:27:07,290
Then you need
strategy and tactics.
298
00:27:07,418 --> 00:27:09,873
These aren't Party headquarters!
299
00:27:10,011 --> 00:27:13,306
I left them ages ago,
and if I'm here now...
300
00:27:13,435 --> 00:27:17,974
"We've made declarations for 21 years.
The expulsion of the Communist Party..."
301
00:27:18,107 --> 00:27:23,126
- How did he get that letter?
- He's a proof reader at "Espresso".
302
00:27:23,452 --> 00:27:26,353
"Stalins death,
the Hungarian counter-revolution..."
303
00:27:27,164 --> 00:27:29,553
Ok, as you wish.
304
00:27:29,788 --> 00:27:33,683
Call it infantile, stupid, mistaken,
whatever
305
00:27:33,821 --> 00:27:37,682
but I'm not going in,
I don't feel like it.
306
00:27:38,621 --> 00:27:42,003
You told me
they were going immediately...
307
00:27:42,141 --> 00:27:46,614
- What bugs you about them?
- Who, them? Nothing.
308
00:27:47,196 --> 00:27:49,564
You're the one who bugs me.
309
00:27:53,181 --> 00:27:55,385
I think I understand.
310
00:27:57,246 --> 00:28:02,330
But it's different with us, what
we've always said... is still valid.
311
00:28:03,038 --> 00:28:05,908
The idiocy of living together
conditioning our lives
312
00:28:06,046 --> 00:28:09,876
and paying for happiness with
a heap of irritations and idiocies...
313
00:28:10,206 --> 00:28:15,292
They're outsiders, in trouble with
the police, so I took them in...
314
00:28:15,423 --> 00:28:19,646
- For one night.
- Yes, then I let them stay.
315
00:28:19,775 --> 00:28:22,709
I can't believe that
you can't understand
316
00:28:22,848 --> 00:28:25,782
with the intelligence
of understandable sensations...
317
00:28:25,920 --> 00:28:28,156
Know what it is?
318
00:28:29,599 --> 00:28:31,607
At least I think so...
319
00:28:32,800 --> 00:28:35,615
It's not that they don't bother you...
320
00:28:35,744 --> 00:28:38,875
- Look, please...
- You really enjoy them.
321
00:28:40,160 --> 00:28:42,103
That's the point.
322
00:28:43,040 --> 00:28:45,888
What's wrong with that, you'll say.
323
00:28:46,849 --> 00:28:49,021
I can't explain.
324
00:28:49,792 --> 00:28:54,713
It's something that puts you
off balance, like the "Espresso" thing.
325
00:28:54,849 --> 00:28:58,744
You wrote a letter to "Paese Sera"
and "Espresso" published it.
326
00:28:58,881 --> 00:29:01,369
It changes, it means something else.
327
00:29:01,506 --> 00:29:03,840
What are you saying?
328
00:29:03,970 --> 00:29:07,353
Your letter comes out
in "Espresso" tomorrow
329
00:29:07,490 --> 00:29:10,425
under the headline
"Communist intellectuals"...
330
00:29:10,562 --> 00:29:16,028
- This is serious, do the others know?
- Sure, the phones went crazy!
331
00:29:16,162 --> 00:29:19,065
Faggioni trying to block
publication,
332
00:29:19,203 --> 00:29:22,585
Romano hunting you desperately,
Dublino seeking Surina
333
00:29:22,723 --> 00:29:25,571
and the students knew
before Dal Fabbro.
334
00:29:25,699 --> 00:29:27,969
Lord knows what messages I've got.
335
00:29:28,132 --> 00:29:30,520
He's asleep, I'll try.
336
00:29:34,180 --> 00:29:37,049
Hi, kids...
Are you sleep walking?
337
00:29:37,188 --> 00:29:40,036
- We're Dracula's children.
- Blood will flow!
338
00:29:40,163 --> 00:29:41,658
Go ahead.
339
00:29:42,117 --> 00:29:45,051
- Hi.
- Luciano, you're in trouble.
340
00:29:45,188 --> 00:29:49,051
Move the meeting to tomorrow morning
before the papers come out.
341
00:29:49,188 --> 00:29:52,963
- Are you crazy?
- I'm not joking.
342
00:29:53,604 --> 00:29:57,434
You said the American contract
was crucial for the company.
343
00:29:57,573 --> 00:30:02,559
Call them for 7am,
before they read the papers.
344
00:30:02,982 --> 00:30:08,546
We'll work all night,
get designers, typists and calculators.
345
00:30:09,190 --> 00:30:12,125
We need a proposal ready by dawn
346
00:30:12,262 --> 00:30:15,645
to convince them to sign
the contract immediately.
347
00:30:33,159 --> 00:30:37,437
Get with it, the Bologna congress
strategy wasn't unanimous.
348
00:30:37,895 --> 00:30:40,765
It's the first time since
the days of Bordigna.
349
00:30:40,904 --> 00:30:43,173
Sure, at this point...
350
00:30:44,072 --> 00:30:48,961
Less positive is the serious dispute
some workers' groups have with us.
351
00:30:51,721 --> 00:30:54,917
No denials,
forget it.
352
00:30:55,112 --> 00:30:57,568
A meeting's fine, but...
353
00:30:58,089 --> 00:31:01,437
with all the comrades, understand?
354
00:31:02,569 --> 00:31:06,596
- They're making one hell of a fuss.
- Over that nonsense?
355
00:31:07,690 --> 00:31:12,129
- It's great you heard them.
- Listen... stop running.
356
00:31:12,266 --> 00:31:15,332
- Why did they say those things?
- Heckling is all they know.
357
00:31:15,465 --> 00:31:19,394
- But your letter is serious.
- Nothing's serious to them.
358
00:31:19,531 --> 00:31:21,124
Tortoises?
359
00:31:21,258 --> 00:31:23,812
Look, is a car like this serious?
360
00:31:23,947 --> 00:31:26,216
- But it's yours...
- Sure.
361
00:31:27,179 --> 00:31:31,719
- You need it as a publisher...
- No, I need it for me.
362
00:31:32,043 --> 00:31:36,135
Isn't loving and collecting
beautiful things serious?
363
00:31:36,715 --> 00:31:41,473
This car has character,
combining aggression with reserve.
364
00:31:41,611 --> 00:31:45,386
I've got another they're restoring,
the car costs nothing
365
00:31:45,516 --> 00:31:49,029
it's the restoration
that will cost a fortune.
366
00:31:50,796 --> 00:31:53,993
Don't be scared,
I still haven't gone totally crazy.
367
00:31:57,741 --> 00:32:01,003
Do you think your silent
polemic goes unnoticed?
368
00:32:01,133 --> 00:32:05,226
Your protestant society is different,
just look at New York.
369
00:32:05,357 --> 00:32:07,692
- Did they give you a visa?
- For a few days.
370
00:32:07,821 --> 00:32:10,090
Weren't you on the
cultural commission?
371
00:32:10,222 --> 00:32:13,605
Yes... I was under
Dal Fabbro's thumb.
372
00:32:14,606 --> 00:32:18,500
We were all friends, kids, Vanni
was already going places
373
00:32:18,638 --> 00:32:20,809
he'd done an incredible film.
374
00:32:20,943 --> 00:32:23,820
We were so different,
we always believed everything.
375
00:32:24,366 --> 00:32:29,517
You should have seen the dialectic
energy I had at this morning's meeting.
376
00:32:29,647 --> 00:32:33,476
When I was pitching to that
American industrialist guy...
377
00:32:33,615 --> 00:32:37,445
our blessed "Marxist analytical rigor"
works wonderfully.
378
00:32:42,320 --> 00:32:43,978
Listen...
379
00:32:50,320 --> 00:32:52,262
God, my head!
380
00:32:54,864 --> 00:32:56,489
Thanks...
381
00:32:56,688 --> 00:33:00,971
Of course, their psychological analysis
of the masses is pseudo-science...
382
00:33:02,065 --> 00:33:04,967
What nonsense!
Salon paradoxes.
383
00:33:08,817 --> 00:33:13,040
Yes, I'm going...
Excuse my barging in.
384
00:36:45,311 --> 00:36:48,031
- Engineer, telephone.
- Thanks. I'll be right back.
385
00:37:00,895 --> 00:37:04,212
Hello, Dosi here.
Hi, Massimo. What telegrams?
386
00:37:05,728 --> 00:37:07,290
Really?
387
00:37:08,608 --> 00:37:10,550
Lmagine that.
388
00:37:11,489 --> 00:37:14,140
Yes, soon.
Bye, Massimo.
389
00:37:16,512 --> 00:37:19,808
"We enthusiastically adhere to the
revolutionary action initiative.
390
00:37:19,937 --> 00:37:24,891
Ready to form action committee."
Signed: Biraglia, Laurenti, Rispoli.
391
00:37:25,025 --> 00:37:27,062
God, even Biraglia!
392
00:37:27,201 --> 00:37:31,839
Biraglia maybe just wants publicity,
but the others...
393
00:37:31,969 --> 00:37:36,825
Aweek ago who'd have predicted
a row like this over that letter...
394
00:37:36,961 --> 00:37:42,232
I'm thinking of poor Telli
and his American soap contract...
395
00:37:42,370 --> 00:37:44,279
It's business.
396
00:37:44,866 --> 00:37:47,746
We need to find a way...
397
00:37:49,315 --> 00:37:52,217
- of managing...
- To mobilize the Party.
398
00:37:52,355 --> 00:37:55,519
- I reckon it's possible.
- No way, forget it.
399
00:37:57,091 --> 00:37:59,547
- Or rather...
- Even if the Party...
400
00:37:59,684 --> 00:38:04,452
Wait, we need to convince our people
to become the center...
401
00:38:08,867 --> 00:38:11,770
of a broad public-opinion movement.
402
00:38:12,292 --> 00:38:16,154
Only at that point
will the Party mobilize.
403
00:38:51,783 --> 00:38:55,645
I organized the perfect crime,
the car in a suburban garage
404
00:38:55,784 --> 00:38:59,132
and a note: "Laura, I need
to be alone, I'm going south."
405
00:38:59,270 --> 00:39:02,309
All to avoid being caught
by those two!
406
00:39:02,439 --> 00:39:06,334
I've come to you like a kid
who stole the jam, while you...
407
00:39:06,472 --> 00:39:08,927
You live in the clouds.
408
00:39:09,064 --> 00:39:13,920
The campaign they want to do
is a great launch for your new book.
409
00:39:14,695 --> 00:39:18,973
Where's the risk? There's no way
you'll really go.
410
00:39:22,633 --> 00:39:25,699
- If Vanni and Massimo only knew!
- What?
411
00:39:25,833 --> 00:39:29,094
That their great ethical-political-
revolutionary undertaking
412
00:39:29,225 --> 00:39:32,521
is a free ride for the
consumer goods we produce
413
00:39:32,649 --> 00:39:35,465
for the glory of the system's
managing class.
414
00:39:35,593 --> 00:39:38,496
Are you sure they aren't
perfectly aware of that?
415
00:39:38,633 --> 00:39:41,765
We held a first meeting
in the Culture House
416
00:39:42,186 --> 00:39:44,225
and another at the Federation.
417
00:39:44,362 --> 00:39:46,304
Exactly, the Federation.
418
00:39:46,442 --> 00:39:49,345
- With Troisi, not Fassini.
- Laura's right arm.
419
00:39:49,482 --> 00:39:53,312
Laura De Marchi? We've got a meeting
with her and Palermini tomorrow.
420
00:39:53,450 --> 00:39:57,541
- Incredible! Palermini on the Left!
- Let them finish.
421
00:39:57,675 --> 00:39:59,201
Hush!
422
00:39:59,723 --> 00:40:04,000
We agreed on a motion to support
your initiative and tomorrow...
423
00:40:04,139 --> 00:40:09,639
Sorry, I want it clear that
our position is strictly political.
424
00:40:09,771 --> 00:40:13,066
There's no chance
the Vietnamese will accept it.
425
00:40:14,412 --> 00:40:16,745
Obviously, that's not the point.
426
00:40:22,316 --> 00:40:27,139
250 culture workers have agreed
to approve a solidarity motion.
427
00:40:27,277 --> 00:40:30,343
"We, the undersigned,
following the position taken
428
00:40:30,477 --> 00:40:33,891
by a group of qualified
Rome comrades, declare...
429
00:40:34,029 --> 00:40:38,884
I represent a group of
culture workers, lots of us.
430
00:40:39,341 --> 00:40:42,244
I've got a list of 1,423 names
431
00:40:42,381 --> 00:40:46,211
collected at 17 meetings
in Liguria and 6 in Piedmont.
432
00:40:46,349 --> 00:40:49,316
I'll read them, or maybe it's better
to read the text...
433
00:40:49,550 --> 00:40:52,168
And Paris, London, Berlin?
434
00:40:52,303 --> 00:40:55,598
Will you stop regional conferences
with a bomb like that?
435
00:40:55,854 --> 00:40:59,783
With 14,000 signatures from
14,000 provincial culture workers?
436
00:40:59,919 --> 00:41:02,886
Think of Europe,
we're still playing soft here...
437
00:41:03,023 --> 00:41:10,311
I speak for a group of Dutch
cultural workers here to demonstrate
438
00:41:10,447 --> 00:41:12,956
their total active solidarity
with your movement.
439
00:41:12,990 --> 00:41:15,467
Their total active solidarity
with your movement.
440
00:41:26,832 --> 00:41:29,647
If I'm rediscovering
my best side
441
00:41:29,777 --> 00:41:32,190
this can only distance me from a girl
like you, your father would understand.
442
00:41:32,224 --> 00:41:34,605
This can only distance me from a girl
like you, your father would understand.
443
00:41:35,121 --> 00:41:38,187
You have no idea
what this...
444
00:41:38,897 --> 00:41:42,159
ridiculous action of ours
means to me.
445
00:41:42,578 --> 00:41:45,480
Know what saves you, Piero?
446
00:41:45,969 --> 00:41:50,792
My contempt for you is so real
that to hear you speak like this...
447
00:41:51,441 --> 00:41:56,746
I'm now sure this business
will never be anything serious.
448
00:41:57,235 --> 00:41:59,624
Never, understand? Never!
449
00:42:02,290 --> 00:42:05,160
As for
your best side...
450
00:42:37,557 --> 00:42:39,794
Where did you put the grapes?
451
00:44:17,404 --> 00:44:19,313
Your buyer?
452
00:44:21,211 --> 00:44:23,480
- Heh...
- What's up?
453
00:44:25,979 --> 00:44:28,882
Don't play the fool...
454
00:44:29,020 --> 00:44:32,402
We've nothing
to be ashamed of.
455
00:44:32,540 --> 00:44:35,736
- No, it's that...
- Cut it out, I'm not interested!
456
00:44:35,868 --> 00:44:38,454
It's just my mood swings.
457
00:44:48,317 --> 00:44:50,259
Look at her.
458
00:44:58,109 --> 00:45:03,380
She's so beautiful... you can see
her honesty in how she walks.
459
00:45:03,518 --> 00:45:05,907
- Are you two doing better?
- No, worse.
460
00:45:06,047 --> 00:45:08,916
- Why?
- Mood swings.
461
00:45:10,718 --> 00:45:12,474
Mine, naturally.
462
00:45:15,198 --> 00:45:18,233
Acommittee of Dutch writers?
463
00:45:18,367 --> 00:45:21,214
Are we making fun
of ourselves?
464
00:45:21,343 --> 00:45:25,044
300 writers, 173 painters, 2-3,000
culture workers...
465
00:45:25,183 --> 00:45:28,030
Do you realize who they are?
466
00:45:28,159 --> 00:45:31,869
What national weight
do those Dutch guys have?
467
00:45:31,999 --> 00:45:36,310
- You weren't even there.
- Right, you weren't.
468
00:45:36,832 --> 00:45:39,680
Do you see the risk? The ridicule?
469
00:45:39,808 --> 00:45:42,806
It's a small minority
exhibitionist action
470
00:45:42,945 --> 00:45:45,629
that discredits us,
culture, intellectuals...
471
00:45:45,760 --> 00:45:50,550
If we had a Sartre, a Picasso...
it would change everything.
472
00:45:50,688 --> 00:45:54,715
And the effect of the Party, which
you believe has been forced to move.
473
00:45:54,849 --> 00:45:59,519
The Party doesn't move unless
a true shift of opinion is created.
474
00:45:59,649 --> 00:46:04,953
If we can't find a way out now,
we risk ending up pathetic.
475
00:46:07,074 --> 00:46:10,390
- Want a Mercedes?
- Thanks, I prefer mine.
476
00:46:21,891 --> 00:46:24,411
- Massimo, sorry.
- For what?
477
00:46:25,475 --> 00:46:28,378
I don't know...
Well, you know...
478
00:46:30,436 --> 00:46:32,029
everything.
479
00:46:32,451 --> 00:46:34,393
Cut it out!
480
00:46:34,692 --> 00:46:37,594
What's up between you two?
481
00:46:38,116 --> 00:46:43,195
I wish I knew! We've spent days
and nights talking, clarifying...
482
00:46:44,132 --> 00:46:50,178
It's impossible, believe me...
clearly I was a fool.
483
00:46:50,373 --> 00:46:55,229
I was a provincial playing the
revolutionary artist fighting society.
484
00:46:55,749 --> 00:46:59,581
If i hadn't met Vanni, I'd still
be a jerk dressing shop-windows.
485
00:46:59,717 --> 00:47:03,547
My boss says you need to know
how to write what doesn't exist.
486
00:47:03,686 --> 00:47:07,614
Why's he sending you to Stockholm?
Nocera Umbra is still a problem.
487
00:47:07,749 --> 00:47:10,117
I slept with Massimo.
488
00:47:12,070 --> 00:47:13,597
When?
489
00:47:13,830 --> 00:47:16,699
Last night,
but why does that matter?
490
00:47:18,150 --> 00:47:21,379
I don't know...
it matters because.
491
00:47:32,072 --> 00:47:36,512
These things just happen,
if you seek reasons...
492
00:47:38,024 --> 00:47:42,366
you find thousands,
but none are the right one.
493
00:47:42,536 --> 00:47:48,319
Lying is pointless, we already tell
so many lies every day, every moment.
494
00:47:50,343 --> 00:47:53,605
Right...
What a great gift!
495
00:47:53,897 --> 00:47:56,096
The positivist inheritance...
496
00:47:56,232 --> 00:48:00,510
To seek reasons,
responsibility...
497
00:48:01,097 --> 00:48:03,334
What a bad joke!
498
00:48:04,009 --> 00:48:06,114
Are you upset?
499
00:48:09,769 --> 00:48:12,072
I was asking myself that.
500
00:48:14,154 --> 00:48:16,390
I'm not sure.
501
00:48:16,810 --> 00:48:18,982
It's just an impulse...
502
00:48:20,747 --> 00:48:24,095
To be precise, an impulse
to kill you.
503
00:48:24,523 --> 00:48:26,791
Not only kill you...
504
00:48:27,051 --> 00:48:30,629
I feel like strangling you,
cutting you up,
505
00:48:30,827 --> 00:48:35,050
into bits, stamping on the bits
and burning them...
506
00:48:35,274 --> 00:48:37,413
no, crushing them and...
507
00:48:38,251 --> 00:48:40,618
stuffing them in holes in a wall...
508
00:48:40,843 --> 00:48:43,015
pushing them right inside.
509
00:48:53,996 --> 00:48:57,292
Listen, Mariella...
tell me something.
510
00:48:57,581 --> 00:48:59,915
How's Massimo in bed?
511
00:49:03,341 --> 00:49:06,407
- Is the Jaguar ready?
- In a few days.
512
00:49:06,541 --> 00:49:08,777
We'll inaugurate it together, ok?
513
00:49:08,877 --> 00:49:13,220
- Did you sleep with Karen?
- No, despite your father's efforts...
514
00:49:13,869 --> 00:49:18,626
He got the Americans to sign the contract,
the morning "Espresso" came out.
515
00:49:19,246 --> 00:49:23,075
- They say he was fabulous.
- I don't like how he is.
516
00:49:23,214 --> 00:49:27,557
He came here afterwards... why are
you two always so pale?
517
00:49:28,334 --> 00:49:31,782
Hamlet started it,
then fashion...
518
00:49:33,391 --> 00:49:35,944
- What did Telli say?
- Dad? Nothing.
519
00:49:36,079 --> 00:49:39,046
I think he wanted to say
something, but I...
520
00:49:39,215 --> 00:49:42,150
I can't stand him, really.
521
00:49:42,287 --> 00:49:45,583
I keep trying,
but it's like a block.
522
00:49:45,711 --> 00:49:49,126
I don't really understand
what's happening to me.
523
00:49:49,264 --> 00:49:54,120
You've never spoken to each other,
you get on better with his wife...
524
00:49:54,256 --> 00:49:57,104
- Tell me something...
- You mustn't feel guilty.
525
00:49:57,232 --> 00:50:00,909
You've wanted to sleep with me
since I was a girl, right?
526
00:50:01,040 --> 00:50:03,910
I've asked myself that so often.
527
00:50:04,049 --> 00:50:07,343
But I was sincere when
I listened to you talk.
528
00:50:07,472 --> 00:50:12,328
I was enchanted by your
precocious, adult intelligence.
529
00:50:12,785 --> 00:50:15,687
But I also longed
to deflower you
530
00:50:15,826 --> 00:50:19,687
or gaze at you and have you later,
day after day, gently...
531
00:50:19,922 --> 00:50:22,792
like the wolf
in those odious folk tales.
532
00:50:23,570 --> 00:50:28,360
Who knows why children's tales
are always so atrocious, terroristic?
533
00:50:28,562 --> 00:50:32,392
- When do you leave for Vietnam?
- Leave? Who?
534
00:50:32,723 --> 00:50:36,170
- Are you feeling ok?
- What do you mean?
535
00:50:36,307 --> 00:50:39,373
Claudia, do you really think
the Vietnamese Party
536
00:50:39,507 --> 00:50:43,249
after refusing Soviet and Chinese
volunteers, will suddenly accept us?
537
00:50:43,379 --> 00:50:47,242
They're just games, exercises, fake
rehearsals for a non-existent war.
538
00:50:47,380 --> 00:50:50,314
- But the other day...
- Everything's changed.
539
00:50:50,452 --> 00:50:53,386
No more interviews or delegations,
nothing.
540
00:50:53,524 --> 00:50:56,394
- Dal Fabbro convinced us...
- But Dosi, Sarchielli, Laura...
541
00:50:56,532 --> 00:50:59,794
- Weren't they all eager to go?
- Yes...
542
00:50:59,924 --> 00:51:03,721
But you know how intellectuals are,
even potentially revolutionary ones?
543
00:51:03,861 --> 00:51:06,381
The ones who live for class struggle?
544
00:51:06,517 --> 00:51:08,818
- How?
- Without class.
545
00:51:09,428 --> 00:51:12,811
- Yes, fickle, false.
- But you aren't fickle.
546
00:51:13,077 --> 00:51:16,393
No, vile if anything...
though you decide.
547
00:51:16,533 --> 00:51:20,560
All Dal Fabbro had to say was
"become pathetic"...
548
00:51:21,173 --> 00:51:24,305
and we froze like soldiers in a
Piero della Francesca painting.
549
00:51:24,533 --> 00:51:28,428
By the way, my magazine special
comes out tomorrow
550
00:51:28,567 --> 00:51:32,909
a kind of tabloid dedicated
to Vietnam and men of culture!
551
00:51:33,174 --> 00:51:35,148
...and kicks.
552
00:51:35,702 --> 00:51:37,677
After this...
553
00:51:38,934 --> 00:51:41,105
I lost consciousness...
554
00:51:42,070 --> 00:51:44,460
and was taken...
555
00:51:44,727 --> 00:51:48,437
- This late? Isn't he old?
- He's a special guy.
556
00:51:48,567 --> 00:51:50,356
- Hi.
- Hi.
557
00:51:51,352 --> 00:51:53,807
I brought bread, here...
558
00:51:54,647 --> 00:51:57,582
- It's still warm.
- We were talking about you.
559
00:51:57,720 --> 00:52:01,495
- I know what you were saying.
- Cut it out, it's for the "white paper".
560
00:52:03,256 --> 00:52:04,915
He's a comrade...
561
00:52:05,048 --> 00:52:10,265
We have legal problems, so some
of us are against the initiative.
562
00:53:28,093 --> 00:53:32,469
- It seems you're judging me.
- I'm not judging you.
563
00:53:32,606 --> 00:53:34,581
Who then?
564
00:53:49,535 --> 00:53:53,245
Wake up!
I'm talking to you, wake up!
565
00:53:53,567 --> 00:53:56,469
Not even a bomb...
Wake up!
566
00:53:56,608 --> 00:53:59,291
Look at him!
Acorpse.
567
00:53:59,424 --> 00:54:01,627
Come on, wake up.
568
00:54:01,856 --> 00:54:05,751
What do you do at night?
I'm going to get angry... Wake up!
569
00:54:06,881 --> 00:54:10,492
- Look...
- A letter of support from Sartre?
570
00:54:15,969 --> 00:54:18,205
How did you know?
571
00:54:20,864 --> 00:54:23,734
Yes, it's a letter from Sartre.
572
00:54:24,321 --> 00:54:28,030
Do you realize the timing?
The choice of the moment...
573
00:54:31,905 --> 00:54:35,680
It includes an appeal from a group
of big English names
574
00:54:35,810 --> 00:54:37,949
addressed to American intellectuals.
575
00:54:38,338 --> 00:54:40,575
Speechless, huh?
576
00:54:42,114 --> 00:54:44,023
Sorry, but...
577
00:54:47,618 --> 00:54:49,506
What are you doing?
578
00:54:51,043 --> 00:54:53,465
He'll collapse!
579
00:54:54,979 --> 00:54:56,768
Flat out...
580
00:54:57,347 --> 00:55:00,315
Hello?
Professor Dal Fabbro.
581
00:55:01,027 --> 00:55:03,646
Hi, Grandi...
Come in.
582
00:55:07,939 --> 00:55:09,882
- Hi.
- Cesare, how's things?
583
00:55:10,020 --> 00:55:12,125
You're younger by the day...
584
00:55:12,260 --> 00:55:15,195
She hasn't changed
since we first met.
585
00:55:17,957 --> 00:55:21,469
Hi, how's things?
Hi Nino. Hi Dosi.
586
00:55:21,637 --> 00:55:23,131
Hi.
587
00:55:25,860 --> 00:55:27,421
So...
588
00:55:27,557 --> 00:55:30,688
- Take a seat.
- On your damn low couches...
589
00:55:30,821 --> 00:55:32,730
So, comrades...
590
00:55:33,765 --> 00:55:35,805
Do you have a light?
591
00:55:40,037 --> 00:55:43,834
Lets start, I leave
for Modena at 4.
592
00:55:44,518 --> 00:55:46,656
Let's get to the point.
593
00:55:47,814 --> 00:55:51,392
I'll skip the letter
and the "Espresso" affair.
594
00:55:51,878 --> 00:55:56,734
Let's discuss the growing support
for this culture brigade.
595
00:55:56,871 --> 00:56:02,086
We'll ignore why and if the Party
might stay out of this affair...
596
00:56:02,311 --> 00:56:05,442
In fact, Dosi,
just let it be.
597
00:56:05,575 --> 00:56:09,568
This is neither the time nor
the place for a serious discussion
598
00:56:09,704 --> 00:56:14,112
of the Party's cultural policy, which
is an organic part of a political line
599
00:56:14,248 --> 00:56:16,834
debated and verified internally.
600
00:56:17,160 --> 00:56:19,582
This public-opinion campaign
601
00:56:19,720 --> 00:56:23,037
has to give our Party
its due role.
602
00:56:23,176 --> 00:56:28,326
A role of support and presence
in giving you access
603
00:56:28,457 --> 00:56:32,614
to its media outlets
to host your initiative.
604
00:56:33,385 --> 00:56:35,752
Neutral support...
Not absent, in other words.
605
00:56:38,762 --> 00:56:40,966
I'll run a poll right away.
606
00:56:41,641 --> 00:56:44,838
If you see it doesn't work,
leave immediately.
607
00:56:46,057 --> 00:56:47,846
I get it.
608
00:56:48,810 --> 00:56:51,145
Yes, it depends on them.
609
00:56:52,203 --> 00:56:53,763
No, I'll do more.
610
00:56:53,898 --> 00:56:57,247
What does revolutionary faith
have to do with going to Paris?
611
00:56:57,386 --> 00:56:59,808
Why go if they're coming...
612
00:56:59,946 --> 00:57:03,045
- You could talk to Sartre...
- He intimidates me.
613
00:57:03,178 --> 00:57:07,237
- Massimo says I have to go to Paris.
- I have to see him this morning.
614
00:57:07,371 --> 00:57:09,281
Hear that?
615
00:57:10,443 --> 00:57:13,575
He'll see you immediately,
but in his bed...
616
00:57:13,707 --> 00:57:16,042
Right!
I'll drop by for a moment.
617
00:57:16,172 --> 00:57:17,732
Happy?
618
00:57:17,868 --> 00:57:19,755
It's open.
619
00:57:21,517 --> 00:57:24,997
- Hi.
- I dreamed of you last night.
620
00:57:26,828 --> 00:57:29,698
- I don't believe you.
- True, I'm lying.
621
00:57:33,357 --> 00:57:38,310
You look like a decadent Roman
emperor photographed by "Vogue".
622
00:57:39,916 --> 00:57:42,732
Not bad,
Titina would like that.
623
00:57:44,749 --> 00:57:46,605
She's so sweet...
624
00:57:46,734 --> 00:57:50,083
Aclassic affectionate digression
on the partner's official woman.
625
00:57:50,221 --> 00:57:52,491
You mentioned Titina.
626
00:57:52,622 --> 00:57:54,794
I'll kill you.
627
00:57:55,534 --> 00:57:58,283
Well, I adore you...
that's all.
628
00:57:59,150 --> 00:58:02,118
Saverio might arrive,
he phoned me from Belgrade.
629
00:58:02,255 --> 00:58:06,859
Yes? How he worries me!
Who cares about Saverio...
630
00:58:07,823 --> 00:58:12,078
The Vietnamese delegation has a
support base in Belgrade so Saverio...
631
00:58:12,207 --> 00:58:15,109
- Heh, you're serious!
- Sure, this time...
632
00:58:15,247 --> 00:58:19,044
You'll start laughing!
Go on, cut it out.
633
00:58:19,695 --> 00:58:21,703
No way!
634
00:58:21,903 --> 00:58:24,773
What made you like me?
635
00:58:25,616 --> 00:58:27,110
Right...
636
00:58:27,984 --> 00:58:30,286
- I just did.
- You're heavy...
637
00:58:30,416 --> 00:58:32,325
Hold still.
638
00:58:35,409 --> 00:58:39,270
Thanks to that support
base, Saverio
639
00:58:39,409 --> 00:58:44,166
has Vietnamese contacts since his
time in Belgrade as special envoy.
640
00:58:47,473 --> 00:58:50,190
God, Massimo, what's got into you!
641
00:58:51,250 --> 00:58:54,120
Who's laughing, you're
the horny one.
642
00:58:55,122 --> 00:58:57,773
Ok, but you too...
643
00:58:58,226 --> 00:59:00,398
Listen a moment.
644
00:59:01,043 --> 00:59:05,199
Suppose Saverio arrives... and he
already has an accord with Hanoi.
645
00:59:06,034 --> 00:59:08,937
For the culture brigade...
Can I smoke?
646
00:59:13,811 --> 00:59:16,681
- What kind of accord?
- It's just a hypothesis.
647
00:59:16,819 --> 00:59:20,398
But if there were a chance
of negotiating with your brigade
648
00:59:20,531 --> 00:59:22,636
how would the others react?
649
00:59:22,836 --> 00:59:25,771
I'm not sure,
I don't know.
650
00:59:25,908 --> 00:59:29,356
Sorry, Massimo,
if Saverio wants to see you...
651
00:59:29,588 --> 00:59:33,036
- Do I tell just you two?
- What does Dublino say?
652
00:59:33,172 --> 00:59:36,468
I'd be crazy to talk with him,
I'm talking to you
653
00:59:36,596 --> 00:59:39,913
and I could have talked to Vanni if
he weren't so argumentative with me.
654
00:59:40,053 --> 00:59:41,580
Right...
655
00:59:43,350 --> 00:59:45,259
However...
656
00:59:45,684 --> 00:59:48,554
What can I say?
It's an absurd hypothesis.
657
00:59:57,109 --> 00:59:59,477
- Careful, it's very low.
- Thanks.
658
01:00:01,622 --> 01:00:03,956
How's things?
Hi.
659
01:00:04,406 --> 01:00:06,414
Hi, Titina.
660
01:00:08,278 --> 01:00:09,772
Saverio...
661
01:00:10,902 --> 01:00:12,429
Massimo!
662
01:00:13,975 --> 01:00:17,870
Saverio has something important to say
and you invite all these people?
663
01:00:18,007 --> 01:00:20,855
- They came by themselves.
- But you knew it!
664
01:00:20,983 --> 01:00:25,293
He knew very well Saverio had
something confidential to tell us.
665
01:00:25,528 --> 01:00:27,251
Mariella, hi!
666
01:00:27,416 --> 01:00:29,488
Saverio! Old friend!
667
01:00:29,912 --> 01:00:34,255
- How can we talk in this chaos?
- I didn't know, I'm sorry.
668
01:00:34,391 --> 01:00:36,693
Saverio arrived
out of the blue...
669
01:00:36,824 --> 01:00:40,141
- Is that his woman?
- Finnish? You're having me on.
670
01:00:42,553 --> 01:00:46,415
She's Cuban of Turkish origin
born in Finland but living in Belgrade.
671
01:00:46,553 --> 01:00:49,814
Now, if you have something
to tell them, tell us...
672
01:00:49,945 --> 01:00:52,815
We can't keep living
in a Barnum circus...
673
01:00:52,953 --> 01:00:55,026
- Madamigella Valery!
- That's me!
674
01:00:55,258 --> 01:00:57,200
D'Alfredo, the father...
675
01:00:57,337 --> 01:01:00,239
- We can take care of the outsiders.
- Sure.
676
01:01:02,810 --> 01:01:04,336
Piero!
677
01:01:04,474 --> 01:01:06,841
- Finnish?
- No, Cuban.
678
01:01:07,258 --> 01:01:09,167
- Are you Cuban?
- Yes.
679
01:01:09,307 --> 01:01:11,412
Finnish, seriously.
680
01:01:12,858 --> 01:01:14,997
What's that?
681
01:01:15,642 --> 01:01:18,545
- The inside of a dome.
- It's amazing.
682
01:01:19,003 --> 01:01:20,564
And here?
683
01:01:20,699 --> 01:01:22,706
- It's great.
- It looks onto Via Garibaldi...
684
01:01:22,844 --> 01:01:26,139
Hi Dublino, I read your novel...
wonderful, really.
685
01:01:26,267 --> 01:01:29,170
- How long have you had this?
- Since he made money.
686
01:01:29,308 --> 01:01:31,729
It cost two cents...
maybe three.
687
01:01:31,868 --> 01:01:36,625
Massimo, what's up?
Are you ashamed to face our Saverio?
688
01:01:37,020 --> 01:01:41,079
He was with the Ludovisi,
everyone with "Trauma 45"
689
01:01:41,212 --> 01:01:44,726
Teatro Italia, cold mornings,
long reports, freezing showers...
690
01:01:44,861 --> 01:01:48,690
The new-style Communist,
well-dressed, properly spoken
691
01:01:48,828 --> 01:01:50,868
a little sexist...
692
01:01:51,005 --> 01:01:53,655
It's been 20 years
and nothing's changed!
693
01:01:53,885 --> 01:01:56,819
It's all different, as if Marx,
instead of doing "Das Kapital"
694
01:01:56,957 --> 01:01:59,292
had continued
with question B...
695
01:01:59,421 --> 01:02:02,456
Excellent, even in time-scale,
I'm moved.
696
01:02:02,589 --> 01:02:05,819
- Are you joking, professor?
- Not at all.
697
01:02:06,110 --> 01:02:10,103
I first wanted to emphasize
the memory capacity
698
01:02:10,238 --> 01:02:13,108
and secondly
the clarity of synthesis.
699
01:02:13,983 --> 01:02:17,692
- Hi, Goliarda.
- See? Just mention Menghi and...
700
01:02:22,847 --> 01:02:26,709
- How are you?
- Fine... you too, it seems.
701
01:02:27,616 --> 01:02:32,667
I'm worried about how
you'll talk in all this confusion.
702
01:02:32,799 --> 01:02:34,686
Nicole... come here.
703
01:02:34,815 --> 01:02:38,645
- Women over here.
- All of you! Let's go!
704
01:02:39,455 --> 01:02:41,561
Surina, Dyana, Randy!
705
01:02:41,696 --> 01:02:43,638
Everyone this way!
706
01:02:43,840 --> 01:02:45,750
What's happening?
707
01:02:46,400 --> 01:02:48,822
- No, women only.
- No men.
708
01:02:48,960 --> 01:02:52,758
- Except Alberto...
- What's all this discrimination?
709
01:02:57,057 --> 01:03:00,221
- Let's start... lay them out...
- Lay them out?
710
01:03:00,353 --> 01:03:05,918
- Well, they go...
- I don't see why Alberto...
711
01:03:16,323 --> 01:03:21,080
Laura told me this morning
that Saverio wanted to see us alone.
712
01:03:26,050 --> 01:03:29,018
Just for a moment,
let's go over here.
713
01:03:32,867 --> 01:03:34,842
Not me!
714
01:03:37,188 --> 01:03:38,911
No, wait!
715
01:03:40,099 --> 01:03:42,009
- There...
- No!
716
01:03:42,148 --> 01:03:44,220
Faggioni, you're done.
717
01:03:50,533 --> 01:03:52,126
Great!
718
01:03:52,357 --> 01:03:54,245
What happened?
719
01:03:55,108 --> 01:03:58,370
We put you under one of us, yes, yes,
Karen!
720
01:04:02,149 --> 01:04:06,852
I've been asked to contact the
Italian promoter group, that's you
721
01:04:07,077 --> 01:04:11,267
and the Yugoslav Defence Ministry,
which will give us four planes.
722
01:04:11,525 --> 01:04:14,754
Departing from the policy
maintained until now
723
01:04:14,886 --> 01:04:19,360
the Vietnamese Party welcomes the
request from European men of culture.
724
01:04:19,494 --> 01:04:24,710
Once the decision is verified at the
next Central Committee meeting
725
01:04:24,838 --> 01:04:28,188
you will be responsible
on an essentially personal level
726
01:04:28,327 --> 01:04:32,517
with respect to the modality
recommended by our Party
727
01:04:32,647 --> 01:04:34,949
to not expose yourselves entirely.
728
01:04:35,431 --> 01:04:38,693
The news and your departure
will be officially announced
729
01:04:38,823 --> 01:04:43,613
the day after the Vietnamese
Central Committee meeting ends
730
01:04:43,752 --> 01:04:45,694
in exactly 25 days.
731
01:05:14,281 --> 01:05:17,730
- It feels good...
- It took a lot of work!
732
01:05:17,865 --> 01:05:21,662
- The steering is very precise.
- It's got an Armstrong-type regulator.
733
01:05:28,106 --> 01:05:30,082
Here we are.
734
01:05:35,498 --> 01:05:38,401
Take the bags
to the Stockholm flight, please.
735
01:06:58,736 --> 01:07:01,006
- Goliarda...
- Hi.
736
01:07:01,744 --> 01:07:05,542
Sorry if I woke you...
Hi.
737
01:07:06,673 --> 01:07:09,837
- I'm so worried...
- What time is it?
738
01:07:10,385 --> 01:07:14,314
It's late!
I should be up anyway.
739
01:07:14,448 --> 01:07:17,318
- What happened?
- Nothing...
740
01:07:17,458 --> 01:07:21,451
- But after the talk with Saverio...
- How did it go?
741
01:07:21,585 --> 01:07:23,975
I'm a fool, I wasn't thinking.
742
01:07:24,530 --> 01:07:28,327
Very emotional, inevitably,
after more than six years...
743
01:07:29,170 --> 01:07:32,650
It's incredible how
he doesn't change.
744
01:07:32,786 --> 01:07:35,568
But he did
an amazing job.
745
01:07:35,699 --> 01:07:38,601
- It seemed an absurd idea...
- Yeah... you were saying?
746
01:07:38,738 --> 01:07:41,673
The effect seemed to fall into a void.
747
01:07:42,003 --> 01:07:44,851
- He wasn't there...
- They all vanished.
748
01:07:44,979 --> 01:07:47,500
They can't be found by phone...
749
01:07:48,179 --> 01:07:52,489
Is their indifference normal
after something so important?
750
01:07:52,628 --> 01:07:57,168
The fact they can't be found shows
they're not indifferent at all.
751
01:07:57,299 --> 01:08:00,595
They're struck to their core,
just as we hoped.
752
01:08:01,236 --> 01:08:04,138
We just need to wake them up,
but it's delicate.
753
01:08:04,276 --> 01:08:08,171
It could become a pretext
for a collective collapse.
754
01:08:08,308 --> 01:08:11,091
We have to lead them back
to what they said...
755
01:08:11,700 --> 01:08:14,122
without them realizing it.
756
01:08:15,349 --> 01:08:17,683
Wait... maybe...
757
01:09:48,411 --> 01:09:50,320
Surina, are you sitting there?
758
01:09:53,788 --> 01:09:56,209
Great, you bought a program.
759
01:09:57,020 --> 01:09:58,962
Can I see it?
760
01:10:03,548 --> 01:10:05,458
Then you'll realize...
761
01:10:05,596 --> 01:10:09,458
The nice thing about these little
theaters is there's always a crowd...
762
01:10:09,596 --> 01:10:11,090
At last!
763
01:10:11,804 --> 01:10:14,619
Free us from evil,
we cry to the intellectual
764
01:10:14,748 --> 01:10:17,563
everyone being scandalous
with no one to scandalize.
765
01:10:17,693 --> 01:10:19,995
But which one will free us from evil?
766
01:10:20,125 --> 01:10:23,573
They're all so tied together
they can't even free themselves.
767
01:10:23,710 --> 01:10:26,776
First there's the one
who realizes he's a failure.
768
01:10:26,909 --> 01:10:30,487
Then the purist who stops
abusing his intellect.
769
01:10:30,622 --> 01:10:33,970
The purists have cut off your head
770
01:10:34,110 --> 01:10:37,558
your hands, your legs
and power.
771
01:10:37,694 --> 01:10:42,516
Weren't you going to be
an intellectual?
772
01:10:42,846 --> 01:10:45,367
Now what will you do?
773
01:10:45,502 --> 01:10:49,431
Don't forgive, don't justify.
774
01:10:50,143 --> 01:10:55,358
Put the dead
behind us.
775
01:10:55,487 --> 01:10:57,658
Everything thrown into disorder
776
01:10:57,791 --> 01:11:00,574
burned, broken,
shattered and killed.
777
01:11:00,704 --> 01:11:04,982
We won't turn back,
we won't ask forgiveness.
778
01:11:05,119 --> 01:11:09,462
Don't look for money to repay
the things you had to steal.
779
01:11:09,599 --> 01:11:13,658
When you choose to subvert
you can't seek to please.
780
01:11:13,792 --> 01:11:17,818
- Even if a poor man is exploited...
- Cry my daughter.
781
01:11:18,112 --> 01:11:22,335
This is all life.
782
01:11:22,785 --> 01:11:24,378
For me...
783
01:11:36,514 --> 01:11:40,408
The only thing to do,
I separate, my things...
784
01:11:40,546 --> 01:11:43,481
The father-master won't go away,
even if we kill him.
785
01:11:43,617 --> 01:11:48,058
We'll never be able to rest
until we're able to kill
786
01:11:48,195 --> 01:11:52,286
this horrible embryo inside us
which, for fear of facing change
787
01:11:52,419 --> 01:11:56,762
we protect, warm
and help to breathe!
788
01:12:17,509 --> 01:12:19,778
Invite Dosi and Dal Fabbro...
789
01:12:19,908 --> 01:12:22,843
She sings, get it?
It's very easy...
790
01:12:22,980 --> 01:12:26,690
Are you crazy?
Artists can also help you
791
01:12:26,821 --> 01:12:29,187
to open your mind.
792
01:12:29,317 --> 01:12:32,613
If we don't get back
to basic ideas
793
01:12:32,741 --> 01:12:36,833
we'll forget we're even Communists,
let alone revolutionaries.
794
01:12:37,061 --> 01:12:39,931
Did you call me over
to hear this nonsense?
795
01:12:40,070 --> 01:12:44,325
Hi... we were talking about Marini's
new ballad, which really...
796
01:12:44,454 --> 01:12:48,283
It says that even if you rebel
against the matrix, the system
797
01:12:48,422 --> 01:12:52,285
you carry indelible marks inside
you, that make the rebellion useless.
798
01:12:52,423 --> 01:12:57,027
You totally don't understand,
she starts from that position
799
01:12:57,159 --> 01:13:00,126
in order to show that once
you begin to refuse
800
01:13:00,262 --> 01:13:03,645
you have to go all the way,
with no concessions or compromise.
801
01:13:03,783 --> 01:13:05,758
Clear, right?
802
01:13:05,895 --> 01:13:09,211
Perfectly!
I've no idea what you're on about...
803
01:13:10,279 --> 01:13:14,534
Then it says:
"Don't forgive and don't justify.
804
01:13:14,663 --> 01:13:17,794
Put the dead behind us."
Seems clear to me...
805
01:13:17,928 --> 01:13:21,059
Ok, she says, "put behind"...
806
01:13:21,192 --> 01:13:25,022
but she's on a stage singing,
not risking her life.
807
01:13:25,160 --> 01:13:28,641
What do you risk?
You and all of you...
808
01:13:28,808 --> 01:13:31,677
As soon as Saverio
spoke of a real risk
809
01:13:31,817 --> 01:13:34,665
all your great revolutionary
airs vanished.
810
01:13:34,792 --> 01:13:37,346
For anyone working with
American capital, the risk...
811
01:13:37,481 --> 01:13:39,554
One moment, please.
812
01:13:39,689 --> 01:13:43,781
Who decided what Saverio
told us last night?
813
01:13:43,914 --> 01:13:46,849
- You, perhaps?
- Don't act so amazed!
814
01:13:46,986 --> 01:13:50,282
Who organized us all
to go to Marini's show
815
01:13:50,410 --> 01:13:54,600
instead of a speed course in guerrilla
sharp shooting at the theme park?
816
01:13:54,730 --> 01:13:58,079
- It wasn't a society event.
- What then? A political maneuver?
817
01:13:58,218 --> 01:14:01,185
Good lord! The queen of industry
has awoken!
818
01:14:01,323 --> 01:14:03,778
- Graziella!
- Sorry, Piero...
819
01:14:04,011 --> 01:14:06,880
Don't insult industrialists
in front of their servant Piero...
820
01:14:07,018 --> 01:14:09,921
You enjoy their company too,
Graziella...
821
01:14:10,923 --> 01:14:15,201
- No... he always defends Piero.
- And you attack him... how sweet!
822
01:14:16,683 --> 01:14:19,139
You nauseate me.
823
01:14:19,276 --> 01:14:22,592
Look who's talking
of servants and masters!
824
01:14:22,732 --> 01:14:25,601
We all know how
madame talks...
825
01:14:25,740 --> 01:14:30,562
"Darling, join us in the country, Piero
has such an intellectual master...
826
01:14:30,701 --> 01:14:33,571
How elegant you are..."
And then to us:
827
01:14:33,708 --> 01:14:37,931
"See her varicose veins? She got
her period today, look how she walks.
828
01:14:38,061 --> 01:14:40,428
They're rich,
Why don't they wash?"
829
01:14:40,558 --> 01:14:45,576
Nauseating... if you could see yourself,
you would be too.
830
01:14:45,710 --> 01:14:49,005
"Piero is upset
because Piermaria is sad."
831
01:14:49,134 --> 01:14:54,797
"I'm sad tonight, I need you,
and your piss-pant dog..."
832
01:14:54,926 --> 01:14:56,835
Stop it, Dublino!
833
01:14:57,838 --> 01:15:03,141
Why let him insult her like that?
It's unfair! Poor Graziella...
834
01:15:03,278 --> 01:15:07,054
Listen you asshole American,
I can do without your approval
835
01:15:07,183 --> 01:15:10,926
I'm grown up and don't need any
lessons in ethics and politics...
836
01:15:11,055 --> 01:15:13,357
Stop!
You're drunk.
837
01:15:13,487 --> 01:15:15,757
- Come, Dyana...
- Let go of me!
838
01:15:15,886 --> 01:15:17,797
- Please.
- Let go of me!
839
01:15:17,936 --> 01:15:21,133
Graziella, I spoke for everyone,
even Romani
840
01:15:21,263 --> 01:15:24,046
who's scared
and works with American capital.
841
01:15:24,175 --> 01:15:27,175
Laura's kind to Surina because
she publishes her husband's books...
842
01:15:27,280 --> 01:15:30,509
Me too, and him,
and the guy over there...
843
01:15:30,640 --> 01:15:35,277
You're right Dyana, but hush now
or there'll be a massacre.
844
01:15:35,408 --> 01:15:38,092
Vanni, you're two-faced too...
845
01:15:38,225 --> 01:15:41,094
- Just drop it.
- And Dal Fabbro... obviously.
846
01:15:41,296 --> 01:15:44,166
Don't bad-mouth absent friends.
847
01:15:45,617 --> 01:15:47,592
What are you doing?
848
01:15:48,498 --> 01:15:52,175
Why stop?
I'm here waiting.
849
01:15:52,498 --> 01:15:55,181
Now I'm here you can continue.
850
01:15:55,443 --> 01:16:00,560
- You spoke of me being two-faced?
- Of everyone's, don't be scared.
851
01:16:00,691 --> 01:16:03,625
Go on,
we're here to learn.
852
01:16:04,626 --> 01:16:06,569
It's not worth it.
853
01:16:06,898 --> 01:16:09,746
You should discuss your own affairs.
854
01:16:10,739 --> 01:16:12,299
Apologies.
855
01:16:16,852 --> 01:16:20,463
- So, can I know what happened?
- No.
856
01:16:20,596 --> 01:16:23,760
Until now
I've only heard insults.
857
01:16:23,891 --> 01:16:28,048
Nothing happened,
we saw a show
858
01:16:28,180 --> 01:16:30,482
we started discussing it...
859
01:16:31,828 --> 01:16:34,762
Saverio called me from Belgrade.
860
01:16:34,901 --> 01:16:38,130
He's re-met the contacts
he told us about.
861
01:16:38,261 --> 01:16:41,425
It seems even military resistance
has been won over.
862
01:16:42,100 --> 01:16:44,043
Sorry, Surina.
863
01:16:44,180 --> 01:16:47,891
- It seems?
- These things are delicate.
864
01:16:48,021 --> 01:16:51,851
However, the Liberation Front,
wants a limited, symoblic number...
865
01:16:51,989 --> 01:16:53,898
And our skins?
866
01:16:54,325 --> 01:16:57,490
Sorry, our skins...
Are they symbolic too?
867
01:16:58,006 --> 01:17:02,283
Sure, no worries, we'll just
go to create a little stir.
868
01:17:02,422 --> 01:17:06,546
You can do your film with Che Guevara
and Telli can find an excellent market
869
01:17:06,678 --> 01:17:09,100
for his American napalm soaps...
870
01:17:09,462 --> 01:17:13,903
Listen... I'm going to fight...
and to die, if necessary.
871
01:17:14,039 --> 01:17:15,948
Is that clear?
872
01:17:16,983 --> 01:17:19,285
You've had a revelation...
873
01:17:19,416 --> 01:17:23,409
Lorenza! Do you get
night-time revelations too?
874
01:17:25,751 --> 01:17:28,140
- You're an idiot this evening.
- Maybe.
875
01:17:28,279 --> 01:17:30,549
- Who's that?
- Some guy...
876
01:17:31,160 --> 01:17:34,094
He followed me, didn't believe
I was going to my husband.
877
01:17:34,232 --> 01:17:36,882
I said I'd introduce him,
and up he came.
878
01:17:37,016 --> 01:17:39,405
Cute! Courageous too.
879
01:17:40,825 --> 01:17:42,646
Come...
880
01:17:42,776 --> 01:17:46,322
Enjoy this evening in which
I've been... what did you say?
881
01:17:46,456 --> 01:17:47,950
An idiot.
882
01:17:48,089 --> 01:17:50,510
Want a drink?
Titina, a Pernot.
883
01:17:50,649 --> 01:17:53,945
See? That man there
is her husband.
884
01:17:54,074 --> 01:17:56,343
A pleasure...
So, you like my wife?
885
01:17:56,473 --> 01:17:58,448
Well no, I...
886
01:17:58,585 --> 01:18:00,952
Don't be impolite, we're civil people...
887
01:18:01,530 --> 01:18:03,504
Be more gallant.
888
01:18:04,090 --> 01:18:06,840
- I saw her alone...
- Where are you from?
889
01:18:06,971 --> 01:18:09,392
- Padua.
- Been in Rome long?
890
01:18:09,595 --> 01:18:13,425
- No.
- Let's get back to my wife.
891
01:18:13,562 --> 01:18:18,352
Did my wife behave badly?
You see, she's a former model...
892
01:18:18,587 --> 01:18:21,587
We've only been married a year,
her past...
893
01:18:21,723 --> 01:18:25,847
- What have you got against models?
- That they move and dress like you.
894
01:18:28,284 --> 01:18:31,448
Isn't she scandalous?
Be honest, look.
895
01:18:31,579 --> 01:18:33,684
You can see her ass.
896
01:18:35,708 --> 01:18:37,715
Come with me.
897
01:18:40,860 --> 01:18:43,795
In other words...
let's try to be concrete.
898
01:18:43,933 --> 01:18:48,155
Until this point, Romani doesn't agree
with Saverio's proposal.
899
01:18:48,284 --> 01:18:50,554
I do, Loy does, Telli does...
900
01:18:50,780 --> 01:18:53,596
- Sarchielli too, and you, Dublino?
- No.
901
01:18:55,485 --> 01:18:59,479
Dublino has a contract...
a deal is a deal.
902
01:18:59,645 --> 01:19:03,028
Sorry, Surina, you're wrong,
it's exactly the opposite.
903
01:19:03,165 --> 01:19:05,587
For everyone, even Romani.
904
01:19:05,726 --> 01:19:09,556
With all the statements you've made
in the papers, on foreign television
905
01:19:09,693 --> 01:19:12,149
the commitments to the Party...
906
01:19:12,286 --> 01:19:15,133
The Party won't worry
in the least
907
01:19:15,262 --> 01:19:19,092
if we find a way to pull out,
as you well know.
908
01:19:19,550 --> 01:19:25,267
It seems stupid to create problems over
what's been said and done till now.
909
01:19:25,407 --> 01:19:28,756
It doesn't matter
if I was against this operation
910
01:19:28,895 --> 01:19:32,092
but it'll never be a problem
of formal coherence
911
01:19:32,223 --> 01:19:36,151
if we take the wrong decision,
we're not as trapped as we think.
912
01:19:36,288 --> 01:19:39,833
How long have we been complaining
that we're in the shit...
913
01:19:39,968 --> 01:19:42,423
- Ten years.
- What, sorry?
914
01:19:42,847 --> 01:19:44,636
Or 15.
915
01:19:44,929 --> 01:19:48,244
Or maybe it's 20 years
you've complained of being in shit.
916
01:19:48,384 --> 01:19:53,119
Didn't you ask how long it's been?
Sorry, I'm totally drunk.
917
01:19:53,248 --> 01:19:55,135
No, you're right!
918
01:19:55,264 --> 01:19:57,436
Now we finally have a chance...
919
01:19:57,569 --> 01:20:01,082
A chance for what?
Have we all gone crazy?
920
01:20:01,249 --> 01:20:05,144
Achance to throw away 20 years
of work, effort, hunger!
921
01:20:05,282 --> 01:20:09,111
We worked so hard to get positions
of power, a humble home...
922
01:20:09,250 --> 01:20:14,967
- A little above humble, I'd say.
- Sorry, your's is fabulous, as are...
923
01:20:15,234 --> 01:20:18,530
As are my recordings,
my technological lunacies, etc.
924
01:20:18,658 --> 01:20:21,113
Who knows where you put your money
925
01:20:21,251 --> 01:20:24,120
but for sure
you own a lot more than me.
926
01:20:24,259 --> 01:20:28,154
Enough to be able to lend you some,
when you come asking.
927
01:20:29,474 --> 01:20:33,184
But the point is we've
no reason in the world
928
01:20:33,315 --> 01:20:35,617
to throw it all away.
929
01:20:35,747 --> 01:20:38,781
Let's be clear,
how did all this start?
930
01:20:38,915 --> 01:20:41,087
By chance, by mistake.
931
01:20:41,219 --> 01:20:45,049
With a paper that published
a letter written to another paper
932
01:20:45,188 --> 01:20:48,766
not for publication,
at a boring evening like this one.
933
01:20:48,932 --> 01:20:53,886
Let's not make fun of ourselves...
we're all in the same boat.
934
01:20:54,116 --> 01:20:58,557
Well done Sancho Pancha! Renato gets more
like Sancho Pancha by the day.
935
01:20:58,693 --> 01:21:00,733
- No, Leporello.
- Perfect!
936
01:21:00,869 --> 01:21:04,514
- I'm telling the truth.
- No, you're talking nonsense.
937
01:21:04,645 --> 01:21:08,507
Sancho Pancha talks nonsense
that is also truth and vice versa.
938
01:21:08,645 --> 01:21:11,962
Professor Dal Fabbro exalts the
good sense of couldn't care less.
939
01:21:12,102 --> 01:21:14,175
He's talking about Cervantes!
940
01:21:14,309 --> 01:21:16,219
Well, whatever...
941
01:21:17,702 --> 01:21:22,437
Reducing Sancho Pancha or Leporello to
'whateverism' is stupid and ignorant.
942
01:21:22,566 --> 01:21:27,301
This is no time for joking,
if Saverio has acted irresponsibly
943
01:21:27,430 --> 01:21:32,253
it's equally irresponsible to take
ad hoc polls of "pro and con".
944
01:21:32,903 --> 01:21:36,220
Saverio's story will get out,
or has already.
945
01:21:36,359 --> 01:21:40,254
The Party will take a position...
a negative one.
946
01:21:40,392 --> 01:21:44,548
Only then will the problem become
real for our consciences.
947
01:21:44,680 --> 01:21:47,494
- Let's wait, it's a question of days.
- And the press conference?
948
01:21:47,624 --> 01:21:51,585
- What press conference?
- You suggested it.
949
01:21:51,721 --> 01:21:55,496
- It hasn't been called.
- It has, I called it.
950
01:21:55,624 --> 01:21:58,406
- Postpone it.
- Sorry, impossible.
951
01:21:58,504 --> 01:22:01,635
- Tomorrow at 10, here.
- Here?
952
01:22:02,665 --> 01:22:04,901
Sorry, I forgot to tell you.
953
01:22:05,033 --> 01:22:10,216
3,720,000 lira,
of which 1,720,000 is interest.
954
01:22:10,345 --> 01:22:14,469
I don't want you to think
Mr Romani lends money for free.
955
01:22:16,841 --> 01:22:19,296
No, just the usual rumors.
956
01:22:19,434 --> 01:22:22,816
However when the Vietnamese
National Liberation Front
957
01:22:22,953 --> 01:22:26,500
has nothing better to do than ask
armed aid from European intellectuals
958
01:22:26,634 --> 01:22:29,668
your questions will make sense
and we'll be ready to move.
959
01:22:29,802 --> 01:22:35,815
But so far the liberation army
is doing fine on its own without us.
960
01:22:35,946 --> 01:22:38,881
So why not talk
about something concrete.
961
01:22:39,019 --> 01:22:42,315
For example, the fact that someone
here is tied to foreign capital.
962
01:22:42,348 --> 01:22:43,842
What?
963
01:22:43,979 --> 01:22:47,275
Denials like Dosi's were
expected from the start.
964
01:22:47,403 --> 01:22:50,753
Rumor has it
that Vietnam is ready to accept
965
01:22:50,892 --> 01:22:53,194
your participation
in the war.
966
01:22:53,323 --> 01:22:58,375
Rumors don't count, we won't reply
to your provocative question.
967
01:22:58,509 --> 01:23:00,450
Excuse me, please.
968
01:23:00,589 --> 01:23:05,739
Anyone expecting tasty
and interesting news is mistaken.
969
01:23:05,868 --> 01:23:09,284
Today's press conference
was merely to inform you
970
01:23:09,421 --> 01:23:12,520
of the dimensions
achieved by our campaign.
971
01:23:15,853 --> 01:23:19,651
It couldn't have gone better,
it's even sunny.
972
01:23:19,950 --> 01:23:23,812
To think of all the work put in by
comrade De Marchi, wife of Dublino
973
01:23:23,949 --> 01:23:28,292
to organize a conference and inform
journalists of Saverio's accords...
974
01:23:29,230 --> 01:23:31,467
If I hadn't had the idea
975
01:23:31,598 --> 01:23:34,730
of reminding Vanni of his
responsibility to the Party...
976
01:23:34,862 --> 01:23:38,375
This is what enrages you,
the bad faith, the falsehood...
977
01:23:38,511 --> 01:23:41,381
If only once you
could understand.
978
01:23:44,239 --> 01:23:46,890
It's not bad faith,
it's just the opposite.
979
01:23:47,023 --> 01:23:50,057
It proves we're all
in the same condition
980
01:23:50,191 --> 01:23:52,526
screwed and gratified
by our contradictions
981
01:23:52,656 --> 01:23:56,169
sleepily proud with
our well-oiled conflicts.
982
01:23:56,687 --> 01:24:01,030
And should the romantic self re-awake,
the one of ideals, of rage
983
01:24:01,169 --> 01:24:04,038
Dal Fabbro, or some other
damn teacher, will turn up
984
01:24:04,176 --> 01:24:06,446
and re-awake you to responsibility.
985
01:24:06,576 --> 01:24:11,530
You've always attacked half of Italian
culture for irrationalism and now...
986
01:24:11,665 --> 01:24:13,574
Yes, but...
987
01:24:14,128 --> 01:24:16,300
Irrationalism deserves attack
988
01:24:16,433 --> 01:24:20,263
but so does the deathly and
authoritarian use of reason.
989
01:24:20,593 --> 01:24:24,302
Maybe it's not so. Dosi didn't
profit from the conference...
990
01:24:24,433 --> 01:24:27,564
For me he just
put off taking a position.
991
01:24:28,081 --> 01:24:32,173
He gave nothing away today, but
when the Party says no...
992
01:24:32,306 --> 01:24:34,478
Dosi doesn't worry me.
993
01:24:34,610 --> 01:24:37,927
I'm scared by positions
like Telli's...
994
01:24:38,067 --> 01:24:42,410
the mystic, inspired, contagious ones...
they're more dangerous.
995
01:24:42,547 --> 01:24:45,930
He's a real mystery,
I couldn't believe my ears.
996
01:24:46,067 --> 01:24:50,857
If anyone has sold out to
American capital, it's him!
997
01:24:50,995 --> 01:24:53,930
Have we forgotten
his debut film?
998
01:24:54,068 --> 01:24:56,969
It made everyone uneasy.
999
01:24:57,108 --> 01:25:00,337
It nailed the problems
on their head.
1000
01:25:00,468 --> 01:25:03,369
Besides his talent
for discovering people.
1001
01:25:03,508 --> 01:25:07,785
- You were no one then, remember?
- Sure.
1002
01:25:07,925 --> 01:25:12,235
Someone who betrays his function
as an intellecual as he has...
1003
01:25:12,372 --> 01:25:17,938
now comes out with prophetic,
ascetic, definitive declarations.
1004
01:25:18,101 --> 01:25:22,378
- Without even accepting debate.
- I saw him yesterday...
1005
01:25:22,518 --> 01:25:24,939
He said nothing,
he was relaxed.
1006
01:25:25,077 --> 01:25:30,195
Don't worry about Telli,
I know how to stop his nonsense.
1007
01:25:30,325 --> 01:25:32,235
It's for his own good anyway.
1008
01:25:32,374 --> 01:25:37,492
Piero too... I don't know if
he was serious or joking last night.
1009
01:25:37,622 --> 01:25:41,877
Piero is never serious, I'll talk
to him, he always listens to me.
1010
01:25:42,006 --> 01:25:45,072
Piero loves life too much
to risk death.
1011
01:25:45,207 --> 01:25:48,109
And you love him
too much to let him.
1012
01:25:48,247 --> 01:25:52,208
When he worked with me and we
were together, I was jealous.
1013
01:25:53,719 --> 01:25:55,279
Hi.
1014
01:25:57,784 --> 01:25:59,726
How did it go?
1015
01:25:59,864 --> 01:26:02,165
Why did you take the jeep?
1016
01:26:02,296 --> 01:26:05,198
Don't worry,
I'll pay you the rental with interest.
1017
01:26:17,464 --> 01:26:20,781
Maybe I was wrong,
but you can't expect me to have
1018
01:26:20,920 --> 01:26:25,263
the un-biased mentality you have,
I can't believe the maneuvers.
1019
01:26:26,713 --> 01:26:29,331
- Trusting each other...
- I don't trust us.
1020
01:26:29,465 --> 01:26:31,800
After an official disavowal
by the Party...
1021
01:26:31,930 --> 01:26:34,101
Sorry, I've got to go.
1022
01:26:34,361 --> 01:26:39,730
I've a meeting with Dal Fabbro...
he asked me for a private talk.
1023
01:26:41,594 --> 01:26:44,213
- Cheers, tomorrow.
- Bye.
1024
01:26:44,346 --> 01:26:47,193
- Bye, everyone.
- Bye, enjoy!
1025
01:26:47,771 --> 01:26:49,681
See? We can't trust each other...
1026
01:26:49,818 --> 01:26:53,681
Right, I should have nailed them
with the press this morning.
1027
01:26:54,106 --> 01:26:57,009
- Anything doing with Dublino?
- No, no way.
1028
01:26:57,147 --> 01:27:00,725
One way might work...
kill Surina.
1029
01:27:03,068 --> 01:27:04,694
Sorry...
1030
01:27:06,780 --> 01:27:09,627
He's got this way of saying things...
1031
01:27:10,812 --> 01:27:15,635
There's a formula,
you and I need to write a communique.
1032
01:27:15,772 --> 01:27:18,193
Romani has authorized me
to sign for him.
1033
01:27:18,333 --> 01:27:21,268
With Dublino we'll be
four out of seven.
1034
01:27:21,404 --> 01:27:24,274
We'll call the agencies,
and in an hour
1035
01:27:24,445 --> 01:27:26,998
every paper will have it.
1036
01:27:27,134 --> 01:27:30,930
Come on Nino, don't be absurd.
What are you thinking?
1037
01:27:31,069 --> 01:27:34,386
This isn't just about our friends,
but everyone
1038
01:27:34,558 --> 01:27:37,722
simple people
who only know us for our names.
1039
01:27:37,854 --> 01:27:40,089
Collective psychosis, Piero.
1040
01:27:40,222 --> 01:27:43,223
American sociologists
didn't just invent it.
1041
01:27:43,486 --> 01:27:46,356
If we don't withdraw
immediately
1042
01:27:46,493 --> 01:27:49,396
it'll look like an act
of submission to the Party.
1043
01:27:49,534 --> 01:27:54,237
I don't know... these days
I don't like anything you say.
1044
01:27:54,623 --> 01:27:57,972
This attitude of yours
escapes me.
1045
01:27:58,112 --> 01:28:00,981
Now you're scared
of submitting to the Party...
1046
01:28:01,119 --> 01:28:05,941
Find a formula... you're siding
with those who consider us
1047
01:28:06,111 --> 01:28:10,006
for what we are and are not...
rather than what we could be.
1048
01:28:10,143 --> 01:28:12,599
If you're looking for their approval...
1049
01:28:14,144 --> 01:28:17,821
No, you miss the point,
because they're starting...
1050
01:28:18,752 --> 01:28:20,825
from a non-scientific analysis,
1051
01:28:20,960 --> 01:28:24,157
therefore they believe in a
pre-revolutionary situation.
1052
01:28:24,289 --> 01:28:27,323
Or do you too believe
the revolution will happen tomorrow?
1053
01:28:29,793 --> 01:28:32,827
You're scared
of being judged anyway...
1054
01:28:33,378 --> 01:28:37,721
either seeking approval,
or exposing your worst side.
1055
01:28:38,626 --> 01:28:43,230
As for the revolution tomorrow, Nino...
you know that's not the point.
1056
01:28:43,362 --> 01:28:47,224
Remember that Gramsci article?
"Communists never said
1057
01:28:47,394 --> 01:28:51,071
the revolution was simply
a question of will.
1058
01:28:51,202 --> 01:28:54,585
Aquestion of will
is the transformation of the Party."
1059
01:28:54,722 --> 01:28:57,089
Regarding the Party...
1060
01:28:58,019 --> 01:29:00,888
Given that we're members
of the Communist Party
1061
01:29:01,026 --> 01:29:03,962
or at least have never left it...
1062
01:29:04,099 --> 01:29:06,849
we should give
a coherent signal.
1063
01:29:06,980 --> 01:29:11,388
Even if the roof falls on our heads,
we're obliged to go
1064
01:29:11,523 --> 01:29:13,149
to the bitter end.
1065
01:29:13,700 --> 01:29:15,936
There are other arguments...
1066
01:29:16,068 --> 01:29:19,548
Going to fight in Vietnam
is to flee from reality.
1067
01:29:20,164 --> 01:29:23,481
A key rule in any
political-revolutionary work
1068
01:29:23,620 --> 01:29:28,410
is to always operate
in your own socio-historic context.
1069
01:29:28,549 --> 01:29:31,451
If the Vietnamese staged
a revolution in Italy
1070
01:29:31,589 --> 01:29:36,445
Brazilians in Ireland, Greeks in
Indonesia, no revolution would succeed.
1071
01:29:36,901 --> 01:29:39,803
Do you want other arguments,
or do you prefer examples?
1072
01:29:40,134 --> 01:29:42,501
All valid, convincing, real.
1073
01:29:42,854 --> 01:29:45,058
But all false...
1074
01:29:46,247 --> 01:29:49,181
because they see your departure
for Vietnam as a real fact.
1075
01:29:49,318 --> 01:29:51,740
- What is it then?
- An exercise.
1076
01:29:52,710 --> 01:29:55,199
A movement of
spastic breathing
1077
01:29:55,335 --> 01:29:59,164
an artificial convulsion...
mechanical...
1078
01:29:59,783 --> 01:30:04,322
macabre, maybe, but you've no choice,
because you're in that mortal belly...
1079
01:30:04,711 --> 01:30:06,750
deep inside the whale.
1080
01:30:07,431 --> 01:30:09,798
Or have you forgotten Jonah?
1081
01:30:10,951 --> 01:30:13,821
No, Goliarda, but we keep
coming back to that.
1082
01:30:14,440 --> 01:30:18,783
Since the Party has us in its belly
and won't throw us out
1083
01:30:18,919 --> 01:30:21,189
what's the point in reacting?
1084
01:30:21,319 --> 01:30:23,807
The Party, the Party, the Party...
1085
01:30:24,680 --> 01:30:29,120
I'll write an essay as soon as
I've done this damn library research.
1086
01:30:29,256 --> 01:30:31,296
On Party victimism.
1087
01:30:31,432 --> 01:30:35,295
- On the parable of Jonah?
- No Dublino, you never understood...
1088
01:30:35,561 --> 01:30:37,471
that parable.
1089
01:30:37,609 --> 01:30:41,438
The whale that traps Jonah in its
belly isn't the Party, it's history.
1090
01:30:41,577 --> 01:30:46,335
In there, trapped like Jonah,
are the Western Communist parties.
1091
01:30:46,474 --> 01:30:49,474
History doesn't run
in straight lines.
1092
01:30:49,610 --> 01:30:53,505
It stops, sometimes waits,
that's the problem.
1093
01:30:53,643 --> 01:30:55,814
How to fill the waiting.
1094
01:30:55,946 --> 01:30:58,401
Careful...
because that's the point.
1095
01:30:58,538 --> 01:31:02,368
Lf, when the time comes, on the beach
of destruction before Ninevah
1096
01:31:02,506 --> 01:31:05,409
half a Jonah is spat out,
numbed by immobility
1097
01:31:05,546 --> 01:31:08,394
worn down by parliament
and by Surina
1098
01:31:08,523 --> 01:31:12,003
there'll be no historic checkmate
or errant analysis, just betrayal.
1099
01:32:37,999 --> 01:32:41,797
Sure...
of course the Party will support you.
1100
01:32:41,937 --> 01:32:44,555
I'm amazed that
you're amazed.
1101
01:32:44,689 --> 01:32:47,656
At least something still amazes you.
1102
01:32:47,793 --> 01:32:51,110
As far as our mistakes are concerned,
I stopped a while ago.
1103
01:32:51,249 --> 01:32:54,894
- When you stopped making them, maybe.
- That is?
1104
01:32:55,058 --> 01:32:57,709
That is?
What do you mean?
1105
01:32:58,226 --> 01:33:01,160
Maybe you've forgotten
1106
01:33:01,298 --> 01:33:05,454
the climate in the Cultural Commission
with you and your sectarianism.
1107
01:33:05,618 --> 01:33:09,841
Your terrorist attacks
against everyone, and all that.
1108
01:33:09,971 --> 01:33:13,319
Telli, who first you exalt, then
condemn without appeal
1109
01:33:13,459 --> 01:33:16,493
the meetings to convince
critics to destroy...
1110
01:33:16,627 --> 01:33:21,449
No, let Faggioni speak,
he knows all about this stuff.
1111
01:33:21,587 --> 01:33:24,435
He spent two years with me...
Without help
1112
01:33:24,563 --> 01:33:28,458
from Graziella's father he'd never
be running that publishing house.
1113
01:33:28,596 --> 01:33:30,962
- Drop it, Dal Fabbro.
- Drop it my ass!
1114
01:33:31,092 --> 01:33:35,980
While I was spitting blood to set
real political directions...
1115
01:33:36,116 --> 01:33:40,011
To launch a triumphant
university career...
1116
01:33:40,596 --> 01:33:42,572
Excuse me, no!
1117
01:33:43,061 --> 01:33:46,891
Piero got the publishing house,
but the Italian Literature Chair
1118
01:33:47,028 --> 01:33:50,444
wasn't a waste of those years,
and if we want to go deeper...
1119
01:33:50,581 --> 01:33:53,680
Enough! Enough!
Are we joking?
1120
01:33:54,294 --> 01:33:57,261
Brandi hasn't come
to wash our dirty laundry
1121
01:33:57,397 --> 01:34:00,693
but to discuss a shared
line of action with the Party
1122
01:34:00,822 --> 01:34:05,132
on our trip to Vietnam and organization
of the International Culture Brigade.
1123
01:34:05,398 --> 01:34:09,195
And while we're in the mood
for precision, let's not forget
1124
01:34:09,334 --> 01:34:12,498
that the whole Party was mistaken,
not just him.
1125
01:34:12,887 --> 01:34:17,142
Ok, Dosi, but I don't think Brandi
has come to discuss anything.
1126
01:34:17,271 --> 01:34:20,620
He's just left us breathless
saying the Party supports us.
1127
01:34:20,759 --> 01:34:23,955
- Sorry, Brandi.
- No need to apologize.
1128
01:34:26,103 --> 01:34:28,492
Comrades, if you don't mind
1129
01:34:28,632 --> 01:34:31,566
it's time to stop
making fun of ourselves.
1130
01:34:31,703 --> 01:34:35,315
Not only do the developments of your
initiative go against Party lines
1131
01:34:35,448 --> 01:34:38,514
but against any
formulation of the problem.
1132
01:34:38,680 --> 01:34:42,160
Sorry, Brandi,
you can skip the explanations.
1133
01:34:42,520 --> 01:34:47,310
We all know the catechism,
so we also know you're wrong.
1134
01:34:47,449 --> 01:34:51,094
Yes, exactly, you're wrong,
methodically.
1135
01:34:51,224 --> 01:34:55,567
When many comrades like us
throughout Europe
1136
01:34:55,705 --> 01:34:59,349
find themselves choosing
an anomalous revolutionary action
1137
01:34:59,481 --> 01:35:03,922
this can only mean that something
serious is lacking in the Party.
1138
01:35:04,089 --> 01:35:06,959
It has to be
its responsibility.
1139
01:35:07,098 --> 01:35:10,710
- Remember what Lenin said...
- On anarchists, ok.
1140
01:35:11,355 --> 01:35:13,973
In fact, the Party supports you.
1141
01:35:14,394 --> 01:35:17,012
Its decision
was responsible.
1142
01:35:17,146 --> 01:35:21,172
It will support your action
and the International Culture Brigade.
1143
01:35:21,307 --> 01:35:25,202
I've lost you, now the Party
is making fun of us.
1144
01:35:25,339 --> 01:35:29,169
If it's only supporting us
out of tactics, political realism
1145
01:35:29,307 --> 01:35:31,990
that's different, it changes everything!
1146
01:35:32,123 --> 01:35:35,025
The Party supports you
because it's obliged to...
1147
01:35:35,292 --> 01:35:37,747
as you yourselves are obliged.
1148
01:35:38,076 --> 01:35:40,760
The rest is chit-chat,
with those guys winning...
1149
01:35:40,892 --> 01:35:43,161
- Who?
- The usual ones.
1150
01:35:43,772 --> 01:35:48,562
They spread through the Party
to lure it ever more to the Left.
1151
01:35:48,893 --> 01:35:51,762
To "shift it", as they say.
1152
01:35:51,900 --> 01:35:54,235
Or should we pretend not to understand?
1153
01:35:58,557 --> 01:36:01,818
See you tomorrow
for the meetings calendar. Bye.
1154
01:36:01,917 --> 01:36:04,373
You stay in bed
on Sundays too.
1155
01:36:04,509 --> 01:36:06,681
Your husband was furious.
1156
01:36:06,813 --> 01:36:08,952
I can use your place too.
1157
01:36:09,086 --> 01:36:13,723
Why do you push me away,
when I only touched it?
1158
01:36:13,854 --> 01:36:17,279
The communique and meetings
calendar come out tomorrow.
1159
01:36:17,312 --> 01:36:19,766
Graziella, it's done, drop it...
1160
01:36:21,085 --> 01:36:23,192
They're going.
1161
01:36:23,326 --> 01:36:27,123
They've trapped themselves
in the most stupid way possible.
1162
01:36:28,062 --> 01:36:30,398
The usual factionist accusation.
1163
01:36:30,431 --> 01:36:34,294
That too... nothing serious!
Really? Lord no!
1164
01:36:52,768 --> 01:36:54,939
We're done, I think.
1165
01:36:55,073 --> 01:36:57,309
Shall I phone the others?
1166
01:36:57,441 --> 01:37:00,474
- No, directly.
- Yes, it's better.
1167
01:37:00,609 --> 01:37:03,511
Did you see the chaos
in Bologna?
1168
01:37:03,649 --> 01:37:06,649
- They nailed Ambrosino too.
- He was already conditional...
1169
01:37:07,010 --> 01:37:09,912
Do you know Piero Faggioni?
Mario, Enrico, Carlo.
1170
01:37:10,049 --> 01:37:12,602
Of course we know him, from photos.
1171
01:37:14,753 --> 01:37:16,925
- He's better in person.
- Hi.
1172
01:37:17,058 --> 01:37:19,163
Sorry, may I?
1173
01:37:19,298 --> 01:37:21,437
- Thank you.
- A pleasure.
1174
01:37:21,569 --> 01:37:26,523
- Can I ask you something, professor?
- I'm not a professor.
1175
01:37:26,659 --> 01:37:30,456
If you're leaving can I ask you
to leave us something dear
1176
01:37:30,595 --> 01:37:32,504
...but not in the sense of costly...
1177
01:37:32,643 --> 01:37:36,255
A revolutionary movement
always needs funds...
1178
01:37:36,387 --> 01:37:40,130
Sure, in order to accelerate
the coming of the revolution...
1179
01:37:40,259 --> 01:37:42,169
- Bye, Claudio.
- Bye.
1180
01:37:42,308 --> 01:37:45,788
- Good luck... kill lots of Americans.
- For sure.
1181
01:37:45,924 --> 01:37:49,372
- What, sorry?
- Fuck off, bye.
1182
01:37:55,717 --> 01:37:59,033
- Claudia, where are you?
- Have they gone?
1183
01:37:59,172 --> 01:38:01,790
Didn't you hear the door shut?
1184
01:38:05,413 --> 01:38:07,868
- What are you doing?
- Stripping.
1185
01:38:08,006 --> 01:38:10,340
I thought we'd make love...
1186
01:38:13,350 --> 01:38:16,219
- How long have you known those kids?
- Three weeks.
1187
01:38:16,390 --> 01:38:20,351
- Since the Physics Faculty occupation.
- You didn't tell me.
1188
01:38:22,374 --> 01:38:23,901
Ok.
1189
01:38:24,742 --> 01:38:27,360
- You've joined the fight...
- It's needed.
1190
01:38:28,421 --> 01:38:29,949
Sure.
1191
01:38:30,407 --> 01:38:33,189
It's important for your life.
1192
01:38:34,567 --> 01:38:36,509
I get it, sorry...
1193
01:38:36,647 --> 01:38:39,680
I'm talking
like a cartoon character!
1194
01:38:40,871 --> 01:38:43,327
Sure... my famous irony.
1195
01:38:43,911 --> 01:38:45,406
Bye.
1196
01:38:52,392 --> 01:38:54,432
You've got all these magazines!
1197
01:38:54,568 --> 01:38:57,829
"Quaderni Piacentini"...
Have you seen Giuliana?
1198
01:38:57,960 --> 01:39:00,830
- Forget it!
- I only meant you're good.
1199
01:39:00,968 --> 01:39:02,529
Sure.
1200
01:39:05,257 --> 01:39:09,315
- God, these pills...
- Who said they're magic?
1201
01:39:09,450 --> 01:39:12,712
A cretin, a real cretin,
in fact, a total cretin.
1202
01:39:12,840 --> 01:39:16,256
- Know what I mean?
- We got it, a cretin.
1203
01:39:16,393 --> 01:39:18,848
But relax,
you're not well.
1204
01:39:25,386 --> 01:39:27,491
I decide.
1205
01:39:50,220 --> 01:39:55,010
Brandi? Dosi's still in bed, Nino
hung up, I'll see Romani tomorrow.
1206
01:39:55,564 --> 01:39:57,931
Yes, sure,
I lied.
1207
01:39:58,060 --> 01:40:01,802
What's worse is how I feel
over this Vietnam thing...
1208
01:40:01,933 --> 01:40:05,064
Sorry...
where does Vietnam come in?
1209
01:40:05,197 --> 01:40:07,563
Nothing, me and politics...
1210
01:40:08,109 --> 01:40:10,378
But we were talking about you.
1211
01:40:10,541 --> 01:40:14,119
You always told me it was
the drama of your lives...
1212
01:40:14,444 --> 01:40:17,761
you could never do those things that...
1213
01:40:18,285 --> 01:40:22,595
I mean, actions similar
to your ideas, remember?
1214
01:40:23,150 --> 01:40:27,623
The first night when I was doing
publicity for Telli's agency and...
1215
01:40:27,758 --> 01:40:30,628
Please, darling,
try to reason.
1216
01:40:30,766 --> 01:40:35,109
Besides the fact that I never said
"the drama of our lives"
1217
01:40:35,246 --> 01:40:39,557
the dispute, the frustration...
the absurdity, in a certain sense
1218
01:40:39,695 --> 01:40:42,477
for those of our generation
1219
01:40:42,607 --> 01:40:45,804
was to begin with the aim
of changing the world
1220
01:40:45,935 --> 01:40:48,269
only to find ourselves sunk inside it.
1221
01:40:48,399 --> 01:40:51,333
But isn't that what
Vietnam is all about?
1222
01:40:51,471 --> 01:40:55,400
Even you said you couldn't join
out of Party loyalty...
1223
01:40:55,535 --> 01:40:58,764
That's not it. The Party
gave way and got it wrong.
1224
01:40:58,896 --> 01:41:02,213
We've seen a lot of Party
mistakes in 24 years.
1225
01:41:02,352 --> 01:41:07,142
As for me, I no longer have
the energy, age or impulse
1226
01:41:07,281 --> 01:41:11,983
for getting involved...
in revolutionary actions.
1227
01:41:13,393 --> 01:41:15,630
Especially that kind!
1228
01:41:17,489 --> 01:41:20,271
- What's funny?
- Nothing...
1229
01:41:20,562 --> 01:41:25,351
I was thinking of something
you said one morning.
1230
01:41:26,385 --> 01:41:28,173
What?
1231
01:41:29,297 --> 01:41:31,240
Yes, wait.
1232
01:41:32,530 --> 01:41:34,090
It was...
1233
01:41:34,898 --> 01:41:38,695
It's harder to accept
you count...
1234
01:41:39,155 --> 01:41:43,083
and so have no more excuses
for pulling back
1235
01:41:43,218 --> 01:41:45,422
than to declare the opposite.
1236
01:41:45,971 --> 01:41:49,069
To say: "I'm on. Deal me in"...
1237
01:41:50,163 --> 01:41:53,011
That time you weren't lying.
1238
01:41:57,396 --> 01:41:58,989
It's blackmail!
1239
01:41:59,156 --> 01:42:02,255
What does Vietnam have to do with,
Karen, Claudia, Telli?
1240
01:42:02,387 --> 01:42:04,297
Enough!
1241
01:42:04,500 --> 01:42:08,362
You're going to Vietnam for those
notary papers, isn't that what you want?
1242
01:42:08,500 --> 01:42:10,355
You want to know what I want!?
1243
01:42:11,284 --> 01:42:13,837
- What do you want?
- No, what do you want?
1244
01:42:13,973 --> 01:42:15,915
For you to leave!
1245
01:42:16,149 --> 01:42:19,051
- No way!
- I meant him!
1246
01:42:22,869 --> 01:42:24,974
- Hi.
- Hi!
1247
01:42:25,109 --> 01:42:26,636
Out!
1248
01:42:28,949 --> 01:42:31,797
You repaid Telli for ten years
1249
01:42:31,925 --> 01:42:35,308
but now he's blackmailing you
over this Vietnam thing!
1250
01:42:37,526 --> 01:42:41,324
I knew it...
Ugly son of a bitch.
1251
01:42:41,462 --> 01:42:45,838
Aren't you ashamed of listening
behind doors like an old servant.
1252
01:42:46,390 --> 01:42:47,917
Come.
1253
01:42:48,215 --> 01:42:50,581
Come and listen to this madame.
1254
01:42:51,671 --> 01:42:55,501
This madame whore,
this filthy whore.
1255
01:42:56,183 --> 01:43:01,005
Go on, repeat what you did
to Pietro... Go on!
1256
01:43:01,176 --> 01:43:03,348
Go on, do it.
1257
01:43:22,329 --> 01:43:24,718
Please, call Mr Dosi
on the door phone.
1258
01:43:24,857 --> 01:43:27,705
- He went to the airport.
- He's out.
1259
01:43:29,209 --> 01:43:31,152
- Good day.
- Good day.
1260
01:44:57,598 --> 01:45:00,315
Look... this is crazy!
1261
01:45:00,447 --> 01:45:03,131
Crazy!
Come and look.
1262
01:45:05,886 --> 01:45:08,636
What a mess, a pigsty!
1263
01:45:08,767 --> 01:45:10,839
It makes me...
1264
01:45:12,576 --> 01:45:17,693
You haven't thought how those
two kids will be when you're gone.
1265
01:45:17,984 --> 01:45:21,115
It's easy to say "I'm off to Vietnam".
1266
01:46:42,821 --> 01:46:46,531
This is why Vietnam
has less meaning to us
1267
01:46:46,661 --> 01:46:49,084
but for the same reasoning.
1268
01:46:49,221 --> 01:46:54,043
To cut our bridges, to end forever
our complicity with a system
1269
01:46:54,182 --> 01:46:58,492
that wears down, digests
and uses... people and ideas.
1270
01:47:07,719 --> 01:47:10,620
I just heard and called you.
1271
01:47:11,367 --> 01:47:15,710
Can't we make the departure...
official.
1272
01:47:16,007 --> 01:47:18,560
Stop demolishing everything.
1273
01:47:21,000 --> 01:47:25,256
Drop it, Renato, who's being dramatic?
Well, really...
1274
01:47:25,384 --> 01:47:28,733
We're now under the Party wing...
at the highest level.
1275
01:47:31,624 --> 01:47:33,959
Yes, from Rome... thanks.
1276
01:47:36,328 --> 01:47:39,624
Hi, Piermaria, I did everything.
Ribotti has accepted.
1277
01:47:39,753 --> 01:47:43,681
He came, saw everything, and will be
in Milan tomorrow for the contract.
1278
01:47:44,105 --> 01:47:46,277
Us? The day after tomorrow.
1279
01:47:46,409 --> 01:47:48,679
Yes, Boh�me, Mimi's death...
1280
01:47:48,809 --> 01:47:53,731
What? No, no television, it'll be
an almost clandestine departure.
1281
01:47:54,378 --> 01:47:55,939
When?
1282
01:47:56,362 --> 01:47:59,679
Is it irreparable?
Boring, huh?
1283
01:47:59,817 --> 01:48:02,665
Yes, first Belgrade,
and from there...
1284
01:48:02,890 --> 01:48:07,811
We need a gathering place, do you
have the keys to Surina's villa?
1285
01:48:08,043 --> 01:48:09,537
Fantastic!
1286
01:48:09,675 --> 01:48:12,937
Ok, with this
we've finished.
1287
01:48:13,291 --> 01:48:17,699
I only hope our much-criticized
co-management of the company
1288
01:48:17,836 --> 01:48:19,843
can now be useful to you.
1289
01:48:19,979 --> 01:48:22,500
- Goodbye.
- Bye, soon.
1290
01:48:22,668 --> 01:48:25,188
- Goodbye.
- Goodbye.
1291
01:48:55,182 --> 01:48:58,313
Your tea, engineer.
1292
01:49:00,078 --> 01:49:03,723
- Yes, I saw it all.
- Even the avenue is well kept.
1293
01:49:03,886 --> 01:49:06,788
- Gino, I need a favor.
- Tell me, Mr Dublino.
1294
01:49:06,926 --> 01:49:11,683
Take our cars to Rome, here are the
keys, I'll get you our addresses.
1295
01:49:13,134 --> 01:49:17,096
Does that mean you'll be
residing here?
1296
01:49:17,231 --> 01:49:19,336
No, we're waiting for a coach...
1297
01:49:19,471 --> 01:49:23,149
Poor guy, the butler's
going crazy.
1298
01:49:23,695 --> 01:49:26,314
- What a story!
- Right...
1299
01:49:27,183 --> 01:49:30,445
These sounds are moving...
the silence...
1300
01:49:33,808 --> 01:49:36,229
- Hear that silence?
- Sure.
1301
01:49:37,776 --> 01:49:42,152
The wind, the clean air,
the renovating purity of nature.
1302
01:49:43,313 --> 01:49:47,623
- That doubt was all we needed.
- I only meant the silence.
1303
01:49:52,913 --> 01:49:55,334
The countess hasn't visited.
1304
01:49:55,505 --> 01:49:58,156
The last time was with you in August.
1305
01:49:58,290 --> 01:50:01,192
Right...
Surina is also a countess.
1306
01:50:01,330 --> 01:50:05,040
They always come, the count
and countess as well...
1307
01:50:06,322 --> 01:50:08,744
With things these days...
1308
01:50:09,107 --> 01:50:13,384
Naturally they prefer
to travel abroad
1309
01:50:13,522 --> 01:50:17,451
rather than come to the country,
which might be better.
1310
01:50:17,810 --> 01:50:20,713
And they criticize the spread
of culture in Italy!
1311
01:50:20,851 --> 01:50:24,975
- A butler who reads Checkov...
- And makes it his own "J'accuse"!
1312
01:50:37,715 --> 01:50:39,276
Thanks.
1313
01:50:39,669 --> 01:50:43,946
- What about the plane?
- It was refueling at dawn.
1314
01:50:44,948 --> 01:50:49,291
- What if at the last moment...
- This air makes me hungry!
1315
01:50:49,781 --> 01:50:53,643
- Does the plane have permission?
- Yes, relax.
1316
01:50:54,229 --> 01:50:58,158
These aren't official accords,
just the usual Italian-style wink.
1317
01:50:58,293 --> 01:51:02,930
Don't make a fuss, and we'll let you
rid yourselves of 35 undesirables.
1318
01:51:03,062 --> 01:51:06,674
- The perfection of the system.
- We've got a Marcusian Dublino!
1319
01:51:07,574 --> 01:51:11,535
Explain why the Economic Right
doesn't want us to go
1320
01:51:11,670 --> 01:51:15,018
and the government that represents it
makes us go?
1321
01:51:15,830 --> 01:51:18,645
Without the dialectic
that Marcuse forgot...
1322
01:51:18,774 --> 01:51:23,314
I just meant that there's
only one enemy, the system.
1323
01:51:23,447 --> 01:51:25,835
- No.
- Who, then?
1324
01:51:29,015 --> 01:51:31,186
The other one.
1325
01:51:31,991 --> 01:51:35,155
The one we always forget...
1326
01:51:35,895 --> 01:51:39,060
The one that grows inside us.
1327
01:51:44,184 --> 01:51:46,519
Conformity is a powerful enemy.
1328
01:51:54,457 --> 01:51:58,134
There, wait...
That must be the car.
1329
01:52:18,011 --> 01:52:21,458
- Saverio?!
- We've been an hour finding you.
1330
01:52:22,811 --> 01:52:26,266
Comrades, unfortunately there's
unexpected news.
1331
01:52:26,300 --> 01:52:28,209
I'm very sorry.
1332
01:52:28,347 --> 01:52:32,657
The Vietnamese Central Committe
has ruled negatively
1333
01:52:33,115 --> 01:52:35,669
on the International
Culture Brigade.
1334
01:52:39,324 --> 01:52:42,739
I got this message
last night.
1335
01:52:43,452 --> 01:52:47,446
There was a big argument,
a three-day battle.
1336
01:52:47,579 --> 01:52:51,541
In the end it decided
to maintain the old line.
1337
01:52:51,741 --> 01:52:54,129
To avoid all foreign participation.
1338
01:53:00,029 --> 01:53:02,899
Sorry Piero, I have to show it
to the others.
1339
01:53:03,037 --> 01:53:06,833
I have to go back and block
the groups in Pisa and Modena.
1340
01:53:06,974 --> 01:53:09,178
I came as soon as I could...
1341
01:53:14,142 --> 01:53:16,051
What can I say?
1342
01:53:19,647 --> 01:53:24,567
Sorry, how do I get to the highway?
I get lost on these country roads...
1343
01:53:28,383 --> 01:53:30,293
Like this.
1344
01:53:30,430 --> 01:53:33,780
Turn right outside the gate,
take the second left
1345
01:53:33,919 --> 01:53:37,018
after the beech wood,
and you'll see the Aurelia road.
1346
01:53:37,854 --> 01:53:42,230
- I get it.
- It's 7-800 meters, but very bumpy.
1347
01:53:42,367 --> 01:53:46,524
You saw that coming in.
Don't go wrong at the fork.
1348
01:53:46,656 --> 01:53:49,885
You'll see a crumpled
yellow sign.
1349
01:53:50,625 --> 01:53:52,119
Thanks.
1350
01:53:59,680 --> 01:54:02,047
- Shall I reload the cars?
- Yes.
1351
01:54:02,177 --> 01:54:05,919
If you want more room,
I can put the bags in storage.
1352
01:54:07,169 --> 01:54:09,820
- Yes, that would be better.
- Right.
1353
01:54:09,953 --> 01:54:12,059
Egre, help me!
1354
01:56:03,080 --> 01:56:08,994
THE END
