All language subtitles for Baba Yaga

When we were too
few left to fight,

we packed our tents

and went down
to Pine Ridge.

There were already many
Lakotas and many soldiers there

facing each other in two rows,

pointing their guns.

And we went between
those two rows

and this is how it all ended.

When I look back from the
high mountain of my old-age

I can still see the
slaughtered women and children

piled up along that ravine.

Silence. You are
offending America

The United
States of America

Look at us, long-hair...

We are the United
States of America

This sky, this
grass belongs to us

as it belonged
to our ancestors.

Nonsense, we
bought it from you.

You can take back
your coloured beads

I offer this as a sacrifice.

Look at my action
with kindness.

The day of the sun
has been my strength.

The path of the
moon will be my cloak.

A sacred praise I make.

We cannot tolerate this
violence and this looting anymore,

we cannot and we must not.

We will not surrender to an
irresponsible minority of rebels

who try to destabilise authority.

We will take all
the necessary measures

to punish whoever
supports violence

and to re-establish order.

Look out. The police are coming.

Let's go...

Come Valentina...

The limit of these
political newspapers

is that they can only
reach very few people

who in any case
already know about the issue.

They agree with it

or they pretend to be.

Anyway,

with your work,
you've fully demonstrated

that even with a comic strip,

one can contribute

to make a revolutionary statement.

Of course,

Even Snoopy himself
is a subversive.

Where were you?

What a race.

Sandro let me try his Suzuki.

Well, let's say that
I gave in to violence.

You are adorable.

I want to take a
picture of you:

naked in a corn field.

Let's talk about
it in the summer.

You got it wrong, brother.

Valentina Rossetti
takes her own pictures.

A photographer?

She only does fashion, advertising,
arts, politics, reportage...

Ever heard of Cartier-Bresson?

What's Cartier-Bresson
got to do with it?

It is one of the
pseudonyms of Valentina.

Well, it's easier for you:
paper and ink

don't cost you much.

But if you made films,
like I do,

costs escalate to millions.

It is not necessarily so.

Your friend
Godard for example

demonstrated that it's
not always the case.

Well Godard is
always Godard,

don't you
think Valentina?

I don't know, I still
prefer Laurel and Hardy.

And as far as your
idol is concerned

I think he reached his
peak with "Pierrot le Fou".

You don't understand anything.

Are you going back
to Milan tonight?

Yes, with Giorgio,

if I manage to drag him

out of that mount
of cartoon comics.

Could you give me a lift?

Yes, but I am
driving a sports-car,

you will have to
sit on Arno's knees.

Why not?

I feel like walking.

Thanks for the lift, Giorgio.

Wait for me.

Be reasonable,
for goodness sake.

Walking from
here to your house

it takes at least half an hour.

It's already three
o'clock in the morning.

I like the night.

Also, it is really cold.

Cold is my drug.

Now you know it.

And if you bump
into somebody?

At least let me come
with you for a while.

Listen to me.

I don't feel like
making love to you.

Not tonight.

And run home.

At this time of night...

...all the boy scouts are asleep.

So?

How did it go?

She's as difficult as a horse.

And who are you?

The Big Bad Wolf?

What are you
doing out so late?

You should go home,
you know?

What a strange mark.

You're sweet,

you look like a cuddly toy.

Goodnight, doggy.

Careful.

I am really sorry, miss.

I cannot understand
how it could happen.

It's nothing.

It was my fault.

There was a dog in the
middle of the street...

Please.
Get into my car.

- Let me take you home.

Thank you but I live close by.

After giving you such a fright.

It's the least I can do.

Don't say no.

Alright.

It wasn't a dog.

I beg your pardon?

I was going very fast.

I knew something
was about to happen.

We were destined to meet.

- But...

how do you
know I live here?

There are many things

that you can't understand.

At least for
the time being.

Perhaps I will be able
to explain them to you,

And I will do it gladly.

But first...

First I have to be sure...

- Do you mind?
- What are you doing?

Here we are.

You will forgive me.

But I needed something
that belonged to you.

Don't worry.

I will give it back tomorrow.

Good night, dear.

And don't forget my name.

My name is

I'm coming.

I am your National
Health doctor.

Go on, what's the time?

You'll think it's
unreal but nearly midday.

I'll make coffee.

Did you go to bed
late last night?

Yes, but it's not that.

What is it, then?

I had strange dreams.

And then last night...

Last night what?

Nothing.

Did you bring the paper?

What's new?

Not much.

Your Left-wing friends

keep occupying the schools in Milan.

You are a fascist.

And you are delusional.

Let's go.

Go Valentina, I can't stay like this for very
lon..

What?
Right. I am sorry.

What are you doing?
We have finished for today.

We'll's finish tomorrow.

I hope I am not disturbing you.

No, we have just finished.

Come in.

Well my dear...

I have come to
give you back

that delightful
little thing

I took
from you last night.

Can I put it back?

Leave it.

You can't...

I am not wearing
a suspender belt.

What a shame.

Last night you
said that ours

wasn't a chance encounter.

What do you mean?

It's too early, Valentina.

Too early.

Do you always
use this camera?

I often do...

it depends

The eye immobilises reality...

Well,

now I must go.

Come and see me.

Can I count on it?

Well, I'm not sure,

I am very busy these days.

Take my advice.

Come and see me, Valentina.

My house is very old.

I am sure you will
find it interesting.

Here,

I'll leave you my address.

So, can I count on it?

I will try to come.

Good.

"The Crimes of
Love' by Marquis de Sade

"The roaring
years of Mickey Mouse'

- Valentina?
This is Arno.

- How was it last night?

It went very well.

Very well?

I made a hundred thousand
with an old gentleman.

Then I was robbed by
a pimp who beat me up.

Then I ended up in jail,

whilst there I was
raped by a dwarf.

Is it enough?

That sounds great.

I am glad you had fun.

Listen, I am in the suburbs,
shooting an item for television

I need some stills,

would you come
over with your camera?

Where are you?

Wait a second. I will ask.

Madam, where are we?

Where do you think we are?
In Milan.

I know we are in Milan,
what's the address here?

Via Moncucco 22

What a stupid question.
Everybody knows it.

- Via Moncucco,

as you come out from Porta Ticinese
follow the Naviglio.

Let me get changed
and I will be with you in half an hour.

What's he doing?

I got it. I got it.

Look, look at it.

What are you doing
with that rat?

Wait and see.

Is it alright?

A little to the right...

A nice close up.

Careful not to
include my finger.

Don't worry.

What's going on?

It just got stuck.

This... got stuck

What did you do?

No, everything seems all right.
But it doesn't work.

Don't worry, it doesn't matter,
it means that tomorrow

- you are coming back to finish.
- All right.

Listen,
I only managed three or four shots.

That's enough.

If you take me
to your place,

I can take the
underground from there.

Very well. But you drive.

What do you want to do
with the close-up of the rat?

I don't know,
I might leave it on the cutting room floor

or I can edit it next to

some big cheese from
the industrialists lobby

And do you think television will allow it?

Of course not.

But at least I will
have a director's cut print

that I can show in the
alternative film cinemas.

So, in other words

your message will not reach

ten million middle
class viewers but only

ten thousand so
called intellectuals.

And it will not
benefit ecology

as you meant,
but only your vanity.

If you don't use the
means that the system offers

what other options have you got?

The revolution.

Yes?
And who will do it, the Unions?

Or intellectuals,

writers, directors.

Don't make me laugh.

We are worse
than all the others.

Take me for example.

Today, I filmed a documentary
on ecological issues

tomorrow I am directing a commercial
for some washing-powder.

You are just an old whore.

Of course I am. Who isn't?

The difference is
that I admit it,

whilst all the others
are selling themselves too

but they pretend as
if they were messiahs.

Believe me Valentina,

it's a big mess, a big game,

and contradictions
are the number one rule.

In any case contradictions
are the only hope.

Of course.
And you should know it.

Because as far
as I am concerned

you are a contradiction yourself.

Really? Why?

For example in a while

you will stand me up
in front of your house.

To be coherent

you should at least
ask me in for a drink.

All right. Come up.

What did you say?

I didn't want to disturb you.

No trouble at all.

Who is she? A cowboy.

With a little spray
we send the fat away.

When I saw that lady yesterday,

I though you had
jumped onto the other side.

What do you mean?

You didn't notice?

She's madly in love with you.

Shut up, stupid.

What are you talking about?

Nothing.

Shall I put the bullets in?

All right, so you
are more in character.

Shoot.

Toni. What's wrong?

Tell me.

What's happening to her?

Be careful.

What's happening to you?

Do you want to go home?

Will you be all
right on your own?

If you want I'll go with her

That might be better.

I'll call a taxi.

Hello?
Please send a taxi over.

I made you waste your day.

No problem. I will find
something else to do today.

Just try to get better.

The taxi will be
here in a moment.

Thank goodness.

Will you be at home later?

I don't know.

- I'll call you.
- Very well.

I am glad to
see you Valentina.

I was sure
you would come.

Well... I

I have to take pictures
of some jewels so...

I thought that perhaps you
would have let me do it here.

Of course.

My house is at your disposal.

I am a little lazy.

I will not come with you.

Do as you like.

You can...

...go into any room.

And take all the
pictures you want.

Thank you.

What lovely necklaces.

I would be grateful

if you let me see them.

They are...

Nice to touch...

And even nicer to feel...

Leave that hole alone,
Valentina.

That corner
needs some repairs.

Upstairs, perhaps,
you may find

some interesting things

for your pictures.

Aren't you feeling
well, dear?

Is there something
I can do for you?

I felt faint for a moment.

You are very kind

Nonsense.

I am always
so alone here.

Your visit has
been a pleasure.

In fact,

I want to give you a present.

Here.

This, is Annette.

You must never
separate from her.

She will protect
you from evil threats.

What do you mean?

What evil threat?

You never know, my dear.

You never know.

Of course...

You can't answer.

You are only a doll.

GOD IS DEAD

GOD IS DEAD
NOW YOU KNOW IT

I DON'T LIVE HERE ANYMORE

GOD IS DEAD
NOW YOU KNOW IT

WHY ARE YOU STILL GOING TO MASS?

Quick come over, quick.

Give me a hand to get him up

Do something, quick.

Is there a doctor?

- There's someone lying there, he's dying.

- Bring him over here

Bon jour, Valentina.

Am I too early?

Dear, I'd totally forgotten.

Thank goodness Romina,

has not arrived yet.

She might have been delayed.

At the University there is a meeting
about the third world problems.

How irresponsible.

A student's meeting might
make the third world problems worst.

They are not going to solve them.

And what possessed me
to trust Romina's punctuality.

What do we do
today Valentina?

Sex and civil rights.

A demanding and
interesting programme.

And this?

Underwear.
No more taboos.

No more hypocrisy,
no more racial prejudices.

This is real
political commitment.

Take your shirt off.

Keep your trousers on.

But try to forget that
you have an education

and live with civilised people.

We didn't learn
that at university.

Very witty.

At least

you could try and look rough.

Or like those ancestors

you know,
those who used to

eat missionaries.

What a great doll.

Don't touch it.

What's wrong?

I don't know,

but there is something
strange about that doll.

Where does it come from,
Valentina?

I don't know,

it was given to me.

If you are ready

we can start.

That's it.

Very well, you two.

Next time we could
make love for real.

If not she'll kill us.

For me it's fine.
How about now?

The third world's
future is in your hands.

Run.

Bye Romina.
Whenever you want.

What's going on?

The light is back on
I should check the wiring.

What's wrong Romina,
are you all right.

No, nothing...

I must have had a dizzy spell.

How strange.

And then something pricked me.
Look.

It's not bleeding.

I wonder what it was.

- Does it hurt?
- No, not really.

It stings a little.

Well, I'm going. I feel a little odd.

Call me when the
photos are ready.

Tonight or tomorrow.

I need to talk to you.
Now.

I am waiting for you,
Valentina.

Fantastic.

How did you do it?

Zoom in...

It was easy, darling.

With Netto,

the new washing power

with instant action

which, in few seconds

eliminates any trace of grease.

Stop.

- How is it for you?
- Good.

I would do another
a little less tight.

Let's do another one.

This was the third.
Do you want a list of the good takes?

You are good
and that's enough.

What number should I put?

The same, preceded by an A.

This is unexpected.

Excuse me a second.

Valentina,
what are you doing here?

I've got to talk to you.

Something wrong?

Not just something.
Everything.

Arno, we are ready,
are you coming?

Can you take care of it?
Everything should be like the one before.

Alright.

Let's go.

Your dreams aside,

and a few coincidences,

it seems to me that
all you have is this lady

who would like to introduce you to the
delights of Sapphic love.

You don't understand.

Baba Yaga...

...is different.

As if she were
from another world.

A world that obeys to different forces...
Her eyes...

Valentina the world is full
of people with strange eyes.

Not like that.

There is something different.

Something I don't understand.
That I can't even imagine.

This is what I find unnerving.

For example that doll she gave me.

It seems alive.

And that hole in her house...

it is bottomless,
you see, it ends nowhere.

Now you are going to say
that, that is the Hell's door,

and that your Baba Yaga is
the witch at the entrance.

Well, why not?

You're mad.

We are in the
twentieth century.

We can do heart transplants,
we can go to the moon.

Witches don't exist anymore.

This is medieval stuff.

If anything, hell is
this world we live in.

Believe me Valentina,
if hell existed,

I mean the classic vision of it
with the damned and the flames.

Well, if it existed today
they would turn it into a supermarket.

If only I could...

You see today,
when the light went out

something happened.

I don't know what,
but there is...

There is a detail
that escapes me.

But it might be
helpful to understand.

Even though I am
afraid to understand.

But what are
you afraid of?.

You meet an old dyke,
your friend has a headache,

and you believe there is a spell...
A witch.

She's pale.

Her hands are cold.

Listen, I have an old
aunt with teeth like these.

But she's not Dracula.

You don't seem
to be all there.

You should go out more.

Why don't you come
with me to a cine-club?

Now?

What are they showing?

German expressionist movies.

What fun.

Better than
staying at home.

Hurry...

Look who it is.

Are you also watching the film?

- Yes, I'm celebrating tonight.

What are you celebrating?

I sold my cartoon characters
to an important editor

he wants to make
books out of them

you know what that means?

It means, no more
underground comics

I'm going to finally
have a big audience

and loads of money.

But will it allow you to
continue your anti-capitalist rhetoric?

Well...

I might have to tone
down some of my opinions

Perhaps edit
some of the jokes

make it more commercial

but it's a price worth paying,
don't you think?

Are you mad?

Nothing... I am sorry.

"The time has come. The stars
are favourable to the spell”

"The Art of giving
life to dead things"

"I obtained the terrible life-giving word from the Dark powers....
Now I am going to give life to the Golem"

Let's go.

- What?
- Don't waste time. Let's go.

What's wrong?
We have just...

Blast

Are you going to tell me
what is wrong with you?

I have remembered the detail
that I couldn't recall.

When the light went off
the camera was on the table in its case.

But when the light
came on again it was on the floor.

Next to the doll,
out of its case.

So what?

Don't you understand?
Someone used it.

Someone took some
pictures with it

whilst the light was off.

It cannot be.
It is absurd.

I know.

Look, the film
has all been used.

Are you sure
it wasn't you?

Of course. I put in a new film
whilst talking to Avojubi.

Then I thought of
all the coincidences:

Toni's illness, your camera's problem,
that hippy's death.

I thought this
camera was jinxed.

So, I used the Canon,
to avoid bad luck.

What are we waiting for,
let's develop it...

It was dark when
they were taken.

They would
not come out.

Are you sure?

Come on then.

Is this Annette?

Very nice.

If it becomes a real girl,
call me, I'll talk to her.

It's impossible.

What's Romina's
phone number?

Hello? This
is Arno Treves

May I speak to Romina?

I am a friend of Valentina.
It is urgent.

What?

I am sorry.

She is dead
isn't she?

Two hours ago.

I am sorry to
have woken you up.

I just wanted to tell you that your camera
is at my home.

Come and collect it.

Don't wait until
your friend comes back.

Now. You
understand?

What do you
want from me?

Don't be afraid.

The wiring is very old.

There are often
black-outs.

Your camera.

Why did you Kill
that hippy?

Why did you
kill Romina?

Me?

I didn't want
it to happen.

This doesn't mean
anything, my dear.

There are forces...

...that can strike
at any moment.

These forces use us.

And there is nothing
we can do about it.

I will do something.

You are very arrogant

like most of your people.

You think you have
conquered the moon,

but you don't even know
the secrets of your planet.

You will come with me,
Valentina.

I will teach you
the secrets that men

have tried to discover
during the centuries.

You will become rich.

Powerful.

You belong to me.

Don't you forget that.

I have demonstrated

that I can do

whatever I want with you.

No.

I don't care
about power,

about cosmic secrets,
and even about money

I do what I want with my life.

And I haven't got any
intention of making love

with an old
lesbian like you.

What you want to do
has no importance.

You will come with me,

whether you like it or not.

Go upstairs, in the room

I prepared for you.

Where are you?

What are you
doing here?

Here they are...

It's a long story.

There is a lady
living here...

What are you
talking about?

Stop telling lies.

What lady?. There is
nobody living here.

This house is abandoned.

Abandoned?

Yes, dear.

It's been abandoned
for a long time.

It belongs to the council which doesn't have
the money to pull it down.

There is a "For Sale"
sign outside. Understood.

Found anything in there?

Yes. A lot of dust.

Old furniture,
bricks and rubble.

There is also
a doll's head.

I am a photographer

I needed some pictures
of a location like this.

At night?

I will leave it
for the time being.

Tomorrow come to
the police station.

We'll certainly come
tomorrow, thank you.
