cha-cha, mambo..

when I listen to the music

I would dance,

instead of watching others dance.

Those shoes

look very comfortable,

so simple and yet...

they must be comfortable.

Yes, very much.

What have you said? Crazy?

No, no.

Wasn't it "crazy"?

No, I have said "off".

And what does it mean?

It means "special", "peculiar",

almost crazy, but not crazy yet.

Almost stupid.

Also when I'm in other cities,

the only thing that I like to do

is look at the houses.

How beautiful

a film about houses would be...

"A view on the houses".

HENRY:
PORTRAIT OF A SERIAL KILLER

A FILM BY JOHN McNAUGHTON

You're stuttering, arent' you?

Out 50 dollars and go to hell!

Here is your 50 dollars.

Can I help you, people?

Otis, do you need help,

or you think you can make it alone?

I wander about for a while

trying to remember

who told me this film was good.

I had read

a review in a paper,

something positive on "Henry".

Suddenly I remember

and find that article,

and I want to copy it

to my diary. Here it is:

..."Henry kills people,

but he's almost a good person,

"he doesn't speak much,

he'd rather act.

"His friend Otis

is a pig instead.

"Henry is solid for his victims,

"he's the blue-blooded prince

of annihilation,

"and promises them

a compassionate death. Otis doesn't.

"The director

pushes the audience

"into an even worse kind of nightmare,

with a final shower of splatter.

"Pierced Eyes,

tortured flesh, abomination.

"Henry is perhaps

the first to scorn

"the criminal philosophy

of the lombrosianis in Hollywood.

I wonder, those

who write such things,

at night, before sleeping,

aren't they a little ashamed?

But when did it all start?

I don't know, I don't know.

Perhaps

when you wrote:

..."That Korean film

was a melodrama in dress,

"where clothes,

and above all hats, were delirious.

"Super feminist, flaming

and demoniac"?

"Shot like a trip

by a Spielberg-like director

"who got into futurist

spaces and rhythms.

And then there's

Cronenberg's "Naked Lunch",

"Pure high budgeted

underground pus...

- Enough! Enough!

- "A true cult movie!

"Women are not better

for Jonathan Demme,

..."at least they are like Lin Piao's

proletarians or sub proletarians

"of the three circling worlds,

"but certainly, his women

succeed in bearing the war

"at the imaginary department

for surgical operations.

"And in fact, before Lula and Sailor

hold each other in the happy end,

..."whispering "love me tender",

Sailor will spend a few years in prison,

"shattered heads will fly,

"stray dogs will catch

chopped off hands,
