make good use of it, it

isn't gonna last too long.

But we have a colony :

la Cecilia.

Ours was called Saint Antoine !

Don't say a word about all that!

not a word!

But why?

I don't want any more bosses!

You know our experiment has

nothing to do with this stuff.

Yeah... but don't say a word.

OK, OK...

I'll have to burn the surplus coffee

right before everyone's eyes.

But I ask you :

whose fault is it ?

And that's not all; the prices

at the Sao Paulo market

keep dropping!

But I ask you :

who's responsible for it ?

Yeah, who?

the competition!

they're coming in by the thousands,

those damned colonists!

The government ought to intervene.

Plow, sixty contos.

we need cattle,

and seeds...

we need three bags.

- what's the price ?

- thirty contos.

five liras?

Sh*t! Son of a b*tch!

If we want to spend less money,

We'll have to buy it!

You're always kidding around...

The cow does all the work, right ?

Fool, come take up this plow

and you'll see.

- Can I really ?

- go for it

did you see?

tell me,

the deed to this property...

we don't have one, do we ?

Listen, Rocco

Go ahead. I'm listening.

You're a farmer, right?

Farmer, but a landless one, as you know.

a journalist.

the earth belongs to those who

work it, right ?

Sure, I know it well.

and so?

just so!

but that's not enough for you !

it's the best contract.

deeds to property

like the law

...they only serve the bosses.

and there're no bosses here!

Hold on a minute ...

We aren't alone in this little

corner of the world, are we?

Well, there's a colony of Poles up north,

one of Germans to the west...

Are they anarchists?

Not so far as I know.

Well, then, they have deeds,

right?

But we don't give a sh*t ?

Well... then we'll have to...

put an enclosure around our land.

otherwise...

comrades, no walls !

no enclosures !

no restrictions on freedom !

Oh, exiles of Italy

we're off on our adventure

no regrets, no fear...

the walls...

with walls...

Our fatherland is the whole world,

...comes competition,

egoism...

envy...

hate...

the Turks are coming !

Ah, f*** off !

see, the earth's axis

leans to the side.

but the sun's axis doesn't.

Get it?

the earth spins around the sun.

so the side that's closer to the

sun is going to be warmer

since it's hit straight on by the rays;

the further side,

is hit less, by oblique rays.

if the earth is on this side,

it's the opposite:

it'll be warmer

up north, where Italy is,

and cooler in the south, in Brazil.

This is April right now, and in ltaly

it's warmer; it's spring over there.

and in spring...

do leaves fall in spring ?

they do around here : this is April,

but it's autumn here,

Jean-Louis Comolli

Jean-Louis Comolli (born 30 July 1941) is a French writer, editor, and film director. He was editor in chief of Cahiers du cinéma from 1966 to 1978, during which period he wrote the influential essays "Machines of the Visible" (1971) and "Technique and Ideology: Camera, Perspective, Depth of Field" (1971-2), both of which have been translated in English anthologies of film and media studies. This work was important in the discussion on apparatus theory, an attempt to rethink cinema as a site for the production and maintenance of dominant state ideology in the wake of May 1968. After his tenure at Cahiers, Comolli continued his work as a director and has since published numerous works on film theory, documentary, and jazz. He currently teaches film theory at the Universities of Paris VIII, Barcelona, Strasburg and Genève.In the spring of 2008, Comolli was invited to the Visions du réel documentary film festival in Nyon, Switzerland, where he developed his theory of documentary cinema. more…
