00:
00:15,502 -- 00:00:18,255I don't wanna kick the bucket
too soon,
3
00:
00:19,142 -- 00:00:22,214but as long
as I'm staying here,
4
00:
00:22,382 -- 00:00:25,294I'll be a drunkard and a bastard.
'Scuse me...
5
00:
00:40,782 -- 00:00:42,932Has anything
ever hit you in the head?
6
00:
00:45,142 -- 00:00:50,580No, but it almost has. A woman
got hit with a crust of bread,
7
00:
00:50,742 -- 00:00:53,540hard as concrete...
Like that bottle over there.
8
00:
00:53,902 -- 00:00:57,690Good thing you've asked me, sonny!
9
00:
00:59,182 -- 00:01:05,860You should have had that on film!
One more step, and...
10
00:
01:12,702 -- 00:01:15,978No, sonny, I had enough.

01:20,382 -- 00:01:23,215A film by Alexander Nanau
12
00:
01:50,342 -- 00:01:54,699Mr. Popescu, on my word of honor,
I'm not crazy, I'm sober...
13
00:
01:55,222 -- 00:01:57,782I was dumb enough
to drink some brandy.
14
00:
01:57,902 -- 00:02:01,133I'm leaving all my works to you,
just take me out of there.
15
00:
02:01,262 -- 00:02:03,378Okay, but don't worry...
16
00:
02:03,582 -- 00:02:06,619We'll have a normal
artist-gallery owner relationship.
17
00:
02:09,182 -- 00:02:12,93618
00:
02:43,702 -- 00:02:45,420By Brldeanu, 1972.
19
00:
02:48,342 -- 00:02:50,253Works and everything...
20
00:
03:09,662 -- 00:03:14,258- Ion, "trash can"! Wake up!
- Sh*t...
21
00:
03:20,142 -- 00:03:23,578These dustmen
have never come so early...
22
00:
03:24,262 -- 00:03:27,095Open the dumpster, Ion.
Give it here.
23
00:
03:29,502 -- 00:03:31,254Open the dumpster.
24
00:
03:58,102 -- 00:04:01,139During communism,
you couldn't do anything, sonny.
25
00:
04:01,302 -- 00:04:07,935I think you weren't even born.
Sorry... How old were you in '83?
26
00:
04:08,582 -- 00:04:10,254- 4.
- Well...
27
00:
04:13,302 -- 00:04:16,977When you were my age,
how did you imagine life?
28
00:
04:18,582 -- 00:04:21,813I didn't believe in anything,
I thought I was immortal.
29
00:
04:24,582 -- 00:04:29,576I was handsome. I was a sort of...
Have you heard of Rudolph Valentino?
30
00:
04:35,822 -- 00:04:38,541Do you know why I am in such a state?
Because of my brothers,
31
00:
04:38,662 -- 00:04:43,782my parents and my mother.
I have a brother in the country.
32
00:
04:43,902 -- 00:04:48,453If you see him, he hasn't read
a book in all of his life.
33
00:
04:48,742 -- 00:04:51,859I've read a few things.
I'll tell you about Chekov.
34
00:
04:52,182 -- 00:04:55,413When I read Chekov...
I had found a booklet.
35
00:
04:55,582 -- 00:04:59,575You know, a great Russian writer...
He wrote "Ward No.6".
36
00:
04:59,742 -- 00:05:01,892I was put in an institution once,
it was a mistake.
37
00:
05:02,022 -- 00:05:03,614Some a**holes put me in there.
38
00:
05:03,742 -- 00:05:06,336He was sleeping here,
on the stairs.
39
00:
05:06,502 -- 00:05:09,494Our super got pity of him,
and took him in here.
40
00:
05:11,422 -- 00:05:16,098Many of us were... They told him
"why did you bring him here?"
41
00:
05:16,942 -- 00:05:19,979And others were...
And he said something like
42
00:
05:20,142 -- 00:05:26,138"some keep dogs..., animals,
I'll keep a human being,
43
00:
05:26,382 -- 00:05:28,532why is it bothering you?"
44
00:
05:33,462 -- 00:05:36,135I met him when I came here,
almost 30 years ago.
45
00:
05:36,262 -- 00:05:41,097I found him here.
He was alone, he had no family.
46
00:
05:42,342 -- 00:05:46,938In time, I found that he had come
from somewhere in Moldova.
47
00:
05:47,502 -- 00:05:50,062He had run away from home.
48
00:
05:59,862 -- 00:06:07,132I'm from Vaslui, Zpodeni County.
Z-po-deni.
49
00:
06:08,782 -- 00:06:10,500You recording me?
50
00:
06:18,502 -- 00:06:23,576My father was a Stalinist.
I'm a self educated man.
51
00:
06:24,702 -- 00:06:29,457Now I'm just "bottle-educated".
Sorry, sonny...
52
00:
06:36,422 -- 00:06:40,540Come here...
Tigress, come here, girl.
53
00:
06:47,862 -- 00:06:50,820Mr. Alex, I hit her sometimes,
54
00:
06:51,022 -- 00:06:57,291I met him by sheer miracle.
55
00:
06:58,502 -- 00:07:04,532On the 1st of December, last year,
in 2007, on Romania's National Day.
56
00:
07:06,382 -- 00:07:11,934Ovidiu Fenes, one of my artists,
came to the gallery.
57
00:
07:12,742 -- 00:07:19,739He seemed possessed "come with me,
I've got something to show you".
58
00:
07:23,022 -- 00:07:28,221There are about 900 collages,
that cover some sort of...
59
00:
07:30,142 -- 00:07:34,055They cover everything
from the 70s to the mid 90s.
60
00:
07:34,742 -- 00:07:40,612And everything is...
It's a well rounded work of art.
61
00:
07:42,022 -- 00:07:45,935It's any gallery owner's Graal.
62
00:
07:52,982 -- 00:07:55,416Why did you make
63
00:
07:55,542 -- 00:07:57,419For the collages.
64
00:
08:01,182 -- 00:08:03,616Do you know
how much I enjoy cutting them?
65
00:
08:03,982 -- 00:08:05,938But I also like to turn them
into collages.
66
00:
08:06,102 -- 00:08:08,297Cutting things is very hard work.
67
00:
08:10,462 -- 00:08:13,260During one single night, I can cut
as many as in this heap here.
