Mia Madre Page #3

Synopsis: These are hard days for Margherita, who is going through a very difficult period in her life. On a professional level first, the middle-aged film director, has started wondering whether the committed movies she has been making are really an actual reflection of the world she lives in ; on top of this, she is in conflict not only with her crew but also, and primarily, with Barry Huggins, a well-known American actor of Italian origin, who proves awfully bad and uncontrollable. On the personal level, things do not get any better - it could even be said they are worse. Margherita has just left her life partner and she has become unable to relate to her teenage daughter. As for her mother, she is now seriously ill and her doctor tries to prepare her brother and her for the worst. Which is unacceptable to the weakened woman who can find salvation only in denial of reality. Will she manage to face up to the facts and to come to terms with herself?

of the company's continuity.

- They have to trust you.

- They have to... trust.

Yes!

Is it real?

Fake!

It was a joke!

I'd like to say I'm very proud

to give new life to a label

which is known

throughout the world.

But you workers

must stop this sit-in immediately,

or else I'll close the factory

and you'll have

no jobs.

That's another scene! Cut!

Barry, it's just fine,

you did the first part well,

but the second...

"Workers".

No, you did another scene.

Another scene?

It was wrong, but that's okay.

Come on, another take.

Suddenly, Margherita disappeared.

Really, we couldn't find you!

Your parents were frantic,

your father kept saying: "Stay calm!"

But he was the most frantic of all.

We looked for you

on the beach, at the cafe,

but there was a storm,

you know when the weather

changes suddenly in summer...

How old was Margherita?

Six or seven?

Huh, Mom?

You know who's dead?

Giovanna called me...

I don't know which Giovanna,

I know so many!

But she said:
"I have bad news,

she's dead...

She's dead...

I didn't understand who.

Who?

Who?

I don't know.

Nice they visited you, wasn't it?

Yes, yes.

How do you feel?

- Sweak.

- What?

- Sweak.

- What's that mean?

No strength.

Luciano and Paola are so boring!

Did you remember

that episode Luciano told us?

No.

Not at all?

They're nice, but they bore me,

they always have stories

about the past.

But they're fond of you,

they often ask about you.

Yes, they're very kind.

A bit boring, but, a little...

Yes, they're boring.

Yes.

So we're together, the two of us.

Are you tired?

- Yes.

- You work too hard.

He can just leave it there.

No one shoots just one week.

More!

Three months.

- Bring us another?

- No!

That's not nice.

Hey, Peppino De Filippo!

Doctor Antonio!

Drink more milk,

milk is good for you,

you can't overdo, the virtue of milk.

Please take me home,

you two can go for drinks,

I'm sleepy!

Hello! Wonderful scent!

Hello Rome!

Rossellini,

Antonioni, Petri, Fellini!

Fellini's Roma.

Take me to Via Veneto!

Take me to Via Veneto!

I thought I'd seen

all Kubrick's films,

but which one's with Barry?

None, he never worked with Kubrick.

Right, Barry?

We have to make

another film together.

- We will, huh?

- Great idea.

Let's think about it.

With a soul!

Like an old Bogart, Cagney film.

I seem like a positive character,

but I'm really a criminal.

A criminal infiltrated in the police.

- Great idea!

- Yes, great.

Original.

A sequence long shot.

...in prison.

In prison? Beautiful!

Yes, it's right for me.

I know you!

I know my "chick".

- There are various viewpoints.

- I can't take this.

Every time it starts...
