00:11,182 -- 00:00:13,855

Bucharest 2008

2

00:
00:15,502 -- 00:00:18,255

I don't wanna kick the bucket

too soon,

3

00:
00:19,142 -- 00:00:22,214

but as long

as I'm staying here,

4

00:
00:22,382 -- 00:00:25,294

I'll be a drunkard and a bastard.

'Scuse me...

5

00:
00:40,782 -- 00:00:42,932

Has anything

ever hit you in the head?

6

00:
00:45,142 -- 00:00:50,580

No, but it almost has. A woman

got hit with a crust of bread,

7

00:
00:50,742 -- 00:00:53,540

hard as concrete...

Like that bottle over there.

8

00:
00:53,902 -- 00:00:57,690

Good thing you've asked me, sonny!

That woman should tell you.

9

00:
00:59,182 -- 00:01:05,860

You should have had that on film!

One more step, and...

10

00:
01:12,702 -- 00:01:15,978

No, sonny, I had enough.

11

00:
01:20,382 -- 00:01:23,215

A film by Alexander Nanau

12

00:
01:50,342 -- 00:01:54,699

Mr. Popescu, on my word of honor,

I'm not crazy, I'm sober...

13

00:
01:55,222 -- 00:01:57,782

I was dumb enough

to drink some brandy.

14

00:
01:57,902 -- 00:02:01,133

I'm leaving all my works to you,

just take me out of there.

15

00:
02:01,262 -- 00:02:03,378

Okay, but don't worry...

16

00:
02:03,582 -- 00:02:06,619

We'll have a normal

artist-gallery owner relationship.

17

00:
02:09,182 -- 00:02:12,936

THE WORLD ACCORDING TO ION B.

18

00:
02:43,702 -- 00:02:45,420

By Brldeanu, 1972.

19

00:
02:48,342 -- 00:02:50,253

Works and everything...

20

00:
03:09,662 -- 00:03:14,258

- Ion, "trash can"! Wake up!

- Shit...

21

00:
03:20,142 -- 00:03:23,578

These dustmen

have never come so early...

22

00:
03:24,262 -- 00:03:27,095

Open the dumpster, Ion.

Give it here.

23

00:
03:29,502 -- 00:03:31,254

Open the dumpster.

24

00:
03:58,102 -- 00:04:01,139

During communism,

you couldn't do anything, sonny.

25

00:
04:01,302 -- 00:04:07,935

I 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 -- 00:04:16,977

When you were my age,

how did you imagine life?

28

00:
04:18,582 -- 00:04:21,813

I didn't believe in anything,

I thought I was immortal.

29

00:
04:24,582 -- 00:04:29,576

I was handsome. I was a sort of...

Have you heard of Rudolph Valentino?

30

00:
04:35,822 -- 00:04:38,541

Do you know why I am in such a state?

Because of my brothers,

31

00:
04:38,662 -- 00:04:43,782

my parents and my mother.

I have a brother in the country.

32

00:
04:43,902 -- 00:04:48,453

If you see him, he hasn't read

a book in all of his life.

33

00:
04:48,742 -- 00:04:51,859

I've read a few things.

I'll tell you about Chekov.

34

00:
04:52,182 -- 00:04:55,413

When I read Chekov...

I had found a booklet.

35

00:
04:55,582 -- 00:04:59,575

You know, a great Russian writer...

He wrote "Ward No.6".

36

00:
04:59,742 -- 00:05:01,892

I was put in an institution once,

it was a mistake.

37

00:
05:02,022 -- 00:05:03,614

Some assholes put me in there.

38

00:
05:03,742 -- 00:05:06,336

He was sleeping here,

on the stairs.

39

00:
05:06,502 -- 00:05:09,494

Our super got pity of him,

and took him in here.

40

00:
05:11,422 -- 00:05:16,098

Many of us were... They told him

"why did you bring him here?"

41

00:
05:16,942 -- 00:05:19,979

And 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 -- 00:05:28,532

why is it bothering you?"

44

00:
05:33,462 -- 00:05:36,135

I met him when I came here,

almost 30 years ago.

45

00:
05:36,262 -- 00:05:41,097

I found him here.

He was alone, he had no family.
