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.

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.

THE WORLD ACCORDING TO ION B.

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.
