- Well, we'll meet us later.

Who can give me the permission?

- Good evening Mr. Allen.

- Good evening Tom.

Did you stay up late today?

Yes, I had to work.

May I help you?

Well, I hope. I replaced a secretary today,

I went up at lunchtime.

and I forgot... - A book.

I work only when I need it.

Who's that girl?

My sister.

What's that stuff?

It's a form:
in case of roundup,

they release you sooner

if you give it to them already filled up.

"Always ready", don't you have another slogan?

You have to be realist.

Listen up, the day you'll

decide not to resign yourselves,

I'll enter the movement

A lot a people cannot chose,

for many it's a question of survival.

That's what I mean.

- What?

- Really. I'm not joking.

I'm sick of this, young people talk about

violence, and the police do it.

Have you seen that idiot today who said

that one should do something...

...only when it's needed?

Well, I need it before.

Anyway, the demonstration will be

in front of the rectorship all day.

Well, alright.

Here check 1 to surveillance 1AL51.

It's enough for today.

Surveillance to 1AL51.

Break.

What do you want?

A friend of mine was arrested today.

I'd like to know if he's been relased.

- One of the students? - Yes.

They are recording them.

It takes some time.

Sit down.

Does it take a lot?

- 5 minutes. Or 5 hours.

Thanks

Empty your pockets.

- Name? - George S. Tolli.

Put your hands above.

- Tolli? - T.O.L.L.I.

- No more names? A nickname?

- No.

Take away your glasses.

- Adress?

- 1152 Stock.

- City? - AHA.

- Employment?

- History teacher on annual contract

It's too long George: let's write office-worker

- Money in the wallet?

- Two dollars.

Some of these boys need to be treated

You didn't you say that you're also a doctor?

- And who are you?

- There's a friend of mine here,

I came to pay the bail

You're not allowed to stay there,

off with you

I thought that when someone

comes to pay the bail...

You thought? Did you think

the regulation was for you?

Did you think you're someone special?

Off with you

Hey Martin, do you need something?

Here you are, now you can meet your friend

Hands up

What a day!

- Name?

- Karl Marx

How do you write it?

M.A.R.X.

Goodbye

- So? What do you want?

- We'd need some weapons. Self defense.

So, this is the law:

you buy the weapons now

and I verify your criminal record in Sacramento

In 4 or 5 days

you can come here to get them

This is an emergency.

We live in a neighbourhood close to...

Michelangelo Antonioni

Michelangelo Antonioni, Cavaliere di Gran Croce OMRI (29 September 1912 – 30 July 2007), was an Italian film director, screenwriter, editor, and short story author. Best known for his "trilogy on modernity and its discontents" — L'Avventura (1960), La Notte (1961), and L'Eclisse (1962), as well as the English-language Blowup (1966), Antonioni "redefined the concept of narrative cinema" and challenged traditional approaches to storytelling, realism, drama, and the world at large. He produced "enigmatic and intricate mood pieces" and rejected action in favor of contemplation, focusing on image and design over character and story. His films defined a "cinema of possibilities".Antonioni received numerous awards and nominations throughout his career, including the Cannes Film Festival Jury Prize (1960, 1962), Palme d'Or (1966), and 35th Anniversary Prize (1982); the Venice Film Festival Silver Lion (1955), Golden Lion (1964), FIPRESCI Prize (1964, 1995), and Pietro Bianchi Award (1998); the Italian National Syndicate of Film Journalists Silver Ribbon eight times; and an honorary Academy Award in 1995. He is one of three directors to have won the Palme d'Or, the Golden Lion and the Golden Bear, and the only director to have won these three and the Golden Leopard. more…
