turn as soon as possible,

Lilly 7, Lilly 7, here's tower AN

I don't know, we agree on the estimate

for the first step - Yes?

Why don't you answer the phone?

Yes. We invested 200 millions

plus 40 for unexpected events

Oh no, just a moment, why lock up 40

million for the unexpected?

What unexpected?

We found some areas with differences

in the level... - Hello?

... quite relevant, that's the reason - Hi

Land examinations have pointed out

a density index that...

Wait, I'll take the call in my office

... and then the arrangement of collapsing rocks

How do you calculate...

- And when will we know that?

Nancy! It's difficult to make an estimate,

at least as long as we are on this first stage

What's the matter Daria, where are you?

I'm in a city here in the desert,

I called to tell you that

I'll get late to Phoenix

- But Why? - I'm looking for a place

called Glenville

or Ballyville or something like that

Something with "Ville" inside.

You know the desert, does it ring a bell?

"Ville"... Hold on, wait.

with "Ville". What do you mean?

Like Denville?

A place in the desert,

Denville is in Connecticut.

Or maybe it ends in "Hill",

a word like that

Yes, well, but why

do you want to go to a town

you don't even know the name of?

An appointment?

A friend of mine told me it's

the perfect place to meditate.

- And what are you going to do there?

- Think thoughts

think what? Daria! Listen to me,

give me your number,

I'll try to get the name of the town

and call you back, ok?

No, no, or else you'd be capable of sending

an helicopter to fetch me

Daria!

- Please come back in three minutes

- Just a moment miss

Listen up, give me your number

and hang up,

I'll call you back in five minutes,

so that I pay for the call.

See you in Phoenix

Excuse me, do you know

a place nearby

called Glenville or Ballyville

something like that?

- Barkstead?

- Oh, that's it

- Of course, that's where we are

- Oh really?

Did you come here to visit

a James Patterson by chance?

- How do you know that?

- You have the same look.

Tell him as for me that

he'll be the death of this town,

that he's going to ruin

a piece of American history.

Jimmy?

- Do you remember Jonny Wilson?

- Jonny Wilson? No.

That's me.

I was middleweight world champion.

- Middleweight world champion?

Bravo! - Thank you.

He wants to be a benefactor,

he brought pack of children here

from Los Angeles

he says, they are ill, traumatized,

do you know what it means?

But if Los Angeles doesn't want them,

why should we?

F***!

You damned criminals!

Just try to come back!

So, you've seen it with your own eyes,

that glass will cost me 30 dollars

Hey you!

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…
