00:00:30 Mostly by talking about it.
00:00:34 A film is a dream.
00:00:36 You kill it writing it down,
00:00:40 Your film might come to life
00:00:43 your actors breathe
00:00:44 But then it dies again,
00:00:49 Mysteriously, sometimes,
00:00:54 a miracle happens when you place
00:00:57 so that when finally an
00:01:01 if you're lucky, very lucky,
00:01:05 and sometimes I've
00:01:09 the dream flickers back
00:01:15 That's why I'm secretive.
00:01:18 So, what's your favorite pasta?
00:01:22 Finally, a serious question.

00:07:51 Directing a movie is a very
00:07:55 You just have to say yes
00:07:58 "Should this be Red?" Yes.
00:08:01 "More extras?" Yes
00:08:03 Yes. No. Yes. No.
00:08:05 That's right: That's directing.
00:08:09 It doesn't seem to make any
00:08:13 So, please, Guido, yes or no.
00:08:17 Do you want costumes
00:08:20 - Yes.
00:08:24 Might I know what period

00:09:44 You should have let me
00:09:47 Could have visited you
00:09:51 Don't look at me like that.
00:09:53 Oh, Guido, Guido.
00:09:59 This is your Rome, Guido.
00:10:01 The world sees Rome the
00:10:05 Your films did that.
00:10:07 - I miss you.
00:10:30 We are just waiting for the
00:10:34 Could this film put the
00:10:37 And here he is!
00:10:46 Thank you for coming.
00:10:48 Silenzio, per favore.
00:10:51 Guido Contini's long time
00:10:53 I just want to say a few
00:10:56 I am humbled and thrilled to
00:10:59 Guido Contini's next film:
00:11:02 "Italia"
00:11:03 which will star once again
00:11:08 the international film star,
00:11:14 We start shooting in ten
00:11:17 That makes it one week
00:11:19 Thank you, Maestro,
00:11:21 This is our ninth film
00:11:25 Thanks for coming, everybody.
00:11:30 - Maestro Contini.
00:11:34 Grazie. Your new film is
00:11:40 Actually it's my shortest
00:11:42 - But hardly a modest one.
00:11:46 They cost too much,
00:11:48 and they involve
00:11:51 They should have
00:11:54 And might you tell the press
00:11:58 Why?
00:12:03 I still don't know what my
00:12:05 That was the problem.
00:12:10 Of course I can tell you
00:12:12 I can tell you the story,
00:12:15 who I am going to cast,
00:12:17 I can tell you everything.
00:12:22 I'm afraid that what I say
00:12:26 Our next film will be
00:12:29 Italia.
00:12:30 It's the very spirit of Italy.
00:12:35 Italy as a dream.
00:12:36 - Is this true?
00:12:41 Do you consider
00:12:44 - Signor Contini.
00:12:47 Could you tell the fashionable
00:12:49 who your favorite
00:12:52 I'm less interested in wrapping
00:12:56 Signor Contini, you are a
00:12:59 Educated in Britain,
00:13:02 With Italia is it fair to say that
00:13:06 It's been a long time since you
00:13:09 Do you plan on casting her
00:13:12 I told Luisa that when we got
00:13:14 make love to
00:13:16 But she hasn't worked at all
00:13:20 But why are you being so
00:13:23 It’s a serious question.
00:13:29 I would like to be here.
00:13:32 You want me to be serious
00:13:36 I would like to be there.
00:13:38 I thought I was the
00:13:42 I would like to be
00:13:46 I know that’s a
00:13:50 Artists do their best work
00:13:53 Now you're famous.
00:13:54 Without wishing to be negative,
00:14:00 Flops?
00:14:01 Your word, flops.
00:14:02 And it's a problem
00:14:06 My body's nearing fifty,
00:14:10 ten.
00:14:11 I'm just asking if you're nervous.
00:14:15 - Excuse me?
00:14:18 is have you run out
00:14:22 I can hardly stay up,
00:14:27 And I don’t want to wake
00:14:29 at the bottom of some heap.
00:14:31 But why take it
00:14:35 After all, there's nothing
00:14:39 I want to be young.
00:14:44 I would like to be wise
00:14:47 be foolish and brash
00:14:48 I would like the universe to
00:14:51 "Guido, whatever you please.
00:14:53 It's okay even if it's impossible,
00:15:01 That's all that I want.
00:15:01 That's all that I want.
00:15:03 I was wondering if you think
00:15:05 you can show in a movie.
00:15:06 What would you
00:15:08 that I haven't already
00:15:11 I am lusting for more
00:15:16 Should I settle for less?
00:15:18 I ask you: What's a
00:15:21 taking it to excess?
00:15:22 One limitation
00:15:26 There's one of me
00:15:36 If you have any
00:15:38 I would like to have another
00:15:44 I would even like to be able
00:15:51 I would like to be here sing
00:15:54 To be there walking
00:15:56 Everywhere, everywhere,
00:15:58 That's a contradiction
00:16:00 I want to be here,
00:16:02 melody in the here, top
00:16:06 Guido!
00:16:10 Guido. Me, me, me.
00:16:14 or the marquis de Sade.
00:16:16 I would like to be Christ,
00:16:19 But not have to believe
00:16:21 I mean it with
00:16:24 It's the end if something
00:16:29 I want to be young,
00:16:33 What I want is a tale
00:16:36 that some idiot
00:16:38 I would like the universe to
00:16:41 "Guido, whatever you please.
00:16:45 we'll arrange it."
00:16:54 So arrange it.
00:16:59 Arrange it.
00:17:04 That's all that I want.
00:17:15 Guido, Guido, Guido!

00:17:40 Guido!

00:17:50 - I need a room.
00:17:52 - A suite.
00:17:54 With a view of the sea,
00:18:00 All of our suites have air.
00:18:03 - Let me just look for you.
00:18:06 - I understand.
00:18:10 Busy busy busy.
00:18:12 Would Maestro Contini prefer
00:18:18 Please.
00:18:19 - Signor Milano?
00:18:23 Needless to say,
00:18:26 Guilty pleasure.
00:18:29 Not the flops.

00:19:07 Oh, I heard. Dramatic.
00:19:10 Don't tease me.
00:19:12 You're making a film.
00:19:16 It's what happens.

00:21:31 wondering about.
00:21:35 Guido.
00:21:37 It's a very important call,
00:21:40 - Private call.

00:26:39 And then my husband

00:28:11 Excuse me.
00:28:14 I've got the wrong room.
00:28:17 Yes you have.
00:28:20 And I don't have the
00:28:41 Page one.
00:28:43 Page one, page one,
00:28:46 The figure emerges from
00:28:51 She's Claudia, his muse.
00:28:54 She takes the man’s face
00:28:58 And with that gesture he's
00:29:03 something... profound.
00:29:10 Mother of God,
00:29:35 - Excuse me, father.
00:29:37 - His Excellency, the Cardinal...

00:30:20 director is at all times.
00:30:22 Even to know the pensione
00:30:25 - Oh my God.
00:30:27 Rome is absolutely unbearable.
00:30:31 - It's not good.
00:30:33 Of course I understand.

00:30:38 You're a genius and
00:30:41 Thank you my old friend.
00:30:44 You can't be in Rome?
00:30:47 Rome will come to you.

00:31:19 No, I remember you. We all
00:31:24 Maestro!
00:31:26 Claudia's agent.
00:31:29 Did she like the script?
00:31:32 No, no no no.
00:31:35 Are you telling me she
00:31:37 Pierpaulo!
00:31:41 Send her another one, for
00:31:43 - Yes, I'm sorry.
00:31:44 Right now.
00:31:46 Yes, that's what I say.
00:31:48 People just don't realize she's
00:31:50 I know Dante's dying to
00:31:55 Lombardo.
00:32:04 What are we doing here?
00:32:07 I'm happy. I brought
00:32:11 It was Luisa's
00:32:13 What? No!
00:32:17 I spoke with her yesterday,
00:32:21 - Give me a cigarette.
00:32:28 - What's that?
00:32:30 For which scene?
00:32:31 I don't know which scene,
00:32:34 But she always likes
00:32:35 - Or you do.
00:32:37 It's wrong. Italian women
00:32:39 Don't knock the

00:32:55 Why do people
00:32:57 Oh, Guido.

00:33:04 You won’t find it with
00:33:05 halfway up your arse.
00:33:08 Ashtray.
00:33:10 You were saying my head
00:33:13 Halfway.
00:33:14 I don't know. Why not dream
00:33:18 Something with music.
00:33:21 God knows we could use
00:33:27 Le Cinema today
00:33:31 The directors are so
00:33:35 The movies are not worth
00:33:40 If no one sings a love song
00:33:44 Love cannot be love
00:33:50 A string, a clarinet
00:33:55 Take a lesson from
00:34:00 the finest entertainment
00:34:09 Folies Bergere
00:34:16 What a showing of color,
00:34:20 Not a moment in life

00:48:32 Guido, everybody
00:48:34 Why, why won't you
00:48:35 For the very same reason
00:48:37 die on top of you. It's

00:49:08 Let's say there were
00:49:12 each one set in a
00:49:15 but played by the
00:49:20 Something light
00:49:22 like Mozart would
00:49:25 - Like the circus.
00:49:27 - Sounds like a masterpiece.
00:49:31 A screenplay is first of
00:49:35 Let's try to dig for
00:49:38 Maybe a group of people
00:49:49 Luisa?
00:49:54 Is that his wife?
00:49:56 I can't believe
00:49:58 The jungle drums said
00:50:01 The jungle drums
00:50:05 Not entirely.
00:50:07 You haven't
00:50:10 I was dying,
00:50:14 Come.
00:50:20 Don't think I forgot

00:50:26 - Am I already going home?
00:50:30 Happy Birthday,
00:50:38 - Here she is. At last.
00:50:42 Magnificent.
00:50:44 - You know Donatella?
00:50:52 - Thank you for calling.

00:51:16 This is my wife, Luisa.
00:51:17 - A pleasure, Signora.
00:51:21 - Please. Please.
00:51:26 I was telling your husband
00:51:29 Publicly, the church condemns
00:51:33 But we all love them.
00:51:35 Last year we did our own
00:51:38 at the Christmas Party.
00:51:39 - That I'd pay to see.
00:51:42 She was the best
00:51:44 It's true. It was
00:51:48 Of course. You are
00:51:51 I was.
00:51:53 You can't stop
00:51:55 Can't you?
00:51:57 Well there's a good catholic
00:52:00 That's what they do:
00:52:04 Still, Signora Contini...
00:52:06 it must be a very
00:52:10 My husband makes movies
00:52:15 To make them he lives
00:52:20 In which his actions aren't
00:52:25 He may be on to some
00:52:32 Some men run banks.
00:52:37 Some earn their living
00:52:42 My husband he goes
00:52:47 making movies instead.
00:52:53 My husband spins fantasies.
00:52:58 He lives them then
00:53:04 Like Michelangelo he
00:53:09 But can't distinguish what's
00:53:16 Some men sell stocks.
00:53:21 Some leap where others
00:53:26 My husband as author
00:53:31 makes up stories
00:53:54 Guido Contini,
00:53:58 Number one genius
00:54:03 Guido Contini,
00:54:06 Passionate woman
00:54:10 Long ago.
00:54:16 Many years ago.
00:54:19 Once we two were
00:54:22 Guido Contini,
00:54:26 actress with dreams
00:54:30 Then we had no end
00:54:34 Singing together all
00:54:38 Long ago.
00:54:42 Someone else ago.
00:54:48 Signorina Acari,
00:54:52 Provino numero uno.
00:54:56 Your name is Italian.
00:54:58 My father is Italian.
00:55:02 What have you
00:55:04 I've waited.
00:55:05 Waited for this?
00:55:10 Waited tables.
00:55:13 And, of course, I studied
00:55:18 But mostly
00:55:39 - Thank you.
00:55:43 Thank you for what
00:55:47 Keep running.
00:55:51 Long ago
00:55:56 Someone else ago
00:56:00 How he needs me so
00:56:04 And he'll be the last
00:56:13 My husband makes movies
00:56:18 to make them he makes
00:56:23 He works for weeks on end
00:56:28 No other way can he achieve
00:56:35 Some men read books,
00:56:39 Some retire early, some stay
00:56:44 My husband only rarely
00:56:51 My husband makes
00:57:03 My husband
00:57:07 makes movies
00:57:26 Excuse me, I suddenly
00:57:33 What happened?
00:57:38 Luisa?
00:57:41 I'm staggered by my own
00:57:45 Luisa, please tell me,
00:57:48 You open your mouth
00:57:50 What lie?
00:57:52 Why am I surprised?
00:57:55 It's like breathing to you.
00:58:10 Guido.
00:58:16 I was hungry.
00:58:18 There are plenty of
00:58:20 I wanted to see the hotel.
00:58:22 I told you I came here with
00:58:25 I didn't come to disturb you.
00:58:26 You certainly managed to.
00:58:28 Why didn't you tell me
00:58:30 I didn't know she was here.
00:58:33 Well she could have
00:58:34 The only privilege my wife
00:58:37 having to warn me.
00:58:41 A taxi please,
00:58:42 Right away.
00:58:44 Carla, you have to
00:58:47 Will you wait with me?
00:58:49 I'm in the middle of
00:58:50 with my colleagues.
00:58:52 So why do I have
00:58:56 I'll find someone
00:59:08 Signora...
00:59:09 would you rather
00:59:14 I'm going to walk. Please
00:59:52 Apparently she's staying in
00:59:56 next to the station.
01:00:00 Luisa?
01:00:03 If I'd invited her here, she'd
01:00:06 wouldn't she?
01:00:09 I didn't even know
01:00:11 - Very plausible.
01:00:20 You told me it was finished.
01:00:22 It is, she was worried
01:00:25 if I was alright, which is
01:00:28 and hardly a mortal sin.
01:00:32 What? What are you
01:00:35 Nothing.
01:00:38 If you could see yourself.
01:00:42 I couldn't live with it.
01:00:44 The absurdity of being you.
01:00:48 The effort of having to
01:00:53 It's exhausting.
01:00:57 No wonder you've
01:00:59 You're too busy
01:01:02 It's finished.
01:01:04 It's finished.
01:01:07 It wasn't before
01:01:09 Bla bla bla bla bla!

01:02:22 Like a million times.
01:02:25 They're the only movies
01:02:26 about the modern world.
01:02:28 What truth is that?
01:02:30 Death of religion.
01:02:34 I don't think
01:02:37 And what exactly is
01:02:41 That we can talk
01:02:44 You have such style.
01:02:47 I always think that.
01:02:48 That's the other thing
01:02:51 Style.
01:02:52 Every frame
01:02:55 - Okay.
01:02:57 You care as much about the
01:03:00 It's the Italian man in you:
01:03:05 undresses you
01:03:07 - I hate that man.
01:03:10 Style is the new content.

01:03:29 The way Contini puts his
01:03:33 I feel my body chill

01:04:10 He is the king of
01:04:21 Those scenes I love to see
01:04:23 from Guido’s "POV"

01:14:26 Darling?
01:14:30 - We're going back to Rome.
01:14:34 She's gone.
01:14:36 Quite frankly, so have I.

01:17:17 - Se gira.
01:17:29 Could you turn to the
01:17:32 Yes. I can turn
01:17:36 And, can you turn
01:17:39 I can turn to my left.
01:17:45 Now just one slow turn
01:17:51 Okay, one slow turn.
01:17:55 Belissima. Brava. Cut.
01:17:58 We've got it.
01:18:01 Has anybody got a script?
01:18:06 Handsome reward...
01:18:11 Can't make a film without it.
01:18:13 So interesting to do hair
01:18:15 when you don't know
01:18:23 I'm going back
01:18:25 Please, just a couple
01:18:26 I'm going back to
01:18:29 And when there is a script
01:18:32 we can take it from there.
01:18:35 I love the costumes, Lilli.
01:18:38 - Ciao, Bello.
01:18:40 - Claudia!
01:18:42 - Fair?
01:18:44 - You've got dailies, Guido.
01:18:46 You've got meetings!
01:19:10 You look ravishing.
01:19:13 You're not seeing me, you're
01:19:16 I'm somewhere hidden
01:19:46 It's good to see you.
01:19:50 I’m assuming that's code for:
01:19:55 Why is everybody so suddenly
01:20:02 Talk to the people who
01:20:06 They're not interested
01:20:13 They're interested in the
01:20:15 the way the camera looks
01:20:17 the way you smile a little
01:20:19 you really do blush
01:20:25 Who even knows, but...
01:20:28 whatever else it is
01:20:44 So Lilli says I'm playing
01:20:49 Not a million.
01:20:53 You're the muses,
01:20:56 who made Italy
01:20:59 A country run by men,
01:21:05 whether they know it or not.
01:21:07 So I am women behind
01:21:11 The great women,
01:21:15 You have this man
01:21:21 wants to take hold of everything,
01:21:27 He can't let anything go,
01:21:33 And he changes direction
01:21:35 he's dying, bleeding to death.
01:21:42 And these muses they fall
01:21:45 Exactly.
01:21:47 - They fall in love with him.
01:21:52 - What?
01:22:02 In a very unusual way,
01:22:06 one time I needed you.
01:22:12 In a very unusual way,
01:22:16 you were my friend.
01:22:22 Maybe it lasted a day
01:22:27 Maybe it lasted an hour.
01:22:32 But somehow it will
01:22:41 These women, who come
01:22:45 - They're just fantasies.
01:22:48 In a very unusual way
01:22:52 I think I'm in love with you.
01:22:58 In a very unusual way,
01:23:02 I want to cry.
01:23:08 Something inside me goes weak,
01:23:12 Something inside me surrenders,
01:23:17 and you're the reason why.
01:23:22 You're the reason why.
01:23:28 You don’t know
01:23:33 you don't have a clue.
01:23:37 You can't tell
01:23:43 looking at you.
01:23:47 It scares me so that
01:23:53 She's his inspiration.
01:23:56 I can't keep
01:23:59 I fall in love with you
01:24:04 When there's a camera
01:24:07 No.
01:24:11 It's not a real person, Guido.
01:24:14 And this man you describe,
01:24:21 In a very unusual way,
01:24:29 There was a time once
01:24:32 some terrible hotel.
01:24:35 You were in the room
01:24:39 I could hear you
01:24:42 And all through the night
01:24:45 the stairs and hammer on
01:24:49 And why didn't you?
01:24:51 I don't know.
01:24:56 Special to me in my life,
01:25:01 since the first day
01:25:06 How could I ever
01:25:09 once you had
01:25:17 In a very unusual way
01:25:28 you've made
01:25:33 me
01:25:38 whole
01:25:44 Maybe you should
01:25:49 Maybe you should've knocked
01:25:54 I can't do this anymore.
01:26:01 This is me. And you have
01:26:11 I'll miss you.
01:26:16 Wrong girl.
01:26:38 Great work Lilli.
01:26:41 Thank you.
01:26:42 And the hair,
01:26:45 - She has a beautiful profile.
01:26:48 - She's a goddess.
01:26:51 She came directly from Venus.
01:26:55 Yeah. Fantastic. Guido?
01:27:00 - Actresses.
01:27:07 If we like her, we have to
01:27:10 - Everybody wants her right now.
01:27:17 - Now go and sit down.
01:27:20 She’s peculiar.
01:27:24 You don’t like her Guido?
01:27:28 My name is Ilaria.
01:27:30 - I like her.
01:27:33 Mind your business.
01:27:39 - Thanks.
01:27:44 - Donatella Valentini.
01:27:47 Go and look at yourself
01:27:48 Whatever you feel like

01:28:22 - Who's this?
01:28:25 - Would you start by...
01:28:28 - Hi. I’m Alessia
01:28:32 - From the North.
01:28:34 - Padula.

01:28:41 Bye
01:28:45 She's very beautiful.
01:28:46 Very nice.
01:28:47 - It's not the point.
01:28:50 It's just what I like.

01:29:38 Thank you very much,

01:31:33 You have to understand,
01:31:35 This is what I do,
01:31:38 And this is our life.
01:31:41 You think to create is to forgive
01:31:45 But don’t think I can
01:31:47 because I can't.
01:31:51 Ever.
01:31:53 So go ahead.
01:31:58 You want my soul?
01:32:03 It's time to leave,
01:32:08 Because I have no more,

01:33:05 now take it right
01:33:07 You grabbed for
01:33:10 but don’t you see
01:33:13 there will be nothing!
01:33:16 You're just an appetite.
01:33:19 And if you'd stop being
01:33:23 You take everything.
01:33:40 You know,
01:33:45 I can see now
01:34:21 What have I done?
01:34:27 What have I done,
01:34:35 I can't make this movie.
01:34:38 There's no way that
01:34:41 I can't bear to see
01:34:45 Problem is the subject, there's
01:34:49 The problem is the
01:34:54 How I wish it didn't
01:34:58 but we cut the losses
01:35:02 Strike the set and keep it
01:35:05 Tell the cast and crew
01:35:15 Find another genius, I can't
01:35:18 I can't even tell
01:35:22 Help, Luisa, help me. Help
01:35:25 Here's a place where
01:35:29 Guido out in space
01:35:32 Guido at a loss for
01:35:36 Guido with no
01:35:39 Guido at the mercy
01:35:41 Guido here with
01:35:50 Nothing holds together, nothing
01:35:53 impossible to grasp
01:35:57 How can I go on to watch
01:36:00 end up being nothing
01:36:04 Have I lost myself
01:36:07 Has my life become
01:36:10 Guido, I can't stand
01:36:13 Guido, for God's sake,
01:36:15 Guido here with no one
01:36:36 I destroyed everything,
01:36:42 I destroyed everything.
01:36:47 You make one wrong turn
01:36:50 after it all the turns
01:36:55 And you are so far from
01:36:57 and you're lost.
01:37:01 And then you're lost.
01:37:06 No one can help you
01:37:11 It's up to you, Guido.
01:37:13 Up to you.
01:37:16 Nobody else.
01:37:38 Old friends, I have to
01:37:44 There is no movie.
01:37:47 I can't pretend anymore.
01:37:55 We have to stop.
01:37:59 I'm sorry.
01:39:20 Anguillara, Italy
01:40:25 I'm glad she's acting again.
01:40:29 - She's funny.
01:40:33 I didn't want to interfere.
01:40:36 Is she with anybody, Lilli?
01:40:39 Guido. She's my friend.
01:40:43 I don’t know, I expect so.
01:40:48 Promise me you're gonna
01:40:50 and get rid of that
01:40:53 I like to get about without
01:40:58 And where are you
01:41:02 Nowhere. Here. I walk.
01:41:09 Are you seeing anybody?
01:41:17 Sounds exciting. Walking around
01:41:20 growing a beard. I might
01:41:23 Don't tease me, Lilli.
01:41:25 I just miss her.
01:41:27 I should have "idiot"
01:41:32 Luisa certainly thinks so.
01:41:34 Does she? Did she
01:41:37 Stop. I'm not going to act as
01:41:43 Come back to Rome.
01:41:46 Make a movie.
01:41:48 No. Never.
01:41:52 I spent this time trying
01:41:56 to not be the person that
01:42:01 The person who
01:42:06 You're such a dope,
01:42:08 Making movies wasn't
01:42:10 You were the problem.
01:42:13 Don't stop being a child.
01:42:17 No one wants that,
01:42:22 Guido...
01:42:23 there probably isn't a single
01:42:26 hasn't been touched in some
01:42:31 That's your gift, that's
01:42:34 Use it.
01:42:36 Just use it with some
01:42:45 The only movie
01:42:49 I don't know.
01:42:53 Would be about a man trying
01:42:58 Sounds perfect.
