reason, in a word, scandalous. "

Good!

"That's what Marchetti

would like to be, but isn't.

All the references

make up a consistent discourse

in which the common denominator

is banality. "

I'm sorry, Guido.

"To provoke doesn't mean

to exhibit naked bodies,

but floor people with them.

However, the only body that floors

is the artist's wife's... "

There's the a**hole!

I'm going to talk to him.

Don't, just rise above it.

I am, that's why

I'm going to talk to him.

- May I?

- Sure.

Do you realize

the crap you wrote?

What would you like,

a retraction?

You can retort,

then I'll counter-retort.

What then?

I'll really lay into you.

How will you lay into me?

I don't write well about

undeserving people like you do!

I'm driven by passion.

You have no idea what passion is.

Your work is all fake,

a pretence of being.

And besides, listen...

having your wife strip in public

as if it were improvised,

is immoral.

I don't want to offend you,

your work is naive art.

Stand up,

now you can counter-retort!

- You're crazy.

- A**hole!

Let's get out of this sh*t-hole!

Grandma's sweethearts!

Darling!

- Did Mom give you breakfast?

- No.

No? Come with Grandma,

there's a surprise for you two.

You'll let me smoke a cigarette?

Honey, welcome.

Hi.

- Guido?

- Forget him.

Thanks, I even dreamed about it!

- Hi, Auntie.

- Honey, hi.

I already know how to use it.

This kid is so good!

- And me?

- You too, you're both good.

Where's the film,

I'll shoot something right away?

Oh my, I forgot it!

You can do without,

you're just playing, right?

See what Grandma gave me.

A movie camera!

Who knows why Grandma

gave you one!

- You told her.

- No, not me!

You'll never betray me, will you?

Stop it!

Mom, can we go swimming?

What time did we finish eating?

An hour ago,

so when can you go swimming?

In two and a half hours,

want to die of congestion?

- No.

- Then don't wear me out.

You're my whole life!

If you were forced to choose

between Guido and Serena,

who would you choose?

- Both.

- What answer's that?

Let's say they divorce,

who would you go with?

It's a stupid question.

- Not with your Dad, huh?

- I'd go with both.

Is your brother dumb

orjust acts it?

He's dumb.

- What is it?

- What are you doing here?

Nothing, it's too windy outside.

Where's Dad?

I'd like to know that too.

Now that it's legal,

you and Dad will divorce, right?

What are you saying?

I'm going swimming.

You can't, you just ate.

I don't care,

I want to die of congestion.

- If you die, I will too.

- I don't care.

You know, right?

You can't always get

out of everything with hugs,

let go of me.

- I won't let go.

- Serena, let go of me.

- Let go of me!

- I won't.

You've become strong.

Did you know

that UFOs built the pyramids?

A writer says so,

I believe in UFOs.

Writers say a lot of crap.

Nice evening, huh?

Why doesn't Dad come?

What did the papers say?

Great, great.

Did Rossi Zoldan

give you a good review too?

Like?

'Malicious'.

'Troubling, outside the rules'.

'Disturbing to the mind

and heart'.

Beautiful.

All positive things.

What is it?

- What is it?

- Nothing.

- You have such a face!

- A face? No.

- You're laid-back, strange.

- No, I'm not.

Daddy, you're back?

- Can I get in bed with you?

- Come to Daddy.

- I'm here too!

- You come too.

Here he is,

Daddy's little rascal!

Guido, see what Grandma gave me.

Nice, will you lend it to me?

I want to take the kids

to France this summer.

France?

I don't want to, why should

we go? We're fine right here.

In fact, you aren't coming,

it's just for women.

It's a place for feminists.

Helke invited me.

- And me?

- Stay in your studio in Rome.

Isn't that what you like?

You always say you need free time.

What do you have in common

with feminists?

See? For once I want

to do something for myself.

You're taking the kids

to the beach?

Okay, when do you leave?

- To bed, c'mon.

- Can't talk anymore?

No, you can't.

Just one hitch,

there's no film.

Dad, will you buy me some?

Not now, there's another problem

to resolve, go to bed.

This France thing is absurd.

You don't even know the language,

so why?

You always say we should be freer.

I'll start, okay?

No, don't go to France,

I don't like the idea.

Are you ordering me?

What? Have I ever

ordered you around?

In fact, it's not an order,

it's blackmail.

Okay, it's blackmail.

If I go, you'll be sad.

You and the kids go,

I'll stay here.

How damned self-pitying!

What did you say?

You heard me,

how damned self-pitying.

Say yes.

Say yes.

Say yes.

Say yes.

C'mon, you idiot!

See who the blackmailer is?

You're nothing but a blackmailer.

A born blackmailer!

I agree, women have to insist.

If you don't insist,

you'll never receive.

And I also agree

that women should talk.

When my daughters have a secret,

I look into their eyes

and they spit it all out.

Mommy's doll, she's an open book!

- How are things?

- Fine.

Sorry about Milan,

that evening I was a little...

I know, that's okay.

You haven't said anything

about the performance.

Goodbye.

I think you have great potential,

but...

There's always a "but".

It's my first time going off

alone.

Will you call?

Sure, but you call, if you want.

- Are you mad?

- No, I'm the way I am...

- You're mad!

- No, that's what you say.

Dad got you some film.

- How much?

- Seven reels.

Thanks, I love you.

- Dario!

- Coming!

Dario, look where you're going

or you'll fall.

No critics that I care about came,

just that sh*t Rossi Zoldan.

Unfortunately Kounellis

had his exhibition that evening.

They just go see the famous

artists?

Don't you know that?

Art dealer dictatorship

has to stop.

What are your plans now?

I want to do the

Milan performance in Rome,

but not in a gallery, on the

street,

in front of a museum

or a police station.

What do you think?

It's an idea, isn't it?

What can I say? I don't know...

- Hey, don't say a thing.

- C'mon, Guido!

Hey, c'mon!

Forget it,

you've said enough for tonight.

Did Dario like

the Pirate Dog drawing?

- Sure, he's a kid.

- What did he do with it?

He put it up, that's what

kids do with all their crap.

- I'm glad.

- Go draw your can'toons.

I make money with can'toons,

you know?

- You're a sell-out.

- I'm a sell-out?

I'm a buy-out, not a sell-out,

I gotta eat!

- You're a sell-out.

- Buy-out.

- Sell-out.

- Buy-out.

We don't need anyone

telling us who we are.

We fight today so that women

will be free from oppression

in 40 years,

can travel like men,

both day and night.

There is no revolution

without womers liberation.

Coming?

No, thanks.

Get the camera!

What does dgueulasse mean?

You're the opposite of me,

your nose turns up,

mine turns down,

you have a large mouth,

mine's small.

You have large breasts,

mine are small.

You know, I'm for freedom,

free things,

autonomy, independence,

all that stuff,

but you can'tjust up and leave,
