Paese del sesso selvaggio, Il (The Man from the Deep River)

---

I've had enough. Let's go.

Sure. After this match.

Come on! Like that!

This is horrible. I can't take it! It's brutal!

Come on! I think it's really exciting.

You need this to get excited?

Come on! And you? What do you need?

Don't let up on him! Left! Give him the left!

Hey! I'll make a bet. - How much? -Five bucks.

Hey, my friend... Why you wanna

bother me when I'm drunk?

Hurry up!

At your service, Mr. Bradley.

Okay, Chuan.

What time do we get to Kan Koy?

Before dark.

Why'd you choose this job?

I always see new faces. And

it's not tiring, being a guide.

Let them pass! You don't hear them?

Eat my dust!

You know who that idiot driver is? My father!

You're good, Chuan!

Take care of the rickshaw. I hope I'll be

finished in a week and can go back.

Sorry... Another two dollars

for the parking lot attendant.

Take it.

Some advice... Stay on the main river.

Don't take side streams. Could be dangerous.

Okay, okay, don't worry. By the way...

You know how to keep your mouth

shut? If anyone asks you about me...

You've never seen me, right?

Sure!

It's good. What kind of fish is it?

We're in luck. It was pregnant.

There were fish eggs.

But what is it?

Swamp snake.

Drink. You'll need a shot of whiskey

after this sh*t. Good disinfectant.

Damn! Too strong!

I'm tired. I'm going to sleep.

Remember to put out the fire.

Try to rest. We've got a hard day coming up.

I'm beginning to miss Europe.

Yes, Mr. Bradley?

Thanks. I've noticed there aren't

any more villages around here.

We've gone too far, Mr.

Bradley. I don't know this area.

We better get going. I feel nervous.

Come on, don't worry. Tomorrow

we'll be done and we'll go back.

I'm gonna rest now and

then go for another dive.

I want to see if I can get a

picture of those fluorescent fish.

Would it bother you if I played

the flute? I'm not sleepy tonight.

Chuan... You know how far London

is? Ten thousand kilometers...

Ten thousand kilometers of land and sea...

Is London like Bangkok, Mr. Bradley?

No, it's different. Completely

different. But it's got its attractions...

It's cold... There's the fog...

What's fog, Mr. Bradley?

Fog is like smoke... Dense, gray...

It's like being in a ghost city...

You walk streets that all seem the

same. There's the light of streetlights...

Asleep, Mr. Bradley?

Chuan! Chuan!...

Where'd you go off to? Chuan!

Tie him up! Quick!

Lahun... They caught a fish-man, a big one!

Tie him to the pole!

Let everyone see... Let it serve as

an example to the other cannibals!

Bring them here!

Have pity!

You don't deserve pity! You're animals!

Tuan! Hurry, hold them!

Stop! Murderers! Stop!

Maray! Maray!

Take him down!

He's a fish-man who lives in the deep

parts of the river. He could be dangerous.

He's not a fish-man. He's just a man.

He can work, father. I want him as a slave.

Come on, fish, come on!

Go under! Under! Come on, fish-man!

Enough! I've had enough!

Stop! Leave him alone!

You belong to me now. Come out!

Thank you, father!

When will this nightmare end?

What do they want from me?

They think I'm a kind of fish because

of the wetsuit? If I could at least

communicate with them...

This unbearable stench...

You're beautiful, Maray.

Let me out! I can't take it anymore!

Let me go! I want to get out!

I'm a man! A man like you!

Tuan! Tuan! Make him

work in the water! Naked!

Eat. It's good. I'm telling you, it's good!

Go away!

You... American?

My God! You speak my language?

Quiet! You listen! Me little

girl... Missionaries in my tribe

teach me your language... I found in

jungle... Village not know I help you...

I set you free today. Feast of the sun.

Maray will be a bride in ten moons...

Today you don't work. Feast of the sun.

Untie him!

Stop! I'm here!

Don't go! Don't leave me here!

Karen, stop! You can't kill him,

he belongs to me! Go away!

If there's a helicopter, there

must be a white village near.

I have to escape, or I'll go crazy...

You sick...

Listen, help me to escape.

Not now. When you get better, strong.

Karen no good. Maray very

sad, marry before the rains...

Please help me. Get me a canoe.

Along the river... Over the mountains...

big danger... the Kuru are fierce

Cannibals... You can't make it alone.

A month's gone by... A month of

hell. The wedding hut's finished

and I haven't been able to talk to the

old governess. Only she can help me.

Why doesn't she show herself?

What could have happened to her?

This is old tribal rite. From now on

she doesn't belong to the dead man.

The woman is free now.

If you want to escape it's a good

time... Karen not here... Go! Quick!

Karen! The fish-man got away!

Quick! Follow me! Hurry!

Over here! Hurry!

Stop! He's mine!

Here!

Stop! He won... don't kill him.

I didn't make it. It's all over...

I'm sorry.

Take him away. He's under arrest...

But don't hurt him. He's won.

Rest, Karen. Rest...

In three moons you'll be a warrior. Resist,

Maray wants you to. Little arrows...

Great pain... you must not die...

I can't take anymore...

And it's only the first day...

How can I get through this?

My wounds are killing me...

The sun's blinding...

But I musn't fall asleep... I can't...

If I sleep I'm done for...

My throat's burning...

I'm so thirsty... thirsty... Maray, I'm thirsty...

Go away!

Thai! Thai!

Come on, eat... go ahead...

This sword is yours... along

with the strength of the warriors.

You've now earned wisdom.

Thai! The little's boy's ill!

He's suffocating! Run, quick!

Diptheria... It's very serious...

There's no time to lose.

No! It's the evil spirits. Lahuna, send him away!

He's dying, Lahuna. We've got

to save him before it's too late!

Hold him tight.

Today's an important day for our

village. One of you will become

my daughter's groom...

This necklace is a token of my

affection... I'm sure you'll be worthy of it.

Now go. My daughter is yours.

Let her be fertile. Let her be fertile...

Bradley! We've got it!

The net!

Are you tired?

You're more beautiful like this.

My man... I loves you...

I LO VE you. No, Maray.

You think you love me.

But you don't know what love means yet.

You're doing better, eh?

Sit down. I have to tell you

something very important.

All of us feel great joy

today... Maray's pregnant.

Baby... The sorcerer... he said he'll be strong...

A son! My little savage!

You must break... It brings good luck.

Maray! What's the matter? You feel ill?

Don't worry... It's normal.

I feel better now... Much better.

Six months have gone by.

Day after day of a new life

I hadn't thought possible.

Civilization... my job... London... the world...

...it's all so far away, useless and strange.

Now my world is this faraway village.

My reason for living is Maray

and the son I'll have with her.

A son! He'll need me, his father. He'll

be a little rebellious savage. Like you!

She's yours!

I come from this country... here's my city.

What's a city?

A city's like a great village, full
