The World According to Ion B. Page #2

---

87

00:
10:38,542 -- 00:10:43,058

They took him in out of pity

and it's been 5-6 years now.

88

00:
10:43,222 -- 00:10:45,941

Nobody put him to work.

The super wanted to set him up

89

00:
10:46,102 -- 00:10:48,536

with an employment record,

so that he could have

90

00:
10:48,662 -- 00:10:50,857

a retirement fund.

He refused it.

91

00:
10:51,022 -- 00:10:54,810

You've asked me, I've answered.

He's a great artist!

92

00:
10:56,342 -- 00:10:58,981

What can one do with a drunkard

who, most of the time,

93

00:
10:59,142 -- 00:11:01,337

doesn't even know he's own name?

94

00:
11:01,582 -- 00:11:04,050

You'll see, ma'am...

Come to the gallery.

95

00:
11:04,182 -- 00:11:08,141

May God make him stop drinking.

Do as you think fit.

96

00:
11:09,422 -- 00:11:12,459

Wow, you're all dressed up!

A real dandy!

97

00:
11:12,582 -- 00:11:14,777

I don't want

the neighbors to see me.

98

00:
11:15,502 -- 00:11:20,530

One of his problems was

the place he was living in.

99

00:
11:21,182 -- 00:11:27,576

I've found him a studio where he

could live like normal people do.

100

00:
11:29,422 -- 00:11:34,542

The yellow one. So this is it:

Red, yellow and blue.

101

00:
11:35,462 -- 00:11:39,296

Starting from here, okay?

Red, yellow and blue, just like...

102

00:
11:50,782 -- 00:11:52,340

Don't lose the keys!

103

00:
12:05,342 -- 00:12:09,972

I'll be here for two more weeks.

I'm really cleaning the place up.

104

00:
12:10,142 -- 00:12:14,613

- Why two more weeks?

- Well, 'cause... last night I...

105

00:
12:15,382 -- 00:12:21,571

C'mon, pops!

Turn around! Al Capone...

106

00:
12:48,902 -- 00:12:51,541

I'm neither Andreea Marin,

nor Rduleasca.

107

00:
12:51,982 -- 00:12:55,611

I'm Ion Brldeanu,

collage director.

108

00:
12:56,902 -- 00:13:00,178

Ion, first of all,

you have to tell me,

109

00:
13:00,302 -- 00:13:03,977

roughly, at least...

When did you make them? 1990...

110

00:
13:04,142 -- 00:13:06,576

Oh... I can't remember,

I'll estimate it.

111

00:
13:06,702 -- 00:13:09,216

Yeah, estimate it. '90-'91.

112

00:
13:09,342 -- 00:13:13,221

If I had know there was gonna be

an exhibition, I'd have signed them.

113

00:
13:13,382 -- 00:13:18,410

Before... Last century, I mean...

I'd have never written my whole name.

114

00:
13:18,582 -- 00:13:21,494

- I'd have put only '89, '80...

- Yes, exactly like that.

115

00:
13:41,382 -- 00:13:42,815

'82.

116

00:
13:48,182 -- 00:13:50,412

- Do you like this cardboard?

- Yes.

117

00:
13:51,862 -- 00:13:55,411

- It needs...

- No, don't write your name there!

118

00:
13:55,702 -- 00:13:59,854

I don't, I just wanna

cover it up a little bit.

119

00:
14:01,582 -- 00:14:04,813

Now it's hard to write my name,

it has to be on the line.

120

00:
14:05,342 -- 00:14:08,618

If I had a rubber stamp,

I wouldn't work myself so hard.

121

00:
14:09,582 -- 00:14:11,220

It's better this way.

122

00:
14:11,462 -- 00:14:14,340

Many people have asked me

about this timber here.

123

00:
14:14,542 -- 00:14:19,980

I just measure it. I failed math,

but I'm pretty good with geometry.

124

00:
14:21,182 -- 00:14:26,097

There are more dots over there,

and less over here.

125

00:
14:26,262 -- 00:14:28,571

But I start at the centre,

so that it'd look

126

00:
14:28,742 -- 00:14:32,530

like a real classroom.

And these are in pen, glued together.

127

00:
14:34,342 -- 00:14:37,618

Here we have a Nazi Chaplin.

This is the real Brigitte Bardot.

128

00:
14:37,822 -- 00:14:39,540

- Really?

- Really.

129

00:
14:41,262 -- 00:14:43,822

This is "Gogu's Revenge".

130

00:
14:46,662 -- 00:14:48,812

This one wanted to shoot him

with the Mauser.

131

00:
14:48,982 -- 00:14:52,258

The Germans

had this gun during the war.

132

00:
14:53,622 -- 00:14:57,535

The guy in jeans wanted to shoot Gogu

on the sauerkraut keg.

133

00:
14:58,662 -- 00:15:02,211

But look at Gogu's precision.

Hadn't he thrown the axe in time,

134

00:
15:02,342 -- 00:15:05,414

he'd be dead, that's for sure!

Bang!

135

00:
15:08,662 -- 00:15:12,496

Lino Ventura, Steve McQueen,

Mircea Albulescu, Mircea Diaconu.

136

00:
15:14,422 -- 00:15:19,542

- This one is a French actor.

- Unbelievable...

137

00:
15:20,582 -- 00:15:23,255

At first, this was a drawing

and then...

138

00:
15:25,542 -- 00:15:27,692

This one is taken

from a Turkish newspaper.

139

00:
15:27,822 -- 00:15:33,897

He's a "squint-eyed", the quack!

The way he's holding the cigarette!

140

00:
16:07,262 -- 00:16:10,060

I've been in this neighborhood

for more than 25 years.

141

00:
16:10,222 -- 00:16:11,894

I still had my hair...

142

00:
16:28,542 -- 00:16:31,932

If I'm going back to my village,

I won't even know my own folks,

143

00:
16:32,142 -- 00:16:34,133

it's like I've been born here.

144

00:
16:35,582 -- 00:16:38,301

I've lived in that building

for 22 years.

145

00:
16:48,382 -- 00:16:52,091

- Why did you leave?

- Well, they threw my out.

146

00:
16:56,302 -- 00:16:58,770

- Why?

- I was aggressive...

147

00:
17:03,662 -- 00:17:06,540

I'll tell you about it,

but some other time. Not now...

148

00:
17:09,382 -- 00:17:14,217

I've framed about 16 of them.

149

00:
17:53,982 -- 00:17:57,691

He's the king of the magazines.

150

00:
17:58,542 -- 00:18:02,694

He's been gathering stuff,

so he has enough to keep on working.

151

00:
18:02,862 -- 00:18:06,059

As far as I understood,

he hasn't made anything in 10 years.

152

00:
18:07,262 -- 00:18:10,891

After all these years,

I wanna make somethin' new.

153

00:
18:13,782 -- 00:18:16,899

I don't wanna get rich,

I only want the bare essentials.

154

00:
18:18,302 -- 00:18:21,453

But I'd really like

one of those basic bikes...

155

00:
18:51,102 -- 00:18:53,491

What did you fear

the most in your life?

156

00:
18:57,382 -- 00:19:00,579

Ceausescu!

Can't you see how much I love him?

157

00:
19:04,782 -- 00:19:09,697

In '79-'80,

I started hating the communists.

158

00:
19:12,862 -- 00:19:17,219

They put me in jail

'cause a grave digger denounced me.

159

00:
19:19,782 -- 00:19:22,535

I was digging graves

without a permit.

160

00:
19:22,702 -- 00:19:25,500

I can still dig a grave.

You don't need a degree for that.

161

00:
19:26,462 -- 00:19:30,580

Those in Bucharest treated me as if

I was an international criminal.

162

00:
19:35,982 -- 00:19:39,054

There was a captain Tamas.

A moron, with capital "M".

163

00:
19:39,942 -- 00:19:42,172

He was in charge

of the collectivization

164

00:
19:42,302 -- 00:19:44,611

in Zpodeni County,

just like my father, before him.

165

00:
19:44,782 -- 00:19:49,094

They were mates.

And he said:
"You, rascal,

166

00:
19:50,742 -- 00:19:53,381

you've ashamed your father!

167

00:
19:57,382 -- 00:19:59,622

You'll spent 3 months in jail!"

168

00:
19:59,622 -- 00:20:03,297

Everything was very strict.

The smart ones had left the country.

169

00:
20:04,302 -- 00:20:07,851

For years, I've earned my living
