"The Burning Body" "– Haven't you gone to bed yet?" "– I'm going already, mom." "What are you doing?" "This projector daddy bought doesn't work." "I'm fixing it." "Go to sleep now." "Oh, no." "I've found the defect already." "It's here." "Leave it for tomorrow." "Just a little more, mom." "– Ten minutes." "– Ok." "– Can I have a whisky?" "– At your command." "– Hey, pretty." "– Hi." "– How is the party downstairs?" "– Just like you know..." "Hello..." "In spite of your husband, your party is magnificent." "Marcia, this is Julia." "Look, I have a painting you cannot miss." "I'll tell you more about it later." "And then?" "How is the party?" "So-so..." "The Count hasn't arrived yet." "If he doesn't come it will be disappointing." "Boo!" "Go away!" "Go away!" "Get out of here!" "My friends, I need a candidate to help me to wait for the Count." "You, you, you... – Me, me!" "– Wait a sec over there." "You, and you!" "We've got nothing to do besides waiting the Count." "Listen, let's create a game to see if we can bear this boring party." "As long as we're friends only of her, we have no excuses to avoid slaughtering the husband." "Let's put fire in everything, and save only the paintings." "After all, we're the ones who obliged them to buy everything." "I need to see you again." "Marcia..." "This is my wife." "This is the painter Jirakawa." "Nice to meet you." "Good evening." "Was the party good?" "This is for you." "It is the best thing Jirakawa ever made." "Definitely." "Jirakawa didn't want to sell it." "But as long as it was for you..." "There is no evolution." "In this case, informalism is a necessary consequence of our radical nihilism." "Chromatic distortions and ambivalent grounds clearly reflect the aesthetic attitude of modern men." "That is, unfaith, that, at the same time, is one sort of faith." "However, with abstract and destructive impulses." "To me, what matters is the emotional exchange between the painting and I." "For example, that small white dot that illuminates all." "To create and to destroy, to unite and to separate, are instinctive intuitions to the painter." "How many times one destroys or one is born after a first gesture?" "Anyway, painting is always an exorcism." "And exorcism is the emotion that satisfies me." "No, no, no." "I think it's quite different..." "In painting, before, it was all about another thing." "Let me try to explain to you." "All this nomenclature is surpassed." "Now, what we're looking for is a transcendence that, at the same time, is a penetration." "An organic bond, with internal incitements." "I don't understand well what you say." "I am in a furious phase." "I am painting with my two hands and my mouth, at the same time." "It gives me a great physical pleasure." "Sometimes, I feel an urge to paint the walls and people's faces." "To erase everything and to do it again." "I feel a great impatience." "I would like the world was a white frame, colorless and shapeless." "With nothing on it." "Then..." "Then we would be able to start all over." "(in Spanish) Yo creo que la cuestión es realista." "Por qué el proceso de crear tiene que ser algo definido?" "Are you coming tomorrow?" "Existe una gran diferencia entre instinto y emoción.." "Jirakawa, you know how much I admire you." "But you have to become aware that the position of a modern painter must be different." "Painting is like planting rice." "You have to search behind the leaves." "The trend is for solutions that are more and more mistaken." "May I know what's the matter?" "It's nothing." "I can feel it is about me." "If this thought gives you pleasure..." "You waited too long yesterday, didn't you?" "I'm sorry." "At 9 I was still in Guaruja." "And we lost a whole hour at the ferry." "I could not get there earlier than 11." "I wait for you tomorrow at 3 PM." "In my place." "Right?" "What was up with these guys tonight?" "I don't know." "– The problem about your friends..." "– Mine?" "!" "Well, they're closer to you than to me." "I'm not the one with artistic vanities." "That's true." "The problem is that..." "I know it already." "These intellectuals." "And what about your friends from the factory?" "They are even more annoying." "You're the one who had the idea for tonight." "You wanted so much a painting from that guy." "I thought you would like to get it with everyone around." "I did like it." "My aunt lent me the keys to the house in Itatiaia." "I'll go there with Robertinho the day after tomorrow." "– Will he like it?" "– I don't know." "If he is like me..." "When I was a child it was my favorite place on Earth." "Up there." "I am even afraid of going back after so long." "Robertinho will make you crazy." "It's better to take one of the maids along." "I don't need it." "Try to enjoy it." "You have been too nervous." "Me?" "No." "Me." "And I'm not the only one who thinks this." "Lately you look nervous to everyone." "I was born like this." "I always feel something inside me." "Burning." "The Count has not arrived yet." "If he doesn't come it will be bad." "Listen, can you check things around, please?" "Do you want it?" "I know it's hard to explain." "Don't say anything." "What's the matter?" "Say it to me." "It's nothing." "I don't know." "You are distant." "Do you think so?" "I don't like it." "It offends you, right?" "– You only want to see me..." "– Don't start it again." "She had a very content look." "A bed's look." "Do you really want to talk about that?" "No." "No." "That's what frightens me." "In the end it's all the same." "What's the matter, then?" "None." "That's what's tragic." "There is no problem." "It should be more important." "People get so close, like this..." "So..." "I don't know." "But it is important." "No." "What do you want to do?" "Nothing." "Should we talk about it?" "I'm going on a trip tomorrow." "We talk about it when I come back." "You don't want it anymore." "Or will you do what you said and find someone else?" "Put that record of mine." "Hello." "How are you doing, dear?" "Not now, dear." "The maid has made some tasty food today." "I'll only have a glass of milk." "Maybe later." "Is this a hangover from yesterday?" "Was the party good?" "I told you already it was not a party." "Oh, wasn't it?" "Where did you go?" "As long as you didn't call I decided to go out." "I called you." "– But at what time?" "– I couldn't call your earlier." "You wanted me to stay locked in here." "Where did you go?" "To Lucia's." "Again?" "Where do you want me to go?" "– You know Lucia is a whore." "– What do you want me to do?" "Two years in a cage." "– Why do you leave me here?" "– I told you already." "I couldn't call." "That was yesterday, and what about the other days?" "Are you telling me the truth?" "Do you like her, after all?" "Perhaps he just mistreated you so you would stay with him." "And the next time you look, you will see a remarkable person." "And next Monday, at the same time another movie of the series..." "I have to go, dear." "After all that, you go to your place." "To sleep with your wife." "And I stay here alone." "They're going to travel tomorrow." "And so what?" "If it goes like you say." "I'll stay with you tomorrow." "I want you to stay tonight." "Don't act like that, dear." "It's been more than a month since you spent a night with me." "And you only stay when you lie to your wife, saying you will travel." "What do you think I'm going to do with my life?" "I need someone next to me." "You warned me, I know." "But I can't bear it anymore." "I want to have a regular life, just like the others." "I want a child." "I feel a void inside because of this." "Burning." "Did you bring everything?" "Go inside and bring me my toy car." "– You played enough already, kid." "– Boring." "– Be careful on the road, honey." "– I will." "Bye." "– Bye." "Will you take my gift?" "– I will." "– Tomorrow?" "– No, not tomorrow." "Later." "– But be good to your mother." "– Ok." "Bye." "Look, mom, how many pretty things there are inside." "See how pretty, mammy." "Look, mom, all you can see." "Mom, we're higher than everyone else!" "I didn't know the madam would come." "I almost had no time to do anything." "I'm also going to prepare some eggs." "No, it's good already." "Thank you," "Everything is almost like it was before." "Only the furniture has changed." "The house is pretty much abandoned." "No one else comes." "In the last two years your aunt only came once." "This place is very isolated." "Everyone goes to the beach." "Want more, mom?" "I remember your mother well." "Mrs. Laura." "She died, right?" "Four years ago." "Have you been here for a long time?" "I was born here." "How do you spend your time?" "Well, my husband doesn't like to go out." "The TV doesn't work here?" "No." "Only in Resende." "– And don't you go to the cinema?" "– Once in a while." "It's very far." "– And we usually sleep early." "– At what time?" "– Around 8 PM." "– It doesn't work." "– I think the batteries are dead." "– Uhh." "This is my husband." "– Good evening." "– How are you?" "I'm sorry about the bad lightning." "The alternator doesn't work well." "– It has to be fixed." "– It's good to me." "Thank you." "If you need anything, we're at the house uphill." "– Good night." "– Good night." "Good night." "– Good morning." "– Morning." "Haven't you seen a black horse around here?" "No, Sir." "With nothing on the mouth." "And the four pads ironed." "– He probably has passed by around here." "– Not here, Sir." "I don't know what happened." "He disappeared three days ago." "And he even could eat from my hands." "As if he became crazy." "If you see him, warn me in my farm." "I cannot lose this horse." "Come." "Why do we have to go so high?" "Oh, that's so boring." "I'm tired, mom." "I can't take it any longer." "– Come on and don't be afraid." "– But what are we going to do up there?" "Nothing." "We are going to look around." "Is this where you used to come when you were little?" "Sometimes." "When I was allowed to." "I doubt you could bear to climb." "I could." "And without complaining." "I loved to climb." "– I'm afraid, mom." "– Come." "– And what if we get lost, mom?" "– There's no problem." "We light a fire." "The fire will shine the whole night." "Everyone will ask what it is." "And it will be us." "Your Majesty, the King of Stones." "The King." "– Come with me." "– No." "I sit here." "Because you are the King." "Beware, mom." "He looks rough." "Is he rough, mom?" "Is he?" "Is he?" "He is." "Robertinho." "Come here." "Thank you." "It's also for you." "And your brother?" "Thank you." "Clippity-clop, clippity-clop..." "Look the man over there, mom." "– I'll tell him about the horse." "– Don't do that." "– Good morning." "– Morning." "One of my men told me he saw my horse around here." "Did you see it?" "No." "I didn't see anything." "We brought a mare in heat." "He's going to show up when he smells it." "I'm sure of it." "– Goodbye." "– Goodbye." "Come." "– Hi, son." "How are you doing?" "– Good." "– Good morning." "– Good morning." "Did you bring it?" "– Yes." "– Where is it?" "Take it easy." "Let me see what is it, pappy." "Why are you so happy?" "Just because I travelled?" "Of course." "Conjugal vacations." "I'm going to Rio." "I came by car to see you on the way." "That's it?" "Press here." "Vrroom." "Arf, arf, arf." "Bang." "Bang, bang." "Ouch!" "Let's go to that place again." "Not there." "It is very far." "We could go up instead." "The horse, mammy." "– It's beautiful." "– Yes." "Be careful." "Go after him." "Like that." "Stop now!" "What a beautiful animal." "I missed you a lot." "Me?" "I almost went there to visit you." "You came back vivacious." "Me?" "I think I got old sooner than everyone else." "And it was a life that passed in a blink." "I couldn't even see it." "Why are you never honest?" "Who said I am not?" "And why should I be?" "There was a time when I tried to be sincere." "– Really." "– And should I believe in this?" "It's true." "Everyone started to think I was annoying." "I lost charm, lost women and lost opportunities." "Everyone stayed the same." "No one improved." "Not even I did." "It probably was better than the fantasy world you live in." "No." "It was not." "I prefer like this." "The lukewarm truth:" "I don't annoy anyone, and everybody likes me way better." "– And this is important to you, right?" "– Yes." "Get him, Dill!" "Let's go that way, that way!" "Now..." "Now!" "Where is him, Dill?" "I went after him the whole night." "When I lassoed him, he dragged me through the floor." "I shot five times." "– Did he die?" "– He ran away, wounded." "He shall be dying somewhere." "– Marcia." "– Please leave me alone." "– Listen." "– I know you don't understand, but..." "– Are you still here?" "– I fixed it, mom." "Just see it." "No way." "Go to bed." "Well..." "This was the sweetest one." "Look, that's you!" "See daddy." "That's you, scared." "See it?" "Watch out, mom!"
