00:00 So what's been going on Ivan?

00:01 Nothing's been going on doctor, nothing's been going on at all.

00:05 Everything's still the same as it always was.

00:09 My mother is still a mad old crow.

00:12 She's in a state of complete denial now Michael.

00:15 She's got one eye on the grave

00:17 and the other eye reading all these magazines

00:20 about how at her age life is just beginning.

00:22 Alexander sits at his desk all day

00:25 and writes and writes and writes and writes and writes

00:27 scratching and scrapping, cutting and writing some more.

00:30 It's the paper I feel sorry for.

00:31 He's not made a single film in 17 years Michael.

00:38 He's dry as a bone

00:40 and this old fucker is now living on his first wife's money,

00:43 my sister's money, Anna.

00:45 May she rest in peace.

00:47 The maestro himself is now living on her potato farm

00:51 not because he wants to

00:52 but because he can't afford to live in the city

00:55 even though he is a, what do they call him?

00:59 Generational defining filmmaker.

01:03 Do you know he's been given three honorary doctorates.

01:07 Three, doctor, doctor, doctor.

01:10 And for what?

01:12 For what?

01:13 Nothing Michael, nothing at all.

01:15 He's never had an original idea in his life.

01:17 His only successful films were adaptations.

01:20 [laughter]

01:27 And even they were, what, adequate.

01:30 I wouldn't go generational defining, for fuck's sake.

01:33 And he's so pompous Michael

01:35 and he never fucking shuts up

01:37 and the luck that fucker has with women.

01:41 Not even Don Juan de Marco

01:46 has the luck that that old fucker has.

01:49 Anna, you met Anna.

01:50 Of course I did, Ivan.

01:51 Well how beautiful was Anna?

01:53 She was, Ivan, she was very beautiful.

01:56 Really though Michael, she was, she was.

01:57 She was lovely.
