All language subtitles for Albert 1985

The sledge of his excellency.

I see you won't
make it, man.

Oh dear, don't sleep.

You have to dance.

There are guests there.

Anna Ivanovna
has forbidden it.

-Where are you going?
-Don't be affraid, I'll behave.

-Who is it?
-Just one crazy musician.

He sometimes
visits our madame.

He had to sleep here once.

What a terrible man.

Ladies an gentlemen,

Dmitry...

Excuse me...

You go dance too.

Go, sirs are inviting you.

Mr. Albert, are you hurt?

I told him not to dance,
he's so weak, he almost can't walk.

- Who is it?
- A poor man...

A musician...

Very good man

but a poor man.
You see for yourself.

It's nothing,
I don't feel anything, look.

It's nothing.

Sirs...

Let's play.

What a weird man.

The melancholy in b dur.

We should give him something.

He hasn't played so badly.

He's just a poor man after all.

We should go.

You should attend to music.

To play for an audience.

-Great wine.
-Music is able to cheer up a man so much...

Yes.

But I don't know you.

Are you a count or a duke?

Couldn't you
lend me some money?

But I won't be able to give it back,
I don't have anything.

It's alright.

Take it as an earning
from us all.

Thanks a lot,
I'll play you whatever you want.

-Please, sit down.
-But first, give me a something to drink.

I'm sorry,
I'll be frank with you.

I was really caught
by your playing.

But it seems to me
you're not wholly alright.

Let me offer you
my services.

I'd like to help you.

You know,
I'm all alone.

So, if you wouldn't find it unpleasant,

you could for some time

to be at my place.

Why won't you thank?

It'd be a charitable act from you,

-but...
-I thank you.

I'm very grateful to you,
but now, please, let's go to play.

Let's go.

Sirs, it's too soon.

-It was my pleasure.
-Don't go, please, it's too soon.

-Good night.
-Good bye.

Sirs...

Sirs don't go,
we'll play something more.

-Are we going too?
-It's too late.

What a pity.

Just a moment,
I've forgotten there something.

-Do you really have to go?
-Yes.

Good night.

You're really noble,
dear Dimitriy Ivanovich

but to be frank
I do have certain doubts.

Don't be affraid,
Anna Ivanovna

I know what I'm doing.

Mr. Albert,
where are you going to?

Mr. Albert...

Zakhar, get him.

-Whom, the poor man?
-Don't you listen? Get him.

Just go.

What's up?
Let me be.

My credentials are alright,
I haven't stolen anything.

Why are you so rude?

-Calm down, mr. Albert.
-Where are you dragging me?

To my place.

We have a deal,
don't you remember?

At Anna Ivanovna.

Anna Ivanovna...

I know her,
very good madame.

Let's go back to her.

Dmitry Ivanovich...

Let's go back there.

I'll be playing for you...

We'll play beautifully...

There's always fun

at Anna Ivanovna.

So much fun...

Are you sleeping, Zakhar, or what?

Wake up, you bear.

You wouldn't belive, Dmitry Ivanovich,
he's sleeping just as he came.

He didn't want to undress,
I swear.

He's really an artist.

Zakhar, go to Buryozovsky
and ask him for a violin in my name.

For two days.

For mr. Albert.

Let some
fresh air in, Zakhar.

When he's awake
give him a coffee and a clean sheet.

Take care of him.

-Where am I?
-At our place.

My master brought
you here yesterday.

Where from?

From Anna Ivanovna,
don't you remember?

What is your
master's name?

Delesov, Dmitry Ivanovich,
very good master.

I see.

He's even arranged
a violin for you.

Later.

Wouldn't you find
a sip of madeirian?

You shoul eat something.

You look very weak.

At least a glass of Vodka...

I'll eat after that.

So you don't have
a madeirian?

But we do, we do.

We do have even a madeirian.

Of course we have it.

Here.

You really enjoy it.

At my former master's
I knew one...

Now I'll play for you.

Which one
do you like most?

The one about Stenka Razin.

Enough, enough,
go, go.

Forgive, please,

forgive to the old fool Zakhar.

What should I forgive you?

Yesterday...

At the coach...

Forgiv, please, to an old fool.

Forget it.

I don't remember
anything anyway.

Zakhar, where's the dinner?

- Here, Dmitry Ivanovich.
- And for mr. Albert?

Mr. Albert left
right after the noon.

He took the violin too.

He said he'd be back
in an hour, however he hasn't arrived yet.

How could you
let him, Zakhar?

How could I not let him,
Dmitry Ivanovich.

If you told me to keep him here,
I'd keep him here.

But you commanded
only to give him some clothes.

Unpleasant,
very unplesant.

What did he do
without me here?

I'll tell you the truth,
even Isler has only few such artists.

Such an artist can play
anywhere.

How only he played
about Stenka Razin...

A man wanted to cry.

People from all the floors
came here to listen.

Well, that's good.

Did you give him
some clothes?

Certainly.

I gave him your old night gown
and the coat.

Then I washed him
and put him into the steam.

One has to help such a man.

We have to find him,
don't give him anything to drink then.

Or it'll be worse with him.

You're right,
Dmitry Ivanovich.

It's evident
that his health is broken.

My former master
had an accountant which...

For sure it seems weird to you

why I've brought him to our place.

How come,
Dmitry Ivanovich,

you need not to be interested

in what I think.

Tell me, Zakhar take care
of mr. Albert,

and I will.

Tell me, Zakhar throw
this Albert out,

and I will.

A man does something
for someone else in so few cases

that he should be grateful
actually

when he gets such opportunity.

And I won't let go
such opportunity.

I'll do for him
what I can.

It won't cost me much
in any case.

Where one can eat
two can as well.

As you think,
Dmitry Ivanovich.

But first we have to find him,
haven't we?

That's true.
You know what, Zakhar?

Make my bed and then go
and fetch him, understood?

As you command,
Dmitry Ivanovich.

When I'm supposed to fetch him,
I will.

But from where?

I believe
you'll find out.

Silence,
mr. Albert!

So, how it was?

He's a poor man,
Dmitry Ivanovich, a poor man.

- Is he drunken?
- He's very weak.

- And the violin?
- He's got it, we've got it.

- Don't let him here now.
- As you command, Dmitry Ivanovich.

- Do you want to sleep already?
- I think you should too.

Who'd think about sleeping,
as I've been to Anna Ivanovna now.

Very pleasant evening,
we've been playing, laughing,

great company.

If you'd let me,
I'll have a little cup.

- That's water!
- Zakhar...

- Go get a bottle of wine
and the violin. - I will.

It's too soon,
I'll play whatever you want.

Let me ask a question.

The man you were with
last evening, wasn't he a son of the famous...

Yes, his own son,
why are you so interested?

I thought so,
something strange was in his movement.

Aristocratic.

But he was there only lying
on a sofa...

I like aristocrats.

There's something beautiful
and gentle in everyone of them.

Even the officer.

I like him very much too.
He was so noble and gentle.

The one who pushed me down
when we were dancing.

- He has to be a great man.
- That one?

- He's quite an empty boy.
- No, no, no.

There's something pleasant
in him.

- How he only understands music...
- Do you think?

Of course,
not as much as you do, but...

I'd better go,
it's too late.

What will you play for me,
mr Albert?

You'd like to?

Sure.

Thank you, Zakhar,
you can go to sleep.

Let's drink then.

Do you like classic music
or rather something new?

Of course,
only the classic music is music.

Such Bellini or Donizetti
can't be listened to.

No, no, old music is music,
but new music is music too.

Even there one could find
something nice.

- Could I pour you?
- No.

Why don't you drink?

What about singers?

- LaPlange...
- He was good once

but now he is old.

He can't be an artist
since he is old.

What about that he is old,
he's still an amazing morseau d'ensemble.

What about that he is old?

But he's not supposed to be old.

The art needs many things,
but the main thing is fire.

- You don't know the painter Petrov?
- No I don't.

What a pity.
What a pity.

I'd like you to
get acquainted with him.

How only he understands
the art.

I've been meeting him at Anna Ivanovna
but is angry at him for some petty thing.

He's a big, huge talent.

- Where does he exhibit?
- Pardon?

Where could
I see his paintings?

Paintings?

I don't know that.

I think
he doesn't paint at all.

But such thoughts!

When he's talking
a man has to be amazed!

Petrov is a huge talent.
A huge one!

But he drinks too much.

And that's a shame.

Would you like to go
to the opera with me tomorrow?

Me, to the opera?

I can't go there.

Once, when I was
first violinist there...

But now?

I don't have anything.

I don't have clothes
I don't have a flat

I don't have a violin.

What a miserable life.

Everything could be arranged,
with your talent...

You believe me?
Thank you...

No, no, no.

That can't be arranged.

If you only knew
everything about me.

That can't be arranged.

I drank too much.

I will tell you.
I will tell you everything.

Because I like you.
Even if I know that

I'll possibly have to leave
after that.

I don't believe you're capable
of doing something bad.

You don't?

You do believe.

Not only that you believe,
you're even sorry for inviting me here.

No, you're not sorry,
you're affraid of me.

Do you know
what I committed?

Sure, you don't know.

- What do you say?
- I don't get it.

That's it.
That's it.

You don't get
how could I afford it.

I don't get it
neither now.

But then, imagine,
and that's the horror,

then I thought seriously

that I had
a right to do it.

You possibly
don't understand me

I get that you
fell in love

I don't understand
what do you blame yourself of.

I understand.

You want to say

- that I could fell in love, right?
- Yes, it's natural.

But I made
the second thing too.

Wait...

How it was... yes. Yes.

I kissed her hand,
here on the wrist.

- I'm sorry.
- And after that?

What do you mean,
after that?

There was no
'after that' since then.

It was all over for me.

- And that's it?
- You don't get it?

I confessed love to her.

In public.

In an overcrowded thatre.

Me, a humble artist.

To a lady from
the top society.

I didn't realize that then.

I thought that since
I am the best violinist in Petersburg...

I was young and succesful...

It can confuse a man.

Is that all?

The general in her lodge

was her husband.

Can you imagine?

Very powerful general.

I was fired from the theatre
immediately.

Not only that I can't
play in the orchestra

but I can't even visit
to look at others' playing.

So what.

Why would I go there?

Do you know Euristem Walzer?

Enough with the merry.

I'll go.
You're not going?

Where to?

To Anna Ivanovna.

There's an amusement,
people, music

Oh no,
why would we go?

- Just for a minute.
- No, don't go. It's too late.

Stay at home.

At home, you mean,
at your place?

Good, as you think,
I'll stay.

Good night.

Yes, Dmitry Ivanovich?

Don't let mr. Albert out tomorrow.

- It's for his own sake.
- As you command.

You're right.
He's a poor man.

Zakhar. Zakhar!

Are you here?

Hey!

You haven't understood a man,
who lives among you.

Petrov?

You haven't understood him!

What's he doing here?

He's not a corrupted artist
who obeys your commands without thinking

- He's not a fool!
- Right!

Right.

- He's not a lost man.
- Right.

He's a genius.
A big musical genius.

Who rots among you
in disgrace and shame.

- No, no.
- Mr. Albert, mr. albert.

Calm down,
calm down.

Drink this.

A little medicine
is inside.

You have to sweat out.

- Have I been sleeping?
- You've been suffering from fever.

- A fever?
- Yes.

Thank God.

Wait, wait.

Thank you, Zakhar.

So what, mr. Albert?

I've heard you're sick.

It's nothing.

You can congratulate me.

Since today I am

a court's advisor.

I congratulate.

Calm down,
mr. Albert.

I've got good news
for you too.

Hear me out
and make your decision after that.

Today I've talked about you
with the theatre director.

He'll take you back
very gladly.

If you let him
to hear you playing.

Really?

But he knows me
very well.

He knows
how I play.

Or is it another director?

No, no.
It's the same director.

But it's another general.

Your one
has retired lately.

That's how it is.

No, thanks.

Is it your last word?

In that case, please.
Just drink.

I'm limiting myself because of you,
I care, I arrange

and you treat me like a criminal
who closed you in a cage for his own joy.

And the main thing is
that you don't want to do anything for yourself.

Please,
just drink.

And if you want,
you're free to go.

Even though
I'll be sorry for that.

Because in a few days
I'll arrange a soiree with its excellency attending.

The secret courts' advisor, general
Stepan Stepanovic Maslowski, do you understand?

And if he likes your playing

You'll become
a first violinist in the opera again.

You don't have to play
in front of the theatre director, naturally.

I understand
it'd be degrading for you.

Like I said...

But if you think
I'm limiting you here

so please,
you're free to go.

Dmitry Ivanovich,
with your permission, I'd like to try it.

Thank you for everything
you've done for me.

I'll try
not to let you down.

You know, Dmitry Ivanovich,
if only we wouldn't wear him to death.

He's still playing and playing.

He doesn't touch
the food.

Do you hear?
It's really an extraordinary talent.

So I must not
to let him drink.

It seems he's not lost
after all.

Even my former master
had an accountant...

Give them to him,
maybe they'll help him.

and the accountant
had to stop drinking at once too.

In a short time
he lied straight on the desk.

Haven't you heard?
Bring him the books and don't chatter.

So what?
How do you feel?

If only I could drink a little.

- At least a little cup.
- No, not now, after the concert.

His excellency, secret courts' advisor,
Stepan Stepanovic Maslowsky.

Hang in there.

It's really an honor...

- Polka. - Here, to this ear.
I can hear a little with this one.

- It's Polka.
- How come Polka?

How come they're playing
Polka, when I'm dancing Waltz.

What a shame.

- When we'll play cards?
- Cards?

Cards? Right after
the appearance of mr. Albert.

You'll be very satisfied
for sure, your excellency.

Please.

Ho completely stopped drinking.
And how he plays now!

You mean the Albert.
Show him to me finally.

I play preferans
most gladly.

It's not possible. Dmitry Ivanovich
commanded not to let you out.

I can't, really, I can't.

- Let me out!
- It's not possible.

I'm sorry, Dmitry Ivanovich,
but he drank a bottle of vodka,

found keys somewhere
and he wants to leave.

You forbid it
so I don't want to let him out.

Nobody has the right
to hold me here. Nobody.

I don't want to hold you here.
But stay at least for this evening.

Nobody may hold me here.
Nobody. Do you understand?

- Nobody may hold me here.
- Let him out.

But why so much crying?

Nobody's holding you here,
please.

That's it Dmitry Ivanovich.
What will happen to him now? Alone

in the night, without money,
without wraps...

A poor man.

You have to excuse mr. Albert

but he's not, how should I put it,

too conscious.

I warned you
Dmitry Ivanovich.

You shouldn't go to far
with the charity.

I'm sorry, your excellency,
but he seemed to be allright.

Yes, yes, allright.

I hadn't so much fun
for a long time.

He played it very well
as he were completely drunken.

A big talent,
a big talent.

You didn't manage
to wear me to death.

Where

Where I wanted to go.

I see, there.

They wanted
to wear me to death.

They didn't manage it.
They didn't.

I see you won't
make it, man.

How was called
the second one?

Albert... Albert!

Very funny man,
he looked like he was drunken.

- Good bye.
- Good bye.

- Good bye. - Good bye.
- Good bye.

No, no Abdul,
don't open.

You can't go in here.
Nobody's here.

Today masters are enjoying
themselves at Dmitry Ivanovich.

Yes, scorn him,
hurt him and humiliate him.

But he's standing and will be standing
infinitely higher over you all.

Bow to him
to the ground

- Fall on your knees in front of him!
- I don't want to fall on my knees in front of him.

Why should
I bow in front of him?

Has he acted
honorably and justly?

Has he benefitted for the society
in something?

Don't we know
how he borrowed money and didn't return them?

He took a violin from his friend
and put it in a pawn shop.

Where does he know
all of it from?

Don't we know
how he flattered people

- in order to get money for drinking?
- Stop it already.

Shame on you.

Don't we know
why he was fired from the theatre?

What right do you have
to accuse him?

Did you live his life?
Did you experienced his extasy?

Right, right.

The art is the highest
demonstration of human capabilities.

Even here there are heroes
who sacrificed all serving

dying before
they reach destination.

That's not
your case.

I don't know you.

Go away
or you won't make it.

Go your own path.

Thank you for guidance
and once again good bye, sirs.

Good bye, a kiss at your hands.

We'll see each other
in the opera tomorrow.

We'll come for sure.

Tomorrow then.

For God's sake, sirs,
somebody's lying here.

- Mr. Albert.
- That Albert again.

Look where
he's lied down.

He was here, he wanted to go inside,
but you commanded not to open.

That's a sin
to let a man to froze to death.

Anuta,
put him somewhere.

No need,
my master will take care of him.

I said
to put him in a bed.

Actually, no need.
Dmitry Ivanovich will handle him better.

So what.

Ha made his own decision.

Zakhar, no.

I won't go.
I can't.

I said, Dmitry Ivanovich
is not angry too long at anyone.

You won't do it anymore,
will you? Why to do such foolish things?

They're yours.

I told you, he gets angry,
but he also forgives.

They're yours forever.

Mr. Albert,
Mr. Albert.

Dmitry Ivanovich,
Dmitry Ivanovich, he...

He's sick.

This will help him.

- Haven't you understood?
- As you command.
