All language subtitles for Les Corps Ouverts (1998)

OPEN BODIES

Thank you, my boy.

I really have to go.

Don't come home too late.

I don't want to lose you.

You don't give a damn about me.

That's life. Can't help it.

You're fooling yourself.

All right.

I'm off.

Sit down, please, Marc.

Please sit down.

- What's your name?
- Rémi.

- Is that your real name?
- It's because my mother is French.

So what do you do?
Student? Worker...?

I'm still a senior in high school.

- Majoring in...?
- STT.

- ST what?
- STT. Business and Management.

Do you like it?

Some things I like.

What do you like?

- Classes are a drag.
- Oh yeah?

And the teacher looks even
more bored than we are.

- Don't you have class right now?
- I do.

- So you're cutting class.
- I wouldn't have gone anyway.

Tell me...

What are your interests?

...I don't know... What interests you?
Movies, for example...?

- Or did you come in just to kill time?
- No, I'm interested. For sure.

What kind of movies do you like?

...Movies?

Scarface.

- Do you know who made it, directed it?
- Brian De Palma, I think.

Good.

Good, and who's in it?

Al Pacino.
Amazing leading role.

Really great film.

Can you tell me what it's about? I don't
remember. I saw the old version. You?

It's better than the more recent one,
in my opinion.

I don't know.
I've only seen one version.

The latest one, I think.

I'm younger than you.

So you want to make movies.
Yes, very much.

Maybe not like Pacino, but...

- You want to be an actor. - That's it.
- Why is that?

Because I like it... Movies...

...Cameras...

Cameras. You see one over there.
But it's a video camera.

So... so I'm warning you that...
that I'm filming you right now.

That doesn't bother me.
Anyway, that's why I'm here.

There's no one here?

No, but others came in before you.

That's how auditions are done.

I prefer to be alone with people,
so that I can...

...talk to them,
get to know them a bit.

- Do you know what the film is about?
- No, I saw the ad at school.

Then...
That's all.

Have you seen what time it is?

This can't go on, Rémi.
You're pushing it.

- You could at least apologize.
- I'm sorry.

- You keep fucking up, and no apologies.
- I'm sorry, Rachid.

I don't have time now.
We'll talk tomorrow.

- Bye.
- See you tomorrow.

Thanks.

What did the doctor end up saying?

The usual.

That I'm slowly getting back on my feet.

You know what?
I might have found a new job.

Pays better than the store.

It's not sure, but
I'll know in a few days, Inch Allah.

- Doing what?
- Acting.

If it works out,
I'll have the lead role.

- How did you find this?
- There was an ad at school.

I went for it.

They liked me.

What's this film about?

I didn't really understand.
The film is a little strange, but...

The guy who's making it is all right.

Who'll be in it?

They didn't tell me.

- Is the guy making the film well known?
- Dunno. I told you, they didn't tell me.

I'm not even sure they'll hire me.

I hope this won't stop you from
studying for your graduation exams.

Because movies won't
feed you down the line.

It's important for you
to have that diploma.

Afterward, you can do what you like.

I know.

I promised you I'll have it.

- You can trust me.
- I hope so, son.

...I am Lieutenant Columbo...

What's the matter with this Nicolas?

We went to his place...

We went to his place and...

And what?

Are you telling me you slept with him?

I didn't want to.

What do you mean?

You get yourself fucked,
and then you come crying?

Hi.

Hello.

- What the hell are you doing here?
- Having a drink with a friend,

can't you see?

- Can I talk to you?
- Now?

Yes. Now.

- Wait for me?
- Go ahead.

Who's that guy?

He's a friend, Marc.

- You've slept with him?
- Of course not.

The way you think is all fucked up.

I waited for you.

I'm sorry.

What the hell were you up to today?

What were you up to?

Enough.
I apologized. Enough.

- You slept with him?
- You're a fucking pain, Marc.

I told you no.

You're lying.

- What did you do?
- Want to know what I fucking did today?

I went to a porn theater.
I fucked a guy.

He was my age. I didn't even think
about you. He was hard as a bull.

I let him do me.

- Leave me alone.
- Come on, easy.

- Let go.
- It's OK. I'm not mad at you.

- I know.
- I don't care about your story.

I know. Let go of me.
Don't you see I need some fucking space?

Stop spouting nonsense.

Let go of me!
You're a fucking pain.

I swear. Look, you're making a scene.

Let go, asshole.

We should have never fucked.
Let go of me, you faggot!

Don't touch me.

- Hello.
- Hello.

Well... Here I am.

I know you were eagerly waiting for me.

I'm substituting for your
Economic Law teacher

who is on maternity leave.

My name is Mme Biass.
I'll write it on the blackboard.

There. That way you'll remember.

Good. We'll spend
the whole year together.

This has been confirmed.
So I'm here to spend the year with you.

This is a key year

since it's your graduating year.

For some of you, it's the homestretch

because... you're waiting for your
diploma to begin your working life.

And for others... well...

it's the necessary passport
to higher education.

It's a very important subject that allows
you to understand the world you live in.

I really stress that particular aspect.

You must manage to decrypt
the information you're given

every day as you listen to
the radio, watch TV.

You're given a lot of information.

And it's important for you as citizens

to understand your environment.

Thanks.

- Do you want a cigarette?
- No, thanks.

- It'd make me happy.
- I just smoked one.

- Want another?
- If it makes you happy.

Thanks.

Light?

Thanks.

You come here often?

Yeah.

I like it.

I waste all my time cruising.

- What's your name?
- Rémi.

- You?
- Sébastien.

Sébastien's a nice name.

It's the first time I...

I can see that.

Did you want us to fuck?

If you like.

We don't have to.

Sébastien.

May I kiss you?

If you want.

I don't know.

- All set?
- Yeah.

Well, bye.

Bye.

Good.

Let's take it again.
From the top of page 13.

Pick it up at
"What do you know about it?"

What do you know about it?

- Tell me, what do you know about it?
- Find a way to get a rise out of me.

- Tell me, what do you know about it!?
- I just know, that's all.

I'm flat. Wait, let me do it again.
Pick up at "What do you know..."

OK.
Still page 13?

- Yes, 13.
- Tell me, what do you know about it?

What do you know about it?
What the fuck do you know about it?

- But I... Go on, cue me.
- What do you know about it!?

I just know, that's all. I haven't
forgotten what you said the other night.

Remember?
What did you say the other night?

What did you say the other night?

- Is it "Sometimes...?"
- Yes, quickly. What did you say...

What did you say the other night?
What did you say?

Sometimes I do...

- Sometimes I do... stuff I don't und...
- Keep up. Don't read. Learn the line.

"Sometimes I do stuff I don't understand."
What did you say the other night?

- Sometimes I do stuff I don't understand.
- Say it like you mean it.

- What did you say the other night?
- Sometimes I do stuff I don't und...

I can't act.
I don't feel right. I can't act.

- Go on.
- I can't act. I can't.

- Why? Are you uncomfortable?
- No, it's just...

...You're moving a little too fast.

What did you say the other night?
What if I say it quietly like that?

- Look at me and say, "Sometimes I do..."
- Sometimes I do stuff I don't understand.

Don't act it. Feel it.
You're overdoing it.

It's like you're outside
talking to a pal.

I'm not your pal in the story.

- OK?
- OK.

What did you say the other night?

- You know, sometimes...
- You said what?

What did you say the other night?

I don't remember anymore.

- Hi there.
- You cool?

- Did it go OK?
- I'll say. 25 bills today.

- 25 thou? - 25 bills.
- Not bad. - Yeah, business is booming.

- What's up? Going to class?
- Nah, I'm skipping.

- Me, I'm going. - You're going?
- Yeah. - Bye.

- It doesn't bother you not knowing
anything about me? - I don't care.

I know enough to have
wanted to sleep with you.

What if I told you I don't like women?

At your age, all guys are misogynists.

What do you mean?

- Wait, that's not what I meant.
- What did you mean then?

Nothing.

No, no. Say it.

Go on.

- Say it.
- Stop.

Are these for decoration?

Or do you read them?

No. Just decoration.

You're making fun of me.

I write poems too.

- Oh yeah?
- Yeah.

Do you want to hear one?

Love.

Love, I don't understand.
Love, I know no more.

Love, I think I've lost you.

You alone knew to...
No. Wait. Yeah...

You alone knew to forgive me.
Your smile will never leave me.

When I look upon the stars
They tell me of your veil.

Your hand on my face,

You cradle me in your cage.
Forever prisoner

Under ground, but

Above the light.

- I can't remember the rest.
- It's good.

- You're kidding me. - No.
- Stop. - No, it's good.

Really? That's nice.

You're home already?

Come closer.

You have to be strong, my son.

I won't always be here.

You know?

I'm afraid for you and
your sister sometimes.

You are both still...
so fragile.

And here I am, sick.

You have to be tough, my son.

Where's Julie?

Julie.

At her friend's.
You know...

Jamela.

It's just us men tonight.

- I'll make us something to eat.
- OK.

I can't stay long.

I'm working at the grocery store tonight.

- OK?
- OK.

You can put your fist through my face.

I deserve it.

Come on.
We'll stop with the nonsense.

I don't feel like talking.

Plus tomorrow I'm working at 6.

So either you stay and come to bed
or you get out of here. It's up to you.

The movie won't get made.

When you came to the audition,

I already knew it.

In any case, I don't give a damn.

Why aren't you saying anything?

Because I have nothing to say.

Are you always like this?

Like what?

I don't know...
With your mom, what do you talk about?

All kinds of things.

Dunno...
I talk

about school. She talks about work.

You want some toast?

Not hungry.

I'm useless without breakfast.
You talk with your dad?

He travels often.

- Travel? What does he do?
- Sales.

Wait, that's not infused yet.

- It is.
- Yup.

Go ahead.
Pour.

Your mom works?

- Does your mom work? - What?
- Does she work? - Yeah.

You're too curious.

I've taken an interest in you.
You might have noticed.

Then give me some sugar.

Please.

- Is there some in there?
- Thanks.

What are you going to do
after you graduate?

Not college, that's for sure.

What, I don't know.

I can help you. I could...
find you work on a film set.

I don't know.

We'll see.

We're not married or anything.
So be cool.

- You're right. - I'm kidding.
- I got that. It's no big deal.

There exist two possibilities,
two avenues of growth

for a company.

Internal growth
or external growth.

So what is internal growth

and what is external growth?

How can we define
these two strategies for growth?

Rémi.

M. Rémi Amrad.

Can you answer the question?

No. Go back to sleep.

You're working too hard.
That's why you're tired.

Just do like me.

With the dough I made, I can
move out of my folks' with Sophie,

We can get a small studio.

- For real?
- Yeah. It's smart business.

Are you hooked on her?

No, not really.

- How's that?
- I don't have a clue.

I don't know.

- Why aren't you seeing Aïcha anymore?
- Aïcha... - What about her?

- Not really my scene.
- Oh yeah?

Which means, you have
your sights on another chick.

Could be.

Who is it?

I have something going
you don't know about.

Is she hot?

- Not bad.
- Not bad?

So she's hot then.

She has a little beard
on the chin, but hey.

- You're not going to tell me it's Maria.
- No way.

Wait. Don't do this to me.
I'm sure I know her.

About this joint?

Don't change the subject.
Tell me about the chick.

- Fuck.
- I'm sure I know her.

- I'm telling you, you don't.
- Would it be Sophie then?

- Little liar.
- No, I tell you.

- It's Jamme.
- No.

You're cracking me up.

Inspector...

...Columbo.
No, seriously.

If I tell you, you'll never believe me.

You don't know her, but

it's not a chick.

- Can you hurry up?
- Wait, dammit.

- You're killing me here...
- Help me out with this.

Put it on top.

That's good.

You stressed me out.

You haven't told me
what your film was about.

Do you feel up to playing
the role of a misfit?

Misfit.

Misfit meaning...?

A guy not like everyone.
A guy with uncommon desires.

Uncommon, as in...?

A guy attracted to other guys, let's say.

How do you mean?

- Does your film involve kissing?
- Yes.

- Would you feel up to playing that?
- Well...

I don't know if my father would
accept my doing things like that.

You don't ask his permission
when you skip class.

- OK. I think we'd better stop here.
- Wait. That's not what I meant.

I just meant,
that pissed me off a bit, that's all.

But...

we can always do a few tests.

I don't even know if I can act.

But we can try.
