So, here we are with Lou Reed's Femme Fatale.

Don't call me that. I don't like it.

So, we are all really proud that a big star like you

is living here in Manchester, and not in Paris or New York.

Well...

um, this city reminds me of... of Berlin after the war.

When it was all in ruins and, um, I like that.

Yeah. Um, so...

do you want to tell us something about your experience

with the Velvet Underground?

No, I don't.

I...

I started making my own music

um, after the experience with...

the Velvet Underground, in 1968

and um...

it was Jim Morrison's idea. He...

he asked me to write down my dreams.

- And... - 1968.

I mean, that was like almost 20 years ago!

Yeah, that's... that's right.

I mean, those must have been

some of the best days of your life!

Well, we... we took a lot of LSD.

That was... what we did.

I'm... I'm sorry about the interview, Nico.

Uh, next time I'll make sure

we get somebody that knows more about your career.

Don't call me Nico.

Call me by my real name, Christa.

Yeah.

You're Jewish, Richard?

Er, yes, I am.

Oh, I thought so. By the name.

Do you have a problem with my being German?

No, of course not.

My father, he was a rebel.

He helped a lot of Jews.

The Nazis killed him before the end of the war.

So... this is the place.

Nice little house, perfect for one person,

cozy and... Please.

Sitting room, dining room,

uh, the kitchen is behind and...

Let me show you the bedroom and the bathroom.

In some areas the ceiling is rather low,

but you'll get used to it.

The boiler is quite noisy, but it works perfectly well.

You must turn it on

half an hour before having a shower.

And don't forget to turn it off when you finish.

Don't worry, sir, I take showers very rarely.

I...

Oh, yeah, right.

The lady is so charming.

Is she married?

No, she isn't.

Oh.

She's brilliant, isn't she?

Fascinating!

Interesting, yeah.

Look Max, I don't mean to blame you, yeah,

but you had a couple of hesitations there

that confused me.

I... You gotta be more careful.

I think we did Okay.

It was the first time we played together.

- We never rehearsed. - Yeah, well,

you played fucking fantastic, so...

best thing in the show!

Jane, set up a couple of beers.

It's a nice club you have here.

Yeah, well, it's going pretty well.

But I don't like being a club owner,

I like the idea of having my own artists to manage.

Hi, it was a beautiful concert.

What's your name?

Maia.

Maia.

Thank you.

Young people are boring.

Yeah, but the world belongs to them.

Do you really believe that?

No.

Well, you're... Yours... you're from Manchester.

- Yeah. - Um...

And Sylvia, you're Polish, right?

No, I'm... I'm not Polish.

- Oh. - I'm not Polish, I'm Rumanian.

- Ah. - So, you're okay

doing all the driving,

with... everything on the wrong side?

Yeah, it's fine. A bit weird.

Brilliant.

That's good stuff.

Yeah, it's good stuff. Of course it's good stuff!

You know, I... I lost it and then I found it

under my boot.

Can you believe I walked on this for weeks!

Look at it, I mean, it's good stuff, yeah.

Open the window.

You wanna do another one?

- You wanna do another one? - Yeah.

Your link with Paris is strong.

Yeah.

Your son lives here, if I'm not mistaken.

Yeah, his... his name is Christian Aaron.

I call him Ari.

Wo And Ari didn't grow up with you, is that right?

Uh, well, he... he... He was with me.

I mean, he spent the first four years with me

and then he moved to his grandparents' in Paris.

Um, his um... his father's parents are French.

His father, you say, but he never recognized him.

No, he didn't, but his mother did,

as soon as she saw him. I mean, he's the exact copy

of his father, so...

Yeah um...

She adopted him, and...

took him away from me.

I was too young and...

and crazy to take care of him, so...

Is he in music business too?

No, he's um...

- He is a photographer. - Oh.

Yeah, he makes beautiful pictures.

He's very talented.

Um...

is it true that he recently tried

to commit suicide?

Yeah.

I... I just have a, uh, temporary cash flow problem,

Nico, I promise that in four days

you'll be sleeping in the best hotel in Anzio.

Okay, brilliant.

So, for us, four days is not soon enough.

Could we be please in the best hotel

in Anzio, tomorrow?

That'd be really really brilliant.

Please.

Yah, Scusami Domenico, uh... I don't understand uh...

Oh, thank you for having us in your home

It's okay, you're welcome,

you can stay in my place four days, no problem.

- Okay, so what we'd like is... - Nico!

Uh, it's an honor for me to lodge you.

I'm...

I am a big fan of yours, especially,

your... your solo production.

Where... where did you get this? Uh...

I made it.

I like it.

- Yeah. - Present.

It's a book of poems by Wordsworth.

1951 edition.

I, uh found it in Paris.

Oh.

Uh, the first poem, The Prelude,

is the one that you got the name

of your first album from.

Oh...

You mean The Marble Index.

No, I got the title of that record from...

From... from Coleridge,

Samuel Coleridge.

Really?

Yeah. But thanks, anyway.

What did you say?

There is an American military air base close by.

They're all over Italy!

Americans. They're everywhere.

You shouldn't take drugs before playing.

Playing an instrument requires concentration.

And you're a good player.

You're so sweet.

Where do you come from?

It's like you're from another planet.

Yes, I am from Rumania.

I heard Rumanian women are crazy.

Why? Who told you...

Bloody hell.

Hello, good evening.

Hey. You're all right?

Yeah, and you?

No, sorry don't...

Nico...

- are you looking for something? - Do you have any Cola?

Yeah.

Oh, wonderful! Wonderful.

Mm...

You know, I suffered hunger as a child,

during the Berlin blockade.

Then later I started modeling and I had to be always

on a diet.

It was terrible.

I love eating so much.

Nico...

you made a big mess tonight.

Ah, well, he got me a band of amateur junkies.

Hm.

They are all amateurs except for the violinist.

She's good.

Why don't you replace them?

No, it's not easy to find people who want to play with me.

Good people, I mean.

I don't care.

I really don't care about music anymore.

I don't believe it.

It's true!

You know, I've been on the top,

I've been on the bottom.

Both places are empty.

"My Heart is Empty,"

your best song for me.

Yeah.

I miss my son so much.

I never see him.

I was too young to take care of a kid by myself.

I screwed up.

Yeah.

- What's this? - What?

The yellow bottle.

- This one? - Hm.

No, nothing.

Can I have some?

No. It's... it's um...

it's Limoncello. Liquor,

it doesn't go with pasta, it's shit and it's sweet.

The bottle is too precious.

- No. - Yes, it is.

Ma no, Ma no, a friend of mine made it. And...

It's been there for a long time. It's an old bottle.

I don't even know how it is. But...

- If you want... - Yeah.

Mm... delicious!

Thank you for this wonderful meal.

You're welcome.

This is one of the best hotels of the area.

I see.

The view is nice.

Hm.

Nico is a star, Richard.

This is, uh, the least I can do.

What she did yesterday was bad.

Ah, Richard, was... was very bad.

The city doesn't want to pay the hotel.

But...

the hotel manager...

will let her stay here for free.

For free?

Well, I... I only sang three songs with them.

The rest of the time I was... I was playing

the tambourine in the background.

I did the same thing when I was a model. I...

I was there for my image.

Look...

My life started after the experience

with The Velvet Underground,

when I started making my own music.

I'd rather we talked about the present and...

about... about the songs I am singing now, about the...

the record I am on tour with.

Giulio Barozzi, nice to meet you.

All right.

Well?

Me and a few friends from here,

we have a jazz band of local musicians.

We've been having a pretty good success locally.

- I am the piano player. - Yeah, he's a great artist.

And, uh, me and my boys, we would be honored

if Nico were willing to play for our guests.

Have you any idea of the type of music she plays?

Not really, but it's the same.

That lady is a piece of history.

I heard you were in politics before buying that club.

Is that true?

I was a member of the Labor Party.

I am actually a socialist.

That's ridiculous!

You don't have socialists in England.

Yeah, we do.

My whole family was socialist.

I could have pursued a political career, but...

not really my thing.

So you're a lawyer?

No, no I studied political philosophy.

Oh, but do you think you can you help me

get my son out of that hospital?

Um...

Well, last time he came out

he swallowed five grams of opium.

It's a miracle he survived.

I think he needs to be cured.

Am I ugly?

Yeah, really.

Good.

I wasn't happy when I was beautiful.

Well, you can... you can stay, if it doesn't upset you.

Yeah. Yeah, yeah. All right.

Oh, sorry.

Well...

we're ready.

Lisa...

I drank a very good liquor...

at Domenico's house.

Do you think you could get a bottle of that

before leaving the country?

Um...

yeah.

Good.

She never remembers my name.

Which I think, she probably does it on purpose.

Oh god, are you all right?

Yeah, I'm fine.

When the mental faculties

The court of law can determine those acts

that the person under legal protection

can do by his or herself alone

or with the assistance of a legal tutor.

One day I saw you...

in the garden with your grandmother

and you were playing with that...

a turtle.

Dorothée.

The name of the turtle was Dorothée.

Yeah you...

You had a lot of pets when you lived there.

Tell me about them.

I had a goldfish.

His name was Joujou.

You know, he lived for 12 years?

We fed him every day with mamie.

Why don't you come on tour with me?

You could um...

you could project your photos during my concerts and...

we could put up a show together, you and me.

Alex!

Alex!

They'll find it for Nico, and there'll be some for you too.

I love you so much.

Then why don't you stop taking that stuff?

Well...

I'm... I'm sorry.

Ay...

Hello. Laura, good to meet you.

- Good to meet you. - Milos.

Milos. Milos.

- Nice to meet you. - Laura!

- Uh, this is my staff. - Hi, hello.

And I brought a good friend of mine, Vladimir.

He wanted to meet Nico.

Uh, he doesn't speak English, he speaks French.

He's a very famous artist in Czechoslovakia,

Uh, he's well-known for his poems and songs and...

This is his most famous song.

It's beautiful.

Yeah, all right.

So...

Before we, you know, get into all...

Can you get your hands on any of the... the...

you know the uh, the white stuff?

You know China white?

Skag?

What?

Heroin.

We need heroin.

We couldn't bring it in because of the border.

I can't.

I take enough risks organizing the concert.

What do you mean, take risks?

I obtained authorization to do an art show

with the attendance of an unspecified guest.

The identity of this guest, Nico,

has not been revealed to the local authorities.

This is why your concert is illegal.

Uh, I don't understand.

We handed in a letter at the border stating

that we were playing here in Prague.

I know but the problem is the local authorities.

They always find excuse to stop concerts.

It's better if they don't know where it is, huh?

But how will the people know where it is? How will they know

- that Nico is playing? - They will know.

Somebody stole my passport and my money.

Who was it?

Have you checked your bag?

I've checked my bag, yes.

It must have been one of them.

Them, Christa? Who's them?

Yeah, you don't believe me, huh?

So, you... you...

you don't even know who they are!

So, You... You...

You're defending them because you are...

They're fucking communists, like you!

I'm so sorry.

Okay.

What the fuck is going on?

What is he doing?

What are these voices, what are they saying?

Coming here was such a stupid idea.

One of... one of the many stupid ideas you had.

You know, uh, I don't believe you Christa.

I'm sure that you understand what's going on here.

I'm sure that deep down you must be proud

of what these people are risking to see you perform.

You better believe that, you prick. I don't give a shit.

What?

Why do you wanna help me, Richard? What for?

I can help you with your son.

The signatures will be you and Ari.

The Royalties from the Velvet Underground

will go directly into this account.

And your share?

Well, I will have access to the account for my percentage.

But... if you prefer to make another arrangement.

Well, you'll find a way to steal my money, anyway.

Christa... I hope that you're not implying...

No.

Any news from the doctor?

Yeah.

Just the usual, French bureaucracy.

Well, I have the best Jewish lawyer.

I am not a lawyer.

Anyway...

Depends how he feels.

Yeah.

Good.

Thank you.

I see that...

you've been reading that. Finally.

Yeah. It's not bad.

We'll talk about it when I finish it.

- Yeah, well, bye. - Bye.

Oh, Mr. Daniels. I'm sorry,

- but I don't think that Nic... - Oh, but she said

she was going to see me.

Christa!

Uh... I brought you buttercups.

Beautiful.

Isn't he beautiful?

- Just like his mother. - No.

Just like his father.

So, welcome on board.

It's nice to have an Italian in the band.

- You still have it. - What?

The bracelet.

Oh, yeah, of course. I wear it all the time.

You could have asked me.

I would have given it to you.

Stealing it was more fun.

The thing is, Sylvia, this has been a long time coming

and he's just not in any state to go on tour again,

unfortunately.

Give him a chance, you have to trust him.

- He's clean now! - Oh come on Sylvia!

You're the only one who believes that.

Can I be the one to let him know, at least?

He's going to be devastated.

He already knows. I told him yesterday.

Happy new year!

Happy new year.

Have you seen my show?

No, I haven't, I'm sorry.

I liked the keyboard, Max is good,

but I... I think we need something more.

Would you like to play the violin next time?

I love the way you play.

Thank you.

Yeah.

Do you have kids?

Um...

No.

Good for you.

Would you have preferred

more commercial success over the years?

I... I can't stand that word, "commercial."

Commerciality.

I... I would like it to be on a larger scale, of course,

but... the audience... I...

I... I am very selective about my audience.

Selective? I mean, in what way?

Well, I don't need everybody to like me, I don't care.

Is it true that you travel around

with a portable sound-recorder?

Um... I mean, are you looking for something specific?

Yeah.

I'm looking for a sound I heard when I was a kid.

Not that sound in particular, but,

you know, the quality of it.

Um...

it was, um, the wind carried it.

And it was the sound of...

Berlin being bombed,

of the war ending, of the city burning.

It was, um...

it was a sound that wasn't really a sound.

It was, um, many things at the same time.

It was, um...

it was the sound of defeat.

I have to confess you something.

That story about my father being in the German Resistance.

It's not true, I made it up.

He died in the war as a soldier, like everybody else.

I'm sorry I lied to you.

That doesn't matter.

I liked these poems.

Even The Prelude.

I don't... I don't remember reading it before.

But you're right.

The title of The Marble Index it... it comes from there.

I must have been too high back then.

Well, of course, yeah.

There's this verse I really like.

I mean, I...

I didn't really understand it, but...

it's written for me.

It's about becoming old.

- Can you read it out loud? - Yeah.

"Though nothing can bring back

the hour of splendor in the grass,

of glory in the flower.

We will grieve not,

rather find strength in what remains behind."

I don't get it.

Well, what don't you get?

I mean, why does it say "remains behind"?

What's left should be in front of us and not behind us.

Oh, no, "remains behind" means it has been left behind for us.

But who left it?

Well, I don't know.

- Who? - It's not important.

Oh.

Christa...

I'm in love with you.

I'm getting married.

You are?

With Daniels, the landlord.

He wanted to sell the apartment,

but he didn't want to kick me out, so...

Oh I get it! It's a joke, right?

No, it's true.

As soon as I come back from Ibiza, in September.

I want to stop playing music and work in his flower shop.

I like flowers.

You don't like flowers.

Where is Laura?

I haven't seen her for a long time.

It's the first time you got her name right.

She's gone. Got another job.

Goodbye.

Come on Rick, give me a kiss.

You look after yourself. All right?

Bye.

If something happens to me...

Will you take care of him when I'm gone?

Yeah, of course I will.

Take your time, relax.

When you get back, we'll get started on a new record.
