Original subtitles

At night, before I fall asleep,

I always spend a couple of hours

thinking,

reflecting,

and I even have nightmares.

I use some of them

when I make my films.

The others fade away.

I've decided to tell you about some,

almost as they happen.

We'll start with the first.

It's called

"Rear Window."

Massimo

is watching Hitchcock's REAR WINDOW on TV.

The story of a man, James Stewart,

who witnesses a crime

while looking out of his window with a pair of binoculars.

He's seen the film twice,

he really likes it.

When the film ends,

something suddenly occurs to him:

"My house overlooks a courtyard, too.

And I've got a pair of binoculars."

I thought Doyle would be here by the time the trunk left,

or I'd have called the police. Now we're gonna lose it.

[Argento speaking to director] ...on me and turn.

[Argento speaking to director] I'll say the last bit.

Help!

Help!

Help!

He saw it.

He too has seen a crime.

What should he do now?

Massimo leaps into action, knowing that

he has two advantages over the protagonist of the film.

The first is that

James Stewart has a broken leg,

while he is in full health.

And second, he saw the crime

before it happened,

so he can save the woman.

Grabbing his knife, he lowers himself down onto the balcony of the apartment.

But the rope breaks

and he falls.

As he lands, the knife stabs him deep in the stomach,

and the glass case that he hits

contains snakes

which now start to attack him.

Massimo lives out

his own nightmare.

The police come to his rescue.

"|t's okay, kid, you made it," says the cop.

Massimo starts laughing.

I've had

an idea.

Maybe some of you

would like to appear in my “Nightmares?

Would you like to be in my dreams?

I'll tell you next week!
