This is Peter, he's my husband.

he is an avant-garde artist, a director, a painter, a writer.

He's always scribbling pictures and jot down new ideas.

he also creates art installations

Keeps interesting lessons that last too long.

I like the idea of ​​ancient documents, often in languages ​​you will never know.

In languages...

that you won't know...

never.

I don't know which one is sharper... Stand straight. As.

And she loves to play with words, the ideas, the concepts...

And to make it seem more authentic, you put useless dots in it, like this.

And no one will ever be able to make sense of it to my ranting.

Making sense...

to my ranting.

There is no single truth for him.

Then take a tissue...

and see what happens. Look a little.

Reality is constantly changing.

And he consumes books, at least one a day.

And he also writes books,

at least 10 novels await to be completed.

One day...

I love him.

I love him very much.

I'm not sure he loves me.

he has a very particular idea of the concept of love.

But I'm fine with it.

I believe.

- Tell me something about love. - We just did it.

Oh, Peter.

It is said that you can marry 5 times.

The first to leave home, the second to satisfy sex...

the third to have children, the fourth to become rich and the last,

perhaps the most important, to find a partner.

- You love me? - Certain.

Push yourself forward. A little more. Don't bow your head.

I still have to do the neck.

This is Pip,

our daughter.

Good morning.

Peter is no ordinary dad.

Peter and Pip find each other in art.

- Do you like it? - To you?

There's the notion of the hero, right?

Very heated, very vulgar, but consciously.

I like the encyclopedic nature of him. You know how much fun they had collecting.

Marcel Duchamp said that you can call art anything you want.

And I understand this ironic reasoning.

- Would you like to have it at home? - No.

This is the Greenaway alphabet.

It's an encyclopedia of Peter's “who, why and what.”

A, B, C, D, E, F, G, H, I, J, K, L, M, N, O, P, Q, R, S, T, U, V, W, X, Y, Z.

I'm sure some of these alphabets are incomplete, but this is not.

Peter, now 75, he thinks he wants to kill himself at 80...

The real value of an 80 year old man

it's not very big. - Does this mean you have to kill yourself?

With this alphabet, Pip will have access to herthoughts

and his way of making art when he is older.

If there is too much tempera...

And I guess it's like this, look, if you move it, then it drools.

So I try to hold on the dry brush.

Just random letters?

If we talk about it, it's not easy choose where to start.

A is for... B is for...

- Is this okay? - Your hand is in the way.

Lift it up slowly. Not bad, right? Make it a tall one.

TO.

- A in alphabet. - A of Amsterdam.

- A is for Amsterdam. - Why do you like living in Amsterdam?

I lived in London for 32 years. It takes a day to cross it.

In comparison, Amsterdam is smaller. They still describe it as a country.

And I like that it's almost completely made of bricks,

which is almost the only material of construction of the whole of Holland.

But there is a lot of mud, gravel and sand, which are excellent for making bricks.

If you look around, you see that the city it is made almost exclusively of bricks.

TULSE LUPER'S SUITCASES (2003)

Since it is a city made for pedestrians, it is ideal for cyclists.

Historically it is a democracy for almost 400 years.

It seems like a great city for people's lives.

As you can see, the largest building it's the Rijksmuseum,

with its many towers.

Ah! They have already reserved you a place, Rembrandt.

You have been nominated.

That's the bell tower of the Ancient Church.

Saskia is buried there, Rembrandt's wife.

This is me with Saskia.

Saskia van Uylenburgh, the cousin of Hendrick van Uylenburgh.

Saskia van Rijn, Rembrandt's wife, she was considered a very modest woman

and God-fearing.

she had very large feet

NIGHTWATCHING (2008)

And, I must admit, the most delicious and tight bottom.

Saskia, here she is, buried under this slab of rock.

There was a very strong bond...

when I met your mother, she that she now she's my wife.

Her name is Saskia too.

There is clearly a connection, which for me should be remembered.

Pip, why do you think I want to do a documentary about dad?

Why do you think it's special?

- A of Amsterdam. You start. - A of Amsterdam.

- A for autistic. Don't you agree? - We have passed the A, there is nothing else.

- A is interesting. You are autistic, right? - You think so.

Maybe autism isn't interesting.

- When you talk to me you don't look at me. - I try to refute your theory.

- You have no friends. - It is true. But do I have enemies?

- You might as well look me in the eyes. - Sorry, I was looking at that swan, interesting.

Your definition is very limited. There are various forms of autism.

That's not a bad thing in itself.

Autistic people are very sharp and they have enormous imaginations.

I might even be proud of it. Are you paying me a compliment?

- Yes. So A is autistic. - As you like.

In the eyes, in the eyes.

B stands for “birds”.

There is a big bird there.

Things? A condor or a vulture?

I admit that for me they are of great charm.

My father was an ornithologist very gifted amateur...

And I learned a lot from him.

I didn't have a great relationship with my father. We hated each other.

And it got worse because I went to art school, and he didn't want to.

He thought painting was a waste of time, so we were always arguing.

Birds.

I see the tea room where we went last time.

- We are here to see the birds. - Excuse me.

- There are no birds. - You have to know what you're looking at.

B stands for “birds”.

Birds are doubly lucky. They can sing and fly.

For me the simple excitement of the three-dimensional leap...

leave the ground, escape gravity.

That's what whatever human being would like to do.

- And you? - Yes, I would like too.

When I had children of my own, for the first time

I understood that something had to be done for this separation from my father.

And while I was wondering how to do it, my father fell ill with stomach cancer.

He took early retirement and died.

Because of a series of misunderstandings, not I was present at the moment of his death.

Many of my early films are dialogues that I wish I had with my father.

Often, seen that to him I liked birds...

There are many pictures of birds, of birds flying,

articles on birdsong, where they live and their various names.

Bearded vulture, plover.

The spectacular flight of starlings it became an obsession.

And the sound of jackdaws it became an obsession.

And the red beaks of oystermen they became an obsession.

I poured out these various interests

in a three-hour encyclopedic film called “The Falls”.

Different forms fascinate me of encyclopedias, not just books.

There are encyclopedias of objects.

And I use that method often in film making.

Like in one of the first films I made, it was called “The Falls”.

The 92 people featured in this film they have a name that begins with FALL.

I searched all the encyclopedias people whose names began with FALL.

The result was 92. And one of my favorite numbers is 92

because it is the atomic number of uranium.

And I believe that uranium will remain out there, whether we like it or not.

If we can handle it well, we will have energy forever.

If we handle it badly, it will be the end of planet earth.

Most people she was quiet.

I created films based on it on encyclopedias of 92 objects.

And does this movie have a plot?

There are 92 stories, but it's more of a statement in documentary form than a story.

Sometimes there are short stories,

but it tells you about 92 people who have been affected in some way

by a phenomenon called EVI, The Unknown Violent Event.

Which concerns people who transform into birds.

Melorder Fallaburr he is a flight historian

which is about to make the first flight not assisted by the tallest building in London.

The EVI had positive consequences on his sight and negative on his hearing.

The muscles of his arms, torso and back have thickened and strengthened.

His doctor called this phenomenon patagium fellitis or “bird skin”.

This convinced him that his historical knowledge about flight

should be put into practice.

It's a film about a sort of Icarus, the first man to fly,

the first in-flight disaster. But see it as an encyclopedia.

“What are you?” He asked. “I am a scientist amateur with encyclopedic interests.”

I am an amateur scientist with encyclopedic interests.

I like the idea of ​​collecting 100 sunsets.

As an adult, Tulse Luper he studied archaeology.

It's important to know that he is seen especially as a collector.

- Or a thousand waves. - He liked making lists.

He collected, compared and classified.

- One hundred facial expressions. - Characters, people...

- What kind of eyes do you have, Lupie? - Damn it, Marty. Normal.

I have to be precise.

Every red color you can imagine.

I have to remember that.

Biographies 43 and 44. Menenome and Olivine Fallbutus.

It is said that Cathine's daughters Fallbutus, Menenome and Olivine,

the summer months passed of their EVI

in the company of a red folding chair.

In front of this chair...

Cisgatten Fallbazz had given a Menenome and Olivine a book of images.

This is a story on my older daughters.

When we went to the seaside on the east coast of England.

- Did you name your daughter Menenome? - No, those are fictitious names.

Everyone in this book they have very strange names.

The girls put the chair in the sea to use it as a platform

to throw stones into the waves, further and further away.

C stands for “children”.

A man had 4 children

and he died proud of being able to pass his genetic makeup 4 times.

If all 4 of his children they had also had 4 children,

in four generations, that is, in 100 years,

he may have offspring a quarter of a million.

- You don't see your other two daughters anymore. - It is true.

- Why? - There was a break in family traditions

and I thought it best to keep the peace.

- Like a break in traditions? - I separated and remarried.

- How do you feel about it, if you think about it? - It's sad when a relationship breaks down.

That's why it's so painful now. You never see your other children.

It's been a long time, and I don't feel like it anymore emotionally involved in that situation.

- Don't you want to see your children again? - I'd be curious. In general.

Yesterday I looked with mum Jessica on the internet.

In 2011

a child was born. -I think she's had one before.

- That's Hannah. - I thought she had it too.

Then there is another seven year old. Don't want to see your grandchildren?

I'd be curious.

But there is no emotional involvement on which to meet.

Don't know what they are called? Aren't you sad about this?

- Why do I have to stay quiet? - This is for behind the scenes.

You wouldn't want them to come at your funeral?

These are difficult questions, aren't they? Have you finished, Saskia?

It's painful to think that you left your children and you never spoke to them again.

Is there a chance this could happen to me too? - Don't dramatize...

What Zoë asks of you as a daughter, Now that she's 15...

-She's afraid it will happen again. - As a father, you just have to reassure her.

Of course that won't happen to her. - I already said, it won't happen again.

- Father of the year. - Thank you. Now will you give me a medal?

You need a hand.

D stands for “death”, death.

The next great adventure for an aging man it is death.

If I could choose how to die, would you choose death in your sleep?

I think so.

The best way is not to know.

Lenin is dead.

Even Karl Marx. Both died in their beds.

Or instantly. He is very violent, but if they shoot you in the head...

One moment you're alive, the next you're dead.

And Abraham Lincoln is dead. They shot him.

I think burning to death would be horrible. Or buried alive.

My great fear is of drowning.

I can't swim, so sometimes, not dramatically,

I feel that one day I could drown.

I'm going for a swim.

- I hope he drowns. - Thank you.

Not being able to breathe, to take a breath of fresh air...

- You're afraid of water. - I'm afraid of drowning.

GAMES IN THE WATER (1988)

I, like many others...

I am not afraid or terrified of death.

Or of perpetual oblivion.

Eisenstein is also dead.

I don't know if the directors they will be remembered.

Do you want people to remember you?

I think some things I've done have enough value to survive beyond.

- Why? You're no longer here, so... - I think we exist with a purpose,

I don't think we're just here to have fun. - Are we here with a purpose?

You have to create that yourself. But I really think so

that civilization has evolved based on what is left.

So does humanity have a purpose?

I think we have to create it.

From a Darwinian point of view... - And what is your purpose?

I believe in civilization with a capital C.

It's often very unfair,

but the fact that we sit in front of a sophisticated camera,

in 2017 in one of the capitals most sophisticated in Europe,

it is not the result of laziness. - But what is your purpose?

My purpose is, and I steal this idea, but it's a good idea...

That we need to add our own modest grains of sand

to the great shore of civilization.

So you would like it be remembered in 50 years?

I would like to think that some things I have dreamed and then transformed into works of art

may have value in themselves and for other people.

You hope that after 50 years your job can still inspire people?

I know.

Would you like to do it?

It's already happening now.

They tell me this constantly. Why wouldn't I want that?

- Would that make you satisfied? - Yes, certainly.

I wish you would draw my husband's estate.

How come, ma'am?

D stands for “drawing”.

A man had 5 items that he loved very much.

A black bicycle to get around.

A black hat to protect his head and his imagination.

A black coat to protect his body.

Black underwear to remind him of his sexuality.

And as a fifth, a black pen, filled with black ink...

which he used to draw constantly the other four...

and to make yourself perpetually happy.

This pen was given to me by my mother. It's not a Mont Blanc, but almost.

If you want to make a nice drawing, you must always remember 4 things.

- Do you know what they are? - Color, line...

- Prospect? - No, mass. And consistency.

Mass. Which indicates the large areas of substance...

which has to do above all with the composition of the painting.

Why, Mr. Neville, There are no people in the garden?

THE MYSTERIES OF THE GARDEN COMPTON HOUSE (1982)

It is your intention stay there, Mr. Talman?

I can admire the view perfectly from here, thank you.

I hold the pen like this, so also draw with the plastic part.

Will you wear the same clothes tomorrow?

Excellent for drawing.

I haven't decided yet.

It depends on the easement. Is it important?

Maybe.

Curriculum for execution of the drawings at Compton Anstey.

For drawing number 1, from 7 to 9 in the morning...

Do you want to try playing with the pen?

- Do you want to change? - OK.

Here is a blank sheet of paper. Play with the pen, to enjoy the line.

Free, raw. Use it for real. Enjoy the ink.

Fill it with lots of ink. Don't worry about splashes.

Funny, huh?

Look how full of expressiveness he is.

So, yes. The eyeball comes out on its own.

She draws teeth, quickly...

You can give more taps. - What do you mean?

As...

Color a couple of teeth black.

Make him big ears, lots of ink. And give him a bushy hair.

Make them wild, as if he had had a shock.

Make the zigzag lines. So, yes. Continues.

You are aware of your vanity,

do you consider your nails? - Yes, and you?

Am I aware of it?

I like that you have...

long, red nails and exhibitionists.

- Really? - I don't have red nails. You do.

- What do you think of what you did? - I don't like.

You don't like it because it's too rough and wild for you.

- Which is the most expressive? - Which one do you like best?

I would like to see the more developed one. But if you hold it up...

He has something, doesn't he? A wild look.

If you enjoy doing it as much as I do, you will have dirty fingers like mine.

And if you have dirty fingers, it means it's excellent.

E stands for elegance.

A man concentrated his sense of elegance...

in a single black dress with the white stripes that he always wore.

I'm on the search again of a tailor-made dress...

but it must be of the same material. White lines on black.

Does he want to try this?

Some said he looked like a prisoner, or a gangster from Chicago.

You don't think he's boring that you always wear the same things?

I like identity. I don't need it to think about what to wear.

They are worn alone. See that? It's beautiful.

I have to remember that. Other points. Systems.

Here you can see the systems that concern the shape, material, buttons and colour.

Every trade, every deal, every occupation...

use systems to organize things.

I like the idea of ​​variations on a single theme.

I would immediately do this: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8 times 1, 2, 3, 4, 5...

In as many ways as possible swing a rope?

A little tight. Throw a stone.

11-8 doesn't mean much, 11-8, 88 means nothing.

I would look for an important number. A decimal. 10, 20, 30, 100.

Or something symbolic, like 92.

How many ways can the world end?

We have to find what more it looks like that.

- That would be my research. - Don't want a lighter color?

This is the spring-summer collection. It's much livelier.

She has the usual character that she has always has. It's classic,

but it will give your wardrobe character. - This is much nicer than that.

It's livelier. Why don't you choose a lighter color?

Many complex ideas reside there. We live in Holland.

Sumptuary laws existed. Bright colors were prohibited.

- Calvinists could not boast. - I think you should change it.

A bigger hat, maybe a feather.

Maybe black, which compensates up to a certain point.

- Or that? - It's beautiful. It's clearer.

Are you listening to me, Rembrandt?

Make the negative seem positive. I think I hear you loud and clear.

OK, very good. You could be the man made for us.

To get around it, they wore dark clothing but with expensive fabrics.

A red scarf and a black dress.

They boasted of their status and wealth through the quality of the materials.

The gesture of a Roman officer. Not Greek.

Like this.

In Rembrandt's time, people they wore the ruff.

This was demonstrated by the amount of folds what they could afford.

He came mainly from Flanders.

I want to draw everyone first.

I won't make a row of pompous faces.

I have other things to do first and I want nine months.

It takes 9 months to make a baby, just as many to paint an army.

Dad, are you afraid of losing your sight?

Certain.

F is for movie.

I am a freedom fighter of cinematic expression.

Horizontals are not horizontal.

There are gaps in between. But the left eye is fine.

If I use both eyes together,

I think my eyesight is enough good enough not to be a danger.

They asked a man how that was possible he had begun his career as a painter

and then he became a director.

To which he replied that he was disappointed that the paintings had no soundtracks.

Paintings are normally silent. But we can give this image

a sound.

I've always despised it the characteristic of cinema

to be a form of illustrated text.

Fire!

- Everything is in focus. - Not really, no.

Because you always tell me that the fire it is very important.

I think that statement must be contextualized.

I think it's relationship related between painting and cinema.

If I think about “The cook, the thief, his wife and the lover”, everything has the same fire.

- Why? - The answer is simple.

The paintings are never out of focus.

And I want my cinema to be the reflection of 8000 years of Western art.

THE COOK, THE THIEF, HIS WIFE AND THE LOVER (1989)

So I don't like the cliché to put material out of focus.

Because that's not the way in which we see the world.

And I'm very supportive at the so-called depth of field.

Don't you think of a photo with an element in focus and the rest out of focus is more interesting?

It could, but that's a subjective question. And I'm not interested in that aspect.

- Dad? - The line above is H, N...

O, K, S. The second line C...

Why do you always film everything flat? Why don't you shoot from an angle?

It is not true. I often do filming on horizontal lines.

But I want the images to be parallel to the subject of the image.

And this is also linked to the fact that my main interest is painting.

Paintings are often made of 4 rectangles. And I want my audience

understand that phenomenon. Framing is very important to me.

I spend a lot of time with the cameraman to look inside the lens.

Most of the time we spend it looking into the lens...

and make sure the framing be perfect as I want it.

PILLOW TALES (1996)

Cinema is too sophisticated a medium to be left to the storytellers.

I intensely despise the role of the playwright.

Who spends his time telling you what you have wrong. How could you do better.

This is unfaithful to life. It doesn't really happen like that.

As they do, they were there at the foot of the cross?

When they let the horse in of Troy? When did Eve eat the apple?

When did Lot fuck his daughter?

When David saw Bathsheba take a bath?

Or when Putiphar's wife did he fuck Giuseppe or not?

- It didn't happen. - When did Samson cut his hair?

The excitement of painting overcomes that of making films, for me.

I wish I could do both together simultaneously.

Modigliani, Picasso. Piet Mondrian, Gauguin.

Fontana, Botero, Piet Mondrian. Andy Warhol, Dalí...

G is for Greenaway and the Greenaway.

Escher, Holbein, Hieronymus Bosch, Botero...

- You were wrong five times. - Did I make a mistake five times?

Five times? No.

Caravaggio was not Caravaggio, but Artemisia Gentileschi.

Which?

Thanks for the five mistakes. Which?

Continues. And then you said there was Turner, but it wasn't Turner.

It's Caspar David Friedrich, sorry.

- Isn't that Caravaggio? - No.

- Yes, it's Caravaggio. - Kind.

- You're wrong, Peter, it's Caravaggio. -He was someone else before.

- Which one, Peter? - I don't remember.

Idiot.

Shut up!

TULSE LUPER'S SUITCASES EPISODE 1 (2003)

I was born at home in the spring of 1942,

with little hope of survival.

Ready, set... Beyond the barrier!

If you want to read the story of Tulse Luper as fiction...

you could consider it an episode which tells of a man and his prisons.

We're almost there, Eindhoven!

Eindhoven! Potsdam!

And the Brandenburg Gate! And the Battenberg cake!

- Is this it? - It's this one. Number 38.

At first she had red bricks, like the house next door.

But it was covered with plaster.

-Has she always been so shabby? - No, my grandmother cared a lot

of the house, so she had a look more prosperous than now.

We kept that window open. My grandmother had a gramophone...

who constantly played two records. "In the valley of the Moon"

and Eartha Kitt singing "Under the bridges of Paris with you".

- Are they Paul Whiteman and Jack Hilton? - I don't remember.

Sing it one more time.

We kissed and said goodbye...

we kissed and said goodbye she cried and so did I

Now dear, you wonder why I'm alone but we will meet again among the roses

in the valley of the moon. - You found the text.

Mrs Millington lived next door. He had many cats.

In the film “Games in the water” there is a character called Smut.

Which is a fake self-portrait.

He plays with fireworks.

He collects insects. He is fascinated by death.

He collects corpses. He is fascinated from birds and ornithology.

He looks into the binoculars.

This is the brick wall at the end of the driveway.

In the summer I played cricket here.

There were logs here on the wall. And we launched towards there.

The ball inevitably ended in the gardens, there was a lot of noise.

And the housewives screamed and complained some children who made too much noise.

But everything has changed.

Blackberries could be picked here.

My father did not return from the war until the autumn of 1945

when I was almost 4 years old.

There was a break in the relationship between my mother and father.

I never developed a good relationship with my father.

Forget the damned war, son. It's over.

I want to forget her, everyone wants to forget it.

Misery. Lack. Sacrifice.

There were never demonstrations physical affection.

Nor verbal demonstrations of affection.

We didn't touch each other, nor was there any mention of affection.

We didn't touch each other, nor was there any mention of affection.

- We didn't touch each other... - Touch is love.

Touch is love. Now close your eyes.

Close your eyes.

Close your eyes.

Close your eyes.

It scares me.

We are halfway through the alphabet and L stands for “love”.

You think you are 16 years old too young to feel love?

Touch is hate.

No.

Traditionally, love always appears

in our lives, in literature, on TV, at the cinema and in books.

And there are all these signs. From Romeo and Juliet up to “Sex and the City”.

And since you just broke up with your boyfriend...

it's pretty obvious to everyone. That you are very sorry.

They say you fall in love on average 2 and a half times in a lifetime.

It's a little difficult to fall in love half a time, but that's an average.

I understand that, and as a big supporter of Darwinian evolutionary theory...

- But you're 16, and that's rather unusual... - Dad, can you stop talking?

As if I were a commentator.

We put it right in the middle to the white cloth.

Let's put the egg boxes here.

Try along that edge.

Let's put something against the moths...

Let's leave it in the dark for twelve hours, and let's see what happens...

tomorrow morning.

“At one year old, I had just started. At two years old, I was almost new."

TREAT ME LIKE A PAGE IN A BOOK

“At three years old, I was barely me. At four years old, I wasn't much else.

At five years old, I was barely alive. I'm six years old now...

and I think I'll be six forever."

- I think it's over. - It's not over.

"Now I have six, I'm more awake than ever

and I think I'll be six forever."

Another time. Ready, set, go...

“At one year old, I had just started. At two years old, I was almost new.

At three years old, I was barely me. At four years old, I wasn't much else.

At five years old, I was barely alive.

Now I'm six, I'm smarter than ever, and I'll be six years old forever."

Well, good.

P is for poetry. So...

"All day the battle raged among the mountains on the north sea,

until at King Arthur's table, one after the other

they fell in Lyon around the lord King Arthur."

"For his wound was deep the bold Mr. Belvedere lifted him up

and dragged him to a chapel close to the field.

A dilapidated presbytery for a battered cross,

that was it on a dark promontory of arid land.

On one side lay the ocean,

and on the other a great water, and the moon was full."

"A man read deeply in the night. They had to dig it up.

But they didn't make it in time.

He was dead, suffocated by words.

Not at all a bad way to die."

Dad, why were they all naked?

Not just the human body it's absolutely universal...

and seven billion people they share the same characteristics.

I am fascinated by the human body. He is fragile, very vulnerable.

Obviously it represents every aspect of life.

It's beautiful to contemplate and certainly pleasant to perceive.

And although I am not particularly interested in realism...

I have to find a form to give so that you can use all of it.

What did he tell you?

The French Revolution was easier to digest of Napoleon.

- Why do you like looking in the car? - It's a direct comparison with your audience.

- We talked about K. “Kingdom”, kingdom. - No, I'm talking about...

..."vulgorde"...

- The order. - The order.

- Exact. - So: A, B, C, D, E, F, G...

My father was very interested to the birds.

And if he was interested in birds I was interested in what they ate.

Many birds eat insects.

We have lost the largest moth.

- Is that one considered the largest? - Yes, enough.

Yes, look for those. The sphinx of the vine.

I couldn't write Wales.

I wrote "Gellas".

When I was 10 years old. It's a long time ago.

It hasn't been that long, you are now 16 years old.

I was a little girl.

- I went around with the net. - You disappeared running into the tall grass.

She thrilled you to chase her.

- You farted. - It wasn't me.

- Don't ruin it. - Maybe it's one of those cockroaches

who don't want to get caught. - And do those stink?

Can I lift it? I'm afraid he'll come back to life.

It seems unlikely to me. She spent six years in that box.

- Making collections is like an art. - She's beautiful.

- She's hairy, you see. - She's beautiful. And still very lucid.

You liked to insert the needle in the right place

so as not to ruin the insect.

Look, they pinned everyone the beetles not in the middle...

but on the sides. Is the heart there? Why do they do it?

With a beetle you always have to place them on the right side of the heart.

Really? Where is it located the heart of the beetle?

The man at the shop told us.

Do butterflies bleed?

I wouldn't call it blood, but it is a substance with the same function.

There is never blood on my hands.

A long time ago I had an exhibition.

One of the objects was a knife.

The victims of these terrifying nightmares, buried prematurely,

they asked the doctor to be stabbed to the heart, to make sure they were dead.

A terrifying panic. - Have you always had these nightmares?

Are you afraid it will happen when you die?

There has always been a curiosity...

But when I'm awake I don't really think what will happen.

You want to make sure he stabs you to your heart before you die?

Sounds very 19th century, Victorian and melodramatic.

I can do it for you.

No, you have to shake me many times and make sure I'm really gone.

I think we're done with it now.

I like the procedure. First go look for them outdoors.

It's like a hunt or a treasure hunt.

And that moment of wonder where you find the butterfly and pin it down.

- At that time. What's the plan? - Take a bottle of poison.

- Ready? - I need bigger pieces of paper.

No, no more poison.

Darwin as a young man he collected insects.

I always thought that if Darwin could do it, then I could do it too.

It's a great comparison.

I really enjoy the process. It is very delicate and precise.

Do you want to kill more?

Don't you want to kill any more? - First this cockroach.

T stands for time.

T of time. Maybe about this we should talk.

Can you tell me what time is? - It's very difficult to explain.

You can measure it, but it is very difficult to define.

Time is... What is time?

You are 73 years old. You don't think that time goes too fast?

Even I think so. - And you're only 14 years old.

15. I am 15 years old. It's a lot.

The sun is shining on your face and the sun creates time on earth.

Days, hours, minutes, seconds.

I need to do more with my time.

If you died now, would you be satisfied with yourself? - No, I would do my whole life again.

P is for Peter, for painting. P stands for past.

P, Q. Q stands for “questions”. It is very important to ask questions.

Questions are more important than answers. It sounds like a contradiction. O, P, Q, R.

I walk towards Paris.

- Paris? She is far away. - Yes.

Paris? It's almost in America. America is on that side.

Life is wonderful.

But as human beings we always ask ourselves questions.

Why are we here? What do we do here?

A man never stops to ask questions.

And he rarely waits for answers.

You don't wait for the answer, you start asking another question.

Yes, because it bores me the slowness of people.

Dad...

- But I'm also very impatient. - But it's rude.

Sure, but it's also a provocation, most people are lazy.

He doesn't want to talk of existential questions.

- You provoke. - Yes, I want to stimulate people to think.

- Requests. - I drown in your words.

I'm trying to get an answer to mine questions, and I never get it.

You never get a real answer.

You are like a fish that slips away.

- Ask one question and immediately after another. - Sometimes... it's not completely true.

Who is this man slippery like a fish?

If a person is prepared to answer, then you have a conversation.

They must have exactly your own pace.

- Keep up, keep up. - You don't have a chance to answer...

- You answer quickly. - It's your fault.

You see how important I was for your education?

- Can I start? - Dad, remember...

You're talking to me. It's not a lesson. Talk to me.

You ask me difficult questions and I give you strong answers.

- Pour some. There is water here. - Don't you change color?

- Give us an “action”. - Action!

There's a saying that goes...

Don't let the truth be known obstacles to a good story.

- He would prefer a good story... - That's what you mean

that most of your stories Aren't they based on truth?

Which stories are based on truth?

I'm interested in history.

I'm a big history reader.

And not just because he should tell us of our past. And I say "should",

because many historians are liars.

There is no story. Most some historians are liars.

They only describe that that they want to describe.

- But they do it according to their perspective. - Yes, but that makes it very subjective.

There is no such thing as history. There are only historians.

Most historians they are liars.

There is no so-called history.

- There are only historians. - I've already said that phrase 10 times.

Now I'll tell you again, because I want to speak using metaphors.

I repeat: Most historians are of liars. It is a branch of literature.

- Then why do you read so much? - It's very funny.

There is nothing more fun of reading history. There's so much of it.

You don't need an assistant to paint, like Rembrandt and Vermeer?

They had hundreds of them. Don't get paint on me!

You don't know how to use your phone yet.

I continually suck them all up the information I can find.

I recycle them and use them to produce a work of art.

It's like material life didn't connect to you.

As if I lived in a separate space.

Do you recognize me in this description?

Come on, Peter. You know what I'm talking about.

Come and see these paintings.

They are paintings of weddings.

Look at this woman's face. She is shy, kind and also very happy.

But also quite sexy. She is dressed in her best.

Those ruffs separated her clean head with a dirty body. At least, if you were a Calvinist.

You used a special painter of landscapes to paint this.

Which is perhaps a quote from a painter Flemish you definitely know

Peter Paul Rubens. It is a copy of a painting by Rubens.

If we go this way... This blue painting It is by Johannes Vermeer.

He painted very slowly. He will have done this in six months.

Light can change very quickly, he certainly painted it in the summer.

He probably painted alone three hours a day.

V stands for victory. W stands for “wind”.

And “water”, water.

W, X. X is always difficult.

X stands for “excitement”. And for “exit”, the exit.

If you die, and I have to clean up all this, it will be a great job.

- You don't have to hurry. - Do you mind if I throw something away?

It's up to you, I won't be here to criticize you.

- Do you have any favorites you want me to keep? - Yes, regarding the paintings...

There are approximately 40 paintings which I am very proud of.

Are they there?

No. Most it is now on display in Spain.

Look there, beyond the window, it's as if there were a Mondrian.

Everything is parallel to the plan, and is governed by the frame.

I don't know if Mondrian has ever seen it, but I know he was aware of it.

If you come this way, there's a reason why I became interested in landscapes.

How's it going with the painting?

It's almost finished.

- Are you satisfied? - Yes.

Then I can go.

- Saskia... - I want to be buried on the west side.

Geertje must dress me in wool. It's cold in that church

Every year, on March 9th,

the sun crosses the farthest window...

The sun crosses the farthest window...

And he touches her grave.

Saskia?

This drawing he says you're still breathing.

This design will say forever that you are sleeping.

I remember what you said that you will kill yourself when you are 80.

X stands for "exit".

You are now 75 years old.

So in 5 years you'll get it done one injection and you'll be fine like that?

Here you go, Grandpa, take a piece of cake, and here is the needle.

- And you're okay with that? - It sounds shocking, like a movie.

Don't forget that I'm a director.

You're too selfish. Do you want to drink wine, eat, paint and go to see Rome.

At certain times of the year, this church was flooded.

- You won't kill yourself when you're 80. - And it is said that Saskia lies in the water.

- My big, hysterical friend. - You call me big?

The circle closes.

“At one year old, I had just started.

At two years old, I was almost new.

At three, I was barely me.

At four years old, I wasn't much else.

At five years old, I was barely alive.

Now I'm six years old, I'm smarter than ever

and I'll be six years old forever."

And when Peter turns 80, I will make sure

Let him stick around forever.
