Lifedance (Charles Bukowski)

The area dividing the brain and the soul
is affected in many ways by
experience —
some lose all mind and become soul:
insane.
some lose all soul and become mind:
intellectual.
some lose both and become:
accepted.

"I was drawn to all the wrong things: I liked to drink, I was lazy, I didn’t have a god, politics, ideas, ideals. I was settled into nothingness; a kind of non-being, and I accepted it. I didn’t make for an interesting person. I didn’t want to be interesting, it was too hard. What I really wanted was only a soft, hazy space to live in, and to be left alone." Charles Bukowski

4 четыре - Chetyre (Ilya Khrjanovsky, 2005)

Марина: Дорасскажи конец. Про этих… четвёрок. Что вы с ними делали?
Володя: Я пошутил.
Марина: Придумал?
Володя: Да.
Марина: Всё?
Володя: Всё, от начала до конца. Я настройщик роялей.
Марина: Бля! (Смеётся) Ты слышал?
Бармен: Чего?
Марина: Ну что он здесь тёр?
Бармен: Про Сибирь что-то? Он охотник?
Марина: Всё ясно с тобой. Спи дальше.

Humor russo moderno em que se inicia quando três desconhecidos casualmente se encontram em um bar e expõem as máscaras sociais que lhe convêm. Sem conveniências de entrelaçamentos da narrativa, após a cena do bar, o filme se autorregenera. Compulsão por limpeza, farra senil e bonecos de pão mastigado. Massaroca infecunda.
