:44:02
we needed at least
two Italian actors
:44:05
who would speak English.
:44:10
We left for New York
:44:12
and we went to the Actors Studio.
:44:15
I was lucky to find Italien actors:
:44:21
Luca Barbareschi,
who then became famous,
:44:26
and this girl,
Francesca Ciardi.
:44:29
We also chose two Americans.
:44:33
When we signed the contract,
:44:36
I told them: 'As this is
your first movie'
:44:41
'and that it should be successful
worldwide'
:44:47
'we ask you to sign a contract
in which you accept'
:44:52
'to drop out of circulation
for a whole year'
:44:56
'at least within cinema industry.
You mustn't accept'
:45:00
'contracts for other films
with other directors'
:45:04
'and no commercial either.'
And so on.
:45:08
and they signed.
:45:12
In the end,
:45:13
when the movie was seized,
:45:18
I remember that the judge said:
:45:21
'People say that you really
killed these four people.'
:45:26
I was lucky,
I could have been to jail.
:45:30
I called Luca Barbareschi,
:45:35
and I told him:
'Find the others'
:45:39
'and come back to life
or this will end badly.'
:45:45
Because of the violence
on animals,
:45:47
especially at a time when one
has to be politically correct,
:45:52
which is only, with respect
with naure...
:45:55
So many things have changed
in 25 years.
:45:59
Environment questions were
less polemical than nowadays.
