...with wildly dyed orange hair, had
a soft spot for starving artists...

:04:07
...as she herself had come
from a family of artists.

:04:11
Kinski had been living nearby
in an attic, without furniture...

:04:16
...just bare beams, and everything
covered knee-high with dead leaves.

:04:20
He posed as a starving artist and
walked around stark-naked.

:04:24
Stark-naked?
:04:25
Yes, when the postman rang...
:04:27
...Kinski rustled through his leaves,
stark-naked, and signed.

:04:32
Where was that?
:04:34
Somewhere nearby.
:04:37
But he wore clothes
when he lived here, I hope?

:04:39
Yes, but from the very first
moment, he terrorized everyone.

:04:43
There were 8 parties living here.
He locked himself into the bathroom...

:04:47
The bath over there...
:04:49
- Wasn't there a door there?
- Yes, it led to the bathroom.

:04:53
- May we?
- Yes, go ahead.

:04:58
This room, to the left, was bigger.
:05:02
Yes, we enlarged the bathroom.
:05:05
That's where we used to live,
my mother and the three boys.

:05:08
The four of us in just
one single room.

:05:11
There were bunks. We were rather
poor, and my mother tried somehow...

:05:17
...to take part in the economic
miracle but got left behind.

:05:21
This bath was smaller because
our room reached up to here.

:05:27
Kinski had locked himself in this
bathroom for 2 days and 2 nights.

:05:34
For forty-eight hours.
:05:37
in his maniacal fury, he smashed
everything to smithereens.

:05:41
The bathtub, the toilet bowl -
everything.

:05:45
You could sift it through a tennis
racket. It was really incredible.

:05:50
I never thought it possible that
someone could rave for 48 hours.

:05:57
They called the police in the end,
but they left him in peace.
