Orpheus (2020) Movie Script

1
Come to me, all of you
who are weary and burdened,
and I will give you
rest. Matthew 11:28.
Love is a sacrifice.
Even the food is sacrificed.
Love is the mist of the soul.
Why don't you make me disappear?
Love...
Love...
Love...
Love...
Love is a sacrifice.
There is love when you are here.
Love...
Why don't you make me disappear?
Love...
Why doesn't it go away?
Love...
Quiet. I better do it.
Thanks.
"Steel".
Do you want some?
Let's split it up.
Look what I found yesterday.
It's from when I was studying.
There are Artem labels.
You see it?
I found it under the table.
"Moscow speaks and presents".
You wrote it?
Yes. It was an agenda that I had.
There's something weird going on there.
They are burning something.
I wanted to show you something.
Do you remember this notebook?
Yesterday I wrote a note here.
Look at her.
It's what we did when
Anya turned 16, remember?
She was thinking...
That was life!
It was.
Yes.
Seems like yesterday
we had fun together.
"In all beginnings."
You wrote it, do you remember?
You had another letter.
You wrote: "love and
success in all beginnings."
This is your handwriting exactly.
Do you want to eat more?
This?
It's okay.
This is horrible.
If you want we can stop.
Why?
I don't know.
Check it out.
ORPHEUS
A FILM BY VADIM KOSTROV
Sponsored by the production
company Mal de mer.
Love is a sacrifice.
Even the food is sacrificed.
Love is a battle against evil.
A moment of weakness.
It's all backwards.
Love is my weakness.
Leave my soul defenseless.
In a stone forest.
Love is the mist of the soul.
Why don't you make me disappear?
Love...
Love...
Love...
Love...
Love smells like you.
Love is a sacrifice.
There is love when you are here.
Love...
why don't you make me disappear?
Love...
We go around the world.
Without worrying about time.
We will rest where we are.
And eat what we have.
A theater stage,
for travelers like us.
Made from freshly cut boards.
Curtains held by nails.
We are traveling artists.
We are always on the move.
A car in an open field.
It is our regular home.
We are great artists.
But friendly and down to earth.
We are musicians and singers.
Acrobats and buffoons.
Ready.
Care.
The mosquitoes are coming.
They are attracted to light.
When will you go?
I don't know.
I have to leave at
the end of August.
Why at the end of August?
I'm not sure.
Maybe at the beginning of September.
I don't know.
I have to...
do it all over again.
Everything.
Because I'm preparing
for the new film Oedipus.
I think it will be a good movie.
You didn't like it, did you?
You do not like me.
No, I took note of a couple
of moments, but overall...
Yes, it is...
They are working is that, right?
Yes, it is a sketch
of the first part.
We are doing it all over again.
Yes, because we are
here, we are seen, we exist.
We need to say that we are alive,
we can do something today, right?
If we don't, we
are not existing.
Don't you think?
Because now everything
depends on if we are real and...
Do you believe in fate?
What do you mean by that?
Destination?
Yes, the human mission,
what we come here to do.
Yes, the mission
exists, just like destiny.
Don't you think it changes every
day, hour, minute, with every action?
With every mistake and decision.
You will always have an address.
I think...
So it doesn't
matter what you do?
It's not that, that's false.
It's a lie.
This is what Oedipus is about.
What was he doing?
He was against fate.
Have you read the book?
Yes.
Good.
I speak of Fate
in Ancient Greece.
There were other gods.
And no matter what
he did or tried to escape.
He continues to have sex with
his mother and kills his father.
But now we are
living in a different age.
And now I understand
that destiny does not exist.
And Oedipus is about a fight
with destiny that doesn't exist.
There are things that do not really exist.
They're like the rails, you know?
People are just used to rolling.
People, especially in small
towns, live like
they're on rails.
They work fast everywhere.
I think you exaggerate.
Yes, it's exaggerated, it is.
I'm just saying that you have to free
yourself, stop deciding and let it flow.
As people say:
"Go with the flow."
Stay on the rails.
They don't really exist.
And each of your thoughts
can truly change your life.
It's just that people don't know
it and can't change because of it.
Just an idea to
buy a train ticket
to somewhere
and travel, that's all.
You can sell or give
away everything and leave.
There is always an option,
even if you have nothing.
It's like in Viktor Tsoi's song:
People who have nothing
to hope for, go the way.
"They are the ones who are
saved, the ones who are saved."
And those who go home.
Sweet dreams."
"Sweet dreams and good night."
And many people choose to sleep.
For my part, I believe that your
ideas and actions shape your future.
In ten minutes, in 20
years, it doesn't matter.
I only mean the determined form.
That is his greatest
predisposition for life.
Yes, I think so too.
I think we're meant
to meet certain people.
As in our case.
Yes.
It was kind of like fate, yeah.
Yes, exactly.
It was something like that.
Because it was supposed...
it was going to happen.
It's true.
There are many things we
don't know, do you understand?
We don't know what will happen tomorrow.
But it turns out...
It was already known that we would sit
here and now when we were 21 years old.
It was necessary to move on.
But we couldn't know.
That is why life is
so interesting to us.
It is interesting to watch
the movie until the end.
Do not you believe it?
Sometimes people make decisions
without thinking and then say:
"I'm not interested anymore".
"I already know what is coming and it tires me."
And at that point, they give up.
I believe in destiny.
I never thought that I would be
able to be a filmmaker after all.
I think.
I think it was a
coincidence of events.
But coincidence does
not form out of thin air.
What does that mean?
You really only have one mission
and everyone has one, for sure.
The mosquitos...
I'll turn it on, I'll turn it on
Everyone must choose whether to
act or not, whether they want to or not.
It depends on ourselves.
Because we are lucky to choose.
That's great.
You don't have to stay on the rails.
We really can choose.
We can go there.
We can go or stay.
It doesn't turn on.
Matches run out.
Matches run out.
Fine.
Wait.
- It is impossible.
- Why?
How can it be?
The fuse came to an end.
- What's inside?
- Nothing.
It's over.
We have to go.
How did that happen?
Was over. That happen.
We no longer have light.
We can bury it under the plinth.
You read this book?
"Bury me under the plinth",
will it be from Pelevin?
I didn't read it, and you?
Yes.
And what did you think?
It is interesting reading,
talks about different things.
It is bad?
I don't believe it.
Why?
It's about what families are.
There are people who grow
in denial and aggression.
- Yes, without being loved.
- Yes.
Take many photos at once.
You finished?
Done, thanks, you're great.
The Scriptonite
design is ready.
I respect you, Vadik.
The heart dissolves in our love.
Give the best of ourselves.
What are our dreams for?
I am like a bird
that in the distance,
he is afraid of heights,
as he flies towards you.
I will leave everything for you.
Our son has your eyes.
Yes, the same eyes in
which he drowned me.
When we both forget everything.
I can be quiet, but I
want to shout it all out.
I breathe you, I
have nothing to hide.
I can't sleep in the
quiet of the night.
I can be quiet, but I
want to shout it all out.
I breathe you, I
have nothing to hide.
I can't sleep in the
quiet of the night.
Thoughts of love fly in my head.
I know it's not a coincidence,
we have a secret in our life.
For a moment we were
together in the same universe.
I don't drown, but I breathe,
I take your love with me.
And fly with you to
the end of the world.
I know when we're together
with hundreds of stars above us.
Its brilliance should
illuminate our path.
I do not drown, but I breathe,
not noticing any superfluous noise.
Fly with you to the
end of the world.
In Arcngel, the court
detained the last member of a
gang of extortionists who
was hiding after the arrest
of their partners.
According to the investigation,
the suspects demanded from
a businessman two hundred
thousand rubles for protection.
If he did not cooperate,
they threatened to kill him.
A month later, they forced
him to sign a check in
which he had to pay
them half a million rubles.
After this, the victim
submitted to the FSB.
The possible delinquents were
detained after the
delivery of the money.
For blackmail, an organized
group can face up to 15 years.
One person was injured
after an unsuccessful
landing of an aircraft
in the Moscow region.
Due to the strong wind the
plane fell on a power line.
As a result, the pilot
suffered a leg injury and
six other passengers
had only minor injuries.
But in a serious plane crash
in Greece there were victims.
Two Russian citizens died.
Why did the helicopter catch
fire and explode in midair?
We'll talk about
them in a moment.
A young girl from a St.
Petersburg school fell
into a coma after a
holiday in a Turkish hotel.
The girl got stuck in a pipe.
In the fight against
scammers all means are good.
What operations can block
your bank card for a month?
Defendant Saransk will stand trial
for trying to murder her daughter.
bitch! bitch!
There is new information about
the baby's rescue operation.
How was the baby saved
from falling from a third story?
This and other topics
after a break, do not leave.
Hello.
What happens?
Nothing.
"Thank you" for coming at midnight.
What are you reading?
Go.
Just give me that.
Not.
I'm reading.
You can continue to have fun.
Sorry.
Tell me what you've done?
I told you I was
meeting with Kristina.
It was a long meeting.
Give me that.
Go to sleep.
tired?
Only a little.
Very sorry.
Have you seen what time it is?
I was a bit late.
A little? four hours!
Turn off the light.
You have to make the bed.
I had fun...
I will tell you later.
I'm going to shower...
while you make the bed
Anya, make the bed yourself.
Why?
Because I'm going to shower.
Two men wearing gloves and
masks entered a jewelry store.
One broke a showcase, the
other collected the jewelry.
After that, they quickly fled.
It only took them twenty
seconds to get their loot.
They only left shoe
prints on the ground.
Everybody to the floor!
And this is the recording
of the arrest of the thieves.
They were found two months later
in the suburbs of Moscow.
In a rented apartment...
You forgive me?
Very sorry...
How do you want to amend your mistake?
I will say that I love you.
And that's it?
Yes.
I did not do anything wrong.
- Really?
- Yes.
Why are you awake?
I was waiting for you.
Next time I'll sleep.
Okay, come on.
They turned off the hot water again.
- Really?
- Yes.
I'll have to shower at home.
I wanted to do some laundry.
You just have to activate
the cold water mode.
Give me your fingers.
Go!
That's it, forgive me.
It's okay.
What are we going to do?
we will sleep
Didn't you sleep well?
Please, she speaks without sarcasm.
You can't make rules for me!
Why are you looking at me like that?
Do you like it?
Please enough.
Did you see how much it rained today?
She was very cold.
You mean it was drizzling?
Yes.
I didn't notice.
I got wet, can't you
see how my hair is?
Turn off the light.
Do you want to change clothes?
Not.
The sleeping cap.
You reek of alcohol.
And you smell like peach.
As always.
Alright, let's go to sleep.
Good.
Good night.
Good night, drunk.
It is not necessary.
The last day we see each other.
Why the last one?
Because if.
Come back again.
Really?
Why are you asking
these dumb questions?
You didn't even tell me.
I told you yesterday.
No, you told me you were
leaving on Wednesday.
I told you about them.
You had not told me.
Only that they're leaving at half past
ten and you weren't going to take me.
What joy!
I told you, but you never listen to me.
Fine.
Go where you want.
You will come, right?
- Not because?
I have other plans.
- Go. Stop bothering.
- I'm busy.
Enough, silence.
Silence?
Are you covering my mouth?
Not.
Good, little one.
You are amazing.
I wanted to play
this for a long time.
Well, I'm in love with the bell
and everything related to its sound.
My friend, Liza Krotkova,
told me about this school.
It is a very good school.
Here they taught
us to ring bells.
And every time I come here...
It's like a flock of
birds heading south.
At last.
And I never want to leave.
They asked me to
tell you to stop playing.
Fine, I'm sorry.
Sorry I couldn't stop.
Thank you.
We will close soon.
Fine, I'm sorry. It's a
miracle he let me ring the bell.
Thank you.
How high we climb
Yes, how tall is it?
What's your name?
Her name is Zoya.
Did you see how much we climbed?
It's amazing.
It's cold.
Okay, let's go back, come on.
I wouldn't say there
wasn't some insight.
I read from the Holy
Fathers that if a person feels
at home in a monastery,
then that is his home.
She first came here when
she was in eighth grade.
And in comparison,
my parents had a
feeling of visitors.
They did not feel comfortable.
And I wish we
were still married.
Not.
Heavens! Just listen to me.
We are not the first
Europeans to come here.
The proof is a tombstone
with an inscription in Spanish.
With a female name.
I don't know who this woman
was or how she got here.
On the stone was
written: "Aurelia 1715."
It's a prank?
She couldn't leave her alone.
Then I decided to bury
them on this beautiful hill...
Hello.
Valya, are you in bed?
Not yet, I'm awake.
I see. I wanted to see how you were.
I'm busy here too.
Busy with what?
With a lot of things.
Hello?
Hello?
When will you come home?
Soon.
I will go soon.
Very good, see you later.
Yes ok. We will talk later.
Yes.
which input?
The second.
Katya is not here, we
have to go upstairs.
Vanya, calm down.
I'm not used to doing that.
In my capital they live in
the sea, they live in sorrow.
Longing lives in my heart.
Why am I in this
state, in this nirvana?
Why am I in this
state, in this nirvana?
This nirvana excites me.
We switch knees.
On knees...
On knees...
This nirvana covers me
and closes my languid eyes.
This nirvana excites me.
We switch knees.
On knees...
To be alone forever.
To be alone forever.
But why?
Why can't I yell at you?
Can't. Miss you.
Your smile goes into the sea.
I'm drowning. I can not anymore.
I can't fly inside
this heart. Can't.
My heart is touching the limit.
But why do I feel sorry?
I feel so sad again,
longing for you.
What has to be, will be.
Chanel has the perfect lipstick.
Does it last a long time?
The lipstick is not
very durable, it has a
creamy texture, and
it does not dry out.
How it looks on the lips it
looks so expensive and classy.
Like the curvature of a body.
Not yours, but in general.
All curves and edges
unshaded, cannot be seen.
She only has one lipstick
that looks perfect on her lips.
Really, Chanel lipstick
will make her look perfect.
Yes, and every girl
needs a Chanel perfume.
Yes, the same happens with the
perfume, the perfume is very important.
Exactly No. 5.
Chanel No. 5, is an
impressive fragrance.
I myself use it on the advice
of my friend Katya Katya.
Does she use it too?
She uses L'Eau and has Coco.
But I prefer #5.
I asked my friend something.
And I wait for his answer.
And when he sees her eyes.
The surprise will be huge.
A tear will run down my cheek.
Tired of humility.
A tear will run down my cheek.
I wave him away with a wave of my hand.
I smile in response
to all problems.
And against all odds
burst with a sincere smile.
Sometimes I find it funny.
Sometimes it is the other way around.
I know that joking
with fate is a sin.
We will stay at the gate.
Tired of humility.
A tear will run down my cheek.
I wave him away with
a wave of my hand.
I don't want to lose
happiness or evil.
I know myself, but I
can't understand myself.
Forgive me if you can, I beg you.
Forgive me, dear friend.
We will meet again. Not rush.
The world between
us in a circle.
I'm drunk.
Our friend says he's drunk
and he wants to go home.
What I can do? I'm very drunk.
So, girls, I'm going to go.
Or I'll start throwing
up if I don't go home.
I'm serious.
Well.
Well I go.
Goodbye Katusha, I'm going home.
I hope you're ashamed.
I'll go home alone and drunk.
Bye.
Let's vomit.
Where? I need to go home.
I don't feel well.
Kristina.
Yes friend.
- Where are you going?
- Vanya, no.
Where are you going?
- To home.
- Why? Vanya.
- Why so early?
- No.
- I'm very drunk.
- Do not go.
I ask you to open your door.
And let me leave in peace.
- Can you hear me? Sh
e-she She spoke properly.
Done, now you can rap.
Come on! Come on!
She stops.
Is it so?
From above.
It doesn't matter.

Making his way
through life hesitantly,
between gray and
yellow, mature people.
Between blues, between greens.
It would be great, forget everything.
Breaking through without
seeing a common goal.
We're flying, we're flying.
This wind is so strong
that we won't notice
and we will fly through the air
We will fly through the air, like
tonight in the light of cigarettes.
Tonight in light of cigarettes.
Just questions, just questions.
Just questions, just questions.
Where is the summer?
Where are you? Where I am?
September, September,
where am I? Where I am?
