Hitler, Mussolini, Stalin, Franco, Mao. Cinque brevi ritratti, cinque confessioni nelle quali lo statista racconta se stesso: abitudini alimentari, gusti cinematografici, piccole manie di persecuzione e di grandezza. Nessun accenno a guerre, stragi, lager. Hitler odia il fumo e coloro che fumano, Mussolini dorme sette ore a notte, Stalin beve un bicchiere di vino a pasto, Franco sa “di non essere interessante come i suoi colleghi”, Mao adora i letti affollati di ragazzine… Su questo flusso verbale, lo schermo allinea straviste immagini di repertorio, il bianco e nero rigato, gli assemblaggi casuali dei cinegiornali. E ci si abbandona d’istinto ad una televisiva illusione di realtà. Ma sotto pelle si fa strada il sospetto del falso. Sono le loro vere voci?

Afraid So

Is it starting to rain?
Did the check bounce?
Are we out of coffee?
Is this going to hurt?
Could you lose your job?
Did the glass break?
Was the baggage misrouted?
Will this go on my record?
Are you missing much money?
Was anyone injured?
Is the traffic heavy?
Do I have to remove my clothes?
Will it leave a scar?
Must you go?
Will this be in the papers?
Is my time up already?
Are we seeing the understudy?
Will it affect my eyesight?
Did all the books burn?
Are you still smoking?
Is the bone broken?
Will I have to put him to sleep?
Was the car totaled?
Am I responsible for these charges?
Are you contagious?
Will we have to wait long?
Is the runway icy?
Was the gun loaded?
Could this cause side effects?
Do you know who betrayed you?
Is the wound infected?
Are we lost?
Can it get any worse?
