Sono tornato (2018) - full transcript

Mussolini reappears in Rome 72 years after his death, finding a Country still full of problems like racism and hate for politicians. Misguised for an actor, he sides with a young filmmaker and starts traveling along Italy to reconquer it.

For now I do the nude model

and I would like to do the nude model.

When I get older and can not be naked
because my ass fell off

I will do the mother, the wife is kept.

I work for myself, I do mine,
I do not care about politicians.

Guys, what's politics?

(SIREN)

(SIREN)

- (Chen) Boh, it looks like a bum.

(Child) Did they tie him?

It went well
that did not set him on fire.

Where is my Claretta?

- Who?
- Claretta Petacci.

- Petatch?

Where is the empire?)

on the Gran Sasso.)

What the fuck do you want?
Look for another place! Go!

(Mussolini) (Who thought of the Bengalis?)

(Mussolini) Madam!

(Mussolini) (An Italic female.)

(Mussolini) Madam.

Madam, excuse me,

(Woman) Ah!

(Giorgio) What's up, all right?

That...

Oh! Gianni, but that ... Gianni!

No, and "Sunset in Miami", it makes me happy.

I know.

- Ah, you know?
- (Andrea) No!

(APPLAUSE)

(Capogrossi) A TV network is like a ship,
can face flat calm,

storms, bad weather, the important
is that there is a good captain in command.

Daniele as vice director
he did an excellent job.

Ladies and gentlemen, I present to you
the new editorial director.

Katia Bellini.

(APPLAUSE)

- Thanks, I'm excited.
- Do not shit.

(LAUGHING)

I will not do it, I can not wait
to work with each of you.

(MOBILE PHONE)

the collection and loyal to a single goal,
destroy the competition and make share.

Friends of Canal PiĆ¹, cagatevi under!

(Leonardi) Excuse me.

Doctor Capogrossi, but it's madness!
Katia Bellini is not able.

Leonardi,
but you remain deputy director for ...

(together) Share! Share! Share!

Share!

- Leonardi, can I talk to you?
- It's not the time.

- (Andrea) A moment, and important.
- I do not care.

- What do you know you do not care?
- Probability calculation.

99.9% of things
that you propose me I do not care.

- C'mon, please.
- All right, you're fired.

- But I'm not even hired.
- Suspended indefinitely and better?

But what have I done? You can not drive me away
without a just cause.

You're on my cock,
more just cause of it.

Believe me, it's an incredible documentary,

it's a necessary film,
we win in Berlin, it's very important.

Rome, Esquilino district.

Do not talk to me about integration,
please.

Few non-EU children.
Alcoholic parents.

- Mothers absent.
- Very good, yes.

A theme at the center of the story.

What does it mean today to be Italian?

No!

(BELL)

(MAKES VERSES)

The self-propelled 445 howitzer did not work.

(MAKES VERSES)

The cruiser Bolzano has never arrived.

Do not give up,
we will break the kidneys to Greece!

(SHOUT)

- I see you feel better.
- Did you recover?

Yup.

Who are you?

Do not worry, you've had an illness,
we helped it.

- We are in 2017.
- What did he think, 1945?

- I have to go.
- (together) No.

- Stay seated.
- Are you shooting a film around here?

- A movie?
-Yup.

(Gianni) In the sense:
it always goes dressed like this?

- No, I also wear black.
- Ah well, of course, me too, dozens.

(Gianni) Are you stupid?
Do we call someone, a family member?

- A doctor.
- Call my daughter Edda.

- Can you give me the number?
- 2578.

- Yup.
- Tessera del Fascio, women's list.

You do it very well,
you're just like him.

- What is it?
- The Dux.

I am the Duce.

- Water and sugar.
- Rest assured.

Yup.

(Mussolini) (And if it were a plan
of the Wehrmacht?)

(Create a parallel world
to save me from the hands of the partisans.)

(If they were secret agents in the shoes
of two simple-minded Roman reporters?)

(It can not be, the Germans
they do not have all this fantasy.)

- Pass the newspapers.
- Which?

Everyone, I want to know why I'm here,
I have to acquire information.

It can be a few days,
as long as it does not empty the newsstand.

- For whom did you take me?
- Benito Mussolini.

(Mussolini) (Apparently it's all true,
the war has not been won.)

(Man) (Anglo-American planes unload
on Rome more than a thousand tons of bombs)

(causing more than 1500 victims.)

(Mussolini) (They humiliated me,
shot and hanged.)

(Hitler was right to say
that you did not deserve a man like me.)

(I died to absolve
the entire Italian ruling class.)

(Indeed, the entire Italian people,)

(which otherwise would have been called
to assume their responsibilities)

(for the long and warm support
granted to my government.)

Cornettino and cappuccino.

(Mussolini) (Many actors
they tried in vain to imitate me.)

(man) Silvio!

(together) Who does not jump clandestine is!

... compared to the strength, the importance ...

See going to fuck!

(Mussolini) (Europe has been divided up
like an ox between two butchers,)

(the ultracapitalist one
and the Stalinist one)

(which were divided cynically
his limbs at a table.)

(The war is never over.)

(In my absence Italians have
changed 63 governments in 70 years.)

(Democracy
it's a rotting corpse.)

(Who are the good guys?)

(Who are the bad guys?)

(Where is the homeland?)

I understood everything.

- I have risen.
- Yes, here's another one.

(Giorgio) Captain all of us.

(Mussolini) Destiny
he brought me back here.

- Who else could have done it?
- Line A of the subway.

It is the providence that is giving me
the courage to continue my mission.

Providence is giving to me
a second chance.

- Bravo, yes.
- There is no second chance.

It is possible to do twice
the same error.

After this pearl of wisdom I greet you.
Oh, Duce.

- Hello, crumb.
- Hello, pearl.

- (Gianni) Tomorrow remember the paprika.
- Yes, my mother with this paprika!

(Mussolini) (I am a prisoner
of two pederasts.)

(Other than the Wehrmacht plan.)

How much he likes paprika,
it drives him crazy.

(Mussolini) (I must remain calm,
do not be intimidated.)

(Bring them out.)

I had confined them to the Tremiti,
already inverted.

"Frocio", today we say "frocio".

So listen to me, Mr. Frocio.

I do not intend to stay in this place
a minute more,

kindly show me
the road to my house.

- Yes, where do you live?
- Villa Torlonia.

- Ah, you must take a bus.
- Where is it?

Here, in Piazza Matteotti.

(MAKES A VERSE)

I rather go on foot.

This work can no longer be done.

(Andrea, PC) Tisha, listen to me,
your people are very hungry.

You're hungry,
make me feel hungry for your people, ok?

- But I've already eaten.
- Go play, Tisha.

It does not work, there is no poetry.

- Ready, Uncle.
- (Carla) Dada, sleep, it's late.

Zitta, mom,
we are working to win Berlin.

It is already so much if we win Locarno.

- But who is that strange guy?
- That's me going.

No, back there,
that bald man, seems Bisio.

No, I said my name, it's not good.

The bio cam.

(Andrea) And Benito Mussolini.

(Andrea, PC) One, two, three, action.

It was Prince Giovanni Torlonia Junior
to rent the villa at the Duce,

for a symbolic amount,
think of a lira a year.

(Guide) Here is the bedroom
where Benito slept ...

(PHOTOGRAPHS)

(Andrea) Excuse me,
Did you see a Mussolini dress?

- How did you say that you call?
- Canaletti, Andrea Canaletti, and her?

Mussolini, Benito Mussolini.

But it never comes out of the character?
It is brilliant.

- Do you already have a program?
- Of course yes.

- On which channel?
- On all channels.

Especially on that of Suez.
(ANDREA RIDE)

A nation of 45 million souls
it's not really true

if you do not have free access to the ocean.

But she has to do "Zelig",
a comic monologue,

it could start ...

What do you know about Egypt, Canaletti?

- Of Egypt?
- (Mussolini) Yes.

The capital is Cairo,
there are the pyramids,

Sharm el-Sheikh, the camels.

Summary information,
a schoolboy would respond better.

(Mussolini) you only have
220,000 Men.

Less than 30 days
to conquer the whole country.

Where will you attack from? How you will handle
the situation with the British?

I forgot,
you do not care about the English, right?

To you who?

Canaletti, the password is only one,
categorical and demanding for everyone.

It already transposes and lights the hearts
from the Alps to the Indian Ocean.

To win.

And we will win.

(Mussolini) My goal
it is to travel to Italy

and to regain it.
