00:00Sprockets. Sprockets. Best German television presents Sprockets.
00:05Mit your host, Dieter.
00:08Welcome to Sprockets. I am your host, Dieter.
00:11It has been a very busy week here in Berlin.
00:14Jürgen von Keitel's exhibit Scabs on Canvas opened at the Schüsselkeller.
00:18The Gertrude Braunf troupe previewed their performance in Wax at the Theater of Unhappiness.
00:24And the Berlin Wall was dismantled.
00:27For the masses, the Wall's collapse represents freedom and opportunity.
00:31But for me, it is a chance to meet the most brilliant countercultural filmmaker in the East, Gregor Voss.
00:38Seen here on East German television last year.
00:41Voss, the suppressed visionary, whose films include The Dead Coat, Irritant No. 4, and Here Child, Finish Your Nothing.
00:53He entered the vest three days ago and has agreed to appear on Sprockets and speak with me, his greatest
00:59fan.
00:59Please welcome Gregor Voss.
01:13Welcome to Sprockets, Gregor Voss.
01:16Yeah, it's great to be here, Dieter.
01:20Gregor Voss, your presence intimidates me to the point of humiliation.
01:25Would you care to strike me?
01:26This is fantastic.
01:28I can't believe I'm here.
01:29Hello, Vespeline.
01:31Ich bin ein Vespeliner.
01:36Tell me, in your film, Irritant No. 4, the only two images were a baby's head in a toilet.
01:43Did you mean for me to scream?
01:46Scream, yeah, yeah, yeah.
01:48Look at this.
01:48Look at this, Dieter.
01:50I got great stuff here.
01:53Mountain Dew.
01:54Oh, a Remington Microscreen.
01:59Yeah, they tell me it says as close as a blade.
02:03I see.
02:04Genius.
02:05By seemingly embracing the clichés of the vest, he is underscoring its excruciating banality.
02:11Look at this, Dieter.
02:12It is a pie, but like no pie I have ever seen.
02:17Perfect.
02:17You are a master of exposing tedium.
02:22Let us look at a clip from one of your classic films.
02:48Cervais.
02:52That film looks at me while I'm naked and calls its friends.
02:59Spike.
03:01Touchdown!
03:03Dieter, I figured the trick every time.
03:05The defense moves to the middle.
03:07You should want to sweep to the right.
03:09It always works.
03:10If the defense chooses to...
03:12Your story has become tiresome.
03:15Hey, Gregor.
03:16When are you going to be done?
03:17Hey, just a minute, guys.
03:19Hey, Dieter.
03:20You want to come along with us?
03:21We've entered a lebaron.
03:24Forgive me, Gregor, but you've disturbed me almost to the point of insanity.
03:29There, I am insane now.
03:33Gregor, you were the greatest auteur of emptiness.
03:36My personal gesellschaft.
03:38And now I watch you drink beer from a hat.
03:41It's easy for you to say, Dieter.
03:43You grew up with this stuff.
03:45I would never drink from headgear.
03:48Oh, I don't feel so good.
03:50Idiot.
03:52Oh, I'm sorry.
03:53It's just all that Mountain Dew and then this pie.
03:56You may not touch my monkey.
03:58Nein, nicht scho, meine Abschmunkie.
04:00You may not touch my monkey.
04:01I'm going to be sick.
04:02Now's the time on Sprock, it's when we dance.
04:09That's all the time we have.
04:11Until next time, auf Wiedersehen.
04:13Wiedersehen.
04:13Du lind bist du, Karl.
04:14We're meeting some girls later.
04:17Come on, Dieter.
04:18Dieter.
04:20Dieter.
04:22Dieter.
