:09:02
I hear when you come home.
And not just that. I know by the smell.
:09:10
At this time in Kristiania,
:09:12
a small core of radical writers,
artists and students
:09:16
are gathering to protest
the existing order.
:09:19
Their spokesman, Hans Jæger,
writer and anarchist,
:09:24
who urges his followers
:09:25
to overthrow bourgeois society
with its moral code
:09:29
and replace it
with a decentralized structure
:09:32
based entirely upon
the human capacity
:09:35
for love and feeling.
:09:41
All evil can be traced to Christianity.
:09:45
Christianity suppresses
man's vital desires.
:09:50
What is a "respectable human being"?
:09:52
One who's not out at night
drinking with people like that.
:09:59
Be quiet, so that I may
speak with Edvard.
:10:04
Have you told your parents
that you don't believe in God?
:10:09
I don't want to say I don't.
:10:12
Why not? Can't you follow
your own free will?
:10:18
When Edvard Munch tells Jæger
:10:20
of his repeated quarrels
with his father,
:10:24
Jæger tells him
to take a pistol, go home
:10:28
and shoot him dead.
:10:30
Are you out drinking?
:10:31
- Drinking? A glass of beer?
- You smell of spirits, too.
:10:38
That dreadful Jæger you mix with,
:10:41
he's the Antichrist incarnate.
:10:49
Jæger's group, referred to
by the Kristiania middle-class as
:10:54
the Boheme and by Georg Brandes
as "that wild gypsy bunch",
