In this segment, we're on the set with Pasolini as he shouts directions to Totò through his megaphone, and at the same time discusses the shoot with his crew. Naturally, authenticity often means people speak over each other, so it's hard to understand what is said.

Not only are Armando's photographs reminiscent of the universe and nature — they also recall other works of art from history.
