- A man peers from a promontory at the butcher shop on the plain of Waterloo, he is exhausted, has lost everything. From Waterloo he will never rise again. From then on, history is full of Waterloos, personal or collective. The nocturnal city, a place of ghosts and apparitions, is the hallucinated battlefield of an exhausted Napoleon but perhaps not yet entirely broken. In his nocturnal wandering the genesis of a defeat is marked step by step, which from personal becomes universal. The moist eye of our Napoleon, tenderly desperate, meets the tangible signs of the near end of our society. But after all, it is a cyclical story of eternal returns of Waterloo followed by Marengo ... and so on, for eternity. Waterloo investigates the sense of defeat starting from the title itself. The name of this historic battle still arouses strong feelings and immediately creates an imagery of defeat, of terminal battle after which all future is annulled. For some time I have been interested in understanding and investigating the mechanisms that make us evaluate whether an existence is winning or not. Waterloo, for example, was a defeat determined by many factors, including atmospheric conditions, ineptitude of some Grande Armée Generals, causalities that, mixed together, became randomness, a chaos that can not be dealt with. In short, behind every defeat there is a missed victory, and that "manque" is exactly what interests me. Indeed, at this final battle Napoleon is now tired, bloated, exhausted. While the Duke of Wellington during the day of battle will always be on the front, traveling 80 km on horseback, Napoleon will almost never come out of his tent waiting for a destiny already been written. Luciano, the main character of the film, conveys all these feelings. His eyes and hollowed face are already a battlefield. Aware of the end he fights his hallucinated struggle, between non-existent glows and ghostly visions, overwhelmed by a contemporaneity that, like the camera of the film, appears ignorant, noisy, fast and fatuous. But precisely because it is necessary, that battle must be conducted over and over again. A tragic destiny awaits us, despite all the glows and the clamor around us attempt to mislead us. All that's left is for us to throw ourselves, armed with that rare quality called dignity.

- The Outwitting of an Andalusian Brigand by a Pretty Senora. The hills of Southern Spain were infested by a gang of lawless freebooters who terrorized the country and made travel in the mountains a hazardous pastime. They waylaid, robbed and often murdered the unwary tourist who chanced their way. In the opening of this Biograph picture a party of these Andalusian bushrangers, in command of their chieftain, are seen hiding behind a huge rock in waiting for prey. They haven't long to wait, for after having held up and relieved several pedestrians, a stylish landau approaches in which are seated an old gentleman, a duenna, and a pretty young Senora. The inevitable happens; all are relieved of their valuables, and while the gentleman and duenna are sent on their way, the girl is held a prisoner. She realizes her helplessness, and at the same time assumes that her beauty has made an impression on the chief, hence resorts to woman's wiles to captivate the bandit. In this she succeeds, but must use strategy to regain her jewels, which are still in his possession. Her subtle artifice is promising, when they are surprised by the police, who take them in hand, but the sergeant finding them possessed of so much wealth, is content to take that and let them go. From here they go to the mountain inn, where later the sergeant again puts in an appearance, so Senora bribes the waiting maid to allow her to act in that capacity, and as the sergeant does not recognize her, she having been veiled when they met in the road, he is lured to a private room, where he is overpowered, bound and gagged by the bandit, who regains the jewels, and with Senora flees to another hostelry. Here Senora piles her conquest with cajolery and wine until he falls into a drunken sleep. Now is her chance. She secures her jewelry and after leaving a derisive letter for the enamored bandit, departs to rejoin her friends, chuckling in anticipation of the chagrin of the pillager upon his awakening.

- 'Waterloo' is the story of two lonely people, traumatized by violence, finding solace in one another. Montgomery is the recent survivor of an office shooting; Molly a survivor of domestic abuse. They live in an old gloomy walk up in an industrial urban setting, a sort of Candy Land on acid. The colors of the world are dark and saturated evoking a beauty touched by darkness; the discordant sounds merge and melt together, forming one constant cacophonous assault. The film explores the cycles of PTSD and how the possibilities of romance and tenderness are affected by the violent certainties of our urban culture. The title refers to the Battle of Waterloo, meaning 'absolute ruin'.
