Just say know: Part III

Part three of this movie includes some home movie footage of Prince Alessandro Ruspoli smoking opium, in the old style, lying on the hip (this is the origin of the term "hip", as in hip scene, and another reference to the many ways in which opium has marked our culture.)

The film-maker's brother, meanwhile, describes his experience of shooting up heroin and cocaine. As the camera finds him , he is part way through the process of withdrawal.
