RUSSIAN REVOLT AGAINST THE WESTERN ANTI-UTOPIAS.
RUSSIAN REVOLT AGAINST THE WESTERN ANTI-UTOPIAS.
Delivery of "the Gold bear" to the Floor to Thomas Andersonu (USA)
For a film "Magnolia", Grand prix and "the Silver bear" CHzhanu
Imou (Peoples Republic of China) for "Road home", and also many other things awards (
Russian "Russian revolt" has not received, unfortunately, anything)
50th has come to the end under the bill the international film festival
"Berlinale". The "plots about"п п я п п п?п п п -50"has sent from Berlin
Film critic Elena PLAHOVA.
Plot the first - festival. More correctly, its new residence in
Area Potsdamerplats, on the former border of East Berlin with
The western. The moment when will finish building of the grandiose
Festival complex (which itself, in turn, will be a part
For entertaining-business megacity), waited for a long time. Waited and
Were rather afraid, as all new.
Now it is clear, that, having made a jump on the east of a city,
The festival has definitively lost the historical name -
West Berlin. After forty years after a construction of a wall and
Ten after its falling entered age of a maturity "Berlinale"
Became an accessory of incorporated Berlin.
But together with symbolical sense during a life of habitues
Festival practical problems have entered: how to be accustomed to the new
Geography, to the schedule of shuttles, to atmosphere strange and
Majestic "a futuristic ghetto". However, not so it is terrible
Fig. By the festival end, similar, a plot of change of scenery was
It is settled and brought to nothing. For certain in couple of years a new platform
Will perceive as quite natural and only from the easy
Nostalgia to recollect how it occurred "in the past
Century ".
Plot of the second - stars. Their quantity, and especially quality,
Exceeded usual standards "Berlinale". Mett Damon with Gvinet
Peltrou, George Kluni, Tilde Suinton and, of course, Leonardo Di
Kaprio, paralysed movement on and without that narrow Marlene
Ditrihplats, it is direct before a festival Palace. After the legendary
Marlene - Leonardo the first Hollywood idol in which flows though
A shred of German blood (we will not consider the Austrian
Schwarzenegger). Here him met as the and with delight
Learnt, that he respects a German cuisine with zeltsem and red
Cabbage.
Dee Kaprio has arrived on a premiere of the film "Beach", in which with
Times of "Titanic" he has played the first new role. It is last
Denni Boyle's job - the director, which after previous
Tapes "Trainspotting" ("On a needle") became cult not only among
Addicts. The new picture too mentions a subject of the narcotic
Manipulations and in the first half draws an image reached not
Without the aid of an earthly paradise grass on one of islands of Thailand. But in
Second half film turns to bloody anti-Utopia, from
Which, the truth, to the hero of Dee Kaprio by miracle is possible to get out.
As to Metta Damon, it has flashed in a role
The murderer-simulator in Anthony Mingely's retrodrama "the Talented Mr.
Ripli ". The plot taken from the novel Patrician Hajsmit, was in due time
It is picturized in France with young Alain Delon. Damon not
Competes to it on beauty, but on actor's professionalism -
Quite. The film as a whole, as well as "Beach", too is devoted a problem
Searches of a true reality. To a problem which has sharply become aggravated with
Expansion of computer games, the Internet and the other virtual
Pleasures.
The main plot of festival: modern cinema as the form
Total consumption. Not casually film "Magnolia" of the Floor of Thomas
The Anderson maintains vampiricheskuju the TV nature, and
"Hotel in one million dollars" Wim Vendersa - galljutsinogennye effects
Rock music. Both that, and another use the images hired
From the advertising industry.
The cinema here only imitates a life - on the same potsdamerplats. With
Huge advertising "L'Orealja" (by the way, the official sponsor
Festival) Whether looked against each other stylised Gon and Milla
Jovovich, and everyone questioned the competitor: "After all I of it am worthy?" In
Lives both actresses-models communicated mainly through the screen:
Jovovich played a competitive film "Hotel in one million dollars", and
Whether Gon judged it as predsedatelnitsa jury.
The film opening festival, is put in Hollywood by German
The director number one Wim Vendersom. It is a mystery about lodgers
Mean doss house where live practically free of charge and soar
Highly over the guilty earth as there is no time - angels in vendersovskom
"The sky over Berlin". However, some of the American angels
Fall on the guilty earth and break, because all the same at them
There are no wings. But at them is duhopodemnye songs of Beatles and group
"U 2", overflowing a film which idea belongs to the leader
Groups - Bono. It is necessary to carry to advantages of a picture also
The transparent, almost illusive image reached with the help
The supersensitive digital film-making technics.
That could oppose to this expansion novotehnologicheskih
Receptions of cinema from Russia or, we will put, from Yugoslavia - the countries, still
Absorbed by archaic ethnic wars? "A heavenly hook"
Serbian veteran Ljubishi Samardzhicha simply and simply
Tells about, how under NATO bombs inhabitants of Belgrad
Try to rescue families and human advantage. As they
Build up the destroyed basketball platform - some kind of
Symbol of moral opposition.
"Russian revolt" Alexander Proshkina - a case other, but in something
And similar. On the one hand, the atypical expensive for our cinema
The costume-battle statement which has been removed in a modern way by the refined
Sergey's chamber Jurizditsky with a considerable quantity of crowd scenes and
Supernumeraries. With another - classical Russian psychodrama "with morals"
Against the big history. Unlike "the Siberian barber", in
This film there is no nostalgia on autocracy (Catherine II
It is shown unvarnished); it is disgusting enough Pugachev in execution
Vladimir Mashkov (according to the director, a pettiness in a skin of the tsar),
And hopes of the future of Russia are connected with young generation Grinevyh,
Which is presented in a film in pair young, absolutely not skilled
The actors who have been written out already from Poland (Tadeushem Damentsky and Carolina
Grushka).
proshkin with Sergey Makovetsky (which in role SHvabrina
Has perfectly well opened "history of Russian arrogance") have successfully spent
Press conference. proshkin said that the superficial
Americanization though has strongly mentioned our society, nevertheless
Public waits from cinema dushevnosti and geniality, which in Russia
Never ran low. As, alas, did not run low on its open spaces and
Passion to mutual destruction. "From end п VIII of a century of anything
Essential to us has not occurred, - the director has explained. - we
Remained the same whom were then. Ekaterina's time - time fast
Open-cast mine and fast money, inspirituality and immorality time
The authorities. The same occurs and now ". Blossoming of Russia authors of a film
See in softening of customs and the educated youth.
Frankly speaking, before while it is far. However against the western
Anti-Utopias "Russian revolt" looks if not alternative,
The useful historical digression which at least a few is clearing up
To the European public that occurs today "in this mysterious
To the country ".
