Review
Very difficult to analyze and evaluate this film without knowing the identity of Sergey Kuriokhin, which is kind of spiritual inspiration of this picture. Soviet and Russian avant-garde musician, jazz musician, composer, actor, had a unique view of life to religion. Here is just a brief that can be said about this multi-faceted personality. It is no accident that, even in the title of the movie for us mere spectators hidden mystery "Loch - Lord of water." The name is clearly twofold - on the one hand slang 90s with another premise to Japanese culture. The contrast is even more expressed in the film, where the situation is "dashing 90" compared with the reading of a Japanese poem. Without going into all the mythology of the film, the story is quite simple: engineer Gorelikov another open-house computer facilities. Suddenly, this quiet place is demolished by a gang of racketeers. Dies other bones. And then the eternal "hick" Gorelikov engages in battle with bandits. Colorful image of the character and the situation in which he finds himself, and the film's original slogan, which are full of campaign flyers in the movie "The last hope of the country" in the future will result in our kinematogrofa in the film "Brother" and "Brother 2", which will all be very clear and clear. In the meantime, we will have to solve this puzzle, but you can not fully understand it without understanding the people who created it without the knowledge of their past work without mythology on which they relied. Without this, we can say that it is but an interesting movie - the charismatic main character - with the theme of revenge for the sake of justice, which will soon become one of the most beloved in Russia and in the world cinema.
In short, the landmark films of the early 90's.
Opinion
Very moody movie.
The movie has a number of shortcomings, in terms of dynamics and some slurred in the script. The impression that the filmmakers intend to do all methods of struggle "sucker" Gorelikova bandits some implausible, but rather even comical, to immediately withdraw all claims to the status of the domestic thriller. No doubt the whole story - it's an allegory for some more profound ideas, some of which are illustrated with quotations from the epic Shii.
Everything else there is to illustrate the offset Kuryokhin as an actor and as a matter of the composer. In fact, as a "needle" with Tsoi valuable by Tsoi, and this film is valuable presence in it Kuryokhin.
Sergei Kurehin composed music for several films, and this is also played. Now it is very difficult to see more than twenty years, the value of which had a "coming out" from the depths of the underground figures like Kuryokhin, Bugaev Africa Mamleev, Mamonov Prigov. For those who just found these events, the symbol of the "wind of change" was remembered Solov'ev "Assa" and the whole trilogy. One of the main topics of the trilogy Solovyov metaphorical theme was the flood of waters which othlynuvshih saved favorites. Bananan-Africa Solovyov "utopia." "Loch - Water Winner" polemically pointed against such treatment cleansing flood.
ReplyDeleteFlood - destructive, it is the end of the country, the end of the "underground" era, offset all the usual targets, the release of energy, but also anarchy. Water - a conductor of electricity, this one more underground metaphors linking Kuryokhin Grebenshikov and then - have not completely shown their essence glossy zapopsovevshego conformist "makaronycha" for simpletons more intelligent than "Makaronych" from "The Time Machine." Flood - the terrible judgment of God, which is to destroy not only the "strangle the liberty," but also those who bear the stamp of Egyptian slavery, even if only as a rebellious Moses - who did not come to pass Jordan. Clear realization that there is no distinct boundary between "them" and "us", between the inert, stamped weight from the top to the Kremlin Biruliovsky Kolpinskaya and lower classes, on the one hand, and the "heroes of Russian rock" prohibited persons, on the other - is consciousness was the most significant, opposed hypocrisy perky "Rebuild" audience. And so the "Water Winner" performed Kuryokhin ambivalent, as does the flood - the water, then he wins, after the flood is still alive, but the phone rings and the infernal voice dictates it is the same "account number", which dictated his defeated opponents character, the master of electricity.
Kurehin - and in this movie, too - did not avoid the open demonstration that is in conflict with the opposition to the Orthodox faith, and can be, and the higher religious authority. "Demonic" composer pushing him to the notation itself as evil, which sometimes led to very questionable results - for example, rather warps that wonderful writer wrote the music for the mediocre agitation in the spirit of "Under 16 and over," the film "The tragedy in the rock." Why Sergei went to working with some force, we identify in this film rock and teen drug abuse, in fact, prudent involvement of adolescents in the world is more dangerous drugs? Perhaps it was to him another way to say that he is not "bright man" carrying a reasonable, good, eternal. But underground, and self-condemnation in the form in which it is presented Solovyov Kuryokhin have not. He looked at his own destructiveness (mentioned) is not eye moralist. He was not going to repent, and cry and mourn for her ruined life. He chose to bring in their way of a proud Luciferian rebellion, and it is much more valuable as a semantic phenomenon than comic, and to give theatricalism "conversion" rockers - Mamonova, BG and others. Where have gone your Krishna and yogis, your Babylon and Osiris, Lord Punker?
Flora's review:
ReplyDeleteGreat movie, great soundtrack. Sergei Kurehin somewhat in their roles - not ape and clown. Perhaps the only drama of his role. The film saw only once on TV in 1992, and it still showed a ever?
The plot is simple: Modernity, thugs, gangsters, personality conflicts and organized crime. But this film is not primitive, and some very intelligent, or what? And the final - there are no words! After killing the dragon, you become a dragon, taking his place? Who decides this? When?
