The film's protagonist Valera - gay guy from Moscow, who at age 19 learned a whole hell of war in Afghanistan, where he lost a leg. Returning from the war, he had no idea what a nightmare for him is just beginning ...
Review
In 1925, the famous American writer William Faulkner wrote the short story "The Leg." In this work, it was a young student at Oxford Devi, who was to take part in the First World War and lost a leg in battle. Surreal story describes the struggle with all the evil Davy, which arose in him during the war and took on a ghostly form.
In 1991, a young film director Nikita Tyagunov decides to withdraw his debut as a screen version of this story. Write the script, he asked a familiar playwright Kozhushanova Nadezhda, who decided that the plot of the story is easy to transfer to modern realities. Since Devi was Valery Martynov, and turned into the First World War in Afghanistan.
The main role Tyagunov chosen casually got to watch an obscure young student VGIK Ivan Ohlobystin. Thus, the "foot" - a film shot almost one debutant (director, cinematographer, lead actor, director picture). So notable for its success not only in the framework of the Russian kinoprostranstva, but also in numerous international festivals.
See the "foot" I decided solely because Ohlobystin Ivan, whom I have always loved for its originality and some special magic that exude his kinopersonazhi from Parfen Rogozhin to the doctor Bykov, from an unnamed scout special person to advertiser Malyuta.
The film "leg" posmotrenny 20 years after its release, makes a very strange impression. At first he did not really like it. He shot in his favorite style Russian directors of the time: the strange music, intricate dialogue, surreal scenes. It is clear only that nothing is clear. Then I read the story of Faulkner and article about the film on Wikipedia, which explains a lot. 4 days after viewing, I realized that I can not let go of some of the scenes from the film, and especially the 10-minute dialogue Ohlobystin and Peter Mamonov. There is in this scene, something that goes deep into the soul and does not rest.
In short, this is a film about the senselessness of war and ruthlessness, about how the man who has passed through this hell, that he would never be able to live in the old way, and that the foot - this is not very strong that he to lose. Okhlobystin just perfect. Still, it's an amazing actor - a thin, lively, charming.
Advised to see "step" I do not presume. Russian films of the early 90's - this is a very material to the amateur. But if you like the aesthetics and style of shooting such films as "Assa", "Black Rose - Emblem of Sorrow", "referee", be sure to take a look and "foot." It is no wonder that it unconditionally accepted and loved, a veteran Afghan war.
This movie blew my mind. Detonated in a literal sense.
ReplyDeleteLooking at the release date of the film (1991) sincerely rejoice for the director, who managed with such skill and, most importantly - convincingly convey the atmosphere and tension of the Soviet thriller (probably close to inflame passions is another domestic "thriller" called "Ghoul", but that's another story.)
Name of the painting "The Leg", and that Leg one of the main characters, or rather the characters. In fact, with the same success, this hero could be hand, back, neck, head, and, again, it does not matter, because this is only the embodied soul...
Leg Valery Martynov - the shadow of a young scientist Christian-Theodore Schwartz of the play, the only difference is that in the play shadow disappears after the death of the scientist, in the film - Leg replaces the hero...
Metaphysics amazing story.
One view is clearly not enough to visit all the loopholes of the psychedelic maze, and each new content requires courage...

No film did not make such an impression on me! Can not be forgotten: each frame is imprinted in you all. No matter what it does not. Very fresh, strong, exciting. Inexplicable. Of course, the genre is a real Surrey - the film is seen every cell and soul, though the move is the perception of the ordinary words as possible, how much pity. Because inevitably destroy the integrity of the experience. It's about as if a unique piece of music to repeat single notes on paper...
ReplyDeleteMagnificent script from the author of "The Mirror for a Hero", the incredible direction of Nikita Tyagunov with brilliant debut (Mamonov and Okhlobystin here as like as brothers!), A fascinating musical arrangement, amazing development destinies of all the main participants of shooting...
I do not want to continue, so that everyone can miss this masterpiece in itself a whole, not focusing on other people's reviews and experiences...
CO's review:
ReplyDeleteI confess that I decided to see a movie just because it was listed in the credits Ivan Okhlobystin. Always thought this man of genius, and this film - another confirmation of this. So clearly show the character, experience of Martin, the protagonist of the film, perhaps, would not have been anyone.
"The Leg" film - screen adaptation of the story by William Faulkner. The story is about a young man who went through the war, his experiences of what has left an indelible mark on his soul war. The film is very hard to grasp: the whole film accompanies us oppressive atmosphere, washed-out colors, a premonition of disaster.
In general, I personally do not like films on similar subjects, too hard then at heart. But this ... must watch! Great story and script written by him, harmonious duet Okhlobystin - Mamonov. And most importantly, it makes a great deal to think about.
My verdict: look and point! Why? First, the film is good in his performance. Second, for the overall development. Third, on such topics should reflect such Nuno movies to watch! Fourth, if only for a brilliant game Ohlobystin! (He was in the movie inimitable)
Dmitry's review
ReplyDeleteIvan Alien. That's what was listed in the credits of the then-unknown young talented Ivan Okhlobystin. Ivan Martin played so emotionally and passionately that all of the plot twists are a backdrop to the expression actor. This level of the game, I saw no one, and there is nothing surprising in the fact that his talent was immediately popular. Truth is not in such a dramatic form. Appearance in the film for about fifteen minutes brother Martin played Peter Mamonov just above praise. Their unconstrained dialogue pulls immediately reconsider so acting duo harmonious and unique. The "King", unfortunately, both were out of place (Lungin wrong with the choice of actors, but he can be forgiven, too many good movies he has). At that time (1991) Peter was in "The Sound of MU" not propovedstvuyuschy hermit and hero of mediocre mono-performances ("Is There Life on Mars" does not count) and he told me dearer and nearer. The film is not devoid of prestigious awards, but did not receive mass recognition. In an age like videobuma creativity through the array side. It has two significant disadvantages. Monotonous piano works very depressing, perhaps the director wanted, but obviously had too much and very slurred and tighten the ending. These two factors do not allow me to call the film a masterpiece.
Nora Abrikosova:
ReplyDeleteThis film performs surgery on your head and do not even ask permission. He does not care what you think, you feel pain, or anesthesia has acted, you shout or groan, he does not care ...
What did you expect? Another tale of the maturing of the American teenager? Cost. Enough already cooling off your brain, it's time to think about the present. It's time to experience the real life with its collisions and contradictions that can throw people off the road and smile in response to him: "Why". It can give wisdom, and maybe stupid, can give wealth, and maybe the porch. It's all there - all matter, all fates, all causes and all the answers. And what will happen to a man, depends only on him.
That Valera (the main character) is trying to manage his life, despite the circumstances, the Afghan, the pain in my heart and body. His hysterical laughter - laughter at this loneliness, laughter on the sorrows, laughing like a hard slap in the face to all that surrounds it. He makes his choice, and that is his right. Only him.
How many were there - thousands? How many of them now - thousands? Those who do not want to accept the environmental stupidity, stupidity, indifference, orders and sops. In the 90's is what they were fighting for democracy, walking in front of tanks to Yeltsin, the restructuring - it is their years. They believed in a better life, because they've seen worse. And let them say now that they cruelly mistaken. At the time, they were right.
As a rule and those who are now against those same stupidity, indifference and orders. This they now feed the homeless on the streets and join the ranks of anti-fascists and take care of the world in which they live, and for the sake of becoming anti-globalists and green. It is they who straight-Adger, and say "no" alkgolyu, drugs, tobacco, promiscuous and pop. Let radically, but now it is right. This "labor." It is their informed choice. This is their movie.
"What right do you feel the same?" Asked writer S. Ryadchenko, held the flame war in Afghanistan, the author of the script. Perhaps she and we have a moral right. How can we feel what happened to us. That's what we do not. Phantom pain. Protagonist Valery Martynov after amputation tormented phantom pain. Leg ... As if alive. She cut off and left alive. And she reminds herself. It is not just the foot, part of the body ... It appears here more as a reminder. As a tattoo, nick, anything left on the memory. The terrible memories of the war. Of Afghanistan. A memory that will not work, not zarubtsuetsya.
ReplyDeleteThe Leg - a memory. And we, watching movies, should also feel phantom pain. The pain from the memory, which we have not. It is in all of us, or at least it should be in everyone. I just have one it is, and the other "amputated" on their own volition. But it hurts.
"Afghanistan hurts in my soul" ... and not only Afghanistan ... The film reveals the aspects of life that do not talk. Scrapping the consciousness of the hero. "Afghan syndrome 'dogged not only to Martin, who learns to live with it, and most of his brother, which is difficult to endure his suffering.
Is a logical and predictable ending. Lost connection to the past. And there is no future without a past, as you know.
Psychedelic existential drama
ReplyDeleteAnd what is hell? Unknown location underground, where according to Russian folklore sent sinners, or is it something more mysterious, not giving the perception and therefore can not be given a specific definition? I'm still inclined to the second option, but adjusted for the fact that it seems to me that everyone has his own Hell. What we deserve here, and we will be back there ..
The film is not here and not there. No, there is a specific location - Afghanistan. But still, everything is seen for a certain prism of unreality which plunges into shock from the ordeal of the cargo, which in itself is a soldier Valera. I dare zamteti that he carries it pretty cold, cynical and with a certain proportion of alienation, because Valerie is a great actor Ivan Okhlobystin (removed here under the pseudonym Ivan Alien). It transmits all the pain and suffering of the hero knocking the viewer a fair share of what is happening to him.
Fast frame rates, "switching" from the past to the present, and from now on the opportunity to create that same atmosphere of surreal psychedelic, which can be applied to any subject, but not to the subject of the Afghan war. But the director Nikita Tyagunov boldly experimenting and making new parts in the picture, creating sverhoriginalnyh and insane tape on human consciousness and its psychological essence exposing it all in the image of the "Afghan syndrome". And going back to thinking about the existence of Hell, the director shows us exactly the "individual" Hell, that Valera, the hero of the film, takes just such a form. A couple of times while watching, I slipped a laugh, this neuro-hysterical laughter, because to perceive and understand everything that's going on, in full nearly impossible.
Valery's review
ReplyDeleteMy feet on the ground, my head works, hand charge that drive. I'm starting to dive ...
I see life, the one side of it with which not everyone is destined to confront and check sharpness on himself. Want to try? We are all going to die, but to die like this, with such a concentration of his mind on a specific event, worthy event ... I'm sure that many have to go this way ... When it comes to how people react to certain information not ordinary, passing through it, not can be two hits in one funnel. Chain of associations will pull man, link by link to the truth, his truth. How wonderful that everyone has a decoder.
Form and content. Young body, war, amputation, deadlock, blood revenge, suicide. For me is a form of the film. Extraordinary thinking hero, breaking her or if I want to open new states in war, the loss of self control, despair, concentration of consciousness on themselves and their experiences, exit. Content.
Look for a black cat in a dark room when it's not there's an interesting exercise. In this film, as much pain and despair, as I usually see in those people whom life cut way to getting pleasure. Whether it's a bag of crackers grandmother waiting for their favorite birds, paralyzed, or a man who lost his integrity (physical or mental integrity). Look around you. We're running out of desperation, but in a couple of meters away from us life puts the point, and sometimes this point is drawn into a hole in my head ...
If you think that this movie is just a fairy tale, fable, antirealnost. I do not envy your weaknesses. Great tutorial on phantom pains to study psychology.
Those who are looking for answers and read my words, I can say from experience, dude you're on the right track, do not listen to anyone, you are not alone.
I watched the film just because it was shot by Ivan Okhlobystin. The fact that there will be more and Peter was to me a pleasant surprise. In fact, we have a sample of early works of Ivan, which in my opinion he is still looking for you. Sometimes there are his own and do not have. The movie rocks like a ship in a storm is in the direction of a thriller, the drama aside, the comedy. Perhaps if the author still decided that they did shoot, it would have been more advantageous in terms of entertainment and box office, but he would have lost their identity and otherness. It is in this writing as otherness. Put the film 7.5. Paint will not. Perhaps somewhere that I do not doglyadel did not finish, I'll try to look again. In any case, multi-layered and poignant film. Cactus sort of jokes, but this cactus like no other - useful and recommended for use. Just do not watch it on TV interspersed with advertising, it has enough clear rhythm and it (advertising) would you constantly from it (discard rate).
