Review

In the post-Soviet era theme of persecution of Jews in the state or only in the domestic scale sometimes become an excuse for all sorts of speculation filmmakers, which can not be avoided, in particular, and the film "See Paris and die." This picture is unpleasant affects, above all, the lack of dignity and hysteria, including - in the game Tatyana Vasilyeva, somehow marked a variety of prizes: the festival "Kinotavr" prize "Nika" and even monetary award from the Moscow City Hall. Of course, anti-Semitism as a manifestation of the universal chauvinism should call the righteous anger of the normal citizens, and a typical Jewish mother, ready to do anything for his talented son, a pianist, is required to obtain from the audience only the hot empathy - and nothing more.

But oddly enough, while watching the movie Alexander Proshkin (its "Cold Summer of ..." was far-tuned to exactly the socio-political tone in the treatment of recurrent Stalinism too outrageous) does not leave one feeling. The heroine Elena is more concerned about the device prosperous career own offspring Jura and desirable to "not in this country," and not genuine concerns about domestic and state oppression of the Jews. In any event, for her concept of the "fifth point" in the questionnaire also acquired psychopathological to "fad", sort of persecution.

And at one of those moments, even if you - half-Jewish, and the mother, begins to experience a sharp bias against victims who are pursuing to provoke retaliatory inappropriate actions. A message, the application directly to the title belt is completely offensive: stóit whether voluntarily leave their homeland (whatever bastard it was!), If in a dream Paris wants right to die - either from an indescribable joy, or of all-consuming angst? Perhaps, with the support of actress director created a different, more sinister way: not a Jewish mother, but Soviet obsessed aunt, who is obsessed with the implementation of their repressed complexes, wanting to create the perfect destiny for his son, so the nationality has absolutely nothing to do with it, and mean neighbor -Russian, envying other people's success, is the villain, even without his anti-Semitic remarks?

That is the Jewish motif appears in the movie "See Paris and die" bringing in favor of modernity and not without a certain amount of speculation: to play on the first hushed material and achieve external severity of the problem. The effect is largely gets back on the result - the viewer, regardless of awards handed out generously, may instead be irritated because of the role which she performed Tatyana Vasilyeva-Itsykovich.

Review

Great! Says Roger Ibert: "Two thumbs up!" 

Of all the film is based on the scenario A. Yining, this film, I think his best work. Although to me, of course, disagree adorers "Once 20 years" or "Offered for Singles."

However, all very cheerfully, funny and touching, sometimes to tears. At the junction of the two eras, probably already on the third attempt (after the "Operation Cooperation" and "Deribasovskaya") Yining, finally came up with a miracle that the history of how people had to shift to the new circumstances of the time and go after all the troubles have not lost their own dignity . 

In general, if you see where (and this is very difficult), be sure to see and admire!

Meeting with Georgian guy distract hopelessly sick girl from the experience. With his parents' heroes travel to Israel for medical advice. It turns out that she is healthy. It seemed that life was adjusted ... But their happiness does not last long: to replace the sadness comes another one ...

Review

Once seen on television movie Valery Akhadova initially perceived as a "burning tears of melodrama" (not a coincidence that in 1994 Ahadov arranged in Magnitogorsk, which was working in the theater, a special film festival more noble name "Crystal Tears"). But here's an unconventional ending with voluntary death of the heroine, which still could not meet even rash promise to his beloved die, made quite a different look at the tape.


Valery Ahadov works pretty smoothly - successful pictures ("Who is going to Truskavets?", "Family Secrets"), and not very successful ("Ruth") alternate with all checkpoints, random, supposedly removed forcibly. And in the film "I promised, I'll go ..." to detect signs of unpretentious, negligence, haste, though hectic period "mnogokartinya" that occurred in the late 90's, it seems to not only set out clearly and intelligibly, but also as Development of the more stylistically justifiable and artistic interpretation.

This band started as usual melodrama about a girl from somewhere in the Urals, who accidentally discovered by a local doctor that she had, in all probability, breast cancer - and to live very long. Then the story gets adventurous (crazy ride in his car to the Black Sea, the deception of the young businessmen of Georgian) and romantic (the meeting with the beautiful and noble prince - the future architect Tomaz actually belongs to the family of the Georgian princes). He appeared as if from their own dreams girls, but their love of the "on the edge of the abyss" and amid the beauties of Tbilisi and Tel Aviv to give her the necessary history "touches hysterical" - just like in the play "The Lady of the Camellias", excerpts of which we sometimes wedged into the narrative.


But modern Violetta, by the way, amazingly thin, delicate and exquisitely played by Elena Korikovoy another three years before her success in "Mistress into Maid" is neither a lady of the demimonde, inexorably fading from consumption, or (later discover) terminally ill, which surely must leave her Armand. However, the gap between the two lovers, who had already combined seemingly doomed marriage, it is still going on - and not metaphysical, but by long-known issue of class (and ethnic - part of a new, post-Soviet) prejudice.

And instead of suffering, and the final happy reunion parted loved ones, whose ways and views about again intersect at one point and now forever, is something that breaks the traditional system verified melodrama. Of course, "Lady of the Camellias" can be seen as a case avtoevtanazii, slow mortification. But the young heroine of the novel Yevgeny Kozlovsky, served as the basis for the film Valeria Akhadova, passes away quietly, as if just fallen asleep on the seat coaches still solves it in an instant, dramatic force of will, and most importantly - a sense of self-esteem: "I promised, I'll go! ".

If it were not for the music ... It was Michael Tariverdiev music, even for him, not quite familiar instrumented (just like the style of Oleg Karavaychuk in the 70's), originally perceived as an imbalance of this sad story, gradually perceived even in the harmonic terms. She - as a kind of hymn to light detachment of being, which is not completed abroad death, and goes on and on in a different time and place, in the infinite otherness. And the transition to those unfamiliar with life outside is not terrible, but at peace and rest. Most Tariverdiyeva not become in this world in 4 years - but there was his music, as the good news from wherever, promising or not promising, they leave.

These people survived the Second World War and immediately fell in the "death camp", the Kolyma. At least two million people were in captivity in Germany. This was seen as a betrayal of the motherland, Article 58. Death camps - an innovation NKVD operated flawlessly. It was aimed at the destruction of the "enemies of the people".

No, they did not kill, people simply do not stand up, zvereli and destroy each other, someone died from disease, cold and hunger. In the film, several of rehabilitated prisoners talk about their cruel fate, that very few people know that was held in strict secrecy for years. This nuance "convict" life, wild and fierce.

MOVIE 1 - "The Story of a trust" Dilapidated wooden buildings, empty eye sockets of windows, bunks in the barracks, the stars in the towers, a rickety fence, a wooden bridge - either to freedom, whether in the end - is all that remains of one of the countless Stalin camps. "Stone promised to keep secret" - now it protects only the countless bodies of victims of the regime, were buried here. It all started in the 30s ..

MOVIE 2 - "Face to Face" civilian workers, former prisoners and the children born in the camps continue to show. The end of the 30's - early 40's. for prisoners abounded important events. First expected changes due to the removal of Yezhov and Beria's appointment. But instead of change went indiscriminate shootings ...

MOVIE 3 - "The war after the war" from the mountain, which has a cracked old "cup" high-voltage transmission lines, are the ruins of the camp. Chronicle - soldiers of the Great Patriotic meet with victory and with flowers. In parallel with these trains were other trains that are not met by flowers. Those who traveled in them - military prisoners, immigrants - from German captivity were sent to the Soviet prisoners in the camp. They wanted to return home, but instead received a tribunal and jail. Began again denunciations, to tighten, and the handcuffs were put numbers that are now replaced with the names .... Among prisoners created underground organizations, people went into hiding. They are shot, dead bodies lay unburied for weeks fugitives to frighten, but they still ran - drove the excitement of freedom and human dignity. Death was a common thing ... This film authors have devoted innocently murdered, our brothers and sisters, found peace in Kolyma anonymously on cold ground.

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.
