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.

Film is based on a story by Leonid Andreyev "Life Basil Thebes", the fate of the village priest Basil, who passed through a great many troubles, renounces God, to a still greater grief regain faith - true.

Review

"Purification" - a mystical drama about the fate of the priest, his crazy wife, drunkards, their daughters, mocks his parents and sick son, imagining her mother's dreams.

The film was shot on one of the taboo in the Soviet Union, so it shows the spiritual elevation of the main character, speaking of the existence of God, as immutable dogma. However, the main character, the priest loses faith in God.

Acting in a film on top. Each of the actors plays so that it seems as if his character - the main. The game also Balueva beyond all praise.

The film is striking in its directness, sincerity, and mysticism. He was removed to the public, but, first of all, for people who believe.
