Review

I went ... to God for the freedom to fight and fight and fell like a hot fire smoke was gone.

I once touched the beautiful so out of my mind this girl all the time does not fly out, but remained in the first half of the youth and adulthood (21-35).

Liberty wants everyone to understand that it is different for children and adults. To cut to friveyam should take place in this life, and if such opportunities at the moment, then at least begrudgingly pozaglyadyvat through the wall of obstacles to this freedom not want me one.
 Actually, I noticed that our local people watch less movies and later to ripen them, all the more the channel is not on the European mainland and in American movies. Russian same movies, especially the older ones often with neuropathic endings in contrast to household plot. And this is far from gone, apparently shot the father of "Brother", like that film shows uncut dognivaniya period and the collapse of the USSR State colossus.

All pretty vital shown is that if you fall in love himself is not necessarily mutually and do not always have a couple of matches, such a stretch misalliance happened with Robert-Bob. Of course the characters are not named in nashenskie Bob and Nat, some awkwardness. In love with a biker and a stern voice-over narration sensibly conducted without thinking of the appropriate words, they came from the heart. Entertained devils, weaving about the future, about zagadyvaya house in the suburbs. A girl, it was not necessary, she ssuchilas. Maybe her life so obtochila, but she went hitchhiking, no money with a strange desire to move to another part of the world.

The guy from Saratov, was looking for her in the basement, where they slept, but peering into the room he saw the girl-child defenseless and naked, for me it is not clear what was meant. As a result, Bob acted not reasonable zagrobiv yourself, your motsel and as in the ballad of the ancient Russian warrior shadow wandered through the snow near a spreading bush as a true Solitario myeon, terse in life, not to humiliate the fear of death, he made a fire and waited. No time to see, love came to him, softened guy will blunt caution fatal fascination turned an ordinary Russian girl. The film very much, reminds of past stage with just such a stone cold (deadpan) man, but a happy and without tragedy.

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.
