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!
