Women with a tail

Under the curtain, after a few days dedicated to television aesthetics , the Kinotavr showed a real movie - not always perfect, but at least existing in a certain cinematic context. “Alien work” by Denis Shabaev, capable of a student of Marina Razbuzhkina, is about a sensitive migrant worker, dreaming of an acting career. The drama of Alena Davydova “Ivan” for the classic plot “Friendship of a child and an adult leading to the spiritual revival of the latter” (the production project of Svetlana Karmalita and her son Alexei German). "Pupil" by Kirill Serebrennikov, who participated in the Cannes "special view"; Mystical Neonourg Guillaume Protsenko “wake me up” with forgotten, but still powerful Kirill Pirogov; Funny cinema about the movie “The Lights of the Big Village” by the son of Alexei Teacher Ilya - all these are films made more or less strong, but invariably by the authors.

The most powerful shot at the auditorium was the “zoology” of Ivan I. Tverdovsky (the film received the prize of the guilds of film science and film critics and a prize for the main female role) - an author in which in the film critical community it is accepted to actively spit, reproaching at once on hateful of humanity, exploiting audience emotions and attempts to comply with the festival conjuncture. Tverdovsky’s films often cause an almost physiological disgust among the public - at the same time, the author’s disgust for people as disgusting people to each other, but most of all to themselves are devoted. The physiological symbol of existential nausea in the “zoology” becomes a tail - a dense, leathery tail, suddenly growing in the main character and making it similar to the rat, which she pampers pythons in the zoo, where she works as an animal supply specialist. The literal inability to more consistent with his own idea of ​​himself pushes the middle -aged lady living with an unpleasant caring mother (hello to the “pianist” and a hundred other films about the fruits of Overprotivence in education), to a series of experiments - from a new haircut and a short skirt to a young man and sex in nature. The sappress of this thriller is not whether the heroine will accept those around him - it is clear that there is no (although the director enters the territory of magical realism, where the radiologist is phlegmatically scanning tail, except to hold it with his hand so that it does not tremble). The main question, of course, is whether she will accept herself, and the author does not have an answer until the last moment: it is known that in the scenario, Tverdovsky had several finals, of which he did not dare to choose one. Whatever, however, the heroine decided - the author who invented her completely obviously votes for the right of the individual to self -determination. And this once again proves that Tverdovsky, while he is cursed for a consumer attitude towards the audience and contempt for people, chanting humanism and freedom with might and main. He successfully passes an exam for love for artists. The Nude scene is always indicative in this sense - in them the exact Natalya Pavlenkova looks a rare beauty.

A lot of naked nature and in the full-length debut of Anton Biljo “Fish-Dream” about the love of the Baltic Mermaid and the St. Petersburg philologist. True, it was removed by a somewhat less masterly than “Zoology”: having come up with an excellent story about a lonely clamped intellectual, who suddenly meets unrealistic love in every sense, but does not know what to do with her, a former copywriter, the author of several interesting shortcomings, the artist’s son and a rather sensitive artist Biljo forgot to conclude an alliance with some genius operator. A good fairy tale for adults turned out to be exactly what is focused. This is especially evident in such potentially visionary scenes as the singing of mermaids in hotel karaoke. The heroine and her sisters, occupying microphones, tighten the wet song in the spirit of Angelo Badalamenti; Here, the reality of the Primorsky boarding house before our eyes begins to break against the muffle sinking through it - the jaw falls off at the most lascivious vacationer in the bar, here it runs away, laughing, from Tolstoy Finn in a sailor into the darkness of the couple of thick -sized Muscovites. But, it seems, we are observing all these eyes that accidentally hit the site to the conditional linch of a person who settled behind Peter Deming and takes off the same as he, but only on the old Nokia and with arbitrary personnel. As a result, you have to watch an imaginary film with an excellent plot and actors, the best of which is the playing Undine of Severia Janushauskite. She already received a Kinotavrov prize for an impeccable, but slightly monotonous rich bitch in Anna Melikyan's Star. In Bilzho, her acting presence reaches some completely sky-high heights (or, conversely, the depths of the depths): with its appearance in the frame, the silent mermaid removes even such charismatics as Vladimir Mishukov and Maxim Vitorgan.

It is hardly possible to imagine a "Kinotavr" without a constant section "Fresh debutant of the producer Sergei Selvanov." It almost never happened that it was so-so debutant: among the previous participants-Mizgirev, Bakuradze, Voloshin, Buslov Sr.. The new person involved Roman Artemyev acts in the Universum of the STVT, which is well known to us, where human gopniks, defenseless visitors from the regions and hilarious Alexander Bashirov live. “A man from the future” is a fake SCI - FI about the adventures of a physics teacher in a silver suit, who appeared to predict the Apocalypse to the world and was unexpectedly heard. Another replica about the media devouring us, extracted from the author’s and cooperative cinema with the early nineties Pierrisharov’s physiognomy of the artist Alexander Kupolova, Anna German with the “hope” in the soundtrack - the “man from the future”, the real hymn of humanism, with all his charming amateur purebateness, it seems, there is not a single minus. In the finale, the hero deprived by superpowers, like a balloon, suddenly soars to the hospital window, where his beloved woman gives birth to a desperate to see, and with the intonation of the returning Detochkin recognizes her love. We will believe that Russian author’s cinema will return to us the same way - magical, suddenly, when we are already dressed up.
