Anton Dolin. Ten films of the week: December 11-17
"Grinch, Christmas kidnapper" (premiere) . In the United States, this is the first of traditional pre -science films to take fifth place in cash fees in the history of cinema. Moreover, the film is exclusively childish. The plot, a little reminiscent of the brilliant Christmas cartoon, Tim Barton, "The nightmare for Christmas", tells of the Chistshche Grinche. It, the monster, is very evil for all of humanity, which, with its stupid preparations for an incomprehensible winter holiday, prevents the monster. And then the green schmuck Grinch, whose heart is half as much than that of a person, decides to change clothes of Santa Claus (Santa Claus) and abduct Christmas in humanity. One of the reasons for the incredible success of the film: it is placed on the beloved American Christmas fairy tale, completely unknown with us. The second: in the title role - the favorite of children and adults Jim Carrie. Finally, the third: the worthy Oscar made Carrie unrecognizable, and this makeup became essentially the main character of a pretty, completely fairy tale.

"Width" (premiere) . The project is what you need: ultra -high -way and extremely successful in the box office (an advertising slogan at the poster says - “Titanic sunk”! ”) South Korean film. Not only for lovers of exotic cinema - rather for fans of James Bond. Critics are more impressed by a comparison with Nikita, but in addition to the fact that a beautiful woman acts as a killer, there is no similarity. The spy large -scale thriller, tense and professional, sins only by the usual oddities of the genre (a bomb on which a five -minute counter is installed, explodes for about twenty minutes). The plot is based on the confrontation between South and North Korea: Extremists from the latter hope to disrupt the friendly match of the football teams of the two countries with the help of an unprecedented terrorist attack ...

"There is nowhere to hide." Madness, but the fact: the second South Korean film, which was released during the week in the capital on the screens, not within the festival, but in a normal rental. This is cool. In addition, the film is worthy, reflecting the other side of Korean cinema: not a hollywood desire for large-scale effects and dramatic-romantic conflicts, but "national traditions of steepness." The press compares “nowhere” with “cops” - a meaningless plot, full of chase and battles between good police and evil criminals, can really recall the Russian series, but stylistics here is not more original. The distributors define the genre of the film as an "absurd action movie." This is already closer. The goals that the heroes of the film go to, not a single viewer feels, but many will like the murders and battles under the pouring rain.

"Invulnerable." The new inflation from M. Knight Shyamalan, the scriptwriter of Stuart Little and the director of the “sixth feeling”. Now not only Bruce Willis, but also Samuel L. Jackson contribute to the Indian provocateur in the holy cause of the collapse of Hollywood from the inside. "Invulnerable" - Bruce himself, who survived in the unthinkable catastrophe of the train and did not receive a single scratch. For the hero, this is a mystery, but for the character of L.Jexs - not at all. To top it off, the plot is involved in comics and other American cliches. As in the “sixth feeling”, the clear minus is an excessive pathos, expressed in heavy tears of innocent children and a surge -symphonic soundtrack. Pros - a paradoxical plot with an unexpected (again) finale, cool costumes, not bad installation and very high -quality (not in Hollywood) operator work. It’s worth it to look at, but do not flatter yourself in advance. ( Detailed review )

"Crazy Cecil B." . A new scandal from John Waters, the author of the legendary "pink flamingo" - one of the most defiantly bad fibers in the history of the movie. The story of the director of the avant-garde, who, at the head of the radical group, abducts the Hollywood megazvezt (Melanie Griffith) for filming an extremely independent film. She gradually begins to get a taste ... A few exceptionally funny scenes and dialogs, in general - a slightly sloppy anthem of marginalism. The war for an art house with pistols in his hands looks impressive, but not quite convincing. However, the film is undoubtedly witty, like its creator. ( Detailed review )

"Sixth day" . A new film with Arnold Schwarzenegger than everything is said. The last time we saw Arnie in the "end of the world", which most of his fans did not like, but what's the matter! Everyone is aging - and Arnold is no exception. However, even losing the iron grip of the superman-culturalist, he remains a good actor with a very specific sense of humor. "Sixth Day" - a new incarnation of the plot of one of the best Schwarz films "Remember everything"; Only this time, Arnie no longer plays the Savior of mankind, and the plot is involved in the clones, and not on mutants. Arnold doubles in the eyes, including in his own. Morality looks unconvincing, and chases and shootings are quite. ( Detailed review )

"What hides a lie." The last work of the great American conjunker Robert Zemeckis, the author of the trilogy “Back to the Future” and “Who substituted Roger’s rabbit?”, After the phenomenal success of “Forrest Gump”, which became the next film symbol of the nation. The next film, "Contact", thoughtful the story of spiritual communication with aliens, was recognized as critics not quite successful. The new Zemeckis goes to "Hurray". The slow psychologically-mystical thriller with blood-free details is completely built in the spirit of Hitchcock in acting-aging, but still beautiful spouses performed by Harrison Ford and Michelle Pfaifer. The latter now plays just such beauties in age (see the "History of us") that it is to the face. The only problem is that the psychological and detective component does not fully fit with the mystical, but otherwise everything is in order. Without unnecessary pathos, glued tightly. Good music in the old spirit, many details, close -ups, silent scenes. The finale is a little disappointed ... But what else to expect from the film with such a meager number of actors?

"Kikujiro" . The best film of the most promoted Japanese director-actor Takeesi Kitano today. Having abandoned the samurai-yakudza theme, he turned into blessed idiocy and defiantly fell into childhood. The result is impressive: from this essay on the topic "How I spent my vacation", even the most serious viewer will not turn away. The director himself, finally leaving the image of a sharp man, acts in an unusual role for him, who is ready to go along with an unfamiliar boy with a hitchhiking through the whole country. This time minimalism was reflected in the plot. Kindergarten humor is irresistible. Music Joe Hisisi (permanent composer Kitano) is higher than all praise.

"Just blood." The first film of the Cohen brothers is a real legend of independent cinema. Triumph in Sandens in the 84th - the beginning of the era of alternative cinema in the United States. Stylish and black cinema, converted by witty brothers "under the present." However, there are few changes - mostly a new sound path, a dial -up -sound, a little cleaned installation and a five -minute “advertising” video at the beginning. In general, this story about the Texas adultery, living dead and a cynical fat man in a cowboy hat look in 2000 at least where. (Detailed review )

"Lock" . A session that is a shame to miss a real movieman. A truly exclusive only show in the "Museum of Cinema" as part of the German cinema Week of one of the few (and even more valuable) films of the cruel guru of modern Austrian culture, Michael Haneke. Moreover, this time the author of "Funny Games" and "Benny Video" filmed the "castle" of Kafka. The lights closer to the original did not see the light. The book is transferred to the screen literally word for word. Each mise -en -scene is true to the original. The camera is static, episodes break off in a half -word, half -stroke - Haneca's favorite technique. The film itself also breaks off (in accordance with the unfinished novel). In three main roles - three main actors of "Fun games".
