"The car is gaining reliability"

Director Alexander Sokurov (1974)

A real rarity is a harsh monochrome anthem of the Soviet auto industry, with which Alexander Nikolaevich was released from VGIK (“Summer of Maria Voinova” was not accepted for protection, and Sokurov prudently pulled out a documentary removed back in Gorky). There will still be no sokurov style - except for the fact that the documentary of the master already decisively refused to refuse reality. The ascent of the GAZ car at the Calvary of the State Reception (the car is subjected to ruthless tests for strength, the most spectacular-the launch of the frozen engine in a refrigerator at minus 60) was removed in a sharp, dynamic and simultaneous post-pack. Industrial despondency, elements of the photograph, aggressively jumping on the viewer of the gas logo, convulsive installation. Scary, compatriots!

"I declare war" (I Declare War)

Directors Jason Lapier and Robert Wilson (2012)

A note to a public discussion about what and why protect children is spectacular (already in the first minute an eleven-year-old child breaks his peer’s nose) Canadian anvariation on the “lord of flies”. The game is rapidly from under the control here (with two bases, toy rifles and a set of rules)-the rules are broken, orders are not executed, a girl is found in one of the opposing teams (however, more than fighting). Physical injuries are followed by psychological. Lapyr and Wilson, however, are more likely to polemize with the golding than they re -chase him: instead of meaningful hints of the injustice of society, there is general self -doubt here. The film never leaves the limits of the forest -park strip in which the “battle” unfolds - and the authors retain from the intervention of external power: Golding in the final sailed, the adults will not appear here - if only because they would not be able to resolve this conflict. Too infantile.

"Vulgar comedy" (DAI JUK Hei KEK)

Director Ho-Chung Pang (2012)

“If this film causes you emotional disorder, illness, depression and erectile dysfunction, this is not our problem,” warns the author of the Great Apology of Hong Kong Anti-Testabade Laws “Love in Cigarette Smoke” at the beginning of the “vulgar comedy”. His new film is true not for the faint of heart, especially those who have a soul hurt for cinema. According to Panga, there is nothing vulgar (and more comical) of the working weekdays of the film producer. The film is even decorated as a master class of a businesslike shorty with an iPhone in front of a student audience, starting with a comparison of a producer with pubic hair. The following is a long Flashback story about the filming of the alteration of the erotic hit of the 70s “recognition of the concubine” ... This is a caricature, but the caricature is surprisingly silent and even innocent. The tales about Hangstera investors and a forced (from loneliness and stress) romance with a simpleton-old talents that really possessing a pair of oral talents are interspersed with complete piercing sadness with dialogues with a daughter and ex-wife. It turns out everything like in life: such good, pleasant people, but they shoot such shit!

"Hell's child" (Hell Baby)

Directors Robert Ben Garant and Thomas Lennon (2012)

The guarantor and Lennon are known primarily as the scriptwriters of the “Night in the Museum” with Ben Stiller, but this is not a sentence: they cash out fat Hollywood checks to shoot their own television sketches and eccentric indie comedies. In the "Hell of Child", parody not so much dumb modern horror as, for example, a "child of rosemary", this comedian-Duet plays two Vatican exorcists who come to the new Orleans at the Call of the Family couple of Yappy, who dreamed to earn money on the repair and resale of the mansion from the secondary housing stock, but who was shut on the gate into the blood pressure. The last between the legs of a pregnant heroine open. The guarantor and Lennon avoid frank references to specific films, ridicuating the canons of the genre rather, but most importantly, they allow themselves to be absolutely absurd retreats. For example, a life path leading to the profession of an exorcist is described in detail.

"Flicker" (Flicker)

Director Nick Shien (2008)

The insolvent science film about Dream Mashin -a primitive strobe-competing, invented by visitor artist Brian Gaisin back in the 1950s. Easily assembled from improvised components (a 100-watt light bulb, a plate player, a sheet of cardboard with a special perforation) a dream machine, if you sit face to face closed, allows you to cause a stream of bright abstract images. Having made a particularly strong prototype of this magic thing, the authors of the film come to witnesses and eyewitnesses, younger friends of Brian Gaisin and his ally to combat control (or even so - with control), William S. Burrose. Marianna Faithful, Genesis Pi-Ordge (similar to the saleswoman from the milk department), Kenneth Enger (already notorious from Lucifer) sit in front of the rotating grill-how the child sits in front of a jar of jam. In breaks - scraps of chronicle, memories, paintings, videos. Perhaps the viewer will not make a complete and intelligible impression of the underground esoteric stage of the 50-80s, the characters of which inhabit every episode of the film. But he will certainly receive practical instructions for the operation of a quite suitable alternative to any illegal content - he will pass at least according to the department of the state and control, even Roskomnadzor.
