What to look at the Blick festival

Tomorrow, November 14, in the Moscow Cinema "Artistic", the Blick'13: New Cinema of Germany, organized by the Goethe-Institute, begins. Vasily Koretsky draws attention to the three main points of the festival program.

German answer "Cute Francis"

"Simple difficulties of Niko Fisher", director Yan-Ole Gershter

“Simple difficulties of Niko Fisher” are the same portrait of a slightly confused generation as the impressionist monodrama No Baumbach. The same - and another. The hipster monochrome and the jazz soundtrack here look more likely sarcasm than with centers, a modern dance is not only useless, but also frankly funny, and the crisis of youth is rather not an existential problem, but by pedagogical deficiency. The lyrical hero, the unexpected gouging Fisher (incurablely Undateable , like an American Francis), looks at the world by the look of a novice, but not writing a single line of the writer. And the world willingly presents him with all kinds of cases and incidents - stupid, tragicomic, developing in eclectic and dizzying mosaic, which you usually see only in youth, in the case of our hero - a few related.

Postdock about eastern skateboarders

"Here you are not California", director Marten Pisil

Having already traveled a bunch of film festivals and causing a fire-Purist, not such a documentary of Martin Perzil’s documentary tells the story of the last generation that grew up in the GDR through the history of the rollerboard. The biography of the fictional character, the hero of the street skateboarding formation nicknamed Panic, turns out to be the rod on which the “Western” German Perzil is pushing romantic and nostalgic ideas about the Eastern Berlin of the late 80s as German Manchester. Electropop, Break-Dance, microshort, the state cult of large sports, which turned into an anarchist riot of a small and useless sport, a bunch of free time and as the necessary vaccination of dramatism-the subtracting eye and long hands of the Stasi ... Each of these elements that make up the spirit of the time are dedicated to their episodes-archival or stylized as an old 8-mm millimeter. In some places, however, the Perzilian method gives a failure: for example, fragments of the film “Kings of the Dogtown”, which the director inserts into his collage on the rights of a documentary certificate, are recognized at a time, are recognized at a time by any filmman.

Lyric view of RAF

"Who, if not us," director Andres File

Echo of the recent fashion for the biographies of left -wing terrorists, the picture of Fayel is a sad and apparently completing the episode of the reconciliation of Germany with its stormy post -war history. The focus in the film is not in vain shifted from the leading superstars of the combatant scene of the 70s-Baader and Minhof-to the driven and more moderate Gudrun Enslin, the press attache of the “Red Army factions”, responsible for the texts of all their leaflets and manifestos. According to the genre, this is not a political thriller at all, but a melodrama about the misfortunes of creative youth during political shocks. Gudrun marries Bernard Wesper, the beginning of a prose writer and publisher, who manages to print the texts of the Black Panther and the books of his late father, a popular National Socialist writer. As the left movement in the world flares up, the relationship between Gudrun and Bernard begins to crack: the sexual revolution, the struggle of fractions, LSD and financial problems pull spouses in different directions of the left camp. The ardent idealism instructively ends with bunks and a psychiatric hospital, and the author’s position is formulated by a progressive boss of the prison, secretly sympathizing with the prisoners of booos, but acting on the principle of “step back - two steps forward”.

In addition, the festival program is a good, but too psychological drama of Florian Kossen “Song in Me”, not always evenly balancing on the verge of the “Berlin school”, a spectacular mainstream and socially significant cinema (the daughter of repressed during a military dictatorship in Argentina, who completely forgot her childhood, accidentally returns to her homeland and begins to recruit - begins to recruit - begins to recruit - begins to recruit - Catastrophic consequences), a retrospective of the classic of children's cinema rental AGTE, almost unknown in Russia, and the correct drama about Maggie Color Maggie Maggie Peresn.
