Both artist and govnyuk

Nikita Mikhalkov The devil knows how many years ago, when he studied, he took off the course based on the story of Salinger "And these lips and eyes are green." There, Lev Durov is in love with Margarita Terekhov, and she sleeps with Porokhovshchikov, who Lev Durov has a friend, and Lev Durov, not knowing who a friend is sleeping with, calls Porokhovshchikov, and he, extending the telephone wire just through Margarita Terekhov, is forced to listen to the suffering of Leo Durov. To make it clear that the action takes place in America, a paper hat with the inscription “Vote for Kennedy” is worn on Leo Durov. It is difficult to say why a person needs to put on a pre -election hat to complain to a friend of unhappy love, but then then Soviet students shot a movie about contemporary America, not yet knowing that Nikita Mikhalkov will grow out of them later.

For these features, the exactingness of critics, spectators and the directors themselves to the historical and geographical details has increased many times, and even in Sovietthers the attentive viewer now sees Ikeuy and, on the basis of this Ikea, refuses the creators of the “thaw” in reliability. This film is generally arguing a lot on social networks - they argue, for example, whether in the sixties a simple movie operator could rent an apartment in Moscow or was it possible to take and order a bottle of champagne in a simple Moscow cafe. The predecessor of Valery Todorovsky Pavel Arsenov, who shot the series “Guest from the future” thirty years ago in a similar genre, was such a comic hero - a grandfather from 2084, who explained to the real schoolchild of 1984, that he, of course, was inhabitingly dressed and in fact in the twentieth century, the children were dressed in particular, in particular, wearing sandals. In the “thaw”, by the way, there is a hero in sneakers and on a scooter - Hipster Hipster. Was there hipsters in the sixties in Moscow?

However, it should be assumed that the dispute about sandals and sneakers is not at all what Todorovsky was counting on, shooting the “thaw”, and the quality of the film is such that, commenting on it, it is worth still going towards the director: instead of finding fault, they say, the USSR State Prizes under Khrushchev have not yet been built, and the handsome dialogue of the heroes of Mikhaila was built. Efremov, an elderly director, and Vladimir Gostyukhin, director of Mosfilm; in life, by the way, it was the same person - Ivan Pyryev, if I understand correctly), at least pay attention to the scene when the hero of Yevgeny Tsyganov calls the hero of the hero Alexander Yatsenko, not suspecting that this is first of all, and not Yatsenko, his beloved girl; And so he is gaining a number, and we are breathtaking, because now everything will be revealed-this scene is insanely similar not only to the Mikhalkov course, but also to an episode in a brothel from Twin Peaks, when the heroine Sherilin, dressed in a mask, is about to give his own dad, but then the credits, and in the next episode everything was somehow settled.

When filmmakers shoot films about filmmakers, this is something like the Media heading Kolta, when journalists write about journalists and everyone curses about this. Of course, you can swear, but actually who else can you describe more precisely, if not yourself? When the heroine of Victoria Isakova (she is 33, she did not star for a long time, and the make -up artist, painting her, without a second thought, says: “I must smear the bags under my eyes”), he was trying with the director, in the role of which Todorovsky himself starred, and then says to him from assholes like you, I do not shoot ” - in the word“ masterpiece ”to abuse it, but if it is possible if it is a good thing if it is to do it. masterpiece? Dialogue: "And I did an abortion last week." - "From me?" - Nine words that can finally win Hemingway with his inquisitive children's boots at the ultra -short story. Who wrote a dialogue about abortion, Todorovsky himself? Then he is well done.

“Everything is with him - both shit and artist,” says the director of the studio about the hero of Tsyganov. Govnyuk and the artist with pleasure pronounces conformist monologues (proceeding to the filming of the conditional “Kuban Cossacks”, he explains the young comrade that if you have brain cancer, you can lie down and die, but you can think about “how to make life interesting and bright in these circumstances”-this is not by chance a literal quote from some interviews of Konstantin Ernst?) secretly fights for the salvation of the creative heritage of the suicidal non -conformist Kostya Parshin, who, judging by the content of his last script, was sketched from Gennady Shpalikov (in the hero’s script, the Komsomolets went to the construction, saw how terrible it was, he washed down, and then “climbed onto the highest roof, jumped up, and my brains were very The free, but still retelling of Shpalikov’s last work “The girl Nadia, what do you need”), that is, not really shit in fact. This, by the way, is a brief retelling of not only the storyline, but also the second (in addition to the inaccuracy of the details) the main claim against the “thaw” by critics who are perplexing about how to expect something from the first channel of something but propaganda. Actually, the hero of Tsyganov could also be calmly recorded in the Soviet conformist bastard, but Parshin’s unfortunate bone scenario, with which he rushes throughout the first half of the film and for which he goes to shoot these idiotic “girl and foreman”, that is, the conditional “Kuban Cossacks”. It was with me with the poet Yegor Isaev - I went to interview the Soviet ghoul, who wrote disgusting poems about the struggle for peace and received Leninist prizes for them. I speak with this ghoul and suddenly understand that this ghoul is also the editor of the Soviet Writer publishing house, who everywhere where he could, pushed the collections of anyone then the wrong Nicholas Rubtsov. I look at him again and understand-no, after all, not a ghoul. There were such people in the scoop, and the author of the author “thaw” Peter Todorovsky-actually one of them, because, first of all, his efforts, Gennady Shpalikov, became posthumously famous as a poet, and not just the screenwriter “I walk around Moscow” and “Ilyich’s outposts”.

“It's funny, as in life,” the drunken director Yegor Myachin (Alexander Yatsenko) repeats many times to members of the artistic council, ready to destroy him in advance. It’s funny, as in life, in an episode with the replacement of the operator Lucy Polynina (Yana Sex), just with the “artist and shit” Khrustalev (Tsyganov), I recognized my favorite my own biographical episode when I was left from one edition for a long time, I was already taken to my place of my friend, and we went to work for almost six months, patiently awaiting me, while they finally expelled me; Greet up, chatted about something. No, of course, I respect the modern Russian serial art, but I least thought that in some modern Russian series a scene would be found that can make me reflect seriously, and not, as is usually accepted, distant and ironically. It’s funny, as in life, yes - and this is another reason to watch the “thaw” to the end.
