The Godra was reviewed

Cannes are probably the only place in France where the secular chronicle replaced the political agenda from the newspaper counters. But only for a while. A terrorist threat, a state of emergency and measures (in addition) safety implicitly interfere with the functionality of the festival. Many hours of lines, shifts in the schedule, the atmosphere of general hysteria - everything suggests that the prescribed on Wednesday to the new government of Macron and Philip is time to get to work, the nation is waiting for changes - especially the filmmakers, as it became clear after the “young Godard” of Michel Khazanavichus.

It is doubtful that this undertaking bless the Godar himself, who has long been living as a hermit in his native Swiss wilderness, because it is difficult to imagine large antipodes than he and the director of the “artist”. No matter how Khazanavichus would like to assure us in his good intentions - to dilute the myth of the nouvelle vague with a humanity of a sentimental bayopic, a completely different cranks come out - an unambiguous revisionist Pasquil on the topic “not for that” fought. The film is based on the memoirs of Ann Vyazemski, the granddaughter of the writer Moriac and the second wife of Godard, pretty offended by the former spouse. In fact, Vyazemsky wrote two books. The first, “difficult year” was sustained in a respectful manner and told the story of a notorious schoolgirl, which Bresson opened the planet of the movie (“Scud, Balthazar”), and Godar - your soul, read - a whole universe. The second, “a year later”, came out in the wake of commercial success and is full of mocking gossip. It was on the sequel that the choice of calculating Khazanavichus fell.

Hoard performed by Louis Garrel appears as an absurd intellectual, in whom everything falls out of his hands - both glasses and a volume of Sartre, a kind of “fellow traveler”, lost in three ideological pines - Marxism, Trotskyism and Maoism. He did not understand student unrest, did not support, he destroyed the living fabric of the cinema, the theoretical logo, women and comrades undeservedly offended. Even if this is true (similar information is contained in the newly published book by Serge Tubian), it is not enough for a full -fledged “portrait in the interior”.

Now about the "interior": according to Khazanavichus, real life - outside the Latin quarter and, especially the "Chinese". “Young Hoard” is a movie about the France that we have lost. France of the French from Song Charles Trenge and Arletti films, destroyed by wise men from Kaye du Cinema and other traitors of the homeland. Perhaps the revision of socialist values, the Algerian campaign, May 1968 ETC. - The most interesting thing is that Khazanavichus is in a hurry to inform the city and the world. Right views in the cinema are a rarity, they usually allow themselves to be Hollywood monsters like Istost and Gibson, but they do this is not more tougher.

About the war in Algeria, equivalent to Emmanuel Macron during the election campaign to the “genocide”, Philip Garrel in the “Lovers for the Day” also recalls. And also in an unexpected way. For the first time, Garrel is trying to look at the tragedy through the eyes of the aggressor, rehabilitate not only Harki (Muslims who fought on the side of the French), but also a colonial policy in principle. Formally, the Freudian melodrama, the “day lover” is clearly inspired by the journalism of Albert Camus and is largely a reasoning about the dilemma of duty and feelings in the existentialist interpretation.

The new film by Ruben Estlund is deeply politicized - “Square”. The genre of chamber psychological drama Estlunda clearly bored, the “square” is a rough social satire, and in some places a set of gags. The story of the curator of contemporary art, promoting its museum projects “Equality and Brotherhood”, and in real life - the intolerable sociopath and racist, is designed to explain to the viewer, like the notorious Scandinavian socialism, imaginary openness of society, Protestant ethics - the same fake as everything else. Including Contemporary ART , supposedly defending the interests and rights of minorities, from autists to Syrian refugees, and in fact - lining the bourgeoisie according to the classical scenario developed by Andre Breton. As an illustration of this shallow observation of “times and morals”, Estlund includes several literally circus numbers in the picture. The performance of the Human Human Human-Gorillas, which is added to the dinner, which is written off from Oleg Kulik, looks especially ridiculous, but in fact, to the drama of the “square”. If the most important of the artists was terror for surrealists, then for Estlund - Pastish, it denounces hypocritical methods of modern art by repeating them.

Perhaps the most integral and strong film of the festival - at least in the competition (the program “Special View”) - the “Western” of Valesbach, representatives of the “Berlin school”, shown on the second day, remains. The Wild West, according to Gryzebach, is located in the east, on the outskirts of Europe - in the Bulgarian outback. The German brigade is erecting some irrigation structures near the border with Greece, but more likes more from boredom and heat than it works. The local population refers to the Germans wary. Some peasants even remember the events of World War II. The past in this wilderness forgotten by God is part of the fact that has never come. Little has changed since Bulgaria has become part of the European Union. Not socialists, not yet capitalists. The semi -documentary “Western” is pretended by a spontaneous picture, sort of like without a clear dramatic rod. Grisebach first lets the viewer on a false trail, it seems that the clash of civilizations will logically end with “straw dogs”, but the author is faithful to the traditions of “quiet cinema”, the moral conflict is more interesting to her than physical. “Western” is a movie about self -identification in the world without boundaries, in which it is difficult to be not so much a stranger everywhere as it is nowhere.
