Political cinema in Venice entered the forefront

Berlinale bites the elbows - the bridge selects its bread. Almost half of the competitive films in Venice are somehow connected with politics, scandalous historical facts. No matter what genres of the cinema is shot, it strives in simple forms, “on bananas” explain what is happening around us. In fact, it is a hybrid dock or Reenactment cinema -wreck cinema - reconstruction of real events or a staging with actors. Many paintings begin with the titer "At the heart of our history are real events." Further, the director decides which Rama this Rama is to place.

"Adults in the room"

The classic of Costa Garasas (“Dzeta”, “missing”, “Amen”) is taking an inhumanly complex cinematic investigation of the confusing history of Grexit. In the film "Adults in the Room" - fierce negotiations are underway behind closed doors of the International Monetary Fund. Minister Janis Varufakis (Christos Louulis) is trying to convince the Euro -ransomes to reconsider the catastrophic conditions for his country, the program to repay debt in the EU. The Greek government has to maneuver between the pressure of the European Union, requiring even more to reduce salaries, continue mass dismissals, and the impoverished population brought to the region.

“Even if you sell Parthenon, money is still not enough even for debts,” Varufakis sighs.

Garahs shows politics as a dance - the game of gestures, curtsies, unexpected attacks. Culture - referendum. The Greeks decided whether the government should take the fiscal measures proposed by the European Union. However, it is not easy to live to this climax. The film is stomping in one place, and only really interested to understand the problems of the coexistence of European countries remain to the end.

But the Greeks in the final applauded.

"Osinnaya network"

Research with a camera and artists becomes perhaps the main trend of time. The Spy Triller “Osinnaya Network” Olivier Assayasa, who received a prize for the script (“something in the air” in Venice) in 2012, told us the history of Cuban spies from the Osinnaya Networks, created on American territory in the 1990s. Then the Antikastrov groups from Florida attacked and various sorties through the air and by sea in Cuba. The Cuban government responded to the network, sending its people to a terrorist organization. As a result of this espionage war, five Cubans ended up in an American prison on charges of espionage and murder. However, Assayas does not sympathize with any of the warring parties.

For the sake of a fair future, spies and counter -shows do not disdain in the means: explosions in hotels, drugs, weapons.

In the roles of the star - Gael Garcia Bernal, Penelope Cruis, Wagner Muura. The working name of the film "Double Life" explains a lot. The main victims of the uncompromising struggle are close fighters of the invisible front. By the way, for conspiracy, Havana terrorists talk in Miami in Russian. Fools, do not know how many of our people are in Miami.

"Laundry"

Stephen Sodelberg in the "laundry" copes with the most difficult task. Well, is it possible to make a movie on the topic of a multi -volume Panama dossier? In addition, the audience. When it became known about the shooting, everyone decided that it would be about heroic investigations of the International Journalistic Consortium. But no. In the center of this absurd drama, the Law Firm of Mossack Fonseca is one of the world's largest offshore financial services supplier. The work has established itself for decades using mystification, cunning schemes for tax evasion, washing money. And the ability to substitute real activities with tons of paper. And here are the partners - the founders of the “famous” company Jurgen Mossak (Gary Oldman) and Ramon Fonseca (Antonio Banderaz) in elegant tailcoats wander around the territory of human weaknesses and sins.

Charming criminals explain to us, looking directly into the camera how sheer companies and offshore accounts make the richer richer, and the poor - poorer.

Explain on the fingers, more precisely, on bananas. They open the secrets of concealment of billions, figuratively juggle futures and promotions.

But the main character of the film is pensioner Ellen Martin (Meryl Streep), trying to get insurance of the deceased husband. Ellen-a yellow panama, a pink bag, a sophisticated shoes-step by step moves along the trail from one front-line company to another, trying to find responsible for dubious transactions that may be associated with the law firm Panama-City.

With a wide smear, Soderberg writes an absurd comedy about the current world's financial corruption. The game element of the film with wigs and dressing, created by Netflix, does not prevent the curious details about the scandal with Panama documents. But the main thing is to plunge into the drama of ordinary people who suffocate in the tentacles of this planetary conspiracy.

It is known that the Panama documents found in dozens of participants in the corruption scheme. The investigation was attended by the New Gazeta. And our novel Anin received the Pulitzer Prize in the nomination for explanatory journalism, together with 300 journalists from the International Consortium, who investigated the Panama Archive.

"Panama dossier"

Offshore. Opening

The world elite hides its money behind exotic trusts, secret banking accounts and nominal directors - a global investigation of the best publications of the world reveals a curtain over the “shadow financial system” of officials and politicians around the world

The documents of Mossack Fonseca have people from the neighboring circle of our president. But what about Sodaberg, adhering to left -wing views, Russia? However, there are Russians in the film. They buy lakesheuri-indefinitely, paying exclusively cash, promoting the carousel of the corruption system. However, Soderberg is primarily interested in the role of America in many years of financial scams. The film explains that the main scheme of future fraud was invented in Delaware, who became a “tax paradise” for those who wanted to hide income.

Venice applauds Meryl Streep and Stephen Sodelberg, who undertook his film investigation. Laundry self -service continues to work - Must GO money show.

Not everyone will read the newspaper. The reputation of the TV is dropped. But still in the world they love stars. Yes, and how not to believe Meryl Streep, Gary Oldman, Penelope Cruz, Antonio Banderas. It remains to hope for their talent and honesty.
