"Kinotavr": Ai Lelelele!

On the trends and events of the new Russian cinema presented by the Main Film Personal Program

The scene of the author’s cinema has advanced far beyond the limits of the garden ring. And even City, who until recently, was grown with glasses in every second film, moved to the series. And the crew went to the province, to the ocean, to the ends of the world.

The time of action is the near retro: yesterday, which is in Russia a synonym "Always."

And even if this is Moscow, then the geographical point is set by the event itself. As in the "Conference" of Ivan Tverdovsky, telling about the victims of "Nord-Ost". About the fear that was absorbed into the old chairs of the hall on Dubrovka in the same way as in people who survived the terrorist attack.

In the works of many young authors - a special condensed space "not for life." The triumph of a short competition is “ sulfur” of Lana Vladi. About the city of happiness Norilsk, in which sulfur is in the air. Instead of clouds. Inside people. The difference between life and death is erased. How the difference between the investigator and the accused of killing her husband is erased before our eyes. Both of them are victims of a special gray matter, devouring their inhabitants, grabbing them by the throat in the womb of the mothers. Where are the living here, respond! The choice of the jury coincided with the choice of critics. It is natural that another awarded picture, “I love Eve ” Christina Manzhula, is a horror about how an affectionate monster-neft devour people.

In the film “The City Located”, Maria Ignatenko turns the space of a provincial city into a dreammal. Time stops the move. Citizens, bus drivers and pedestrians, sick and doctors in clinics, waiters in cafes and visitors are sleeping. This frozen landscape is the projection of the inner world of the hero who has lost his wife. Water turns into ice, life - into a dream, from which cannot break out if you do not find at least one not sleeping. The cinema was shot in a special experimental way, the director-defendant created such an atmosphere on the site so that the performers, including unprofessional ones, were plunged into the fog of universal sleep, which is trying to fix the camera. According to actor Dmitry Kubasov, the movie was shot outside the usual rules, and the actors forgot that there was shooting.

On the edge of the world, on Chukotka, the hero of the “kitoboy” of Lech lives. To the anadyr five hours get. But there is the Internet, and in a porno-Detroit Barbie is somewhat dizzying pink (Christina Asmus). And the teenager decides to get to the imaginary beloved through the Bering Strait.

In the film by Philip Yuryev, who won the main prize of the author’s days at the Venice Film Festival, an alloy of various genres: this is a romance of growing up, Robinsonada, and an adventurous story.

A rare combination of exotic and versatility, drama and humor. The artistic adult directing and the stunning work of the operator Mikhail Khursevich: Chukchi landscapes, a pearl sky falling in a parachute to the ocean, unforgettable high -speed scenes of whales, a local dance floor. And the open body of a giant whale, which cuts the entire village.

“Masha” is an anastasia fingertips of Anastasia Palchikova about the 90s. Thirteen -year -old Masha - the niece of the local Don Corleone (Maxim Sukhanov), the “daughter of the regiment” - is in love with jazz, sings for days, even in the soul. Surprisingly, the bandits in tracksuits are admiring her passion: "Masha, sing!" They give her stolen cassettes, listen to her naive caverses of jazz hits like Fever, Heaven, Summertime, Your Smile ... Although, of course, they love soles under “I found another!”. The gang is in the sport complex with a recognizable, characteristic of the 90s with furniture, chandeliers, wooden panels.

The whole story is shown by the eyes of a teenager, so “senior comrades with gold chains” are seen by her “romantics of large roads”. She is patronized, pamper, love-and showdowns, shots until some point go on the music of children's life tangented by this event and music.

Yes, the 90s return to the cinema again and again. Last year, the “bull”, a male romance about the “brigade” won at Kinotavr. Also about people living on the principle of “who is alive is right” (both in the “bull” and “Masha” of the near retro fixes the Gleb Filatov camera). But “Masha” is not so much about bandits as about the children of the 90s. The luck of the film is the young heroine of Polina Guhman. Her Masha is a cartoon, red -haired girl, Pinocchio - grimacing, crooking, radiant. He came up with the world around him, in which both the fairy tale about the Snow Queen, and the faithful friend of Treshka (Sergey Double), is a bandit growing up on the final of the “lost by the wind”, and the first love, and initiation into adulthood, and terrible disappointment. For some reason, this whole story is wrapped in a frame of zero, in which the matured Masha (Anna Chipovskaya) in front of the microphone recalls his “life in pink color”, and at the same time straightens with the black past.

The scene of the “Man from Podolsk” is the police station of the Kursk station. The famous play by Dmitry Danilov, which is put throughout Russia, is rethought by director Semen Serzin extravagant. In the Ugarovsky play in the theater.doc there was a subtle psychological game between police officers listening to advanced music reading Sorokin, thinking about the meaning of life - and an accidental person snatched from the passenger traffic. Serzin turned the story into an absurd theater - the cornerstone of our lives. Before showing, the director thanked the country that gives rich material for such tragifars.

Waiting for the train of Podolsk Nikolai (the exact work of Vadim Korolev, the soloist of the OQJAV group) delay the cops. Nothing special, the situation on duty. "Let's go." "For what?" "We will figure it out." At first, in Mentov, life flows according to the rules to date today: you can be “whispering in the meat” in the toilet, add a powder. Pretty soon, the plate with the ordinary district routine begins to seize, and the questions of the “gentlemen of the police” - as they behave called - knock themselves, confuse, amazes. But is Nicholas in the course - is the population of Podolsk and when he received the status of the city? Does Nikolai are aware of the importance of the Black Square and the consonant in John Cage in 4.33? No? But how does he live if he sees nothing while he gets from home to work? Neither sunset nor dawn! Why is his native Podolsk less sweet to him than the shore of the Turkish foreign Amsterdam?

The police station - the territory of Vyazkoy Sur, which is addicting, does not let go. And now, together with “uniforms”, Nikolai plunges into a crazy performance: accelerates the longing of being, singing a variety of diplomas of his small homeland of the Yuao, participates in intricate dances, dissects along with migrant workers and the beautiful “mistress of the police” (Victoria Isakova) the dark waters of Moscow, sings the hymn of Moscow, and neural networks associated with neural networks The anthem of the policeman "Ai Lelelele!".

Educational work with the population on the march. Dear Podolchanin, you must be a patriot of a small homeland! Many immediately remembered “Presenting the victim” - the film of the same producer Natalia Mokritskaya 14 years ago became the filmage of the talented director Kirill Serebrennikov. The paintings are close not only in the genre of black comedy, but also in plastic, expressed aesthetics of the 90s.

The film "Man from Podolsk" was also based on the performance, which was staged by the famous theater director Semyon Serzin at the Volkov Yaroslavl Theater.

To my question, whether they tied this story with today, Natalya Mokritskaya explained: “I am a statesman in their position. I do not like politicized cinema. Although this play with a fig in the pocket. We shot the cinema about perfect police officers, but at the same time monsters. See how the police changed in Moscow. They are cold, rational, gestures. This play is that intelligence, rationality can be terrible. ” Victoria Isakova added: “Magic of cinema is a strong thing. When we played it, it was terribly funny. And from the screen it blows cold. Situationally fun, but genetic fear of the system prevents the system. ”

The show of the film "Has anyone saw my girl?" Angelina Nikonova. In the ranking of the magazine "The Art of Cinema" there were only units. At the same time, many melodrama with bad dialogues about love surrounded by St. Petersburg film critics of the 90s like. The picture was shot according to the sensational alcohol memoir of Karina Dobrothelyskaya. The mass viewer does not care who these people are, they look at another story.

I am embarrassed by the directorial tongue twister and a poorly prescribed story with a pronounced misandria: all men here are either faceless or monstrous. All the main character is unpleasant. For several generations, the author, the Leningrad critic Sergei Dobrothelsky, appears as a drug addict, an alcoholic and an abuser, beaten his beloved woman with his feet.

Unfortunately, the capable actor Alexander Gorchilin does not understand anything about his hero. Pronounces texts about cinema as a student who memorized them. And the perch, talent, vulnerability, fascinity of time, cinema, friends, love - remain behind the scenes. In such a plywood, fixed on itself with addictions, it is difficult to fall in love. Why does a sentimental story about how a successful beauty cannot forget her lover even after his death, to tie real people to biographies. Why show the grave with the surname "Dobrovolsky"?

At a press conference, director Angelina Nikonova spoke of her right “to do anything with the artistic basis”, that “evil useless Facebook posts that will read three cripples are unlikely to be upset”. Her right. Directory is always a choice, a thin, barely noticeable line, and moral scrupulousness seems to have drowned in the River of the Bezhera Time with people like Sergey Dobrothevsky.
