How to deceive fate

The theme of lies unexpectedly became through in the films of the Russian program. We continue to talk about Russian premieres of the MMKF

* “Liar” by Julia Trofimova (“Sasha Country”, producer Katerina Mikhailova)

Based on the novel of the Israeli writer, Izhelet Gundar-Goshen, who became a bestseller. Partly because it is written based on real events. About the girl who accused the pop ex-star Avishe Milner of trying to rape. It turned out that her testimony was unfounded. But the public of the public, the media was already launched.

Seventeen -year -old Eva (Elizaveta Tishchenko) works, sells ice cream in a cafe. They look at ice cream, no. The girl, strictly speaking, is completely deprived of attention. In her life - nothing interesting. He feels himself as a Cinderella on someone else's ball. Complexes because of freckles, unattractiveness. He reminds of himself a familiar young man, but he does not remember her or does not want to remember. And here is the same singer in a bad mood that requires something-hammet. She is in tears and run. He is behind her. Here is the crowd. So there is a legend that Eve is a victim. Of course, violence.

The first conversation with the investigator, the muddy, Marina (grotesque role of Maryana Spivak)-is a witty, explaining a lot in the psychological lining of such stories: “Is there something? .. Exactly that? .. I heard you ... well done. You are brave. " She does not need answers. The protocol is ready in her head. And the verdict. Moreover, who does not know that all celebrities are perverts. And all men are “sucker”.

So this snowball begins to roll. Rumors turn into the covers of magazines, a show on television. Eve - from the usual it became special. From the ugly - a princess whom the boutique gives a dress. Local jeanium d'Arc, not afraid to admit, to declare openly about a socially significant problem - an attempt to violence. She is so accustomed to the role that she already begins to believe. And she also has a cheap-and-friend Lev Lavrov, who also descends a little, that he saved her ... from the rapist. And only grandfather in the portrait (our colleague is critic and actor Petr Chernyaev, unfortunately, did not live to the premiere) is dissatisfied and calls a maneuja.

So a small lie grows to the size of a large city. And the singer accused of all mortal sins threatens a long term, and his life is destroyed.

The "liar" nevertheless is not a social drama, but a melancholic comedy. At times, in the desire to please the viewer, the humor is excessively pedal. But to laugh when the prosecutor promises an innocent artist for ten years, and the investigator Marina wishes the blood of every man in whom he sees a rapist, today somehow does not really want to.

But the film was conceived for a long time. But the romantic line of the young heroes of Eve and its “rescuer” in the spirit of the “Lacaric Pizza” is organic, gentle, played easily and without falsehood. And these relations become the main antidote from a lie, from which Eve cannot get out.

Elizaveta Ishchenko in the title role is a sniper choice. In her cute ticheis heroine there is hidden energy, devils in a quiet whirlpool, hidden beauty and individuality in deceptive and unattractive grayness, and also a teenage riot of a “good girl”. Dmitry Kulichkov in the role of dad, without interruption from football on Telik, preparing special forces from his son, knocking out of him, so to speak, a “rag” with push -ups and runs.

It is curious that during the filming of the film there were court hearings in the case of Kevin Spacey, a Hollywood star, accused of obscene behavior under nine points. The industry hastily “canceled” him, but the court and the jury recognized him innocent.

"Seven Black Papers" Anatoly Kolieva

“Seven Black Papers” is a military drama inspired by the poetic story of the South Ossetian writer Mikhail Bulkata and the personal family story of the director of the Department of Anatoly Koliev.

Highland Cinema from North Ossetia.

1942. There were no men left in the village, hidden in the mountains next to the stormy river of Saukab. Only women and children who expect news from the front with fear. The member boy rises in a village with a heavy burden in a black chirza bag-another funeral. So, again the crying and the cry of women will pick up a mountain echo. Gontsov with bad news in the old days was killed. But the comrades of the postman, the brothers, SLCHR and Dzambol, come up with a way out. You can hide the "black papers" until the end of the war in a small cave of single -eyed giants. They are hiding a cow there and a cow. So they try to deceive grief. And then the time will put everything in places.

Here, high in the mountains, people crushed by lawlessness are still freer than there on Earth. Although here they write denunciations. And the lame commissar gets here, scares: the Soviet regime has long hands.

He will get everyone, find a counter -revolutionary hydra among the remaining women.

An unstable slide made of stones in one of the first frames is the personification of the unsteady stamina of life during a deadly war. Clouds lie on the pillows of the snow mountains. The war also hangs with a cloud over half -starved days, war in the eyes of the Mother of Heroes. They talk about fascist invaders from the reproducer.

Many picturesque, decorative views of the mountains, rural life. A lot of legends and beliefs of disheveled grandfather Kuji about the brave and too proud people - Narts.

But with all the flaws and some deliberation and picture in Koliyev’s debut film, there is sincerity, and hidden beauty, and the philosophy of the life of a non -enabled war, as in the bitter poetry of Bulkata. Communication with folklore and mythology. For example, with the myth of Sisyphus, who deceived death and stuck in a chain of Tanatos. Or from a stringing string, Fandir’s music - crying someone who does not know how to cry (according to legend, the strings of Fandyra - the veins of the dead children). Or with the "Saturn (Kronos), devouring his son" Francisco Goya, the reproduction of which we will see, reading the obvious metaphor: Saturn, devouring children, is the war itself. And only the mother tries to protect her sons from an insatiable Kronos. And the boys hide the triangles of death in the rocks, making an unobvious moral choice. There is also a prayer for peace around the world. But it will sound on a holiday. And not everyone will hear her.

• The film will be released on the screens on May 9.
