Spanish Bandera

With the release of the film “Fatal Woman”, two hopelessly, seemingly missing figures, returned to us at once. Firstly, de Palma again appeared before us in the usual image of a thriller master. Secondly, the main macho-lover-Antonio Banderas returned. His real name sounds quite funny to us - just a bander. “C” at the end guessed to attach Pedro Almodovar, the first to see a future star in a movie obsessed with a movie. It was in 1982, when Banderas starred in his first film - “Labyrinth of Passion”. Meanwhile, in childhood, Banderas was considered the most powerful football talent in his native Malaga. At the age of 14, Banderas broke his leg, visited the musical “Hair” from boredom and immediately decided to become an actor, for which he entered the school of dramatic art, and a few years later he went to Madrid.

Bandras played the first major role in 1986 in Almodovara Matador. The director turned into the legislator of European cinema, but there was not enough Banderas of Europe. Familiar to the world only as a character from the documentary “In bed with Madonna”, he went to conquer Hollywood. Most national filmmakers in Hollywood disappeared hopelessly. Banderas broke through. In ten years of the Hollywood career, he turned into one of the symbols of modern cinema. His best film was the magnificent “desperate” 1995. After that, he played in the teenage “Sorro mask” and the very infant “children of spies”, even shot a movie - “A Woman without Rules”. The image of a lover was slightly faded. As it turned out, only then, in order to get in with renewed vigor in a “fatal woman”.

Brian de Palma has not shot thrillers since 1996. Now he again does what few people are capable of in the world. “Fatal Woman” is an exemplary example of the film “Noir”, supplemented by fashionable synphilism. The adventurer Laura Ash (supermodel Rebecca Romin-Stamos) makes a robbery right during the opening of the Cannes festival, after which he deftly eludes the accomplices and starts to run. Among the accomplices of Antonio Banderas, the opera Varnier, Sandrin Bonner and Gilles Jacob are the main person in Cannes in episodes.

Ladoga (Augustus, session 21.30) with a civilian. The once -coordinated duet of agents and now resembles a couple of played carpet clowns. The picture does not even save the comic talent of Smith. The feeling is that time has stopped and we are watching the advertising video of the long -awaited sequel, only stretched for an hour and a half.
