The classic in black glasses.
FILM "Love mood" - the Russian debut
sorokadvuhletnego "classics" Wong Kar-vaja. (Arrival Hong Kong
The genius to Moscow was organised "by Arguments and the facts" and an art house -
Line "Other cinema".) Two years of the hard work, four months
Sleepless nights and - set pervostatejnyh prizes, switching on
Cannes "branches" and the award of the European film academy
(Eks - "Felix"). From the middle the ninetieth avaricious western on a praise
Critics call the Hong Kong director precisely "the Asian
The genius ". He is not afraid"to migrate"from a genre in a genre (from
Gangster drama - to a film about fighting single combats, from "black
Film "- to a romantic melodrama), from an epoch during an epoch (from
"Actual" the ninetieth - in days of the childhood, in
Nostalgic the sixtieth). Is not afraid to be itself - changeable
And a miscellaneous.
- Sun glasses - the integral component of yours
Image. In them you pose for photographers, in them communicate with
Spectators and journalists. Dark glasses is medical
Necessity, way to overcome shyness or a sort of a camouflage,
Which gives the chance to you to peer into the human more steadfastly
Persons?
- Do not search for a dirty trick and secret senses. Points - only points. I
Always their burden in an operating time and simply to them has got used.
Job on the plan.
- To you attribute a phrase: "it is better to deal first class
Gangsters, than with bad bookkeepers ". What did you mean?
- This phrase has a continuation: "Gangsters - people of honour. Even
If they trahnut you at first at least will kiss ". Somehow me
Have asked: whether "There are no at you problems with triads and whether namereny you
To get over to Hollywood? "It was necessary to respond twice negatively. To
Norms of gangsters can be accustomed. And as to
The Hollywood producers, the majority of them - ordinary
Bookkeepers, very ignorant at cinema.
- You are a producer of the films. It was necessary to deal
Mafia?
- Well, gangsters happen different, not all from them zveropodobnye
Bandits. I really should meet them. If
You wish to shoot film - from it not to leave anywhere. All over the world in
Cinema criminal money joins. Both in Asia, and in
To America. And unless at you differently?
- Whether it is easy to be the leader on a set?
- Not simply. I would compare shootings of a film to the long
Travel. The destination is known, but an optimum route
You should find itself. Most it is necessary to reserve tickets,
Most to find suitable hotel. And continually for you wait
Unexpectedness. Similar travel demands many forces. The main thing -
Not to be mistaken in calculations.
- Whether the truth, what you remove without the scenario?
- It not absolutely so. Stsenarnyj the sketch, a general plan of a film,
Certainly, exists. Without it it is impossible to manage. When we
We prepare for shootings of the next scene then we specify details,
In detail we paint it. If shootings are appointed to evening - on
To paper that is written in the morning.
- What director's style to you is closer: personal dictatorship or
Democracy, dialogue with members of creative group?
- All depends on a situation. Certainly, live cooperation with
Actors, the operator, the film editor, confidential relations with
Technicians it is the most preferable to me. But at times
There come the moments when it is necessary to show rigidity. Someone
After all should take responsibility on itself. And then, you want not
You want, it is necessary to become the dictator.
- You were born in Shanghai, since five years live in Hong Kong.
As whom feel itself in bolshej degrees - shanhajtsem or gonkongtsem?
- First of all gonkongtsem, after all the most part of a life I
Has lived here. Though would not began to oppose these cities - at
Them much in common both in the past, and in the present. Both there and there it is strong
The European influence. As to my self-determination... I -
The Chinese who has grown in the big city. All is told by it.
- The east always involved Europeans with riddles and exotic. And
What parts of the world seem to exotic Asia for the inhabitant?
- For me there is no basic difference between the West and
The east. We live during an epoch of rapprochement of cultures. Certainly, differences in
Customs and everyday way continue to exist, but personally me
They interest a little.
- Why heroes of a film "persons became happy together"
Nonconventional sexual orientation?
- In the mid-nineties in Asia there was a set of tapes,
Gays telling about a life. A part from them removed gomofoby, them
Tapes convicted "perverts". Another was done by representatives
Sex minority - these films "pressed on tear" or
Turned to frank narcissism. I simply wanted
To shoot film about love. About love as it is, without everyones
Ideological accents. It was possible to make heroes the man and
The woman, but communication of two men shows paradoxes more visually
Love relations.
Hong Kong - Russia.
- Time in your films that slows down the run flies with
In the express speed...
- Any scenes for me are especially important - it would be desirable
More attentively to peer into details of human emotions and acts.
Other episodes are less essential. And I slip them on
"To fast rewind". What for to trace, for example, travel
The hero from Hong Kong to Singapore if it it is possible domyslit? What for
In details to paint transition from a scene to a scene, if them
Differentiates an assembly joint?
- Separate episodes of your last tapes acted in film in Southern
Korea and Thailand. Whether there is no desire to make a film in Europe, and can
To be, and in Russia?
- I should remove abroad not from acceptable, and from
Economic reasons or because the at home it was impossible
To find suitable nature. So, in "Love mood" under
Hong Kong the sixtieth has been made up Bangkok. The matter is that at
Us almost does not remain old buildings. To shoot a film in Russia? And
Why also is not present?
- To you films of Russian directors are known?
- Certainly. Tarkovsky's pictures. They fill with the special
Romantic mood. In them it is so much nostalgia on the lost
To the native land, on the youth which has left irrevocably... Similar feelings
Russian which I met in the childhood tested.
- Where you met them?
- In Shanghai there were many emigrants. The boy I even was familiar
With one Russian countess. When Mao has started "to twist nuts",
Many of them have moved to Hong Kong.
- Excellent plot for a new film...
Sergey ANASHKIN.
