Venice: Russian landing.
Venice: Russian landing.
The VENETIAN film festival of a star like more than Cannes. After all
Channels and palaces - the best scenery, a safe background for any
Suit.
HERE Tom Hanks or Harrison Ford swim up on a gondola to hotel
Excelsior under the raised roar of fans: whether this show? The first
Represents the gangster saga "Damned way", the second plays
The captain of the Soviet submarine "п -19", which together with the
Crew rescues the world from nuclear catastrophe. Here Katrin Deneuve in
Poisonous-green suit and with a huge ring of snake colouring on
Finger excoriates journalists at press conference, and those
Write, that in anger it is even more perfect. The new heroine of the French
Stars in a film "it is close from paradise" (director Toni Marshall) goes on
Appointment to the admirer not somewhere, and on top New York
Skyscraper directly on the eve of events on September, 11th, 2001. Eternally
Young Sofi Loren comes to Venice with son Eduardo Ponti,
To support its new film "Among strangers" where she plays
The artist.
The big Russian film landing has landed in Venice. A film of the Swede
Lukasa Mudissona "Lilja for ever" - history of the girl, a deceit
The gang of souteneurs taken out abroad, - draws in gloomy paints
Both Russia, and Sweden (also risks to offend both that, and another).
To take offence there is nothing only actress Oksana Akinshinoj ("Sisters"
S.Bodrov-ml.): it managed a high-grade and effective role. As
Russian is advertised and put in Germany Sergey
Bodrov-senior a film "Bear kiss". Two our new tapes
Participate in competition on the best director's debut is "Snake"
Alexey Muradova and "the Sky. The plane. The girl" Beliefs Sentry.
Last film - a remake of an old popular picture "Once again about
Love "- it is removed under scenario Renaty Litvinovoj. Julia Vysotskaja together
With husband Andrey Konchalovsky represent a competitive film
"The house of fools". Its action occurs in a mental hospital on border with
The Chechen Republic, the director draws war as total madness.
The frightened personnel has left hospital, and its insane persons
Inhabitants have organised something like the republic.
By data from preliminary press viewing, "the House of fools"
Has liked the journalists accredited in Venice, but what it
Prize-winning chances while to tell difficultly. The matter is that this year
Atmosphere usually "estetskoj" Venice defines sharply
The politized context partly connected with change of a management
Festival. The former director not concordant with a cultural policy
Silvio Berlusconi, has retired, and its place has occupied
The ex-director of the Berlin festival Moritz de Hadeln, the person of the left
Belief.
Old residents of Venice still remember the conflict which has flashed here in 1989
To year when zealous Catholics were up in arms against Martin's film
Scorsese "Last temptation of the Christ". Then ex Dzeffirelli,
Not less glorified director, has in a pointed manner removed from competition
The picture. Now Dzeffirelli has declared, that it is not intended
To participate in festival, "where Iranians compete with Hindus". But
He did not know, how its feelings of the believer will be profaned by display in
Film competition "Sister of Magdalena" Peter Mjullana. Action
Occurs in the Irish monastery, where actually on the lifelong
The conclusion bring girls from poor families and shelters. Here them
Force to work, subject to monstrous mockeries - ostensibly
For correction of defects and expiation of sins. And the sin considers
Almost all. And there is all it not in the Middle Ages, and in 60
Years of the last century, last similar monastery have been closed
Only in 1996. Catholic newspaper L'Avvenire has already accused this
Film in blasting of religious and family foundations.
Other competitive film with actual political implied sense
There was "a Fuhrer eks" German Vinfreda Bonengelja. It shows a way,
Which has resulted a part of youth of the former GDR from aversion
Homebrew socialism to neo-nazism. Two friends tried
To break through a wall to the Western Berlin, and have appeared for prison
Wall where one have made the agent shtazi, another have raped, and
The main thing - so was washed out by brains, that any freedom to them has appeared
It is not necessary any more. To whom from directors good luck will smile, we learn
Only in a week when the jury will announce the decision.
Andrey PLAHOV, specially for "AiF", Venice.
