In Cannes prepare for pogrom.
In Cannes prepare for pogrom.
Sergey SHOLOKHOV, specially for "AiF" from Cannes.
The red ladder UPHOLSTERED with a carpet, obligatory tuxedo on
The men, the most expensive jewelry on women and, at last,
World prime ministers of the most known directors - all is Cannes
Festival. Such image of a film forum was created more than fifty years
Collective effort of journalists of the most different countries. With occurrence
TV Cannes have turned simply in "a rose in a glass
Champagne ". The Film crew of" the Silent house "has joined in this
Process still 10 years ago. For this time much has changed. Most
Appreciable is a quantity of the journalists coming here, that
To see and if will carry to talk to the well-known movie stars and
Directors. If ten years ago them was about thousand, in
This year five times it is more. Because of it for journalists
The festival has turned to absolutely sports action, when
It is necessary to catch up with a star, to charm, bribe, sweep its protection,
Press agents and, at last, to hit the target to deliver pleasure
To the spectators, readers.
Festival very much ierarhichen. It concerns all. Stars of the first
Sizes live in hotel "Dju Kap" which is in a half an hour
Drivings on a yacht from Cannes. In due time we removed there Quentin
Tarantino, Bruce Uillisa, John Travolta. This year there live in
The core "new Russian" and zatesavshijsja among them Shon Connery. I
Saw it there, the Irish coffee which has dozed off behind a cup but to awake
Did not become. I will add, that a film "Trap" which it represents on
Festival, - rare rubbish. Nevertheless a meeting with Connery can
To see spectators of "the Silent house" in our program on ORT.
Stars of average size live in hotels "п п я я п п?п п?", "Karlton",
"Mazhestik". This year to the brightest of them became Klaudia SHiffer,
Which, the truth, does not concern cinema, and enters into the command
"Dreams" of one perfumery company, the official sponsor
Festival. Therefore the unfortunate girl should fulfil
The contract and to rise every day on the Cannes ladder and
To look sometimes very boring films. So by the festival end
It even can have superfluous wrinkles. The poor thing.
In magnificent pavilion there passed also a solemn supper,
Devoted to festival opening to which all has been invited
Festival beau monde. First of all - Nikita Mikhalkov with the
Actors. It did not suit the party, as it
The film was shown in day of opening of festival and it was hard
To combine both events. So Mikhalkov was the same visitor, as
And Klaudia SHiffer, Jeremiah Ajronz or Pierre Rishar.
AMONG journalists too there is a hierarchy. The best
akkreditatsionnaja a card of the journalist - white. In abbreviated form it it is possible
To name "cross-country vehicle". But still it is necessary to serve to it. It give
To journalists of the largest editions, television channels who work in
Cannes more than ten years. And as the primary goal at festival -
Anyway, for TV reporters - to extract it is as much as possible
Interview to stars of the first size, becomes clear, that all
Work in different weight categories.
Because of that that this year is not enough American stars, on those from
Them who all the same has arrived, all rush five thousand
The accredited journalists. Therefore official by to go
Difficult enough, it is necessary to use informal communications.
Let's tell, my friend at whom it is some clubs in Moscow, has a rest
Now on a yacht of the friend directly at a festival palace. And on
To the next yacht on a visit - Tom Hanks, and interview as you understand,
It turns out "in a neighbour's way".
As a rule, all contacts pass on the closed parties, where
Press agents of stars can agree with journalists about interview.
By the way, the desire of actors and actresses is not asked by anybody. Where
Will tell, there the star and goes, that and meets, to whom it is necessary, gives
Interview. Its time does not belong to it. Therefore, maybe, many
From them are in a deranged status. So, it is enough
Cult actor Iven MakGregor who acted in film at Grineueja,
Was on a meeting with us in a sweater rough are viscous, shabby jeans
And a down sleeveless jacket. Thus he was on the last legs,
Rocked, that is characteristic enough for a certain dose
Heroin. Cheerful Ben Affleck who here represents a film
"Dogma", on the contrary, not the fool to drink and especially rejoices, when
You speak with it on sexual subjects. On a question, that he would choose -
Freedom of speech or sex freedom, Ben has said, that in a coffin saw
Freedom of speech, and sex freedom is that is necessary. Its friend, with
Which he acts in a film, Mett Damon (you remember it on
To films "Clear head Johan" or "Rescuing private soldier Rajana") to Cannes not
Has arrived. But son Deparde - William, which wandered on Kruazett
Has acted in half a pornographic film of the cult director
Mio Karaksa "Floor H". Its man's advantages which would condemn
Any commission on morals, show in most
Various foreshortenings. Perhaps, it is last days, when William
Deparde can go along the street without protection. After the hire beginning
This film of the fan will precisely break off its trousers on the souvenir
Shreds.
Our directors Mikhalkov and Sokurov too have brought with themselves
Domestic actors. Journalists from other countries especially not
Annoyed them the attention. Though directors in great demand.
Sokurov has received good enough press that you will not tell about
Mikhalkov. Sokurov in interview to one of the French
Magazines the festival in Cannes semipornographic and a shame has named
For France. It has sounded strongly enough, perhaps, not less
Strongly, than Mikhalkov's political statement for war on the Balkans.
Directors from other countries behave more silently. Probably, addicts
After reception hope for prizes. But it is not over yet. Especially not
Silent evening. So by the end of festival we wait for "cores" - David
Lynch, Peter Grineueja, Jim Jarmusch. And together with the last in
Cannes, as always, there will arrive smart international film bohemia,
Which regularly arranges pogroms in the most expensive hotel "Dju
Kap ", that is near Cannes. Knowing it, there already in advance
Prepare for repair.
