Russia at the Venice Film Festival will present a film Konchalovsky – Russian Newspaper

If you arrive in Venice at the end of August, the first thing that amazes: among the innumerable palaces, bridges and canals, you will not find any of the poster, not a poster, not a single mention of the fact that here runs the world’s oldest international film festival. In this city, the crowds of tourists not to film, and even fashion shows superstars can not distract them from the contemplation of such a unique attraction, like Venice. Tickets for the festival, unlike Cannes, available to everyone, but especially the long lines at the box office, I did not see here.

Meanwhile, 71st Mostra (Italian – Exhibition) starts, and the first star of the first film will be held on Wednesday evening on the red carpet. Stars love to come to this romantic city, where they are taken to the cinema halls are not limousines, as in Cannes, and stylish strict boat. For the opening ceremony of the selected “black comedy” Alejandro Gonzalez Inarritu “Bёrdmen or unexpected advantage of ignorance.” It is about the history of a certain actor Riggana Thomson, who was famous in the role of the iconic superhero, but faded and hopes to blossom on Broadway simultaneously rethinking their lives, family relationships and dubious film career. In this role, Michael Keaton (the same ex-Batman); Edward Norton plays the arrogant theatrical premiere, the young comic star Emma Stone – in the role of a daughter and assistant hero. Emmanuel Lubezki shot this operator movies “Tree of Life”, “Children of Men”, “Gravity”. Inarritu is also no stranger to Venice: the competition was his film “21 Grams”, won the Volpi Cup for Best Actor (Sean Penn). In 2007, Iñárritu was a member of the main jury at the Venice festival.

The current main competition jury unusual: the first time in the history of big festivals presidential invited master of music shop – six-time Oscar nominee, winner of the “Golden Globe” Depla composer Alexander, author of soundtracks to such films as “Philomena”, “The King’s Speech,” “Argo” and “Godzilla . ” Will this change the usual system of criteria for the assessment – will soon see.

The festival is going through hard times. Two years ago, he again changed his artistic leader – his highly successful director Marco Muller now heads competing with Mostra Roman festival, and returned to the post of leader Alberto Barbera. Interest in the oldest “kinovystavke” is not so high: an independent arthouse cinema are increasingly disappointing his fans and almost never sold at the height of the Venice Mostra press in droves flies on a much larger and more multi-genre festival in Toronto – there, by the way, will fly and the most significant films of Venice. Around the world cinema noticeable these trends: market success is more important than artistic achievement, the festival as a supermarket commercially effective party refined connoisseurs. Considering them, Barbera first thing established in Venice Film Market your first modest, but in the past year, he became more active, a quarter of increasing the number of participants.

On the fate of the Mostra impact is the lack of modern infrastructure: Mussolini’s “bunker” long outdated morally and technically, movies decades twist in the halls, makeshift. Construction was begun elegant Palais des Festivals stuck at the stage of excavation, once under the soil deposits were found asbestos – and glamorous company three years in a row sparkling diamonds at an abandoned construction site. Now Mostra rallied and made a dash instead of the frozen construction of a new palace started in the reconstruction of the old, incorporating the hall and flimsy “DARS” where the movie looks press, expanding and equipping it with the latest technology. As promised Biennale president Paolo Baratta, upon completion of the project capacity festival halls will increase to more than five thousand people.

elegiac note sounded in the words of doom Mostra director Alberto Barbera when money rules the arts, festivals are the last place not yet dominated by suffocating logic of profit. They provide not just a slice of reality, but also the opportunity to see her in a new light, to perceive the invisible and scout alternative routes. Barber still hopes that the temple arts resist the pressure of traders already flooded the entire area.

Spectacular, but not as tasty as the next occurrence of the Trinity Minaj Grande Jessie Jay. However, girls performed the track Bang Bang, which ended to loud applause – either by what he heard, whether from Nicky dresses.

Performance starts Usher led me to thoughts about Kanye West: white outfit, a strange choreography of nowhere aggression to the sounds of EDM and pop music. But in the next moment, all is in order: extra light came on, and the audience crowd of dancers, music team, microphone stand and plays the melody She Gave It to Me. The girls on the show top class dancer, on the outskirts heard Nicki Minaj, which seems to have sung all over the evening, well, poor Miley Cyrus still continues quietly envy aside.

“Doctor Who: Take a deep breath”: New Doctor – new rules ***** – intermedia.ru

The first series of new, eighth season of the British television series “Doctor Who” was broadcast on cinema screens 23 February 2014. The main roles are played by Peter Capaldi, Jenna Coleman. The director of the episode – Ben Wheatley, writer – Steven Moffat.

This is not the first time the Doctor show in Russia on the big screen: the audience can remember a special edition of “Doctor Day” dedicated to the 50th anniversary of the show. “Doctor Who” – this is the longest-running sci-fi TV series in the world, which is deservedly become a cult, and even in the UK has become an integral part of the culture.

For those unfamiliar with the series, you must immediately explain a little: Doctor – member of the race of Time Lords, he travels with the help of his time machine (TARDIS), which looks like a blue police box. He explores the era, often gets into trouble and makes the entire planet. Among its other features – the property to regenerate when receiving serious injuries. Regeneration allows you to find a new body, and with it – a new character, habits, distinctive features. At this stage of degeneration just ended last season with Matt Smith as the Eleventh Doctor. Twelfth, only appeared before the closing credits, could say only that he could not remember how to operate the TARDIS.

Each regeneration remembered viewer its own characteristics – this is the moment on which sontaranets Straks will laugh the first ten minutes of the series. He relish criticize the Fourth Doctor scarf, chin Eleventh growth of the Seventh, Ninth ears and many other details. Scene is shot exclusively based on the fans, and assumes no sense, but it worked out: cries of joy and applause in the hall almost did not stop until the long-awaited release of Peter Capaldi.

If you try to characterize a series of short, it is best to will approach “grim”, although there is a lot of jokes. Heroes of land in Victorian England, where the streets dinosaurs roamed, and people mysteriously spontaneously ignited. Investigate a series of murders leads to robots for many years abducting people for the sake of … Yes, Steven Moffat clearly matured during the filming of the first seasons of “Sherlock.” Their abilities on the part of weaving intrigue he disclosed in the “Doctor” in full.

The series has completely changed the face once again. Even the opening credits screen update. Instead bored with wormhole, which was flying the TARDIS before the audience is now waiting for something quite amazing, psychedelic and largely stimpankovskoe. The car also received a new time internal decoration.

But, of course, most fans wanted to know what would be the new Doctor played by Peter Capaldi. For each of the previous main characters had their piece. For example, the Tenth Doctor, played by David Tennant, was capable of great feelings, romance, empathy and sincere kindness. Its dramatic actor playing easily squeezed out of the viewer’s sentimental tear. Eleventh Doctor by Matt Smith was seemingly completely carefree, kind and slightly insane – how may it should be time traveler, exchanging the first thousand years. As already mentioned above, the episode “The Doctor’s Day” both characters have met their key differences emerged clearly. If fans of Matt Smith in this series experienced from ecstasy, then David Tennant fans were not so categorical: many noted that for the sake of the story was brought to the charisma of the actor, his acting ability, that the image of the Tenth Doctor was not revealed until the end.

On the basis of only one series is difficult to draw any unambiguous and far-reaching conclusions, but it is now safe to say that the dramatic potential of the new season will be fully realized. The new face of Doctors do not accidentally look old, gray-haired and wrinkled. That being said Madame Vastra, a kind of removal of the veil, the failure covers: Doctor no longer young, he will do without boast youthful follies and even his suit now – stylish but austere, without unnecessary details. The very character looks more responsible, serious. He did not just preach the ideas of humanism, as previous incarnations, but he seriously thinks about actions, trying to understand their value. At the same time, the new doctor is not shy afraid to be surprised and to reflect (a large part of the series – trying to understand themselves and to understand why regeneration fell just such a person). From the first frame clear: the owner of such harsh curved eyebrows, as Peter Capaldi, lurking in the cupboards many skeletons and secrets.

Obviously, the disclosure of these secrets and solving internal conflicts will be devoted to a whole new season. However, regardless of how in fact will be the new Doctor, now there is no doubt: Peter Capaldi easily be able to earn the love of the audience a new role.

Jeff Bridges: “Of course, you want to achieve success with fans of the book ‘- Yahoo! Movies

In rolling out the picture «Dedicated» – film adaptation of teen dystopia Lois Lowry’s “The Giver» , which was published in 1993. First read the novel about 20 years ago, actor Jeff Bridges became interested in this story. In the tape Phillip Noyce he acted not only as an actor who played the giver, but also as a producer. We talked to the darling brothers Cohen and Terry Gilliam on the appeal of the plot, working with young partners, and that is important for any film adaptation.

 
My father and familiarity with the book

 I was looking for material to remove his father – Lloyd Bridges. Also, I wanted to do something that could see my children. By studying the catalog of children’s books, I saw a wonderful cover of the gray-haired elderly man and said: «Oh, yes, my father could play this guy» . So I read the “Giver” and fell in love with this story. I assumed it was just a children’s book, but, God, it’s so cool to think of what I said: «It’s a terrific story to involve my father» . And we have some time to work on it. We took off in the garage video that I directed, his father played the Giver, and my sister’s son Marcel played the role of Jonas. And we took the whole story.

 
About authorizing

 This small stores all knowledge of the past. In “The Giver” tells about how people have done away with the memories and history, and then created a society of monotony. Realizing the importance of memory, they did not want to repeat the mistakes of the past, so all the memories were imprisoned in one man to guard them. And this is the Giver. It can be called the history of the receiver.

 
About Jonas

 Jonas – receiving memories on learning, and it’s my job as the Giver to give him all the knowledge that I have kept. Not only to educate the memoirs, but also make some important books to read.

 
About Taylor Swift

 It was very cool to play with Taylor Swift. Sometimes we sat down and played music for the piano, and in between takes is a little time for musical improvisation. I was not familiar with her music as well as it could, but working with Taylor forced me to go out and buy her album Red – and I really liked it. My daughter is a big fan of Jesse Taylor, it gives me to hear things like this.

 In the first minute, as Taylor Swift came into the room, I realized how much she is artistic. She is an actress at heart, a creative person, born for this. Between music and cinema world have much in common, you’re working with other artists on a common cause. And she effortlessly copes with it, trying his hand in different directions. And she has a talent that she uses to express themselves in a new field. I think it will be a great actress. I can not wait to see what she had come up with.

 
About Brenton Thwaites and Oday Rush

 When you work with such a wonderful young actor like Brenton, then, I’m trying to do for him as much as possible. Same with Oday Rush, who played his love interest. Amazing young actress. I remember seeing her during the casting – and I was just struck her first appearance.

 Brenton did a good job on the way Jonas. He was very excited. I think it’s one of those things that draws the attention of Lois. The point is not to believe everything that is described in the book, and to be inspired by it. I happened to mention Lois Lowry, author of the book. It was great that she was present at the project. Source has always been with us. And it was easy to ask: What do you think about this, Lois? It betrayed our confidence.

 
About Phillip Noyce

 I think a film is 99% dependent on the casting. Not only from selected artists, but also the entire group. And the main guy in this team – director. We are fortunate that Phillip was our leader. He has an amazing attitude to work, it’s absolute workaholic. He uses his own creativity and encourages everyone else to take part in an amazing journey. One of its main features – an interest in what she thinks every artist. In Noyce had an opinion, which led us, but he also wanted to know what kind of thoughts do you have and how they can be useful to the project.

 
On the complexity of adaptations

 When you’re dealing with fantasy or mythological history, it is very important to choose the correct intonation make fantastic pieces are also very real. Then, of course, you want to achieve success with fans of the book who adore her. This is what I fought for the entire 18-year journey, wanting to be true to the book. Finally, I had to give up some of their ideas and opinions about the story – and the audience to do the same.

 
On creation myth

 I had the feeling, do not leave during the work on the project, we are creating a new myth. There was a feeling that we are all open, the story must be told through us. She undergoes a metamorphosis in a variety of ways – and it’s very exciting. I remember one of the first indications that Phillip gave the whole gang during a joint dinner: now we are all together in this adventure, we should have a soft front and strong rear. He created an environment in which one was open and receptive to ideas, although it was hard work that had to be done. And we tackled it together.
