Almost a year since the world premiere at the Toronto Film Festival film “Stringer” finally reached the Russian hire. At the time the movie has deservedly received a nomination for “Oscar” for best original screenplay. And that is why academics have ignored excellent actor playing Jake Gyllenhaal, is very difficult to understand.

Young manipulative sociopath Louis Bloom looking for work and can not find it. Potential employers Lou listen to his ingratiating speech (“people at the top, like you, sir, because there simply is not found themselves”) with obvious disbelief and disapproval. Desperate hero changes stolen bike on the camera and intercepting talks and becomes a stringer.
Note to those who are not too familiar with the journalistic terminology: stringer (from Eng. String – string, string) – freelance reporter engaged delivery footage news channels. On the other hand, “Stringer – a professional who can do absolutely any job and receives a decent money.” So I said the deceased at the age of 49 years Eduard Jafarov, reported from Afghanistan, Palestine, Gaza, Iraq and other martial fields of the planet. So eventually become a professional hero Gyllenhaal ready for virtually all quality “pictures”. By quality, however, in his case it meant somewhat different. “If it bleeds, it leads” (“More blood – more money”) – explains Lou character Bill Paxton.
The ideological attacks to the “heartless” and “unscrupulous” TV reporters – this, of course, already too familiar story to enthrall the audience average in 2015. Situation brilliant saves scenario gifted Dan Gilroy (“Real Steel,” “The Bourne Legacy”), for which the “Stringer” was also the first experience in the director’s chair – and very successful, considering the nomination for “Oscar” and “Golden Globe” for the best screenplay and actor respectively. For debutant Gilroy very confident operates material masters strong (if somewhat archaic) ideological cinema feeling fine mood and coordinating captivating story lines.

“stringer” – this is not a literal translation of the title of the film, and the adaptation of domestic distributors. In the original movie called Nightcrawler, that our language can sootvetstovat phrase “night worm.” Louis Bloom “hunt” only at night, cutting the night on a red Dodge Challenger with a camera at the ready. In his slender of acquired Gyllenhaal that dropped almost fifteen kilograms for the role, really shows some similarities with the worm, but also appears to be very similar to an owl – because of the wide-open eyes, wildly staring eyes, which he brings great horror and a stranglehold takes the viewer behind soul.
Movie sneaks to shiver and its ambience echoing night crossings, which flows ethereal guitar music by James Newton Howard and flickering neon signs, taken by Robert Elsvitom the most mysterious angle. Both are known to be great experts in their field – Elsvit shot eight years ago “Oil” Paul Thomas Anderson and has received “Oscar” for cinematography, and Howard is likely to be a sign on the soundtrack to the viewer “Hungry Games” and “The Dark Knight “.
Stylistically” stringer “- the neo-noir genre – a psychological thriller and, to some extent, a black comedy. Perhaps, this is connected with a slight interruption in the perception of the painting manifests itself near the end. Cinema firmly holds the bar and never degraded to self-parody, but it cut in “epilogue” sarcastic tone may seem a little vulgar in comparison with dramatic fervor preceding events.
We can not accuse the founders of some sketchy in the image characters and, at the same time, can not praise for how clearly and intelligibly presented characters. Cinema is very precisely and succinctly captures though not newly formed (congruent with the image of Louis Bloom characters could meet and forty years ago in “Taxi Driver” by Martin Scorsese, and twenty-five – in “Henry: Portrait of a Serial Killer”), but rather actual psycho grip highly adaptive sociopath, which can be regarded as a “hero of our time” – outstanding single-minded personality, to achieve major success almost from scratch. That is why, perhaps, the film ends abnormally so well for the protagonist. After all, in a society of double standards possibly more.

From Travis Bickle skorsezevskogo Bloom adopts fascist (or “quasi-fascist” – the characterization film critic Robin Wood’s) beliefs, but, unlike Bickle, clearly represents your goals and opportunities and, perhaps, a little more adventurous when something starts to go according to plan. On the initiative repeatedly told Lou and his partner Rick (Riz Ahmed) – trite, stereotyped phrases culled from online resources, communicate with staff training. Dramatic monologues Louis always sterile and maloemotsionalny: even when a character does something like a declaration of love, his speech and facial expressions impassive look unhealthy. You have to wonder what it’s like erotic experiences of this strange guy with destructive aspirations and inclinations explicit voyeur – not to mention the fact that the “confession” he was doing sixty women.
However, the main voyeur film becomes viewership TV – lots of people left the director behind the scenes. We hear about some ratings, leading to the screen informs the void lens that “video contains scenes that may shock,” but we never see himself looking, consumer-screen “bait.” Most likely, it there on consumer society. And what it consumes – products expensive brands or television “shock-content” – authors of a film is not worried in the first place.
