nominated for “Oscar” “Newest Testament” directed by Jaco Van Dormael (“Mr. Nobody”) has caused a fury among the most nerve believers: to them the very touch of the sacred figures seem offensive. Meanwhile, this Belgian comedy all just continues the tradition of “The Creation” by Jean Effel and “Divine Comedy” in the theater Sergei Obraztsov. Parody figure of God, his divine consort embroider embroidery, his son Jesus Christ, the incarnate garish statue on the chest under the initials JC, and his rebellious daughter Ei – in fact conditional and highly effective method of “estrangement” habitual. It allows in a playful way to revise the most difficult questions of mankind – the meaning of life and the inevitability of death. The only condition – the presence of a sense of humor and the viewer.

So, God – cantankerous unshaven cruel boy – living in the Brussels apartment with a refrigerator, but without entrance doors, tyranny, and his wife with the help of a computer creates the antediluvian world. To start trying to instill in the city streets giraffes, then realizes that without Adam and Eve did. And she went piling absurdyatina fun in the spirit of the “Divine Comedy”, which has long been a popular hit in the USSR. Formed as a result of mankind and God becomes a major distraction: to send to a sandstorm so tornadoes, disease and disaster but look what happens – his favorite pastime. While his daughter smaller, sensible, does not rebel and did not knock out of God trump card of the deck, sending text messages to every human individual, indicating the day and hour of his scheduled death.

Before us are the faces of people, only a carefree hurrying somewhere and suddenly frozen by the terrible news, – and it is a reminder that each of us meted out a certain number of minutes and seconds, many in the audience will make shiver. Before the thought recedes and seems fine in our daily bustle, the price takes off any cool moments, far ahead of foreign exchange rates. These sobering moments of the film, I would constantly twisting everyone who mnitsya that it is eternal. The more that God himself will confirm: that the world is not and will not.
From this moment of humanity in the film changes all his plans yesterday terribly important, but today flown away into the abyss. Each begins to think, how to live the allotted minutes-seconds.

And illiterate homeless will write under the dictation of her latest testament.

Any slozhnosochinennogo parable fantasy soars over life and laugh at the myths – it is important not small things, and thought. Each turn of the plot and every meeting with the characters bear puzzle over it like to think. In this sense, the film inherits the best literary and philosophical traditions of freedom-loving France with its Diderot, Rousseau and Voltaire.

Here involuntarily recall the ladies Russian authorities – and this is the funniest moment “Newest Testament”.
