Comedy “Oz” stood in opposition to the “plastic” New Cinema – Russian newspaper

Novorussky mass cinema, born in the middle of the well-fed zero when the petty-bourgeois style-glamor became a phenomenon, spawned ugly phenomenon, intellectual damage of which is still to be assessed: talking about the so-called “good movie”. Under kindness in this case refers to another Soviet installation on plastic absence of conflict – in zafotoshoplennom world these pictures good fights with the best, and the happy ending is so inevitable that from this inevitability sick.

The most kondovoj kind of “good movie” Christmas has become a comedy – a genre worldwide izezzhenny, but bad taste on our soil manured he did turned into an anthology of the most despicable cinematic clichés. The majority of domestic films with a broad advertising coming in rent from December 25 to January 2, painting a pandemonium “correct,” “family,” “values” (that’s right – every word in quotes because all these films – the shape and Content – a substitute) that even the saints Endure.

But every action is a reaction, and the emergence of cultural resistance to the commercial machine, riveting soulless films, without regaining consciousness, was inevitable. And the first outstanding result of this Resistance belongs to Vasily Sigarev, whose “Oz” just were released.

About his idea to remove anti- “Firs” Sigarev willingly talked to before last “Kinotavr” – the same one where one of the highlights was his grim picture “live”, in which the ball is ruled by decay, death and despair. Therefore, the ability to create a poisonous statement Sigareva could still suspect, but here as is the ability to make a funny movie – were different opinions. Looking ahead, it should be recognized that the cigar issued advances are not only justified, but also seems to be firmly established in our cinema in a new rank – the most uncompromising and versatile director from the generation that came to the cinema in the last ten years.

It is highly sarcastic, satirical, and in the good evil movie

“Oz”, fortunately, is not exhausted by its opposition to the plastic New Year’s mainstream – you can never know about the existence of the notorious “Eioc” but laugh “Oz.” Like any laughter in Russia, there is, however, revealed to us laughing through her tears. Because cigars depicts the absurdity of our lives, sparing neither irony nor sarcasm or hyperbole sometimes – sometimes overstepping the boundaries of taste, but I have never sinned against the truth. Choosing prostetski scheme – the plot of the film is exhausted by that blonde Lena Shabadinova (wife of director Jan Troyanova) Minor Lyali New Year’s Eve is going to get a job in a night stand in a nearby big city, but can not get there because of all the time happening her meetings with the wonderful characters – he fills it with so many lives, that sometimes it seems that would be enough for two or even three of the film. And then amusing, as in the conventional plan of the director enters the national mentality. Obviously, the “Oz” is conceived as a rehash of “Alice in Wonderland” – like Carroll is the main character gets into an irrational space, which is inhabited by mythological characters. Mythology is based on national archetypes – materyaschayasya woman in curlers, corpulent womanizer and other unmistakably recognizable types. The role of the Queen of Hearts Inna Churikov, Cheshire Cat – Gosha Kutsenko.

The mentality is that this concept has penetrated at least one literary foundation, this time – exclusively domestic. Because “Oz” – it is also a paraphrase of the poem “Moscow – Petushki” canonical product of the inability to get from point A to point B. The picture Sigareva loosely retells the product Yerofeyev, changing accents – the main character in the movie sober as a judge, then like around there seems to be no nepyanogo character (with one exception in the form of a cameo Mayor of Yekaterinburg Yevgeny Roizman). The result, however, is the same – to stall, which at that time played out a farce with the actor Alexander Bashirov (and it’s just a must see), Lena Shabadinovoy get not meant to.

It is highly sarcastic, satirical, and in a good movie Sigareva evil can cause different feelings. Nor can it only one thing – to leave the viewer indifferent. And if the previous film director – the film “Live” – ​​would like to attach the word “scary”, the “Oz” expands the theme of existence in Russia – live here fun and scary.
