Juliet – neat blonde middle-aged, lives in Madrid with an impressive bald art historian and preparing for a joint trip to Portugal. However, plans are confusing accidentally met up on the street girl who, fighting off competition from companies wary freaks, accepted to tell how recently met Juliette daughter with three children. This news makes the heroine fall down from his face, politely send the man to go to hell, to move to a home for sale, and sit down with a cigarette write a letter to her daughter, who has not seen for 12 years.
In recent years, 66-year-old Pedro Almodovar persistently tried to return creative form, shaking himself into the territory races humorous Guignol ( “The Skin I live in”) and bawdy sitcom ( “I’m very excited”). Experiments in this field director critic and the audience accepted graciously, but rather with emotion, with what look to rise briskly making-revolution on the yard the bar grandfather. The premiere of “Juliet” at the Cannes Film Festival and was met already vsamdelishnye ovation – the triumph was a bit blurry except the fact Almodovar surname presence in the scandalous “Panamanian documents»
This, however. , has not prevented critics unanimously mumble praises of the master, who had returned to what had historically does best – a movie about women
«Juliet.” – it really purely women’s history. As with the last truly successful “Return” Almodovar most of the time simply leaves the men outside the narrative: they drop into the frame only to make the characters suffer, that is for further development of the plot. Complacent art, romantic fisherman, episodic suicidal depraved dad – it’s not the people, it is character types, triggers that initiate the next stage of the story. The main thing in it – the ability to love, to forgive, female identity, which occurs, for Almodovar, not through the shiftless men and children through, preferably female. In this view, you can see some simplification, but the director of “All About My Mother” such claims to bring silly and simply boring
How pointless to reproach him for several frontal metaphor. Acquaintance heroine with the future father of her daughter begins to look in the window of the train, and the phrase “This deer is looking for a female».
If the Spanish idol sensitive intellectuals continued in the same vein, it would be good. However, such episodes are one-two and miscalculated, and the rest of the time by copyright handwriting resemble bright wallpaper that heroes Almodovar habitually abused. “Juliet”, despite the seemingly whimsical chronology of the story, it is unusually simple, and most importantly, quiet for Almodovar films. It does not boil too violent passions, no one does not cut, and branded for heroes Spaniard deadly diseases here took the form of a quiet fading in the company of multiple sclerosis. Claims such an approach does not cause: a melodrama about how important love of children and parents – a commodity for which there is always a demand. However, the once violent and uncompromising Almodovar still expect a few more than the talented film posed for the evening TV channel “Russia 1».
«Juliet” movie comes out in cinemas in Russia on 4 August. Tickets are available at Rambler Cashier
