user comments:--------Bremenskiye
Muzykanty is an excellent children's/family animation
story. The characters are universal and endearing, instilling
a sense of diversity (a young man, a rooster, a cat,
a dog and an ass) and cooperation. The story is universal,
playing on a theme of its time: Freedom from rule by
authority; And existentialism.
Artistically drawn. Set
in Victorian Europe (Bremen is in Germany).

user comments:--------Platon
Gromov, a pianist, is travelling by train to a distant
town of Griboedov to visit his father. He gets off to
have lunch during a twenty minute stop at Zastupinsk
railway station. He meets Vera, a waitress, after he
refuses to pay her for the disgusting food he doesn't
even touch and misses his train due to police investigation
of the incident. His passport is then accidentally taken
away from him by Andrei, Vera's fiance, and his money
is stolen as he waits for the next train to Griboedov.
Vera learns that Platon is about to get sentenced and
sent to prison in the Far East for a car accident he
isn't guilty for. During the few days that Platon has
to spend in Zastupinsk he and Vera develop feelings
for each other...

comments:--------Andrey Pavlovich Buzykin,
who makes a living by teaching at an institute and
translating English literature, is cheating on his
wife. Buzykin's main problem is that he's a kind man
with a weak character. The lies he is telling his
wife all the time are inconvincing, but he never has
the courage to tell her the truth. His lover, Alla,
is aware of his family life, but gets offended when,
for example, he cannot meet her so that he doesn't
come home late, or when he doesn't want to go home
in a new jacket she gives him to avoid having to explain
to his wife. Alla and Nina, Andrei's wife, both leave
him, forgive him, and return to him at the same time,
and Andrei continues with this kind of life, full
of suffering and deceit. Finally, both women are so
fed up with his lies that they don't believe him even
when he is telling the truth...

user comments:--------This
film takes place in the 19th century countryside in
Russia. It's a sort of a suspense story, but more of
a tragedy with a beautiful poor country girl and three
men who take interest in her.
It's a very nice adaptation of Chekov's
story. It's strongly atmospheric and needs concentration
to be fully appreciated. If you like a lot of action
you'll probably get bored.
Acting is good and cinematography
is beautiful, and even if the past is captured very
realistically there's also almost a magical feeling
to the whole movie

comments:--------If you're expecting something
"classical", "a la Disney" don't watch
this TV series. It's a really mad version of well known
Poppins saga. Everything is happening somewhere in early
80's (very good design by the way) in a idyllic suburbia
filled with really abnormal people. And Poppins is landing
and making everything even more crazy! She's able too
screen hallucinations, "make dreams come true"
etc. The movie is filled with pop songs, dance numbers
etc. Actually this kind of "children movies"
were quite typical in SU in 80's. Surreal, crazy, filled
with pop songs. |

comments:--------When you visit museum of Sherlock
Holmes in London, Baker St., first thing that you see
on the second floor is a number of pictures of all actors
who ever played Holmes in the movies, and in the middle
of that compilation you can see the biggest photo - the
photo of Vasiliy Livanov.
All world cinematographers (including
British ones) have admitted that Vasiliy Livanov is
the best Sherlock Holmes that ever appeared on screen.
And it is true. There were made several movies about
the adventures of Sherlock Holmes and Dr.Watson for
Russian TV in the late 70-ies and early 80-ies, including
such films as The Meeting, The Hound of the Baskervilles,
Bloody Script and many more (about 10 total number).
Livanov as Sherlock, Vitaliy Solomin as Watson, Rina
Zelenaya as Mrs.Hudson, Borislav Brondukov as Inspector
Lestrade all make these series directed by Igor Maslennikov
an all-time masterpiece. Almost all of actors started
their careers in theaters (Livanov, Solomin and Zelenaya
continued giving performances even after their success
on the big screen) which gave films amazing atmosphere
of reality. The images of old London were carefully
reconstructed in Baltic cities almost untouched by time
which gave movies a lot of similarities with real XIX
century London. All movies (it wouldn't be right to
call them episodes) are set on very high level, and
from the opening unforgettable music score they charm
every viewer. It's
|
|
| very hard to
distinguish the best film of the series, every of them
has something unique. The Hound of the Baskervilles for
example has the greatest number of participating celebrities,
including Nikita Mikhalkov (internationally known for
directing and playing in such movies like An Unfinished
Piece for Mechanical Piano, The Barber of Siberia, Oscar-winning
Burnt by the Sun etc.), Oleg Yankovskiy (Nostalgia by
Tarkovskiy), Evgeniy Steblov and many more. |

user comments:--------This
movie performed a miracle - it captured a mood, an atmosphere
so raw, full, that you are feeling the stuffy summer
air, the slow dusty wind, candy-sweet smell of southern
flowers in a hot small Krimean town. The fact that the
revolution is coming closer makes it eary and subtly
frightening, as if you know that there`s a needle in
someone`s bouquet of camelias.
The acting is done in a
way that you can`t believe it is not documentary, but
film frames are like a picture frames, they airy and
weightlessly capture fading scenes of decadent beauty.
Then the violence comes and awakens the characters,
they are silly,comical and immensely tragic at the same
time.But even the shootings and some real documental
footage don`t brake the atmosphiere, it only changes,
darkens, like before the storm. All of it is symbolically
captured in a scene in the garden, when the operator
is trying to tell Olga that the old life is stale, unjust,
senseless, the rush of wind runs over the park growing
in strength along with the monologue. But she does not
understand him, she thinks he`s just jealous and laughs
in ignorance of the storms to come

user comments:--------One
of the best Nikita Mikhalkov's pictures. A gripping,
rather confusing adventurous plot, fragmentary editing,
mysterious look of heroes - all this became a fresh
breeze in the soviet cinematography of the 70th. The
excellent crew including a big number of greatest russian
actors in the beginning of their career. Beautiful and
piercing main theme by Edward Artemyev thinly transfers
the mood of the movie combining the romanticism of the
70th and the dramatic line of the picture. In 1974 the
movie was sworn by critics. But years went by. And now
it's considered to be the cult one.

comments:--------"Burnt by the Sun"
glides effortlessly, seamlessly though the genres as
it tells of a handful of Russian characters who collectively
constitute a family of sorts with great humor and drama,
poignant and sweetly sentimental moments, and excellence
both technically and artistically. What is more, the
film's story is interesting, unpredictable, and well
told with depth and thoroughly developed characters.
The much which has been
written about the politics of the our time, the Oscar
award and the bravura with which it was accepted,
etc. is much ado about nothing. This is a movie. This
is art and entertainment. And, when taken for what
it is, "Burnt by the Sun" is truly a masterpiece.

comments:--------"The Driver for Vera"
is simply excellent cinematography. The pace and intensity
of this two-hour film is such that you don't notice passage
of time. It's like dozing off and waking up from an intense
dream where for a few seconds you don't know who you are
or where you are. If a regular Hollywood production is
like leisurely afternoon tea with some sweets, this film
is like taking shots of espresso every minute for two
hours. In the first few seconds the movie grabs your attention,
your emotions, your very soul, and holds that grip until
the very finale (in my case, it's been about 24 hours
since I watched the film and I am still under the grip).
The background scenery (Moscow and Sevastopol of the early
1960's) is spectacular and the music is extremely powerful.
In the geopolitical background there is the power struggle
between the figures of the police, the army, and the special
services, a struggle that ensued in the power void after
Stalin's death. Career, ambition, love, sex, power, violence,
birth and death are a devilish mix in the film's shockingly
realistic story line.

A
lot of people believe that I began with the cinema, and then started
to write "absolute music"; it is not true. I began with
writing "absolute music", and then I worked for the cinema
because some directors called to me. I made experiences of arrangements
for the radio, the television, the theatre... Therefore, I became
known and was called for the cinema.For the film The
Mission, Roland Joffé wanted eclectic music...The film story
is true: it happened in the 18th century, in a period, musically,
of a renewal of the instrumental music. This music is brought by
a priest, playing oboe, in South America. He brings not only the
instrumental music, with his oboe, but the rules of the Trento's
council (1), dating from the end of the 16th century. It established
some rules to put some order in the liturgical music, for which
Palestrina (2) is the main responsible.Here are the two roots of
the occidental music, put in the film The Mission: the liturgical
music rules and the instrumental music. A third element added is
the ethnic music, from the Guaranis. more>>>>>>
