AIR CREW (Alexander Mitta)

REGIÓN: 0 - - IDIOMA: RUSO - - SUBTÍTULOS: INGLÉS -- - P.V.P: 9,95 €

This movie should not be viewed and advertised as simply another disaster flick. This is a story of several soviet pilots, their lives, families, relationships. The movie is an excellent reflection of a life of soviet middle class in the late 70s. All main characters are developed with brilliancy and depth. Story of pilot's divorce and later relations with estranged son is especially touching. The "disaster" part culminates the movie, showing main characters' behavior in extreme situation. It was surprisingly well made for that time (1979) and place. The crew flies to the rescue of soviet citizens in some remote part of the world after soviet-build refinery plant is hard hit by an earthquake and following fires and floods. Crew manages to bring the plane safely back home, despite mechanical damage and severe weather conditions.

ANNA KARENINA (Aleksandr Zarkhy)

REGIÓN: 0 - - IDIOMA: RUSO - - SUBTÍTULOS: INGLÉS -- - P.V.P: 9,95 €

This movie was done well. The filming was beautiful and Tolstoy's novel (in so far as it is possible) was presented in a good light. The only spot that marred an otherwise-good film was the performance of the leading actress, Samoilova, playing Anna Karenina herself. So inept, clumsy,, irritatingly false and unconvincing was her performance that my single greatest sentiment throughout the film was: "Come on! Throw yourself on the train-tracks and get it over with!" Sadly, for over two hours my prayers went unanswered. A positive note, however, was struck by the stunning performance of the former legendary ballerina, Maya Plisetskaya in her role as the social lioness, Princess Betsy Tverskaya. Vasilij Lanovoj (memorable as Shervinsky, in 'Dni Turbinykh) was also a pleasure to watch as he made the most out of the relatively small role of Vronsky. In short: This would be a higher-than-average film, but for the tragically poor performance of the single actress that was under particular obligation to play well.

THE DIAMOND ARM (Leonid Gaidai)

REGIÓN: 0 - - IDIOMA: RUSO - - SUBTÍTULOS: INGLÉS -- - P.V.P: 9,95 €

This movie was never intended for foreign audiences. It is simply way too Russian (or too Soviet, actually) to be funny for anyone not familiar with the realities of local life. Most of the real comedy comes from Mironov and Papanov, who play hilarious villains on the track to recover stolen jewels, mistakenly put into Nikulin's arm cast. Russian-speaking audiences will enjoy Papanov's one-of-a-kind "Ukrainian" accent, but the jokes are too ethnic for anyone else to understand. Nikulin (a circus clown turned great comic actor) isn't particularly believable in an unfamiliar role of a good guy (his characters usually also were drunken and hilarious crooks), but turns in an adequate performance. Mironov is at his usual fast-talking, silly self, and Papanov is a riot. Mordyukova steals several scenes in a small role of a house superintendant, a towering woman with a thunderous voice. Overall, a terrific Soviet comedy, the kind they simply don't make anymore.

 

 

LEOS CARAX TRILOGY: BOY MEETS GIRL (1984) + MAUVAIS SANG (1986)+ AMANTS DU PONT- NEUF (1991) 2 Dvds

REGIÓN: 0 - - IDIOMA: FRANCÉS - - SUBTÍTULOS:- - INGLÉS P.V.P: 15,95 €

'Boy Meets Girl ' was Leos Carax's first movie, and is remarkably mature for a first film!! Leos went on to tell a similar story in his next films. One of the great things about this film is that it reminds me of the glory days of the French New Wave, because it's fresh and has a new way of telling us something we may have heard before.The best thing is that the film has several great visual sequences that prove Carax has the ability to express things visually that alot of directors could only accomplish by using words. It's hard to track this one down, but if you get a chance make sure you see it. Then see the rest of Leos Carax's movies, one of the most visionary directors at work in the contemporary film scene.

Mauvais Sang: This is the best film in Love trilogy of Leos Carax. Leos Carax said he is always interested in Greek mythology. He successfully showed that Greek mythology in this film through a main character, Denis Lavant. He has the Oedipus complex about his father, but his father are killed by someone. And, father's friend looks for Alex to get a help for a crime. Also, he is falling in love with a mystery woman. However, she loves father's friend. Thus, he has the Oedipus complex about father's friend again even though his father died. And, he commits a crime with father's friend. This film shows fantastic images and perfect performance by Juliette Binoche, Denis Lavant and Michel Piccoli. The ending scene is unforgettable.Boy Meets Girl ' was Leos Carax's first movie, and is remarkably mature for a first film!! Leos went on to tell a similar story in his next films.

Amants du Pont-Neuf: The final film of the Leos Carax trilogy, following Boy Meets Girl and Mauvais Sang. Here is what the art of film making is all about. The story of the doomed lovers who make their home on the Pont Neuf bridge, and who manage to find some sort of escape from their dark realities in each others company, is unforgettable. Denis Lavant, who appears in all three of the Carax trilogy, is great in his portrayal of Alex, the homeless street performer who falls hopelessly in love with a woman, who appears out of nowhere, to search for a place to sleep, and to hide from her own cruel reality. A painter, losing her vision, but still sketching all that she sees at a frenzied pace, as she knows that she soon will be no longer able to see. The film is so over-the-top romantic, as only French films can be. I had to write something here as a reaction to the bad reviews some gave this wonderful film. It actually saddens me that some people just can't see the magic here, and choose instead to take the film apart by challenging "the logic" of certain scenes and parts of the storyline. Searching for logic and plot holes in a film like this is so utterly ridiculous. Those people should stick to the Hollywood productions, and not even be allowed the privilege of seeing films like this one! Personally I don't go for romantic films, as they usually seem so contrived and phony. But "Amants du Pont-neuf" is such a strong film, and so utterly unique. This is an absolute classic of French cinema, and anyone who has a true appreciation and love for film should not miss this one.
