Magnitnye buri (2003)
Understanding of film
I'd like to say some words to clear an idea of this film. Before I saw it I have seen an interview with Abdrashitov and Mindadze and can say, that my perception was ready to this cleaver movie. Also I saw almost all of the films of Abdrashitov. All of them in my opinion can be called Art-House or at least "movie not for all". "Magnitnie buri" is not an exception. The story can be seen as very simple, noir and so on. But it's a metaphysic story. The people live they simple lives in a small town, but at night they are changing absolutely, so as they would be influenced throw a magnetic storm or an mystic power. They fight with each other like crazy. But in the morning they don't remember that... It can be that the screenplay writer Mindadze has wrote a story about our relationships with our subconscious. Sometimes it could not be controlled... Will be ready the hero of film to take it under the control? See the movie;)
Rosencrantz & Guildenstern Are Dead (1990)
Wonderful movie
It's an absolute wonderful movie. At first I saw it and only after that read a play of Stoppard. The play is absolute super. In my opinion only the author could make it into a movie. And fortunately it's so in this case. The concept of the play and the movie attract me very well. In most movies there are many second plan characters, which have only a little activities. But in real world they would have they own life. Certainly it can be or will be not so absurd, how it shows Stoppard, but why not. This movie can be a model of human life. People are living in frames of they own lives and don't see any events from lives of most other people. But sometimes it can be not only interesting, funny, but important...
