the Station, the hero of almost all of her films, the train, a singing Gypsy with a child, an old fence suburban cottages. The characters have somewhere to go, because they are waiting for something. Those that getting off the train, go to the cottage for a flaky fence, waiting for the boat. Which they build. Not fun and gain, but to sail. On the Volga, by sea and so to get around the whole of Russia. “Give, Lord, to me you, the path” will sing the ancient chant other young people, but about the same – about indestructibility aspirations.
the Mother of one of the builders of the yacht, Misha Ility, say what surprised her peers of her son. Instead of dreaming about a prestigious job abroad, they will prefer to travel from Moscow to Izhevsk. Because there you can actually change people’s lives. They built a new skate Park, for example.
Fokine – master, to erect monuments to the time in which he lives. In her movies it is possible to look.
I Think Olesya Fokina and Elena Yakovich two of the most mysterious Islands still decaying archipelago documentary. Their fans fit to share, as once the “Sarawak and Okunevo”. I of the fans Fokina, although the movies Yakovich also experiencing considerable interest. But Fokine’s work you love, especially for the air, lilacs, grass, wild flowers, rain, for it seems that tangible – odors and almost tangible to the touch (this time the film is a result of exceptional operation of the operator Sergey Zagorova).
a Documentary sometimes seems akin to journalistic reportage. But he has a different vision, it takes a different focus, and sometimes even refocuses it. And therefore “stuffed” journalistic opinion in the movie Fokina lot of irritating – netretriever, okoliczno. Seems she never wants to be Apple and for some reason shoots “milk” or on the wheel, removes some curves stitches, uncut overgrown grass, downed from the branches the rain cherry blossom. But these irrelevant details and grasping the frame of a huge number of coincidences, just on the battlefield, that seems to be “off the books” and doing her films memorable.
In this film, for example, it has footage of the Eastern struggle, one of those, which give the multi-colored belt and which is fighting the President. It very gently and tactfully, very nice, but really, not yielding to each other, engaged young husband and wife. I have never seen a more interesting image of love and family.
the Heroes she also naturalistica, random convex and typical features. And always incredibly different. Someone who lives in the style of “and I’m going crazy!”, and someone has to do daddy’s girl. However, it soon becomes clear that dad is dead. And the “alternativea” married a psychiatrist.
Since the film is about the young, among his recurring themes – the search for the answer on the actual question of “is there love?”.
the Experience of love – happy, unhappy, newsn��the guide itself, and netpurchase even in misfortune (as the actor Nikita Naidenov), with bitter experience of divorce is one of the main lines of the movie.
the boy, whose name is Arseniy Fokin (probably a relative of a Director) in an interns still age, declares his disbelief in love. He is not alone, but he is the most convincing. He does not believe, because the world is densely testifies to its corruption. And exposes her prices. Well, what can we then love?! Don’t know, maybe the Director of the vulnerability of relationship is inferior to his hero, but the speaker is a special case. We – adult society – in their eyes ruined love. And do not want to answer for it.
the Main through story of the film is the construction of the yacht “Mir-2” (Mir stands for “youth and pleasure”), the descent in the water and the journey along the Volga.
the Journey is will come to nothing – will not absorb liquid and will break. Someone will go to Moscow before the end of the route – you want to come home or something (journalistic nose smells here psychological discord and human inconsistencies, but who would stick to documentary journalistic nose). And remaining on Board, everything is just gradually going to fall from his hands. Local hankering for an inflatable boat, for which travelers will go for bread, “Peace” there will moor remaining in the boat, “the sailor” falls asleep, the yacht will carry, and it will break the mast on the bridge…
– So, we are not ready, will sum up one of the last members of the crew,
transferring his (crew) specific error. But the sound is much wider – not ready to independent swimming can be, not only on the boat, but
at all. To courage ready, to call, to modesty, to the perpendicularity of all logic and styles of the adult world, to the contrary (even the most dangerous – political) and absolute adult responsibility for everything – no.
this movie will suddenly become her Olesya Fokina – please Amnesty to them. This is not ready yet. Smart experts have 20 years talking about the legitimacy and usefulness of a “long childhood”, believing it to be the best insurance against deviant scenarios in life, from the risk to cross the criminal line.
the Juris Podnieks, who is dedicated to the film Fokina (this year marks 33 years since he shot his famous picture of “Easy to be young”), if you remember, the main plot of the film is the same. Insurmountable difference between judges and prosecutors, a right, whatever their targovishe formal, lifeless paragraphs, and stupidity unplanned, somewhere spontaneously escaped the vandalism of young guys (defeated the train, do not know why). And says because Podnieks, who is right and who is wrong. And Fokina says nothing about it. But you can see the gaping difference between those who find it difficult to be young, and those who forgot about it.
Unwillingness to frightening adult world (about�� serious dangers of military service to a depressing banality of the adult world) and nudity in response to it – is the main conflict of the film.
One the hero of her film, on age rather an adult, I am sure that he will not part with the youth that it is not changing, not going away important. This unwillingness to part with youth, with the best in it – the nakedness of the soul in the eyes of the Director is very much justified. According to Fokina, they are entitled to the nudity.
Nude often “not ready” yeah. Accountable, to demand, to change the course of fate, to defend not only his own.
once upon a December days spent with Podnieca in the gaps around the city and sitting in a tiny (5 seats) the cinema where she watched his movies for over Olesya Fokina change of profession. She left a prestigious, popular, successful television “the 12th floor” – if, in fact, TV-Olympus, and – luckily – became involved in documentary filmmaking.
to Make movies with only the passage of time. You see the spring, the cherry blossoms, the rain, the wind, sweeping the petals on asphalt, summer, heat, music from the Windows, the autumn chill protests, the cold the rain the snow finally. But in this movie ends in timelessness. The boy, who decided to join the army, to test himself, comes and sits on the shores of either sea, or river, coniferous trees are evergreen, do not understand, or autumn, or winter, but it is clear that it is not just shore, but the region. Land, country, land, life. And continues the theme of Podnieks, about the fact that young to be hard, inadvertently turning the film Fokina of approval (to young to be hard) to the question “why is so hard to be young?”. As the author of subtle, almost artistic documentaries, actually not sharpens the issues in a journalistic style. But puts them time. Today, few understand that to be young is hard. Why is it hard to be?
My colleague thinks that young can be difficult, because young people do not perceive themselves as part of the world. Rather the world is part of yourself. Hence the boldness, and experimentation (construction of a sailing yacht without a special ability to float on them). But from this point of self-centeredness has to start maturing.
– Understanding that the world around us and we around the world, comes with time, – says a colleague. To this point, Galileo’s young man can come only led the wise astronomer. Then there is a clear understanding of their scale.
his Loyalty, his love (or overcome the dislike) – needs to blend with loyalty to something else. In fact, all becomes themselves, step outside their limits. All currently accomplished so.
In this film, the youth is still within its limits. But looking out. And wise “astronomers”.
I’m sure we’ll see them in new movies Fokina.
