<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">I stumbled upon this one while mindlessly surfing the internet, to be honest. Until now I don't know where exactly it was mentioned, but lazy Saturdays do that to people - they make them hunt for new TV series. Especially if you are me. I can be introverted <strike>as fuck </strike>sometimes, so...</span></h3>
<h3>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"></span></h3>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Anyway, I can't recall a case when BBC drama would disappoint me (most likely never), therefore I usually get <strike>my favourite marzipan bars and hop under duvet </strike>my hopes high.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><b>Thirteen</b> might come as a <i><span class="st" data-hveid="59">cliché</span></i>, if you read the synopsis first, or watch a trailer, safe as they call it. However, I was taught by the years of experience that appearances are deceitful, and film/series synopsis is not enough to reach the verdict. <br /><br />Here we have a girl who had been kidnapped 13 years ago which leaves us with 26-year old woman, escaping her prison under mysterious circumstances. The abductor is, naturally, still on the loose, yet this is not the biggest problem she is about to face. The world has changed, as well as her peers, and even family. As the story unfolds, you get the impression that her perverted abductor is in fact the closest she got to having human relationships during these last 13 years. <i><b>Will she survive her new ordeal - freedom? </b></i></span><br />

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">In short, it's tense and chilly enough to make forget to take a bite of that marzipan bar while you're watching and it's a game changer for me. What I mean is that you get involved and anticipate, rather then lay back, predict who's who and watch till the end just to confirm you were right. </span></h4>

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"></span></h4>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br />It's 5-episode mini series, beloved BBC format, each lasts around 55 min and definitely worth wasting your precious Saturday time. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">As it is getting colder and damper I'm starting to look for new ways of preventing myself from curling up on a sofa in front of a screen. I even got a gym membership! Still, I'm not as good at this job as I think. But all you fans of serious drama and ballet should rejoice since I have found a perfect match: new Starz series <i>FLESH AND BONE</i>. </span></span></h3>

<span style="font-size: large;"><b>One thing that is unavoidable in post-Soviet states (and that is the moment when all of you thought about corruption) is ugliness. Inextirpable and timeless, it eagerly awaits you at every corner ready to strike. </b></span></h3>

<span style="font-size: small;"><b>"Classless society"</b> - one of the leading ideas of communism aimed to bring a new concept into life - egalitarian society, but at some point it all went wrong.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: small;">Some say Brits should get rid of the royal family and finally get their happily after. Some say it's the access to education that defines what our children will grow up into. However, this laudable theory of the society where everyone will experience<b> equal rights</b> and opportunities didn't come to the same actualization it has in Western tradition.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: small;">In short, this perverted regional variant of <b>classless society</b> meant you weren't encouraged to express yourself, as a matter of fact, you weren't even a central element of the picture. <b>Working class</b> at last could enjoy the appreciation but did it also mean everyone had to literally become classless?</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: small;">Remember the <b>White</b> and the <b>Red</b>? The aristocracy (as well as other people of influence who didn't, well, hold much of the capital but contributed to the cultural development, e.g. writers) fled country and took away the <i>brightest minds, nobility and manners with them. </i></span></div>

<span style="font-size: small;">When politicians make their speeches before election and address us with populist words and statements worth a bunch of idiots and definitely not a group of intelligent people let us remember Lenin.

<span style="font-size: small;">
As much as it is easy and heart-warming to have someone perfect to blame, I understand we should take control of the situation, forgive our neglectful parents and move forward - this is what any shrink would say. I wonder, why so many of us prefer not to? </span></h4>

virtues, these are the films that are shamelessly bold and audacious.
Films that talk sex and money, and power, and politics, and suicide
in the way there are a lot for the viewer to look for between the
lines. Paradoxically, women in French cinema do not wear makeup</span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> in
the morning and look stunning in their natural gorgeousness.
Paradoxically, a film of two actors and one location does not fail to
catch our attention. </span></div>

whining about the situation with the the gender equality and
discrimination in your country (and I'm not mocking it), you should
really know that <b>anti-discriminatory law</b> has only been passed few
days ago. Furthermore, it does not say a word about the
discrimination based on <b>sexual orientation </b>and is generally quite
ambiguous, which is totally intolerable for a legislation of any sort.</span></div>

that you don't get the wrong impression here. I do not think the war
is over in the West in terms of reaching social equality. Still, I
can't stop wondering what could have possibly prevented us from
getting same rates so far. Perhaps, it is about time and we will get
to that point eventually, but for now what is left for us to do is
keep bringing these issues up whenever we can for them to begin at
least sound commonplace. </span></div>

<b><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Jarmusch's new vampire
drama (god, how pretentious it sounds) has made a lot of fuss in
Cannes, Toronto and the rest of the world. While film description
places it along with those cliche «vampire movies», so we expect it
to obey certain rules and norms, like shallowness, for instance or
saliently poor acting, with the opening credits you will reject that
hypothesis.</span><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"> <i>Only Lovers Left Alive</i></span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> has it all: exquisite visuals,

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The storyline in <b><i>Only
Lovers Left Alive</i></b> is built around a centuries old couple named Adam and
Eve, talking in grandiloquent manner and dressed painfully stylish.
It is indeed melodramatic enough, yet there is a thin line between
<b>Shakespearean</b> melodramatic and mawkish teen movies about vampires.
Frankly, I'd go as far as to say this is one of my favourite love
stories on screen. <b>Adam</b> is a depressed and reclusive musician tired
of meaningless existence of those around him (read mortals). His
journey through hundreds years marked many ground-breaking events in
both science and art, but now he's experiencing excruciating
annoyance witnessing the collapse of human civilization. E</span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">ven though h</span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">is wife </span><b style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Eve </b><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">lives miles away in Morocco,</span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> their love is
probably the only thing that's keeping him sustained. Well, except
for the blood, I suppose. Given that </span><b style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Tilda Swinton </b><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">is an </span><i style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">ethereal

Hiddleston</b><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">, on the other hand, with his </span><i style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">posh accent</i><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> and eyes only genuinely depressed person may have, and I treat it as a medical term here, is
a quintessential </span><b style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Hamlet</b><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">. </span></div>

<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><b>The director negates the mere concept of narrative here. The characters do not pursuit an ultimate goal, as it should be. Instead, their life is based on solving day-to-day issues, mostly connected with food supplies. This technique, however, serves to accentuate the visuality of the film. Sometimes it gets dangerously close to noir, nevertheless, it is romantic to the core. The viewer is to elicit a lot from the way characters dress, the place they are living in, the cities they travel to. Time cease to exist in<i> Only Lovers Left Alive</i> not being important at all. What matters here really is a chance to look at yourself from that very angle that uncovers every flaw.</b></span></blockquote>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /> In fact, there is a lot of
word play, intelligent and not at all subtle, as well as allusions of
all sorts. J<b>armusch's</b> triumphal comeback is like usual – a must
see, artful with a long-lasting aftertaste. The cinematic world, as
we all know, always has its own set of rules, however, the world of
<b><i>Only Lovers Left Alive</i></b> is strikingly real, pushing the viewers out of
their comfort zone through tackling some burning issues. </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><b>“What are
we gonna do now”</b></span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">, - consequently the characters ask themselves the
question at some point.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b>Having heard that the new
<i>Yves Saint Laurent</i> biopic <strike>hit the stores</strike> was in the movies already, I
rushed to book a ticket. While my expectations always run high with
French cinema, this time I was left completely puzzled, and I mean it
in a good way. Does it surprise you when I tell you that this year
there would be two such films, both set in France. Well, it wouldn't
amaze me, that's for sure, with all the ongoing fuss around embarking
on a new journey and getting rid of old. Naturally, I refer to the
fact, we are no longer able to see Yves on a brand's logo. I leave
the judgments to you (once you are aware that the man himself has
done the same, his name to difficult to pronounce for the rest of the
world), as I should mention, if I may, that having the name on a
cinema poster automatically means a <i>fashion movie</i>. Turned out, it
wasn't at all that simple.</b></span>
</div>
<div lang="en-US" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Back in the 60s, <b>Yves
Saint Laurent</b> was 21-years old and head of <b>Dior</b>, at the same time
neurotic and insecure, as his business and love partner </span><em style="background-color: white; font-style: normal; font-weight: bold; line-height: 18px;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Pierre Bergé</span></em><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> recalls. The film does a great justice to all the majesty and
grandeur of his designs: from taking on <b>Dior </b>and transforming it, to
the revolution of <b>Le Smoking</b> and...well, there has been a lot of
ground-breaking actions. What still may strike, if you do not dare
call yourself a particular fashion lover, while that does not mean
you will not be enthralled by the gorgeousness of the clothes, you
will find yourself involved because <b><i>Yves Saint Laurent</i></b> <i>adheres to the
traditions of love story, emotional turmoils of youth and a life long
journey of a person so far from commonplace or low-maintenance. </i></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">There is nothing redundant and, consequently, shallow or sickly-sweet, as <b>every action, hue and word are rich in subtle implications.</b> When the relationship between <b>Yves </b>and <b>Pierre </b>emerge, we see nothing but deserted streets, where nothing and no one matters anymore, except for those two.<br /><br /><b>Yves Saint Laurent</b> has, in fact, what it takes to be called an auteur film - it's a visually stunning picture in a way only <b>French</b> cinematographers are capable of with some quite drastic turns in the script and incomparable acting. Surprisingly enough (I feel like shouting "Thanks God" there really), the dialogues are not grandiloquent, although you would surely expect it in biopic. Actually, the greatest achievement of the cast and the crew is that of focusing on <b>Yves</b> personality rather than creating a flawless genius type that is so remarkably different from us, mere mortals. I loveв that he was alive on screen and I was able to believe the things he have been doing and saying.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">This February I have joined a great course on <b>Scandinavian cinema and television</b> and <b>Coursera</b>. That's why I'm sharing this short essay on <b>Carl Th Dreyer</b>, one of the most outstanding <b>Danish</b> film directors. For those of you who are not quite familiar with <b>Scandinavian cinema</b> I may as well add that they are known primarily for auteur films, independent, deep and emotional. The movie I'm writing about - <b>The Word (1955)</b> - was awarded with a <b>Golden Lion</b> at Venice Film Festival. The extract analyzed in my essay is posted below. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><b>The Word</b>'s style
bears distinguishing
features of his earlier works, namely, slow camera movements, long
takes and depressive atmosphere. What helps <b>The Word </b>engage the
audience, however, is compilation of several things: dealing with
very common issues such as an anticipation and initial fear of<b> death</b>
and tackling very ambiguous topics, in this case, <b>religion</b>. Having
taken to consideration general slowness and <b>lack of dynamic action</b> we
may see how this particular <b>film rhythm</b> provokes the viewer to stop,
think and therefore sympathize. The lasting aftertaste is created by
a one of the most efficient marketing technology – as we would say<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"> had</span> the director bee<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">n</span> our contemporary – give them problem and then hope
for solution. The <b>characters</b> have to deal with the worst – but
later the <b><i>miracle</i></b> occurs. Moreover, there is nothing irrelevant on
screen, <i>every shot is constructed precisely to provide certain
information</i>, e.g. when <b>Johannes</b>
talks to the child there are pale walls and the clock which I believe
is aimed to emphasize the fluidity of life. The way people act and,
of course, they must have been instructed to do so by <b>Carl Th Dreyer</b>
himself is quite remarkable as they add up to <b><i>deliberate slowness</i></b>
with things like <b>Inger's</b> daughter smile emerging on her face in a
very slow-motion replay style. The <b>final scene</b> is extremely tense in the
beginning, yet it ends happily with the family being reunited and
characters being given answers on whether or not they should have faith,
much like the audience actually. <i>“The end is to enrich one’s fellow
human beings by engrossing them in
an emotional experience they would not otherwise encounter.”</i>, said <b>Carl
Th Dreyer </b>about <b>The Word </b>and it is probably the best explanation of its
success. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Биографическая драма
<b>Жана-Марка Валле</b> на первый взгляд об
эпидемии СПИДа в середине<b> 1980-тых</b>, на
самом же деле — о том как встретиться
лицом к лицу со смертью и выйти из схватки
с заведомо плохим концом победителем,
а не побежденным. Когда <b>Рону Вудруфу</b>,
электрику из Техаса, неожиданно ставят
диагноз от которого кровь стынет в жилах
и обещают максимум 30 дней жизни выбор
у него, скажем так, небольшой. Можно
остаться медленно умирать в пространстве
белых больничных стен, можно попробовать
бороться не только в болезнью, но и
бюрократической системой заодно, ведь
лекарств для многочисленных больных
не хватает. В течении двух часов экранного
времени <b>Рон Вулдруф</b> (<b>Мэттью МакКонахи</b>)
собирается совершить удивительное
путешествие от <i>пьяницы, гомофоба и, в
общем, техасского электрика</i>, чего уж
тут скрывать, до человека, спасшего жизни
многих людей. Пожалуй, самое интересное
в этой истории то, что ни один отравленный
чувством собственной важности критик
не сможет обвинить фильм в несоответствии
критерию реалистичности — все это
произошло на самом деле</span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">.</span></div>

смешных (по голливудским меркам) 5 500 000
долларов (для сравнения минимальный
бюджет для мэйнстримовых фильмов обычно
составляет 60 млн) в распоряжении у
съемочной команды было<b> 25 дней</b>. Для
полноты картины замечу, что сам <b>МакКонахи</b>
в одном из интервью поведал следующее:
«Я осваивал новый способ создания
фильмов. У нас не было освещения, всего
одна камера и дубли длиной в <b>15 минут</b>»
(I was riding a new way of making a film. There were no lights, one
camera, 15-minute takes). Даже озвучки не было —
все записали во время сьемок. <b><i>Каким
бы странным это вам не казалось, фильм
от того только выиграл. </i></b>Камера под чутким
руководством<b> Ива Беланже</b> немного
нервная, дрожащая и это тоже часть
рассказанной истории. <b>«Далласский клуб
покупателей» </b>не является документальным
фильмом, но именно этот прием позволяет
забыть, что смотришь ты отнюдь не
реалити-шоу. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Если говорить про образ
Рона Вулдруфа, то он не только трехмерный
и сложный, но и невероятно яркий и
колоритный. К слову, Мэттью МакКоннахи
как раз и был актером, получившим
одобрение сестры настоящего Рона
Вулдруфа. Поскольку сценарий находится
в разработке с 1992 года несколько лет
назад на роль пробовались Бред Питт,
Райан Гослинг, и не только они. Джаред
Лето не собирается изменять своей старой
доброй привычке играть редко, но метко.
Вы помните хоть одну его посредственную
роль? Я тоже что-то не вспомню. В «Далласском
клубе покупателей» его персонаж —
транссексуалка Рейон — переживает
весьма трагичную историю. Критики не
устают хвалить мастерство перевоплощения
мистера Лето и я с удовольствием к ним
присоединяюсь. </span></div>

something called «sexual revolution» started. To make a long story
short, there were quite a few porn movies but they were nothing more
than depicting a sexual intercourse and that's that. The reason why
you have probably heard about «The Deep Throat» is because it was
arguably the first adult movie ever featuring a script and character
development. Linda Lovelace, apparently, was its star. </span></h3>

up in a strict Catholic manner the girl was teased «Holy, holy» at school.
Yet somehow she managed to have got pregnant at 19, Linda's life was
more or less full of contradictions or, put it another way, unexpected
plot twists. At the age of 21 she met Chuck — dodgy character,
doing God knows what for a living and married him. Later on, she
became a <b><i>porn star</i></b> of the moment, divorced her husband, revealed the
truth about her abusive relationship and turned into a loyal wife and
mother. Sounds a bit weird, doesn't it? </span><br />

quite symbolic. He watches her go-go dancing in the club, meets her
at the parking lot afterwards and asks if she knew she could get paid
for such performances. In fact, the movie is full of those symbols
giving us clues, its just we are not ready to perceive the truth,
which is: </span><b style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><i>porn-industry isn't glamorous at all</i></b><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">. There are certain
types that end there but it is never a choice of a free-willed woman
or man. Her life is a tremendous journey of self-growth. While during
the first part of the movie she is clearly defined by those who
surround her, allegedly immoral, yet powerful and controlling, in the
end she finally takes control over her own life. </span><br />

his book «Anna Karenina» to be precise) that every happy family
looks the same while every unhappy one is unhappy in its own way. All
of this is true for the Westons who we should call a dysfunctional
family or, putting it mildly, a bunch of noisy, unsympathetic people
who gather around the table few times a year secretly wishing they
weren't there. Thoroughly familiar picture for lots of us out there,
isn't it?</span></h4>
<div>
<div lang="en-US" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b>August: Osage County</b> is
originally a darkly comedic play by Tracy Letts. It was awarded
<i>Pulitzer Prize for Drama</i> as well as being staged in the USA and the
UK plenty of times rather successfully. The film is directed by <b>John
Wells </b>and produced by <b>George Clooney</b> and yes, there would be a lot of
famous names, so be prepared.</span></div>
<div lang="en-US" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div lang="en-US" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> In the adapted script the story
revolves around a family of a drug-addicted wife with cancer, a
husband - used-to-be famous poet and current old drunk, their three
forty-something daughters and all the rest. The actual reason why all
the family comes to <b>Oklahoma</b> is Beverly (father) who has suddenly gone missing but
<b>August: Osage County</b> is more or less painfully realistic indie drama
about<i> women</i>: miscellaneous, strong-willed and deep.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Now, there may not be too
many remarkable ideas or smashing cinematography, or dynamic plot.
After all, it is a theatrical drama and this time I'm truly grateful
for the lack of special effects and quick change of locations. In
fact, what it keeps it together and gives you chills is a superb
<b>acting</b> by the unbelievably harmonious ensemble of the best. Having
got tired of breaking bounds with its predecessor, the theatre,
Hollywood is going back to basics: women are not forced to look 17ish in
their 40s, every shot is meaningful and symbolic while every cue is
worth quoting. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The setting adds to drama and tension significantly: August in Osage County is hot like hell. Left to deal with each for the first time in a very long time, mother and her daughters, each one a vivid character, are slightly overplayed just like it should be in theatre by Meryl Streep, Julia Roberts, Juliette Lewis and</span><span style="font-family: tahoma, verdana, arial; font-size: x-small;"> </span><span style="font-family: tahoma, verdana, arial;">Julianna Nicholson. </span><br />

<div lang="en-US" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I will tell you that I was worried Meryl Streep would outshine everyone else like she usually does but this time every actor is right in her/his place and the question of whether or not the cast of A-lists is relevant simply can't be raised. Nevertheless, she is stunning in her performance and she's equally lucky to have played such a character in her life. Violet is wicked, obnoxious, sleazy old lady, yet there is some magnetic force involved when she delivers her lines. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">To say the truth, unlike <b>Meryl Streep</b>, <b>Julia Roberts </b>has never been my favourite, neither did I consider her a serious artist but I had to change my mind because she was tremendously convincing in her role of a demanding and controlling daughter. </span><br />

<i><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">We love judging almost like we love comparing ourselves with other and looking for flaws. <b>August: Osage County</b> gives you exactly what you want - a quick glimpse through the keyhole into the house of an American family.

to know about <b><i>12 Years A Slave</i></b> is that it is a film about slavery.
Secondly, it is nothing like its predecessors. It is based on a book
by <i>Solomon Northup</i>, a f</span>ree black musician <span lang="en-US">from
New York who was kidnapped, shipped to the South and sold to the
owner of a Louisiana plantation in 1841. And this is exactly what
makes this story so outstanding and shockingly truthful. The main
difference is actually a chance for a viewer <b>to relate to the
protagonist</b>. Imagine a free man, a family man whose life is just
like any other. He is well-mannered, sophisticated and respected.
Then one morning he wakes up in chains. The life he is used to is far
behind, the new one holds nothing but never-ending suffering. </span></span>

<strong><span lang="en-US"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">McQueen
continues the tradition of extended shots directing his third act.
Here he forces an audience into looking at something they may not be
comfortable with and stay there for quite a long time. Although this
technique is rather tricky to use, in this case it works out
perfectly giving us a break from 1-2 seconds shots in mainstream
Hollywood cinema as well as challenging us with more drama. He is not
too cautious with the raw material letting the story flow from one
part to another. </span></span></strong></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span lang="en-US">The countdown to
<b>holiday season</b> has begun, presents are being bought and wrapped in
haste all around the world (well...I mean...), my country is about to
abolish the <b>dictatorship </b>and I have received my very first <b>Christmas</b>
gift this winter. Actually, it was from gorgeous <b>Beyonce</b> who has
finally decided to come out as a feminist after years of deliberate
avoiding the very word itself, like it could smear her <b>pop icon </b>image. However, her knew song <b>'Flawless'</b> features a sample from a
speech made by a </span>Nigerian writer <b>Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie</b><span lang="en-US"><b>
at TEDxEuston in London</b>. To be brutally honest here, the singer also
managed to release her new album on-line on Thursday, no long-living
PR and marketing strategies or advertising of any sort being prepared
beforehand. Although, this is not the thing that strikes me the most,
primarily, because top celebrities like <b>Beyonce</b> know where they are
going most of the time and only take risks from which they would
benefit in the end. Does it mean <b><i>feminism is mainstream</i></b>? I hope so.
Perhaps, it is, or rather it might be in the USA, Western Europe and
that's that. </span></span>

<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span lang="en-US"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">To clarify a few
things I shall now come back to <b>Ukraine</b> and its current state.
Surely, you have seen it on <b>BBC</b>, <b>CNN</b> or in front pages of some
respected newspapers where it occasionally pops up covered in
<b>blue-and-yellow </b>flags. The truth is, we are struggling here to
impeach the <b>President</b>, also known as <i>ex-con, uneducated half-wit and
notorious dictator who had completely destroyed the country through
astonishing corruption and total lawlessness, despite huge economical
potential and motivated, talented workforce</i>. We had a little chance
to improve, although, by signing some sort of a trade pact with the
<b>EU</b>, demanding us to make certain alterations in the system at first
and become a bit more <b>democratic</b> and a bit less <b>post-Soviet</b> like.
Instead, that bastard has nearly sold my country to <b>Russia</b> in
exchange for some cash for him and his 'family' of oligarchs and
criminals, used force against peaceful protesters and holds political
prisoners. I can't help but wonder if he was searching for some
inspiration in <b>Stalin and Ceaușescu</b> biographies. In fact, I could go
on about it for days, but I'd rather think of something positive
about the whole thing. </span></span>

shed a tear when read all those most shared stories on <b>Facebook</b> about
<i><b>brave and strong men forcing women (and by forcing I mean an actual

being reluctant to agree there are more men capable of
physical power than women, it is about complete and utter neglect of women,
their rights and their feelings. We are <b>freezing to death</b> in the

suspenseful drama where the story revolves around <b>Will Burton</b>, a
successful lawyer of unprecedented intellect. He's never lost a case
but does everyone deserve a defense? A <i>ruthless murderer</i> evades
penalty and turns Will's life into a nightmare. His wife was killed
yet her murderer just walks away. From now on the drama starts
exploring a thin line between law and justice and I personally have
had a splendid time watching it. Is he really the <b>Escape Artist</b>?</span></div>

<div lang="en-US" style="margin-bottom: 0cm; page-break-before: always;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">A few words about the
script – it's smart, it's full of suspense, totally unpredictable
and simply won't let you change the channel. It's a bit slower than
CSI and all the rest which makes it a bit more realistic as well. I
particularly enjoy it when protagonist and antagonist switch places
and the characters are complex so you have to think, doubt, go
“argh!” before rooting for any of them. </span></div>

стара как мир. Ну, почти как мир. В любом
случае, ей 200 лет и этого достаточно
чтобы вызывать предвзятое отношение и
навевать скуку. Но когда за постановку
берутся </span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;">британцы</span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small; font-weight: normal;">, чей </span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;"><i>театр я по праву
называю лучшим в мире</i></span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small; font-weight: normal;">, на сцене встречается
классика и последние технологические
новшества в области сценических эффектов,
а привычные истории обретают второе
рождение. Именно поэтому я грезила
</span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;">«Франкенштейном»</span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small; font-weight: normal;"> очень долго и каким
было мое удивление, когда спустя 2 года
после театральной премьеры и кинопоказов
по всему миру спектакль анонсировали

история близка каждому. Почему? </span>Создание<span style="font-weight: normal;">
приходит в этот мир также, как и любой
из нас: </span><i>заявляется непрошеным гостем и начинает свое пусть
и увлекательное, но порой весьма
болезненное путешествие сквозь жизнь.
</i><span style="font-weight: normal;">Исполнение этой роли </span>Jonny Lee Miller<span style="font-weight: normal;">, сегодня
известным благодаря сериалу </span>«Элементарно»<span style="font-weight: normal;">,
очень проникновенно. Страх неизвестного
сменяется детским восторгом от осознания
красоты и совершенства этого мира, и
здесь нельзя не отметить колоссальную
работу над </span>пластикой<span style="font-weight: normal;">. </span>Создание<span style="font-weight: normal;"> проходит
весь путь от собственного рождения до осознанного человека, но во взрослом теле. (Еще и каком! Сшитом из кусков трупов!)</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small; font-weight: normal;">Англичанка </span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;">Мэри Шелли</span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small; font-weight: normal;">,
написала </span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;">«Франкенштейна»</span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small; font-weight: normal;"> в возрасте
18 лет, а все потому, что ей повезло родится
в семье феминистки и либерального
журналиста, и хотя мать умерла при родах,
отец всецело поддерживал желание девочки
учится. Идея </span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;">социального неравенства</span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small; font-weight: normal;">,
а точнее, неприятия оного писательницей
четко прослеживается в романе. <i>Почему
кто-то должен быть отвергнут и гоним за
свою инаковость, ведь никто не виноват
в природе своего происхождения? </i>Всячески
подчеркивая эту идею создателям
спектакля, сценаристу </span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;">Nick Dear</span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small; font-weight: normal;"> и режиссеру
</span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;">Danny Boyle</span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small; font-weight: normal;">, удается уйти от позиции навязывания
и морализаторства оставив последнее
слово за зрителем. Здесь никто не
озвучивает что есть хорошо и что есть
плохо и именно это делает </span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;">«Франкенштейна»</span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small; font-weight: normal;">
очень реалистичным. <br /><br />Переходя от
</span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;">Создания</span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small; font-weight: normal;"> к его создателю </span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;">Франкенштейну</span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small; font-weight: normal;">
скажу лишь, что </span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;">Benedict Cumberbatch</span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small; font-weight: normal;"> отлично
справился с ролью социопатического
асексуального интеллектуала, клеймо
которого ему еще долго придется носить
— вспомните хотя бы </span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;">«Шерлока», «Хокинга»
и «Пятую Власть»</span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small; font-weight: normal;">. Но образ </span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;">Виктора
Франкенштейна </span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small; font-weight: normal;">сложен и неоднозначен
еще и потому, что его история заканчивается
</span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;">ничем</span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small; font-weight: normal;">. Создав человека, он величает себя
его </span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;">господином</span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small; font-weight: normal;">, но «у господина есть
обязанности», замечает </span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;">Создание</span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small; font-weight: normal;">, а</span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;">
Франкенштейн</span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small; font-weight: normal;"> позорно сбегает, испугавшись
дела собственных рук, оправдываясь тем,
что это был всего лишь эксперимент,
очередная научная задача, а не рождения
человеческой, а следовательно ценной,
жизни. Эту холодность и отверженность
актер передает с поразительной точностью,
не забывая об аристократичной осанке,
а выражение презрения к уродливому,
несовершенному </span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;">Созданию</span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small; font-weight: normal;"> лишь усугубляется
по мере того, как оно доказывает свое
подобие, а местами и превосходство над
своим творцом. </span></div>

воспроизведение театральной постановки,
чего-то, что подразумевается как прямое
взаимодействие между актерами и
зрителями, а не опосредствованное,
энергетика и эмоции не теряют от этого
в своей силе.</span></span><br />

<h3 style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Британское нашествие
продолжается! 13 ноября в столице
открывается XIII фестиваль «Новое
британское кино». <i>Что смотреть? </i>Главные
новинки кинематографа Соединенного
Королевства, большинство из которых не
выйдет в украинский прокат. </span></h3>
<br />
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Главным
событием фестиваля станет показ киноверсии легендарного <b>«Франкенштейна» </b>Дэнни
Бойла ("На игле"), сценической адаптации известного
романа. Революционный
проект <b>Британского Национального Театра
National Theatre Live</b> с 2009 года занимается
трансляцией самых обсуждаемых постановок
<b>Royal National Theatre </b>в кинотеатрах всего мира. <b>Виктора Франкенштейна и его Создание Бенедикт Камбербэтч и Джонни Ли Миллер</b> (оба исполнители роли Шерлока Холмса в известных сериалах) играли поочередно, меняясь ролями каждый вечер и оба получили за это <b>премию Лоуренса Оливье</b>. Кроме умопомрачительных декораций, сценических эффектов и грима <b>«Франкенштейн»</b> способен удивить трактовкой классической истории, пережившей десятки трансформацией со времен оригинала авторства восемнадцатилетней <b>Мэри Шелли</b>.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Помимо первого визита
<b>National Theatre Live</b> в Украину, мы увидим
допремьерный показ биографической
мелодрамы <b>«Диана. История любви»</b> (в
широкий прокат картина выходит 28 ноября)
с <b>Наоми Уоттс</b>, дебютную полнометражную
картину «<b>Великан-эгоист» </b><b><span style="font-weight: normal;">(одноименная

</b><span style="font-weight: normal;">режиссерки
</span><b>Клио Барнард</b><span style="font-weight: normal;">, получившую приз <i>Label Europa
Cinemas</i> на </span><b>Каннском фестивале</b><span style="font-weight: normal;">. Герои
</span><b>«Великана-эгоиста»</b><span style="font-weight: normal;"> подростки-выходцы
из </span><i>«неблагополучных»</i><span style="font-weight: normal;"> семей, а центре
внимания их дружба, взросление и выживание
в мире, далеком от стандартов английского
среднего класса. Судя по описанию, эта
лента классический представитель жанра
</span><b>бытовой драмы</b><span style="font-weight: normal;">, или <i>«ломтика жизни»</i>, как
называют его западные искусствоведы,
одного из любимых направлений </span><b>английского</b><span style="font-weight: normal;">
кино и театра, но в тоже время очень
эмоциональная и трогательная.</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Знаете, когда я отчетливей
всего начинаю ощущать, что лето прошло
и дальше будет только <strike>хуже</strike>
холоднее? Этот день начинается с пальто.
Его можно достать из шкафа, а можно
добавить в список ближайших покупок.
Есть жизнь до и есть после пальто.
Наденешь его раз — и теплые солнечные
деньки стираются из памяти со скоростью
позднего осеннего ветра. </span></h3>

я вспоминаю только о плохом? Пальто это
также прекрасный повод поэкспериментировать
со своим стилем и торжественно открыть

как раз тот случай когда больше значит
лучше. В большинстве своем <b>минималистичные </b>(хотя встречаются и
щедро украшенные варианты) объемные
пальто достаточно универсальные. Мне
нравится сочетание подобного пальто с
<b>джемпером с высоким горлом</b> или попросту
<b>водолазкой</b>, к слову, обязательной к
приобретению после неожиданного триумфа
на мировых <b>подиумах</b>. <br /><br />В данном случае
желательно все же соблюдать баланс
«объемный верх» - «узкий низ», но и
правила ведь существуют для того чтобы
их нарушать, не так ли?</span></div>

сайт, перевернувший наше понятие о
свободе слова и свободном доступе ко
всем уровням информации. Его детище
<b>WIKILEAKS </b>стало клондайком <b>засекреченных
материалов</b> о «сильных мира сего», а
точнее, их коррумпированности, жестокости
и пренебрежению <b>правами человека</b>. </span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Благодаря технологии
безопасного постинга на сайте </span><b style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">анонимные

владеет миром. Зачем <b>Ассанжу</b> понадобилось
создавать некоммерческую организацию
и поддавать свою жизнь огромному риску
— скорее всего мы никогда не сможем
ответить на эти вопросы. Известно лишь
одно, пока <b>Джулиан Ассанж</b> находиться в
посольстве Эквадора в Лондоне, получив
статус политического беженца, интерес
к его персоне не утихает. Ведь <b>WikiLeaks</b> не
просто поделились с нами фактами
ужасающих правонарушений, но и попытались
узнать, где проходит тонкая грань между
<b>свободой слова</b> и территорией интересов
государства.</span>

<span style="color: black; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">За
свою недолгую жизнь сетевой проект

<h3 style="text-align: left;">
I'd been waiting for Stephen Fry's
documentary series «Out There» to come out (what a choice of words,
dear me) for a while. Stephen have been teasing us on his Twitter page all the time. I caught up, however, when he was visiting a
notorious Russian deputy Vitaliy Milonov, now famous for his
preposterous and rather blurred law on banning «gay propaganda»
(oh, really?) among minors. For those of you who haven't seen the
series yet the life of gay people in five countries (UK, USA, Uganda,
India, Brazil and Russia) is being explored by Mr. Stephen Fry —
actor, writer, presenter, Britain's national treasure, LGBT activist
and an open gay himself.</h3>

Turns out quite dangerous form of <b>homophobia</b> on a federal level still thrives in
so many places, moreover, sometimes the <b>rights</b> you've been granted
with may be taken away so easily.<b> In this documentary Fry</b> meets different people
belonging to different cultures and environments, naturally, many of
them hurt and given the <span lang="en-US">experience he has, a
conversation moves to another level. Well, anyone would feel sorry
for a mother who's lost her son due to a <b>hate crime</b>, you might say. But
there's this certain kind of <b>compassion</b> the one who's been there can
provide. When <b>Farshid</b> from <b>Iran </b>shares his story on escaping to Britain to
avoid <b>hanging</b> which is the price to pay for <b>being gay</b> there adding
that he'll rather commit <b>suicide</b> than be punished by death penalty if the
government doesn't allow him to stay. You can literally see it in
<b>Fry's </b>eyes that he actually gets it. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Я все еще пытаюсь разрешить свой внутренний конфликт, заключающийся в вопросе можно ли называть эту картину <b>минималистичной</b>. Безусловно, <b>Альфонсо Куарон</b> (снявший </span><b style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">«</b><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b>Гарри Поттер и Узник Азкабана</b></span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">!) замышлял </span><b style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> «Гравитацию»</b><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> как главный <b>мейнстрим</b> фильм осени - зачем же еще ему потребовалось тогда 100 000 000$ и главные любимчики Америки на экране - но с другой стороны, режиссеру удалось не отвлекать нас зрелищностью и мощью картинки от актееской игры <b>Сандры Баллок и Джорджа Клуни</b> и чувств их героев в духе камерной театральной пьесы. Несмотря на сравнительную простоту и легкость сюжета, </span><b style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">«</b><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b>Гравитация</b></span><b style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">»</b><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> доказывает, что <i>грамотные режиссерские и операторские приемы, ставшие символами иной раз позволяют сказать все то, что не всегда помещается в длинные и пафосные монологи/диалоги. Последних здесь вообще очень мало, но каждое слово попадает в нужную точку, находит эмоциональный отклик в зрителе и усиливает эффект присутствия и вовлеченности.</i> <b>Доктор Райан Стоун (Баллок)</b> на экране переживет свое<b><i> второе рождение</i></b>: поза эмбриона, символическое перерезание пуповины, рождение из воды и первые шаги, в этом ее будем сопровождать и мы потому что не заставить задуматься и по-новому взглянуть на привычные вещи эта картина просто не может. Хотелось бы также отметить игру <b>Джорджа Клуни</b>, чье присутствие на экране длится не так долго, но не вызывает сомнений с первых кадров. Привычный имидж харизматичного серцееда прекрасным образом раскрывается в роли командира экспедиции <b>Метта Ковальски</b> и даже не надейтесь, что я намекну на что-то большее - для этого нужно идти в кино.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b>Джеймс Кэмерон</b> назвал<b> «Гравитацию»</b> лучшей кинолентой о космосе в истории кино, я же назову ее лучшей кинолентой о природе человека.</span><br />

<span style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The production is amazing combining cabaret inspired clothes, silent films' acting tips, animation and storytelling. Three actresses give the audience an effusive energy and excitement of the complex, utterly enchanting and provoking world. Here the women interact with animated characters and it's so thrilling! <i>It's also dark and surreal which makes it British to the core, particularly because of that very specific sense of humor which doesn't breed outside the UK.</i></span></span></div>

I can't stop all the </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><i>WOW</i></span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">'s coming out of my mouth. For those of you who haven't seen the masterpiece a little introduction will follow. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The singer's collaboration with a legendary <b>Steven Klein</b> became a 17-minute film or as I'd rather say a transcendent, beautiful and powerful imagery. Here <b>Madonna </b>explores the meaning of freedom and emphasizes how intolerance and violence are the destroyers of one's life and the world itself. It's intriguing, thoughtful and artful. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><b><i>"Economic markets are collapsing. People all over the world are suffering
and people are afraid and what happens when people are afraid? They
become intolerant, they start pointing the finger at other people, they
say: «You're the reason, you're the problem, you're to blame, get out!».
The enemy is not out there, the enemy is within</i></b></span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">".<br /><br />Moreover, <b>Madonna</b> has launched <b><a href="http://artforfreedom.com/" target="_blank">Art for Freedom</a> </b>website - a global initiative aimed to support freedom of expression.</span><br />

The last words I am going to say here is remember that a true revolution is the revolution of love not blood.<br />
