Review of the movie Malawita. A dog's life
The most important words about the movie were said in an interview by Luc Besson himself — this is a benefit performance by Martin Scorsese. The beneficiary himself takes part in the project, the `` chronicler '' the Italian-American Mafia, in the guise of a producer; his ardent admirers Luc Besson and writer Tonino Benaquista, French Italian, author of the novel `` Malavita '' (Crappy life); close friend and favorite actor Robert De Niro; a good half of the Sopranos (Vincent Pastore, Paul Borghez, Anthony Desio, Raymond Fraza), honored `` federal '' Poker-faced Hollywood Tommy Lee Jones; Michelle Pfeiffer, who is not the first time married to the mafia. Whatever Luc Besson is shooting — crime, historical chronicle, science fiction, biopic, comics — his movies always come out alive, dynamic and very ironic. And regardless of the size of the budget, they are intriguing and have a unique French stamp of the author. " Malavita " a very dynamic black comedy with a criminal basis. The cinema knows a lot of family stories — Corleone, the aforementioned Sopranos, Addams, Collins, Prizzi, American Roses, perhaps lesser-known French Roses with the brilliant Carole Bouquet as the mother of the family, and finally, the recent Millers. The Blake family will take its rightful place in this row. Blakey has been living under the auspices of a witness protection program for 6 years after his dad Fred Blake (Robert De Niro), aka mafia Giovanni Manzoni, turned in his big mafia family. In the context of Manzoni's mafia past, the current dreary everyday life — trashy doggy a life. Blakey is constantly changing their place of residence, because they do not get along well among the aborigines due to their tough disposition — a gangster is not a choice, but a calling and a call of blood. They do not so much adapt as bend this life for themselves in accordance with their ideas and, in general, without undue modesty, take what they want, leaving traces of chaos, explosions, crippled residents, etc. I must say that their ideas about life seem, oddly enough, more adequate than those of those around them. In addition, they know how to ignite, and the audience's sympathy, without a doubt, is on their side. The story is interspersed with shots of imaginary reprisals against opponents, drawn by the Blakes' vivid imagination. You can't refuse them inventiveness! Son and daughter (John D` Leo and Dianna Agron) put the school on their ears, mother Maggie (Michelle Pfeiffer) - the service sector and local padre. Fred Blake " unobtrusive " teaches courtesy to the local public from a locksmith to a director of a chemical plant, out of boredom, takes up memoirs about the `` best years '' own life. He is a brilliant stylist, almost like Ellochka the Cannibal, — His most popular word is `` fuck '', but he has a lot of meanings. The movie was very lucky with the cast. The audience seemed to be quite warmly received the `` family '' Comedy We Are the Millers. So the Millers next to the Blakes look pale. De Niro has been reproached for ten years now that he has become a parody of himself. Nonsense. In his youth, he did not look as organic and incendiary as in recent movies, at least `` Once Upon a Time in Hollywood '' and Big Wedding. He has a wonderful duet with Michelle Pfeiffer, who has become more and more luxurious over the years, and with Tommy Lee Jones, whose calmness hides an excellent sense of humor and emotional mobility. Jones' character, the FBI agent overseeing our escapees, bears the surname Stansfield, like Gary Oldman's character in Leone. Besson. The movie has a very light and warm aura, a lot of life, not a single passing cardboard character. Abyss of jokes, and the humor is elegant and piquant, without the slightest vulgarity. The tape turned out to be a classic of the gangster genre, and partly a monument to the classics, `` sorting out '' movieography of both Besson and Scorsese., and De Niro. It has both American solidity and European lightness. Leaves the same fresh impression as the recent action movie `` Two Barrels '' Baltasar Kormakura. Must watch!
