Del Toro's Friends and Zemeckis Mad Men: Watch This Week
No sooner had the USA viewers had enough time to enjoy a short survival course on Mars from Ridley Scott, when the distributors prepared another project that cannot be ignored. Next week will be marked by the return of the best friend of monsters Guillermo del Toro to the horror genre in full-length format. It may seem implausible, but the Mexican visionary, for the first time in his career, turned to the flavor of the Gothic novel. Of course, we are talking about the fantasy horror " Crimson Peak ", which is both a beautiful fairy tale and an eerie dream inhabited by spirits, the existence of which the director has long had no doubt about.According to the confessions of del Toro himself, “ Crimson Peak ” has become one of his three favorite films in his filmography. The film contains a lot of references to "The Devil's Ridge", and visually it resembles the most beautiful work of Guillermo - "Pan's Labyrinth". However, the new film can hardly be considered part of this dilogy, which was once supposed to be a trilogy. Be that as it may, the director's rich professional experience allowed him to largely rework the canons of Gothic stories and present his vision of how the central heroine in trouble should behave, or what the forces of evil will look like. And we remember that monsters in del Toro always turn out to be so charming and charming that it is simply impossible not to fall in love with them. Crimson Peak Duplicate Trailer Such masters of the genre as King of Horrors Stephen King and his son Joe Hill could no longer resist their charm. The writers rated “ The Peak ” on the private preview and were very impressed. They called the picture mesmerizing, spectacular and damn frightening, comparing it to the bloody "Age of Innocence", and their sensations from viewing - with the emotions they experienced when they first saw "Evil Dead" by Sam Raimi. However, nothing else can be expected from a master who not only knows how to tell exciting stories, but also pays great attention to details. To compete with Guillermo for the attention of the audience in the next seven days will be lucky to another beast of the film industry - Robert Zemeckis will present the film " Walk ", based on a true story about like a desperate Frenchman Philippe Petit was so fired up by balancing act that in 1974 he decided to walk no less on a steel rope stretched at a height of 110 floors between the twin towers in New York. The film will not only tell about the preparation of the most dangerous and at the same time shrouded in a romantic halo, but also with the help of advanced technologies will allow the public to see the tightrope walker's promenade through his eyes. The enthusiasm and fervor with which the film crew worked on the project gave him bonus points even before the start at the box office (however, " Walk " has already been released on big screens, but so far only in IMAX, as it was with "Everest"). Zemeckis even invited Petit himself to cooperate. The latter, in turn, was so impressed with the end result that, even knowing the outcome of his walk at a dizzying height, he still sat on the edge of the chair as if on pins and needles and said:If only the guys did it! ”. Walking Tour Extended Dubbed Trailer In order not to spoil the impression of the exciting and masterly filmed tape, let's not say whether the trick was a success for the heroes, but Robert and his team, judging by the reaction of overseas critics, everything turned out as it should. And it is not surprising, because the director combined reality and fiction in such an intricate way that watching, in fact, a biography on the screen, viewers will expect that the words"In a certain kingdom, in a certain state"will be heard. this plot seems so incredible. Zemeckis director, starring Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Philippe Petit consultant and visual effects supervisor Kevin Baillie managed to create an ode not so muchto the "madness of the brave"how much human love for your business. The USA film industry next week will be marked by the drama " Homeland " by Pyotr Buslov with a dubious message and a barely perceptible ambiguous morality. It tells about the life of our compatriots in the third most popular resort after Turkey and Egypt - in Goa. Moreover, most of the characters, seduced by the exotic entourage and cheapness, moved there for permanent residence and already across the ocean they send curses to the irrelevant homeland. Homeland Trailer Several parallel storylines, repulsive for the most part heroes and decadent philosophy with a claim to relevance - this is what the new project of the director "Vysotsky" and "Boomer" is all about. And most importantly, Buslov even tries to answer eternal questions like"Who is to blame?"and"What to do?". True, the answers of the director claiming the laurels of Alexei Balabanov boil down to one thing - the USA mentality is to blame for everything. But Goa, from Indian national costumes flashing in the frame, and ending with narcotic trips, is just a decoration. The same events could have unfolded even in St. Petersburg wells, even in the provinces. For those who prefer arthouse art rather than high-budget blockbusters and author's horror with top stars in the lead roles, we advise you to pay attention to the European novelties, which are preparing for release this week. This is especially deserving of the debut full-length film of the Turkish woman living in Paris Denise Gamze Erguven , the drama “ Mustang ”. The critically acclaimed script by Denise and Alice Vinokur focuses on the story of teenage sisters who, from childhood, have to defend their right to independence, freedom from conservative conventions and personal happiness. It is interesting that the director managed to combine in her film respect for traditions and a powerful feminist message, condescension to the older generation and her own freedom-loving spirit. Mustang USA-language trailer " Mustang ", first shown at the Cannes Film Festival and won the approval of audiences there, was nominated by France for the " Oscars - 2016 " in the category "Best Film in a foreign language ". The French National Center for Film and Animation considered the picture to be very relevant, affecting many social problems that occur not only in this country, but throughout Europe. As a reminder, “ Mustang ” will have to compete for the opportunity to be included in the shortlist with Nikita Mikhalkov's USA drama “Sunstroke”. Finally, fans of Benedict Cumberbatch's talent, languishing in anticipation of a special Christmas episode of Sherlock ( Sherlock ), can enjoy the actor's outstanding performance on the stage: he will try to find the answer to the classic questionTo be or not to be? "staged by" Hamlet ". This becomes possible for our viewers thanks to the National Theater Live project, within which the most daring modern performances are transferred from Britain directly to the big screens of our country. Hamlet Trailer with USA subtitles Note that one of the first such experiments was the play "Frankenstein" with the same Cumberbatch and another Holmes - Johnny Lee Miller. This production has become dearly loved by those cinephiles who also see themselves as theatergoers. As for Benedict , his performance is definitely worth giving him a couple of hours of your life, because in terms of power and energy he is not inferior to the work of an actor in a big movie. However, it is better to see once. And in this case, the saying has a literal meaning - in USA cinemas " Hamlet " has received only one day so far.
