Channel One annually pleases us with its new original projects for the most different topics. There are programs for a wide variety of tastes: entertaining, highly social, political and comedy. However, in 2007, a program appeared that was significantly different from all of the above. It was dedicated to one of the most popular areas contemporary art- cinema. It was called " Closed Show".

"Closed Show"

"Closed Screening" is an original program by the famous Russian presenter, actor and film director Alexander Gordon. This man has been one of the most qualified people in his field for several years now. Almost every viewer who regularly watches television broadcasts knows him. It was thanks to the “Closed Show” that Gordon was finally able to secure his status as the most extraordinary and qualified representative domestic television. The “Closed Show” with Alexander Gordon lasted for six years. During this period of time, a huge number of very different issues were released, each of which was distinguished by its originality and high-quality material. Next, we will analyze in detail what this project is, and also find out which films “Closed Screening” presented. A list of the most discussed of them will be presented to the reader below.

What is the show about?

The idea is that films are viewed and then discussed in the studio. “Closed screening” (we will look at a list of some films today) is a program in which the presenter, directors and directors take part in the discussion. film crew. They are given the opportunity to make an opening speech and talk in detail about what exactly the audience is about to see. Also present in the studio are many other qualified artists, such as screenwriters, actors, film critics and many, many others. All of them can express their unbiased opinion after finishing watching the film. Ordinary spectators also take an active part in the discussion, among whom you can meet both young students and older film fans with considerable life experience.

Films "Closed screening": list

Below we bring to your attention an extensive list of the most notable films shown in the “Closed Screening” program. Among several dozen, we have selected for you the best and most talked about films that created a stir:

• "Hunter";
• "Ellipsis";
• "Written by Sergei Dovlatov";
• "Playing the victim";
• "The smell of heather";
• "Another Sky";
• "The Guy from Mars";
• "Bedouin".

"Hunter" (2011 film)

We decided to start our list with this unusual adventure drama by Daniel Nettheim. She was featured in one of the latest issues programs. The plot of this story centers on a lonely man named Martin. He is an experienced hunter and a loner. Martin deliberately avoids human society. The main character has long been tired of life and decides to take on a rather risky task, since he simply has nothing to lose. Having concluded a contract with a fairly influential company, he goes to the little-explored and wild forests of Tasmania. Martin's task is to find and subsequently kill the last Australian tiger, which for several years has been considered a completely exterminated species. During his journey, he comes across a small house where a young woman, Lucy, lives. She recently lost her husband, who went into the forest and did not return from there. What will this meeting lead to?

"The Hunter" is a 2011 film that was quite warmly received by professional critics. In their reviews, they noted the incomparable performance of Willem Dafoe, who does not hesitate to act in low-budget auteur films of this kind. Here he performed one of his best roles recent years. But despite all this, the film failed miserably at the American box office. In Russia, few people followed it either. It is for this reason that we increasingly get the opportunity to see such small masterpieces. Young and talented directors are simply not given money, since their creations do not pay off. We can only hope that the situation will change soon.

"Ellipsis" (2006)

This film, shot by a Russian film director, was shown in the second episode of the program and received a lot of positive feedback from the participants who were in the studio. main character film - a woman named Kira Georgievna. She lives well happy life, which is not much different from a dozen others. She has a beloved husband, nice children, and a very comfortable home. Everything went as usual until Kira’s first husband appeared on the threshold of the house. He spent twenty years in camps. This seriously affected his character and life beliefs. But the only thing remained unchanged - feelings towards the main character. As a result, they begin to meet in secret from her. current husband. But how long can they hide the truth from him?

According to viewers who prefer arthouse cinema to mass cinema, the film "Ellipsis" (Andrey Eshpai, 2006) became one of the strongest works of the year. It was also noted that the film had very strong acting performances worthy of the highest awards. And it’s quite difficult to argue with this. But all this did not help Eshpai’s film collect a decent box office in cinemas.

"Written by Sergei Dovlatov" (2012)

Roma Liberov is one of the youngest Russian directors. He shot his film entitled “Written by Sergei Dovlatov” at only 32 years old. Few people manage to make themselves known so early. The film, created in an extremely atypical manner, tells about the life of an outstanding Soviet and American writer and journalist Sergei Dovlatov. Over the years of his life, he created many different works and also wrote articles. Through various letters, editorial columns and interviews, the director was given the opportunity to show this unusual story.

According to reviews from professional critics, the film “Written by Sergei Dovlatov” (Roman Liberov, 2012) is innovative and has extremely daring direction. It’s rare when debutants gravitate toward experimentation. Instead, many try to create something that will be understandable to a mass audience. But for Roman Liberov, fame did not matter. That is why he was able to create this outstanding documentary-animated film.

"Playing the Victim" (2006)

One of the most famous Russian directors of the 21st century. During his short career, he has already managed to fully reveal his directorial potential and create a considerable number of outstanding film works. Unlike other directors, he is not afraid to raise topical issues in his films. "Playing the Victim" is one of his most notorious director's works, filmed with a considerable amount of black humor.

The plot centers on a young man named Valentin. He recently graduated from college and is now looking for a place to earn money. He didn’t have to search long: almost immediately he managed to get a rather unusual position in the local police department. Vali's task is to portray the victim at crime scenes where the defendants are brought. However, all these investigations take place solely for show, which creates a considerable amount of the absurdity of what is happening.

Viewers overnight elevated the film “Playing the Victim” (Kirill Serebrennikov, 2006) to cult status. Numerous positive reviews continue to pour in to the director’s film to this day. Many movie lovers remember the scene in which one of the characters pronounces a well-known monologue, seasoned with choice obscenities. It was thanks to this fragment that the current generation learned about this film.

"The Smell of Heather" (2011)

Nathanael is a young man who most spends his life on the Internet. So it's not surprising that a virtual reality became much closer and more pleasant for him than the world. After some time, he manages to meet a young girl. But they communicate exclusively via the Internet. But once main character decides to take a serious step. He packs his things and hits the road. He hopes to meet his lover and try to build a real relationship. Will he be able to do this?

The film by little-known director Amet Magomedov was liked by the participants of the “Closed Screening” program. Experts expressed a lot of positive feedback and also praised the performer leading role. But there were also those who were dissatisfied with what they saw. It is possible to understand them. After all, the film “The Smell of Heather” (Amet Magomedov, 2011) is a typical representative of the comedy genre. Yes, there are a lot of interesting ideas in the film, but still expect something grandiose from of this film viewers do not recommend it.

"Another Sky" (2010)

For Dmitry Mamuliy, this film remained the only one in his career. And it’s easy to guess why, looking at the section with the film’s grosses at the domestic box office. For our viewers, the film “Another Sky” (Dmitry Mamulia, 2010) simply went unnoticed. The plot centers on a man named Ali, who travels across Central Asia along with his nine-year-old son. He is trying to do everything possible to find his wife. She left him several years ago, leaving to work. But Ali does not lose hope of finding her and returning her. Will he succeed?

Many note the overall drama of what is happening on the screen. The film is entirely built on understatement. Besides everything else, there is practically not a single positive moment in it. Viewers have repeatedly spoken out about this and complained that it is quite difficult to sit through this until the very end.

"Boy from Mars" (2010)

The film "The Guy from Mars" (Sergei Osipyan, 2010) received the most mixed reviews from critics, but at the same time found a response from ordinary viewers. Many people liked the film due to the presence of light, unobtrusive humor, as well as amazingly chosen actors.

The plot centers on a young man who is an employee of a fairly large chocolate company. For the time being, his business was going well. But one day the situation changed dramatically...

"Bedouin" (2012)

That rare case when all viewers and critics agreed that the film “Bedouin” is definitely worthy of attention. (2012 was the year the film was born) knows a lot about good cinema. His directorial talent is noted by everyone without exception, thanks to which “Bedouin” was able to find success.

The plot centers on a young single mother who faces serious trouble: her daughter falls ill with a serious illness. She needs to collect the necessary amount for the operation as soon as possible. But the heroine has no money. And then, completely desperate, she decides to go to a distant country where diseases are treated in extremely unusual ways...

These are not all the films discussed in the program. The “Closed Show” list was huge, and each item on it is definitely worthy of your attention. Enjoy watching.

“If it weren’t for the Ministry of Culture, we wouldn’t imagine what kind of garbage we watch in cinemas” - this is how, slightly changing the phrase from Ryazanov’s film comedy, we can characterize the hard work of domestic fighters for morality, patriotism and historical truth, entrenched in the “Medinsky Citadel " Still deeply honoring the Soviet legacy, the Ministry of Culture, even a quarter of a century after the collapse of the USSR, continues to decide for viewers what they should watch in cinemas, in what quantity and at what time. Film rental in modern Russia remains an extremely risky business not only because creative reasons, but also because of the sudden dislike of certain films by censors from ministries, deputies, proactive obscurantists, and even the distributors themselves. We have collected most of the most famous scandals related to rentals in Russia, so that viewers understand that dirty tricks can be expected from the most unexpected sides.

Still from the film "Clip"

The Pandora's box of bureaucratic passion for regulation opened in 2012, and its first victim was the Serbian film "Clip", which tells about the problems of growing up teenagers from the territory of the former Yugoslavia. Inspired by the success of “Clip” at the Rotterdam Film Festival, the company “Cinema Without Borders” purchased the film for distribution in Russia, but was unable to obtain permission from the Ministry of Culture - the censors considered the film excessively filled with teenage sex. References to the foreign critical press, the authors’ assertion that all the actors were of age at the time of filming, and the picture reflected the actual situation in society, had no influence on “culturologists” - “Clip” became a hit on torrent trackers, but on the big screen in Russia I didn't see it.

The day before yesterday's program amazed me - or rather, I amazed myself, because before I watched with interest the meetings of savages of varying degrees of civilization, organizing dances on near-cultural themes. It looks like I've finally given up on the show. Gordon's program has crossed the line beyond which the program, in my understanding, should be closed, because... The audience in the studio, just like the presenter himself, who for some reason is considered an intellectual, can no longer express anything new about the state of cinema, much less something useful or in any way fundamental. Tendency to lower the bar, negative selection in action. In the studio, more and more odious figures are drawn, who know how and love to make faces, film critics no longer come here, although, as far as I know, many colleagues refuse invitations so as not to look like idiots after a television edit (by the way, I myself once also refused an invitation).

The level of a particular program fits into the policy of domestic TV, aimed at degradation (which is why Gordon’s brainchild is staying afloat so well). In his desire to shock with rudeness and wash dirty linen in public, Gordon moves towards the audience of Andrei Malakhov’s programs, who entertain with hysteria and squabbles.

It should be emphasized that I like the film “Kakraki” discussed on Friday, but this post is not a gesture of a spat on supporter of the film. Mentally, you can substitute the hated Balabanov in the place of the beaten Demichev - the attitude will remain the same. All the “likes and dislikes” fell outside the brackets of an unprecedented mocking attitude towards people, no matter who they turned out to be - nuggets or losers, businessmen or unmercenaries. There are no supporters in matters of taste, this is a well-known thing, anything can be allowed here. It happens that a film is so disgusting that you don’t want to finish watching it. I understand the situation when authors want to slap them in the face, saying that they are mediocre. By the way, Demichev is by no means mediocre; rather, he is overly down-to-earth and rational. But it’s one thing to “want to say”, or even to speak out on the pages of the press in an appropriate way, and another thing to have the need to spit in people’s faces. Those. want to humiliate your neighbor so much that you are not too lazy to get up from the couch, dress up, come to a television program and, having lost all sense of smell and basic shyness, join in the group beating. With the connivance of the host, the stupid guests reveled in the next attack that achieved the goal; their smug faces were to be seen. The dubious public - Uskov from a glamor magazine, dumb as a log radio presenter Ksenia Strizh, a certain slug who called himself a “writer”, judging by his speeches, tangentially familiar with the Russian language - again realized an attempt to declassify criticism as a genre of creativity, a need for self-examination and what not craft; from the lips of unscrupulous judges, criticism looked pathetic and defective. The prosecutors systematically and vying with each other repeated each other, in which Mr. presenter was especially zealous, showing neither intelligence nor knowledge about the subject. The inquisitors adhered to communication at the level of an Internet leak, their speech was replete with pleonasms, reeked of messianism and petty-bourgeois vulgarity. Having not met the proper barrier, the impostors from criticism turned on the rednecks and began to “extinguish” the creators of the film at all costs, talking about cinema at the level of guests of a program about chanson (the same Swift). What can we say, if Uskov accuses the film of glamor and takes the pose of an offended viewer, allegedly offended by the film’s connection with Gogol’s shadow (just think who’s saying this!) - then, as they say, we’ve arrived. Similar show produced a damning satirical effect on the level Gogol's situations, or the restaurant gathering from the movie Kakraki. But that was hardly Gordon's goal. The Sabbath of critics exposed his transfer, as well as confirmed the realism of Demichev’s painting. But this will not help the transfer.
