Clearly, the last in my average in reading and even watching. Since the session is fast approaching, I feel compelled to pretend that I'm learning. Pretending to be manifested by a reduction in useful and enjoyable activities (reading, watching), and the increased number of acts and senseless waste of time for (solitaire, skipping through the pages, online games). From time to time I bake it and clean up.
Once I return, but for now I managed to find a really great movie and it just would be a sin not to write about him.
Imagine that you are doomed for life with a man of whom do not know anything. Imagine that you take with him the wedding just because the only alternative would be to a marriage with a person who inspires you pure disgust. Imagine that you are trying to love this person or at least make friends with her, trying to live in peace, but your attempts and intentions are broken through the wall of coldness and indifference of breaking world from your life companion. Imagine that you sank already in depression, when everything stopped zobojętniało and count, the other person suddenly bursts into flaming you sensation, making the storm Your minimum sense of order and balance. What remains? Cold window sill under the bare feet and the space beneath it. In such a situation, she is, a minor title, the film by Mariusz Trelinski. The painting was of course based on the novel by Fyodor Dostoevsky, "Gentle." I read the original several years ago and I remember that made a huge impression on me, but I remember it so poorly that they do not intend to compare the film to him. In addition, it is not really necessary, Trelinski great movie of arms as separate works. His
(Janusz Gajos) know where the bodies of her watches (Dominica Ostałowska), his young wife. He wonders what pushed the woman to commit suicide, what is his fault, he could do better? The problem is that the answer is: everything.
"Gentle", after talks with no agreement, the terrifying loneliness, a sense of hopelessness and fear. Here are all alone. He, an old bachelor, a wealthy but very stingy, who had a difficult past, closed to the world outside, in contact with another man. Very reserved, very cool, very tense. She's delicate, lovely, quiet, never knew love, and her only confidant is a maid (Danuta Stenka), which also does not understand it yet. The young woman, looking at the world the great, glittering eyes, which hides the enormity of grief. Those two, in fact, desperately want to find in each other that for so long for the - understanding, confidence, peace of mind. But I still go by, do not know how to rip in time, are too proud and shut up, to draw hands to himself. At the happy end no chance - he is left alone, staring at her cold body, recounting how bought (sic) it from my aunts, and dreamed that it be treated well, and finally, how to love. The very short episodic scenes are devoted to the characters that she has encountered in its path. Would-be lover, a doctor and the maid will be seated in front of the camera, giving the impression that they testify before the investigators and try to answer the question why? What really happened? No response. Mild
Sonechka reminded me at times with "Crimes and penalties ", this life is constantly being destroyed, cichutką, modest girl, which in some way after all he despised Raskolnikov. But Sonia had asked for the life of Raskolnikov's ray of hope, love, goodness and faith, and yet the man finally learned to love and respect. A minor is not able to save him, or he is unable to save her. In their dark and difficult life there is no person who were to bring joy, hope and faith. She is Sonia devoid of illusions. Sonia, whom he eventually defeated the world, which no longer has power for nothing.
"Mild" is a very modest cost picture, a bit like television drama. The action comes barely two rooms where he lives. Even if the characters will be elsewhere, and quickly return to the stuffy, dark claustrophobic spaces, as if they could not stand the light. Words play a very small role, they say little, and sparingly, and most express a view, curvature of the lips, move your head.
"Mild" is a masterpiece of acting. Gajos is in a class by itself, and here is the peak form. Ostałowska him one bit does not clear, in her beautiful, sad, quiet Mild simply believes. Actors is short, but their episodes are great as usual Stenka Frycz and Peszek. It is worth noting Krystyna Feldman, the actress who played his entire life episodic roles ("the lady in the tram," "saleswoman"), by the end of life shine in "Nikiforze.
"People are alone in the world, the silence around them" - says, looking at the camera Gajos in the final. World "Gentle" is a world without God, without a higher power that would have people cared. Nobody can help us, we will not give a signal, no one save. Following her was only silence, interrupted by his muffled sobs.
Recently 'Gentle' is often aired on Canal +, so I recommend to those who will be able to, watched. If only to see that the Polish cinematography can make great videos, poignant, heart-catching, haunting.
