Berlinale promptly grows. Hollywood celebrities,
Which as if rain drops, fell down on festival, have involved
Attention to itself, having selected it at directors and filmmejkerov. Steady
Stream of such actors, as George Kluni, Leonardo di Caprio, Mett Damon
And Gvinet Peltrou, has collected huge crowd of fans and has called a stream
Publications in a press. Thus, Berlinale began to follow
To tendencies which already correct for a long time ball in Cannes.
If earlier in the attention centre in Berlin there were briefings, where advantages
Films unshaven directors and a narrow circle of film journalists, discussed
This year in the foreground numerous press conferences of stars. On
Festival the record quantity for this forum is accredited
Journalists - more than 3 thousand And even German chancellor Herman Schrц?der and
President Johannes Rau have found time to visit festival.
However the new state of affairs does not please director Berlinale. "When I
Began 20 years ago, directors were stars, and actors only
Provided gossips in newspaper columns, - 59-year-old Moritz de has told
Halden which heads festival since 1979 - Unfortunately,
The TV has changed all. The universal tendency to leave is observed
From discussion of films and actually a cinema to a cult of stars. It
Weakens dialogue which is required to journalists and founders of cinema. But
We believe, that we can establish balance. Films for critics. Films
For the mass spectator. And for directors ".
The Berlin festival always was not only a place where opened
Little-known directors, but also a place, where directors from East
Europe could get experience and show the
Anticommunistic pictures. Mr. de Halden long time tried
To constrain domination of Hollywood, strictly limiting quantity
The American films in competition. "But an echo of mass media in
This year simply fantastic ", - director Berlinale has noted.
Similar, that after a present Berlin film festival Europeans
Will reconsider the point of view concerning Americans, American
Way of life and the American cinema. Whether hardly each picture from the USA from
Entering into this year in the festival program has as the main thing
The hero or the person with deviations in mentality, or simply unfortunate,
The inhabitant stirred up by a life - anything from a habitual American fairy tale
And a healthy smile in thirty two teeth.
In a film "Hotel for one million dollars" (The Million Dollar Hotel) authors
Draw an unattractive picture of a life los-andzhelesskogo a bottom - beggars,
Vagabonds and homeless children. In the same "glossy" Los Angeles
Action of a tape "Magnolia" (Magnolia), where heroes is developed
There are the members of an average family tormented most different
Problems: hero Tom Cruise hardly dares at appointment to the
The dying father who has left twenty years ago a family; the his sister,
Taking a great interest in cocaine, also has not saved pleasant memoirs about
To the daddy who repeatedly solicited own daughter. Even better"
The hero of a film "Talented Mr. Ripli" (The Talented Mr. Ripley) -
Actor Mett Damon plays the guy, from melancholy on "a normal life"
The killing rich friend liked and hated
Simultaneously. Hero Leonardo di Caprio in a film is pathologically false
"Beach" (The Beach).
"America - the huge country in which there is everything, from the worst to
The best, - the director of festival Moritz de Halden considers. Is
That, for what like it. All these films criticising a society, are
The best in the market ".
Mentioned above Leonardo di Caprio, arrived to Berlin on display
"Beach" which goes out of the competitive program, has called a hysterics at
The juvenile fans, wishing though with half an eye to see
Idol. Crowds young fanatok occupied all approaches to a hall Berlin
Palace where in Sunday there passed film display. Journalists behaved
Not much better, having bombarded the unfortunate actor questions on its love
Adventures in London, whence it has arrived. All this agiotage
"Works" on reputation of a star, but essentially harms to reputation
Film though "Beach" - last job of director Denni Boyle - was
It is warmly met by criticism.
