Elegy "Yi dai zong shi" of Wong Kar-Wai opened the 63rd Berlin International Film Festival. The picture was a real long-term project of director - it took 6 years to design and three years to shoot. But the wait was worth it. Director and the main stars of the picture Zhang Ziyi and Tony Leung Chu Wai presented to journalists their new creation.

The last film of Wong Kar-Wai was released at the big screen in 2007, when "My Blueberry Nights" opened the Cannes Film Festival. On the French Riviera director appeared much more frequently than in the German capital. Among the projects of Kar Wai, were "Happy Together" (the prize for Best Director), "Mood for Love", "2046" and above English-language debut.

"Great Masters" (Yi dai zong shi) are considered the biographical film about Ip Man, the legendary practitioner of martial arts, a representative of the style of wine-chun, a teacher of Bruce Lee. But from the very first frame it's clear that before us is not familiar to all tape from the category of "born-learned-married." Tony Leung Chu Wai, the mascot of Kar-Wai, in a white hat and a long black coat in the pouring rain easily deal with crowds of "experts of Kung Fu."

The action begins in 1936, when Ip Man was already 40 years old. Before this age he did not work and did not need anything ("My parents were so rich and famous, that in the district Foshan was named a street after them"). He married the beautiful aristocrat, lover of music, often went to the "Golden Pavilion", the brothel for the rich ones of this world. But the place with golden walls was also a gathering place for the masters of Kung Fu. Foshan was the center of the southern Chinese martial arts during the Republic of China.

When, in 1936, Japan won the north-eastern provinces of China, the great master Baosen Ghosn, head of the martial arts world in the north, arrived in Foshan. In the "Golden Pavilion" should be held a ceremony in honor of the departure from the post of Gon. Old master fights with young fighters, the best of which is the Ip Man. Daughter of Gon ( Zhang Ziyi) also arrives in Foshan. She's the one who knows the deadly technique of 64 hands. This style will experience Ip Man, but the fight with the girl turns into an elegant and sensual dance. In the end, all the movies of Kar-Wai are about love.

This is only a two-hour tie of the movie, which in the first version of the assembly lasted four hours, but in China it was shown for 2 hours 13 minutes. To cut the ribbon for the international distribution Kar-Wai has decided recently.

The history of Ip Man interested Wong Kar-Wai in 1996. Kar-Wai decided that will tell a story of martial arts of 1911-1949 period, which was a difficult time for China. Director has plunged into research questions and talked with many of the masters of Kung Fu. "You know what surprised me? They are extremely simple and humble people. " This discovery helped the director to build the line and atmosphere of the film. The main thing in "Great masters" - not the biography of Ip Man, although, of course, it is a great place, and a sense of calm and concentration that is required for understanding of martial arts.

It is known that the shooting of the "Great Masters" interrupted for a long time due to financial problems, and because of serious injury of Tony Leung Chu Wai.

Director so enthusiastically talked about the project, that no one was left in doubt: Kar-wai was able to realize his dream. And what was the biggest challenge during the process? "I do not practice kung-fu" - said director.

Richard Linklater, Ethan Hawke and Julie Delpy presented their new film "Before Midnight" at the Berlin Film Festival. "Before Midnight" - the continuing story of Jesse and Celine, who met in the film "Before Sunrise" and met again nine years later in "Before Sunset."

In 1995 at the Sundance Festival has been premiere of Richard Linkleyter movie "Before Sunrise." The film attracted attention of critics: its characters, twenty years American Jesse (Ethan Hawke) and Frenchwoman Celine (Julie Delpy), were not similar to the standard characters of comedies. Jesse and Celine have met in the train on the way from Budapest to Paris, and Jesse convinces Celine to visit Vienna and spend time with him before his trip to the States. They walk around the city, talking about everything, kiss on the Ferris wheel and spend an exciting night in the park. In the morning they told goodbye to each other and agreed to meet in six months at the station in Vienna, leaving no contact with each other in order to avoid disappointment.

However, the meeting did not take place in Vienna. This audience will know of the sequel, which was released in 2004. Jesse has written a book about their adventure with Celine in Vienna, came to present it in Paris, and met Celine at the presentation. At this time, they had only a couple of hours before Jesse leaving to the airport, but the film ends with a hint that Jessie missed his flight and stayed in Paris apartment of Celine.

In "Before midnight" heroes are over forty. The events disclose what happened after the meeting in Paris. The action takes place in Greece, where Jesse, who became a professional writer, comes at the invitation of colleagues to spend six weeks in residence for writers. The first part of the film is devoted to arguments about love. Along with new friends, heroes discuss what will be the future, and old friend of the house tells how every morning she forces herself to remember the features of the deceased husband, in order not to lose him a second time.

In the second part of the film Jesse and Celine are alone: they walk around the city and recognize each other's fears and frustrations that accompanied them last decade. Celine constantly accuses Jesse, and instead of romantic night, which they had to spend the last day of their stay in Greece, there is a showdown in a raised voice. It seems that the characters are close to part forever.

On show for journalists honed dialogues evoked a strong reaction of the audience: laughter rang constantly. Disappointment in marriage, depression, associated with childbirth, the extinction of the senses, routine sex - all these topics are discussed with wit heroes are worthy of the pen of Oscar Wilde.

Trio praised Greece, where the shooting took place. "Originally I had in mind a few countries that I was going to visit to choose a location for shoot - explains Linkleyter. - Greece was the first of its kind, I came back to eye on a few places, met people, and immediately made the decision, canceling all other trips. It is a Greek film, in a sense. "

Should we wait for the fourth movie of Jesse and Celine? Final "Before midnight" provides hope for it. One journalist even suggested a name: "Before ...". "While we do not have any ideas on this. It will take 5-6 years before we started talking about it. Perhaps the characters really begin a new phase in life that would be interesting to tell. But who knows?” said director of the movie.

Matt Damon, John Krasinski and Gus Van Sant presented at the Berlin Film Festival the film "Promised Land." Unhurried drama about a small farming town, Damon and Krasinski believe the story of the national character of the Americans.

"Promised Land" begins with the fact that Steve Butler (Matt Damon), a member of the energy company Global Crosspower Solutions, gets promotion at work. He, together with co-worker Sue (Frances McDormand) travels to Pennsylvania farmland and buys from farmers the right to use land for the production of natural gas. To insinuate to the common people's confidence, Steve and Sue even bought clothes at a local store, putting on more familiar to farmers and quilted flannel shirt jackets.

Steve, who hails from Iowa and watched his hometown of dying after the closure of the plant in it, sure that gives a hope to the poor for a better life. The money, they receive from the Global, help them send their children to a regular school and live better. However, in a small American town, where everyone knows each other, it is not enough to secure contracts with individual farmers. Need the support of the entire community. It was a general meeting residents he encounters criticism from scientists Frank Yates (Hal Holbrook) - teacher in the local school, which tells the villagers about the possible consequences for the environment - water, air and soil, making farming and ranching virtually impossible.

Frank's authority is too strong, and the farmers take three weeks to think.

This drama was to be the directorial debut of Damon, but due to time constraints, the director's chair has gotten Gus Van Sant, with whom he worked on the film "Good Will Hunting" and "Jerry".

"John and I wanted to make a film about the American identity. A particular problem was selected afterwards. We wanted to explore what state we are now, how to make important decisions. What is important for us and what is not? Do we think about our neighbors, about the future? And the history of the gas went up best, because the risks are very high, and the impact on the environment issue has divided society into two fronts, and constantly discussed"- Matt Damon told reporters.

"I think, subconsciously, the idea emerged as a dedication to my father, who grew up in a small town near Pittsburgh. He told me about how strong was the feeling of community as residents gathered to address issues and support each other in difficult times and have always believed that tomorrow will be better than today. It seemed to me that we are so far removed from it as a nation. I wanted to remind you that this relationship between the people still exist and can be proud of "- shared by John Krasinski.

While writing the script Damon and Krasinski have traveled many farms in Pennsylvania, talked to people and have thoroughly studied the processes of production of natural gas by hydraulic fracturing - that the technology is used by the company Global in the movie. However, the creators did not want to go into science and lead in the film debate about the advantages and disadvantages of a particular technology. "This film is not about the gas, but of choice" - Damon said, adding that during interviews with farmers faced with a completely polar opinions.

What’s going on with “Oscar” nominees? Fresh details 1

Announcement of "Oscar" nominees has never been so informal. Typically the president read out the names of the lucky ones together with the actress, who recently won or was nominated for this prestigious award. But Seth MacFarlane played by his rules.

Lets see the main nominees, winners and losers.

At half past five in the morning before reporters appeared actor, director and screenwriter (of all trades) Seth MacFarlane. Director of the comedy "Odd" and creator of TV series "Family Guy" and "American Dad" started with a joke: "I leads "Oscar", but if you do not know me, think I'm Donny Osmond (popular in the 1970s, singer)”.

"I congratulate all the nominees and all who were not nominated. You can stop talking in an interview what a great time you had on the set, "- continued the comedian. Then the stage went up Emma Stone, star of the movie "Hunters in the gang."

Sluggish clapping journalists met the first nominee Christoph Waltz. As it turned out of "Django unchained" only he is nominated, that is Leonardo DiCaprio is again in the span. If compared with the nominee of Actors Guild, you get that slot Waltz won Javier Bardem. All applicants in this category already have an "Oscar" that McFarlane commented sarcastically: "A breath of fresh air!"

Then the display shows nominated for best song, in which the leading of "Oscar" was waiting for surprise: the song Everybody Needs a Friend, from the "Odd" words written by the Seth MacFarlane. "Hey, cool, I was nominated, I will go to the" Oscars "" - joked Seth.

The reaction of the journalists in the room at the time of nominations immediately gives surprise. In "Best Actress" was Jackie Weaver of melodrama "Silver lining playbook". She and Amy Adams, who played the wife in the head of the scientology cult drama "The Master" won applauses. Both actresses did not appear among the nominees for SAG. "Congratulations, ladies, you will not have dressed up for Harvey Weinstein," - said McFarlane.

The last few days, when the guild named their nominees, continued another trend: movie studios TWC, owned by the brothers Weinstein, could not boast a large number of nominations. Harvey is famous for his ability to push films for "Oscars", and other smaller prizes. Nearly two decades of Miramax founders ruled the roost at the "Oscars", so when the announcement of the director's Guild Awards (DGA) was not a single film TWC, around Hollywood there was rumor that this time the majors (Warner, Universal, Fox and Columbia) intend to resist overbearing producer.

In reality, the postponement of the announcement of the nominees dramatically reduced the degree of predictability. DGA has announced their candidates for the prize, the vote for "Oscar" was over. Previously, directors, actors, writers and other guilds have time to influence decisions of cinema academics, but not this time.

TWC have a total of 16 nominations. The studio is located on the fourth place, while the top three is:

20th Century Fox (including Fox Searchlight) - 31 nominations
Sony Pictures Entertainment (including Sony Pictures Classics) - 24 nominations
Walt Disney Co (including Pixar, Marvel and DreamWorks) and Universal (including Focus Features and Working Title) - 17 nominations

But back to this year's nominees. Animation category pleasantly surprised inclusion of English cartoon "The Pirates! In an Adventure with Scientists!" Director Peter Lord responded to this: "Awesome! We tried to shoot "Pirates" a little bit different - in terms of tone and comedy. It's great that it has responded to the film academy!"

Then one by one as if suddenly the categories "Best Foreign Language Film", where there was quite natural Cannes last year's winner "Love" by Michael Haneke. Hardly anyone expected to find a gray-haired director for further nominations of "Oscar" is very rare in the major categories of foreign films. By the way, journalists especially well received nomination of Norwegian drama "Kon-Tiki".

In the category of "Best Adapted Screenplay" looked up dark horse of "Oscar" - jumped out with a film festival "Sundance" drama "Beasts of the Southern Wild". In total, the film, shot in the genre of mystical realism, turned four nominations, but more significant than: Best Picture, Actress, Adapted Screenplay and direction. Ben Zaytlin received award at the Cannes Film Festival "Golden Camera" for best debut.
