To achieve public applause at Berlinale you need to shoot a good movie. Guillaume Nickle, director of a number of mainstream thrillers realized his dream - he filmed a book by Denis Diderot "La religieuse". And tore applause after a Sunday show.
France, 60 years of XVIII century. A young man returns home to his seriously ill father. Before going to bed, he notices a manuscript on the table, "Memoirs of Suzanne Simonin." "My father was a lawyer. He married my mother, being no longer young, and had by her three daughters, "- tell the first lines.
Suzanne (Pauline Etienne), a beautiful and musically gifted young lady, had the imprudence to admit the mother of her love for God. To reduce costs and successfully extradite two daughters married, the spouse Simonin sent Suzanne to a convent. At first, she thinks that she will be there for one year, but the family priest, who had come to her, informed an unpleasant news: according to the decision of the parents she needs to take vows and become a nun. Susanna has no desire to stay in the monastery. In addition, she is the result of betrayal mother, fell in love in a marriage in a handsome man.
The mother pleads Suzanne redeem her sins and to stay in the monastery. The girl agrees with a heavy heart. Her life of the nun turned to hell when replacing old mentor comes hearted sadist sister Christina (Louise Bourgoin). Suzanne tries to find a way to leave the monastery and wants to give up her vows. After experiencing a lot of humiliation, the girl is in the new monastery. Despite the comfortable cell and friendly nuns, the living in it is not too easy: Suzanne is a favorite of prioress, Sister Teresa (Isabelle Huppert), who is rather strict with other sisters.
For the director William Nickle "La religieuse" has become a matter of life. "I nurtured this project from my youth" - confessed director. But at 13, Guillaume discovered sex and music, religion and passion has faded into the background. "Discovered punk and anarchy, I began to read everything on the eyes will fall, including" nuns ". The book made a deep impression, I will remember it for a lifetime. "
Only three years ago, Nickle was able to start the novel adaptation of Diderot. The director, who had by this time, an atheist, has decided not to focus on the promise of the book anticlerical and remove ode freedom. "Diderot was not against religion, he spoke out against religious fanaticism. Deep down Suzanne denies her faith in God, she just struggles to express it in a way she thought was right for herself. "
Thus, the "Nun" has undergone some changes and become closer to the modern world. "My seventeen year old daughter last year discovered the book and said that it is still important. Some religions still treat women very badly - the director said at a press conference. - We still live in a patriarchal society, where women are denied the right to freedom of expression of thought, for religious or cultural reasons. "
The real discovery of the film has become an actress, who plays Suzanne, Belgian Pauline Etienne. "I called her for the audition, and when Pauline came into the room, I felt a range of emotions that fit the word" blessing. " She has the inner strength and the extraordinary peace. "

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.

Michael Winterbottom film "The Look of Love" at the Berlin Film Festival is displayed at the Gala section, that is not included in any of the competitive programs. Yet it echoes with many topics of festival pictures, as the story of a successful businessman who made his fortune on a naked woman's body.
The protagonist of "The Look of Love" - a real character Paul Raymond, in 1992, became the richest man in Britain. "Not bad for a guy from Liverpool, who had only five coins in his pocket, right?" - said Paul, when he was surround reporters on the streets of Soho in the early 1960s. That he has made this area a popular: his private clubs with a colorful show, which involved mostly naked girls had incredible success. It was not just a strip, and complex case presentations, and Winterbottom shows the passion with which Raymond suited to each new show and project.
This passion for the presence of naked beauties around the set could not affect his family life. From his wife (Anna Friel), he goes to one of his actresses - Amber (leggy babe Tamsin Egerton), which then becomes a separate cultural phenomenon, named Fiona Richmond.
Raymond buys a huge amount of real estate in Soho, the press calls him the "King of Soho". Fiona is not enough for him. Richmond goes to live with his friend daughter Deborah, who grew up in the budding singer. True, the show, which was produced by Paul for Deborah, falls, and the girl, blaming all over herself, finds solace in cocaine, marriage and children. However, the feeling that she could not be as successful as her father did not leave her. And in 1992, she died in the home of an acquaintance after heroin overdose.
It is for these reflections, the audience first sees Paul - gray, crushed and revising old videos. But then he begins to remember his bright, cheerful and successful life, and the audience along with him completely immersed in it. "I'm friends with all the Beatles, except, of course Yoko Ono. And Ringo even had a hand in the design of my apartment!"- Likes to mention hero of Steve Coogan.
His speech was interspersed with jokes and quotes of Wilde. He generally seems embellished Winterbottom: Real Raymond swore that a child has not read a single book, so as not to spoil the taste of his feeling for the mass audience. Raymond Coogan is stylish, but not vulgar way of life, this is the "king of Soho" loved gold trinkets and rode on a gold Rolls Royce. Paul Raymond's life - local star in London, but little known outside the islands. He was an adventurer. But Winterbottom focuses on the relationship of Raymond with three women: his wife, Jean, his mistress Fiona and daughter Deborah.
"It was a very interesting character, because he did not know the membership of the pornography business, and popular culture almost forgotten him. And the British, you know, a very peculiar attitude to sex. Certainly the Germans or the French attitude to sex is more comfortable. Paul Raymond was a very complex character. He has brought up in a Catholic environment, he had a very clear understanding of what he can do, and what not, and it is mixed with the ideas of the sexual revolution and feminism, "- said Coogan about his character at a press conference in Berlin.
Winterbottom film - is a journey through three decades of carefree, and the director skillfully recreates on screen every age. Recreated even shows, that are put on the stage of his theaters and clubs. "We had a similar problem during the filming of "Hour Party People". In the "look of love", we talk about the man for 30 years, and it may happen that you are shooting the end of 1950, and the next day you have already the middle of the 1970s. And sometimes you shoot two times in a day”, - told reporters Winterbottom.
The film will be released in cinemas from March 8.
