PROGRAM KINOTEKE Srpanj 2017.

KUĆNA NJEGA
Domácí péce, 2016. Slávek Horák, 92 min. CZ
Scenarij: Slávek Horák
Uloge: Bolek Polívka, Alena Mihulová, Tatiana Vilhelmová
   Gorko-slatka humorna drama o suočavanju sa smrtnosti ispričana vedrim stilom češke seoske dramedije. Debitantski film Sláveka Horáka (Variety ga je uvrstio među 10 mladih redatelja čije vrijeme tek dolazi) bio je češki kandidat za nagradu Oscar... 
   Njegovateljica Vlasta predano brine o svojim hirovitim pacijentima u južnomoravskoj ruralnoj regiji. Kada otkrije da boluje od raka i da joj je i samoj potrebna pomoć, morat će je potražiti izvan njoj poznatog područja. Zahvaljujući kćeri jednog od njenih pacijenata i njenoj ezoteričnoj mentorici, Vlasta počinje otkrivati područje alternativne medicine, ali i sebe samu. Na sve to njezin suprug Lad’a gleda s podsmijehom. Vlasta se stoga istovremeno mora boriti i sa svojom bolešću, i sa “zdravim razumom” svoga supruga.  

   Snažno se usredotočujući na autentičnost priče i glumačkih ostvarenja, 'Kućna njega' sažima i kontrastira komično i tragično, svakidašnje i svevremensko, u emocionalnom putovanju sredovječne žene do samootkrivenja.

Scenarij: Paolo Virzi`
Uloge: Valeria Bruni Tedeschi, Micaela Ramazzotti, Valentina Carnelutti, Marco Messeri, Anna Galiena, Tommaso Ragno, Bob Messini, Sergio Albelli, Marisa Borini
   Beatrice je samozvana milijarderka i grofica koja živi u svojem svijetu mašte i voli puno pričati. Ujedno voli misliti da je bliska sa svjetskim vođama. Donatella je tetovirana, introvertna i osjetljiva mlada žena okupirana vlastitim tajnama. Njih obje pacijentice su u vili Biondi, naprednoj, ali izoliranoj psihijatrijskoj klinici...
   Novi film Paola Virzija govori o nepredvidljivom i dirljivom prijateljstvu koje se razvija između dviju žena dok bježe iz umobolnice u potrazi za ljubavlju i srećom u ludnici na otvorenom – u svijetu mentalno zdravih. (MFF Press)
   Sjajan film o dvije žene u mentalnoj instituciji koji izbjegava zamke na koje bi takav scenarij mogao naići i koji se može pohvaliti ukusnim dijalozima s rijetkim osjećajem ravnoteže... (Jay Weissberg, Variety)
   Valeria Bruni Tedeschi je pravo otkriće - kombinira sirovu senzualnost Anne Magnani s melankoličnom introspekcijom Monice Vitti... (Mick LaSalle / San Francisco Chronicle)
   Snažan i privlačan pogled na prijateljstvo, slobodu i tanko područje između zdravlja i ludila... (Gary Goldstein / Los Angeles Times)
   Velike predstave Valerie Bruni Tedeschi i Micaele Ramazzotti sidro su ove filmske komedije inspirirane Italijom... (Maria Garcia / Film Journal International)

Lazar, 2016. Svetozar Ristovski, 102 min. MK / HR / FR / BU PULA 2016. NAGRADA PUBLIKE
Scenarij: Svetozar Ristovski, Grace Lea Troje
Uloge: Vedran Živolić, Goran Navojec, Dejan Lilik, Nataša Petrović, Vlado Jovanovski, Toni Mihajlovski, Krasimira Kuzmanova, Aleksandar Sano, Aleksandra Balmazovič
   Makedonija danas. Inteligentan i diskretan, Lazar radi kao mamac čija je funkcija navesti policiju na krivi trag. Osim toga, nadzire prebacivanje nezakonitih migranata preko granice u Europsku uniju. Financira ga lokalni kriminalac pa tako uzdržava svoju obitelj novcem koji zaradi od trgovine ljudima. Zaljubljuje se u mladu studenticu te počinje razmišljati o tome da promijeni svoj život. Nerado uvlači šurjaka Tonija u posao trgovine ljudima. Toni je odgovoran za utapanje jednog od migranata, a pred Lazarom je teška odluka... (Mostar Film Festival 2016. – najbolja ženska sporedna uloga / Nataša Petrović); najbolja muška sporedna uloga / Goran Navojec) 
   Producent filma Igor Galo rekao je da je tema filma jako aktualna, ali se film ne treba gledati samo kroz prizmu izbjeglica na granici Makedonije i Grčke, nego izbjeglica cijelog svijeta. “Pomozite svima koliko god možete, u skladu sa svojim svjetonazorom.”
   „Ovaj film napravio sam s namjerom da potakne svijest i suosjećajnost kod ljudi. No, zanimljivo mi je istovremeno promatrati reakciju Evrope koja je ili ekstremno empatična ili okreće leđa priči.“ (redatelj Svetozar Ristovski)

Hymyilevä mies, 2016. Juho Kuosmanen , 92 min. FI/DE/S
Scenarij: Mikko Myllylahti, Juho Kuosmanen
Uloge: Jarkko Lahti, Oona Airola, Eero Milonoff
   Jedno od najvećih iznenađenja i pobjednik prošlogodišnjeg programa Izvjestan pogled u Cannesu, biografska je drama o finskom boksaču, Olliju Mäkiju. Već na početku karijere 1962. ovaj mladić se nenadano nađe u centru medijske pažnje kao prvi Finac koji će se boriti za titulu svjetskog prvaka u perolakoj kategoriji. Iznimno talentiran i skroman, naš junak, pekar iz malog mjesta, zatečen je ulogom nacionalnog heroja u koju su ga smjestili menadžer i mediji, te trapava dokumentarna filmska ekipa koja ga posvuda prati. Ali Mäki ne dijeli njihov entuzijazam i ambicije jer je zaokupljen nečim mnogo važnijim: upravo je pronašao ljubav svog života - Raiju. Sportski uspjeh, medijska pažnja i nacionalni ponos pred pravom ljubavlju nemaju ni teoretske šanse! (Finski kandidat za Oscara)

   Three stories take place during a single night. All these stories involve Ivo in different ways. Gradually, we gain a gloomy picture of Ivo’s life and the area where he lives, stuck in war, imprisoned by it; as is Ivo, by his crime.
   Tri priče koje se događaju u jednoj noći postupno grade sumornu sliku Ivina života, ali i čitavog kraja, koji je, jednako kao i Ivo svojim davnim zločinom, ostao zaustavljen i zarobljen ratom.

   When Marijana's dominant father falls seriously ill, she takes over his role as the head of the family, taking care of her irresponsible mother and mentally disabled older brother. The new power hierarchy allows her to explore her sexuality and inner strength, giving her a taste of freedom.

Dok njezini neodgovorni majka i brat situaciju čine sve težom, Marijana radi dva posla kako bi ih uzdržavala. Kada stvari postanu nepodnošljivima, ona počne iskušavati svoje osobne granice susretima s nepoznatim muškarcima. No odlučiti što bi zapravo trebala učiniti sa svojom slobodom, veliko je iskušenje.

Screenplay / Scenarij: Damir Čučić
Cast / Uloge: Milivoj Beader, Mate Gulin
   „A Letter to My Dad“ is a film that is best described as a drama-documentary hybrid. It is based on real events but is structured like a live-action feature film. The central theme is the relationship between a particular father and son, or more precisely, their communication issues. The characters are Mate (70) and his son Milivoj (44). The film has three distinct sections: an intimate confession from the son, a portrait of the father and a confrontation between the father and son. („A Letter to My Dad“ won four Golden Arenas, including the one for best film)
   „Pismo ćaći“ hibridna je forma dokumentarnog i igranog filma. Temelji se na stvarnim događajima, ali je strukturiran kao dugometražni igrani film. Radnja se bavi odnosom oca i sina, odnosno preciznije, njihovim problemima u komunikaciji. Protagonisti filma su Mate (70) i njegov sin Milivoj (44), a sastoji se od tri dijela: intimne ispovijedi sina, očevog portreta i konfrontacije između njih dvojice.

   When Marijana's dominant father falls seriously ill, she takes over his role as the head of the family, taking care of her irresponsible mother and mentally disabled older brother. The new power hierarchy allows her to explore her sexuality and inner strength, giving her a taste of freedom.
   Nakon što joj otac strada od moždanog udara, Marijana zauzima njegovo mjesto glave obitelji. Dok njezini neodgovorni majka i brat situaciju čine sve težom, Marijana radi dva posla kako bi ih uzdržavala. Kada stvari postanu nepodnošljivima, ona počne iskušavati svoje osobne granice susretima s nepoznatim muškarcima. No odlučiti što bi zapravo trebala učiniti sa svojom slobodom, veliko je iskušenje.

Screenplay / Scenarij: Ante Tomić, Rajko Grlić
Cast / Uloge: Nebojša Glogovac, Ksenija Marinković, Dejan Aćimović, Božidar Smiljanić
   Four people in the same building avoid each other because of differences in material status, sexual orientation, nationality, and religion. They probably would have never exchanged a word had misfortune not brought them together. Slowly and painfully, they begin opening up to each other and recognizing the essential humanity each of them possesses.
   Priča o četvero ljudi koji žive u istoj zgradi i zaziru jedni od drugih jer se razlikuju po imovinskom statusu, seksualnoj orijentaciji, nacionalnosti i vjeri. I vjerojatno nikada ne bi prozborili da ih nesreća na to ne natjera. Mučno i bolno, oni se postupno počinju otvarati i prepoznavati kao ljudi.

   Three stories take place during a single night. All these stories involve Ivo in different ways. Gradually, we gain a gloomy picture of Ivo’s life and the area where he lives, stuck in war, imprisoned by it; as is Ivo, by his crime.
   Tri priče koje se događaju u jednoj noći postupno grade sumornu sliku Ivina života, ali i čitavog kraja, koji je, jednako kao i Ivo svojim davnim zločinom, ostao zaustavljen i zarobljen ratom.
