Masterpieces of auteur cinema at the festival Cineticle Art Cinema

MOSCOW. The three largest cities in Russia host the Cineticle Art Cinema festival.

The new Cineticle Art CinemaCineticle festival of auteur cinema is a successful experience of the activity of the popular webzin in the field of independent film distribution. Thanks to him, three megalopolises got the opportunity to get acquainted with fresh arthouse hits without waiting for gifts from movie distribution. Moscow - at the end of September, Novosibirsk - from October 7 to 9. The final point will be set on October 12 in St. Petersburg. The program includes the Portuguese film Correspondence (Correspondências), the South Korean drama Right Now, Wrong then, and the French History of Judas (Histoire de Judas).

The script for Rita Azevedo Gomes’s film “Correspondence” with Eva Truffaut and Pierre Leon is based on an invaluable epistolary legacy - the long-standing correspondence of the Portuguese poetess and politician Sophia de Mello Breyner andresen and Jorge de Sena, forced to spend many years away from his homeland for political reasons. His extensive archive contains messages from Brainer, the Portuguese thinker and publicist Eduard Lawrence, other colleagues and friends who also suffered during the 40-year reign of dictator Salazar. Gomesh is a participant in the recent Locarno Film Festival.

A thoughtful viewer will certainly reflect on her aching nostalgic intonation. The Portuguese Saudadi, the longing for the departed, departing, more unattainable, which pervades this quiet film, is understandable to those who watch it here and now.

The “History of Judah” by Rabah Ameur-Zaïmeche, one of the leaders of contemporary French author’s cinema, is the rehabilitation of a character hated for centuries, the restoration of historical justice, a new look at the situation that influenced the fate of an entire nation. The picture “Right now, not after” (Right now, Wrong then) by South Korean director Hong Sang Soo, who won Locarno 2015, is a two-act deja vu, groundhog day from the life of a romantic hero Ham Jong Soo, impossible in real life, and the universally recognized masterpiece of arthouse cinema.
