Stalingrad (2013)
Stalingrads
Two movies with the same title, the German made Stalingrad (1993) and 20 years younger Russian Stalingrad (2013) had some similarities but also important differences in their depicting of historically important battle from 1942/43.
Both movies have thematic content that resembles each other. Besides shoeing us the same event, the same place and the same time, Stalingrads have a few important motives in common. Namely, spectators ate witnesses of a tragic situation of women who are forced to become mistresses of the conquerors and now fall in risk to be shot by their "liberators". In some way similar situation are German - Russian couples which are in danger from both sides.
Stalingrad (2013), as expected, will attract public with spectacular, state of the art, scenes which were not available at the time Stalingrad (1993) was made. Another advantage of the newer film is start of the story in Stalingrad during the battle. Characters of the former are hard to track since they completely change their appearance during the battle. On the other hand, German version is way better in depicting horrors of war, everyday sufferings from fear, exhaustion, hunger, illness, cold, friendly fire and wounds. In this aspect Stalingrad (2013) is little more than a fairy tale in which heroic Russian soldiers beat evil Germans despite all the odds and only one person suffering from lice is no one else but a German general.
So if you are making video clips about war be sure to check S(2013). But if you had a grandfather who fought in this battle S(1993) will be more informative. For other purposes we will have to wait for another 10 or 20 years.
V gorakh Yugoslavii (1946)
In Yugoslav Mouintains
Have you ever heard of "Partisan move" genre? Epic spectacles like "Sutjeska" or more western styled "Valter Brani Sarajevo" (Walter defends Sarajevo)? Well this may be the very first Partisan move ever made in Yugoslavia. The film was made in 1946 by Soviet "Mosfilm" which caused it to be practically forbidden and forgotten soon after it was made due to complicated international relation between two countries.
Apart for being made by Soviet company, most of the cast was from the Soviet Union and the language used in move is mostly Russian.
Story line is based on true events but with highly exaggerating moments regarding effectiveness of armed struggle. This features will become characteristic of Partisan move genre in general.
The plot follows the life of Slavko Babić, an imaginary character during WWII. Slavko is an ordinary Bosnian peasant who becomes an officer in Tito's Partisan army. A course of events typical for tens of thousands Yugoslavs from that era. Slavko's story is followed by explanation of important events on Yugoslavian and even Soviet front. These explanations, which are partially played by actors and partially told by narrator can be a little bit boring if you are already familiar with general moments like Tito's plan for crossing Neretva river for example.
Costumes used in the movie are quite authentic, although it is strange to see that not a single person from village is dressed like somebody from a town or vice versa. On the other hand, depicting of "Kolo" (national dance) are by the far the funniest moments in this movie.
This is a classical film with techniques of dramatization and way of acting similar to other black and white films. However, this film has great historical value. It is made almost immediately after the war, before layers of myths have enveloped human memory.
Dogville (2003)
Excellent movie
If you are looking for a film which can really make you question your way of life and view of society then avant-Gard drama "Dogvill" would be the right choice for you.
The plot of the move is set in a remote small town somewhere in USA during the prohibition era. A young girl named Grace, played by Nicole Kidman, comes to this imaginary town called Dogvil where meats locals. Gradually she becomes familiar with their way of life, personalities, fears and above all with their hypocrisy.
The theater like setting (no walls etc.) giving the impression of everybody's awareness of evil deeds which are happening. This way director achieves the effect of guilt transmission and making spectators think about their own social settings, their involvement and responsibility.
Dogvill definitely deserves significant place in history of film as a monument of brave and uncompromising criticism of society. Although I would not recommend this move to people who do not feel the moral issue is important in their lives, to children under the age of 16 and to those who suffer from serious depression.
