VENICE, September 11. Directed by Alexander Sokurov says his film "Faust", which received the "Golden Lion" at Venice Film Festival, began the study of national character. Note that the picture was taken in the German language with German actors.

"It was very important that there is a German character, not only in linguistic and philosophical sense, but in a color breaking", - quotes the director of RIA "Novosti".

Sokurov has said that while preparing for the shooting process, looked at lots of pictures of German galleries.

"I conducted a study of color preferences of the German character, with the ultimate experience of German artists," - he admitted. He added that Goethe already knew many things that today directors explore with color correction and other techniques.


According Sokurov, Goethe himself much to comprehend, for example, what happens to color mixing that occurs when there is light.

The director also noted the high professional level of German actors with whom he worked, and hoped someday to meet again with them on the court, if the present financial ability.

Aleksandr Sokurov - a great artist, recognized worldwide.

Sokurov denied the title of honorary citizen of St. Petersburg:[/B][/URL]

27th May awarded new honorary citizens of St. Petersburg. They were a great actor Oleg Basilashvili and "easy teacher" Larissa sheet. Also, for the title was nominated film director Alexander Sokurov. However, the deputies refused to award Sokurov.

The law of the rank of "Honorary Citizen" says that a title may be the one who glorifies the city in the country and the world, who are fighting for the ideals of freedom and democracy. The film "Faust" Sokurov has received the top prize in Venice Film Festival in 2011, the year. In March 2012, together with the director Yuri Shevchuk and artist Dmitry Shagin sent an appeal to the governor of the city: in it they expressed their indignation at the unwarranted arrest of St. Isaac's Square.
Sokurov has acted against the awarding Communist faction, accusing the director of "distorting the image of Lenin," in one of his films. Also spoke against the MP from the "United Russia" Milonov. He described the work of Sokurov's "blasphemous". Milonov already "famous" as a champion of morality, becoming the initiator of the law against "homosexual propaganda".

I do not like Sokurov. There is something aversive , contrary and his films so delighted just to the border , as in American movies , not " truth" , and a talented fiction , sparkling and interesting. In general, where politics begin isksstvo ends there . Once again I am convinced by the example of Sokurov.

The funny thing is that the officials did not convince, they go to the conference, listen to each other , learns demagoguery, cleverly wrapped in a word and then give it as an argument .

And not only officials <! - ~ 7 ~ ->

It is precisely formulated. But officials - not necessarily intellectuals , they are just artists ( executive elements of the system). Another thing is when the thinking part of society begins to behave this way.

" they're just performers ." <! - ~ 7 ~ ->

They " sing " that instead of education - one brown. We recently passed a law (or amendment, do not know exactly what, but it applies) , that person graduated and received diplomas in private universities (which is 99%- "Horns and hooves " ) can protect a diploma in the state .
That is, in fact, it means - at the state level to legalize their lime .

I really do not know if this law or any by-law may even be a decision of the Ministry. But in general you are right technically , but in fact the parliament - the same officials are either former or future .
 A " deputy" subjectively perceived more as a post, rather than as rank and even more so - calling. <! - ~ 7 ~ ->
