Heroi antik-Bekim Fehmiu nga Rade Sherbedzhija

It is said that there are no big actors and actress. It is said that it is fair enough to say that they are big actors and special in their immensity. So I, this time, having as a view to support the brotherhood of our colossus who left prematurely, will write: It past away one of the greatest artists we've had ... Bekim Fehmiu . Legend. Myth. Model He did not even do the half of what he was able to do. It is not that had no time, but because he did not want to. And, meanwhile he did more than everyone in these spaces. Calmly. With maturity. Dignified. There are people - the wise ones, that deserves the face at the very youth. One of them, surely, is Bekim Fehmiu.

Thonë se nuk ka aktorë dhe aktore shumë të mëdhenj. Thonë se është më e drejtë të thuhet se ka aktorë të mëdhenj dhe të veçantë në madhështinë e tyre. Kështu që unë, kësaj here, duke pasur si synim që të mbështes vëllazërinë e kolosëve tanë që janë larguar para kohe, do të shkruaj: U largua një nga I even met happy gypsies artistët më të mëdhenj që kemi pasur... Bekim Fehmiu. Legjendë. Mit. Model... Bekim Fehmiu Mbledhësi i Puplave 1967 Nuk bëri as gjysmën e asaj që mund të bënte. Jo se Best Foreign Language Film - Nominated Oscar s’pati kohë, por sepse nuk deshi. Dhe, ndërkohë, Bekim Fehmiued1 in films 4 appear bëri më shumë sesa gjithkush tjetër në këto between 1953 and 1998. Fehmiu hapësira. Me qetësi. Me pjekuri. Me dinjitet. Ekzistojnë njerëz – të urtët, që fytyrën e vet e wasst the Albanian fir theater and meritojnë qysh në rini. Një nga këta, me siguri, film actors who acted in theater është Bekim Fehmiu. and moviesugoslavia, all over and Y he acted inoles a whole series of r homazh that changed the history of the Cinemaugoslavia of Y and left a mark in the artistic developments BEKIM FEHMIU abroad.

Llazi Serbo e ka nisur karrieren e tij artistike me dramen “Njolla te Murme”, ndërkohë qe do te arrinte ne 100 numri i roleve në skenën e teatrit dhe në ekran. Ndër personazhet që ka lozur vecohet roli i komandantit gjerman ne filmin “Nusja dhe Shtetrrethimi”. Por të paharrueshme në kujtesen e publikut shqipetar do të mbetet dhe figura e Dalanit, ne filmin “Yjet e Netëve të Gjata”, roli i Kreshnik Martinit në filmin “Operacioni i zjarrit”etj. Për kontributin e tij të cmuar në kinematografi dhe kulturën shqiptare, Llazi Serbo u homazh vlerësua me titullin “Artist i Merituar”. Një vit më parë, shtator 2009, Këshilli i Qarkut të Korcës i dha çmimin “Nderi i Qarkut” LLAZI SERBO Goodbye how are you This unique documentary draws on dark-humored aphorisms from the last 40 years of Serbian history for its narrative voiceover: a nation's oral tradition of sardonic response to conflict and corruption. The beautifully selected and wittily juxtaposed images, meanwhile, form an insightful, compelling portrait of daily existence in all its banalities, extremes and ironies. With shades of Patrick Keiller and Chris Marker, this collage of ideas is both thought-provoking and darkly comic.

Ky dokumentar unik shfaq një euforizëm të errët-humoristik nga historia Serbe e 40 viteve të fundit për tregimin e saj narrativ: tradita e përgjigjeve ironike për konfliktin dhe korrupsionin sipas gojëdhënave.

Sometimes, making one unnoticed Shpeshherë kur bën një gabim pa e vënë re mistake is all it takes. For the main të prishet gjithçka. Për personazhin kryesor character in Beyond the Road, the error të “Përtej Rrugës”, gabimi nuk po tregonte was not saying anything right when he asgjë të saktë atëherë kur duhej. Dënimi i should have. His punishment: being tij: i ndodhur në një botë të pavërtetë, plunged into an unreal world, a sort of një lloj purgatori paralel ku gjëja e vetme parallel purgatory where the only thing he që mund të bësh është të presësh. Filmi can do is wait. The film's heavy, rusty është i vështirë, një klimë e zymtë të sjell climate recalls the one in Stalker. ndërmend një Ndjekës.
