    Urso de Prata Melhor Contribuição Artística MILAN MARIC DANILA KOZLOVSKY HELENA SUJECKA ARTUR BESCHASTNY ELENA LYADOVA UM FILME DE ALEKSEY GERMAN JR. ESTREIA 29 DE NOVEMBRO WWW.LEOPARDOFILMES.COM SINOPSE Dovlatov é o mais recente filme de Aleksey German Jr., que pela primeira vez vira a sua câmara para a sua cidade natal, Leningrado, nos anos 70 para mergulhar no burburinho quotidiano de uma franja de intelectuais soviéticos dissidentes, Sergei Dovlatov, Joseph Brodsky, entre outras referências a reconhecidos gigantes literários do século XX, que não passarão despercebidos (Yevtushenko, Mandelstam, Steinbeck , Nabokov. Inspirado na obra “O Ofício” (1985), agora em edição portuguesa, pela Editora Antígona, Dovlatov, de Aleksey German Jr., acompanha seis dias na vida do brilhante escritor russo. « Porque a liberdade não possui ideologia. A liberdade favorece na mesma medida o bom e o ruim. A liberdade é como a lua, que ilumina, indiferente, o caminho do predador e da vítima. » SERGEI DOVLATOV, “O OFÍCIO” « “O Ofício” (1985) O árduo ofício de escrever, pelo qual Dovlatov lutou com unhas, dentes e uma Underwood — não é um livro, mas dois: “O Livro Invisível” e “O Jornal Invisível”. O primeiro é a crónica das aventuras e desventuras de um escritor soviético — um certo Dovlatov — que tudo faz, sem êxito, para ser publicado no seu país. Das cedências que o autor recusa fazer às humilhações por ele vividas, dos tolos agentes do sistema aos editores teimosos que com ele se cruzam, é uma hilariante reflexão sobre a burocracia, a censura e a condição dos escritores em reinos da estupidez. O segundo narra a nova vida de Dovlatov nos Estados Unidos, onde, mal chegou, “como convém a um literato russo”, preguiçou seis meses no sofá, e a tentativa não menos difícil de fundar um jornal para imigrantes como ele em Nova Iorque, o centro da liberdade e o umbigo do capitalismo.

  • Dovlatov - I Libri Invisibili (2017) Un Biobic Dal Ritmo Jazz Sulla Superstar Della Letteratura Russa Sergej Dovlatov
    Dovlatov - I libri invisibili (2017) Un biobic dal ritmo jazz sulla superstar della letteratura russa Sergej Dovlatov. Un film di Aleksey German Jr con Milan Maric, Danila Kozlovsky, Elena Lyadova, Svetlana Khodchenkova, Anton Shagin. Genere Drammatico durata 126 minuti. Produzione Russia, Polonia, Serbia 2017. 4 giorni della vita del poeta russo Sergei Dovlatov nel 1971. Ilaria Ravarino - www.mymovies.it Sei giorni nella vita quotidiana di Sergej Donatovič Dovlatov, giornalista nella San Pietroburgo del 1971 e destinato a diventare - una volta emigrato negli Stati Uniti - una delle figure più rappresentative della letteratura russa moderna. Insieme all'amico e poeta Joseph, e a tanti altri membri della comunità artistica cittadina, Dovlatov fa di tutto per non piegare la sua indipendenza creativa alle richieste opprimenti del regime, arrivando a licenziarsi pur di non cedere al compromesso. "Ci vuole coraggio per mantenersi integri quando non si è nessuno", si ripete Sergej Donatovič Dovlatov - interpretato dall'ottimo Milan Marić - dopo essersi licenziato dal giornale in cui sbarca il lunario, per il quale i suoi articoli sono sempre troppo cupi, pessimisti, avversi alle progressive sorti del socialismo. E il coraggio davvero non manca ai tanti "nessuno" che Aleksey German Jr. - Orso d'Argento con 'Under Electric Clouds', Leone d'Argento per 'Paper Soldier' - mette in scena con amore nel suo film-fiume sulla comunità di proto-hipster sovietici della San Pietroburgo anni '70. Artisti umiliati da una società che non solo non ne riconosce il talento, ma che rigetta come "inesistenti" gli oggetti delle loro opere: gli ultimi, gli emarginati, i ribelli, i diversi, gli scontenti.
