In the network I came across very contradictory responses to the last film of Roman Polansky “Palace” / The Palace, 2023, so I decided to still see for myself, although the description was not very drawn to viewing. As it turned out, I was right, it could not be seen. Of course, I understand that the film is made according to the laws of the genre, it is a very poisonous satire on the modern world, especially its so-called elite, but what I saw caused a strong rejection in me, despite the fact that I am interested in the genre of satire and I watched many films shot in this genre. The action takes place on the eve of a meeting in 2000 in some luxury hotel in the Swiss Alps. There for the meeting of the New Year come different celebrities and rich people. On the sidelines, rumors spread by all sorts of soothsayers about the dangers that the new century may entail are also discussed: someone is afraid of losing everything, someone hopes to enrich himself with the help of machinations. We see some typical representatives of the local public - we see a former actor (possibly starred in porn films, given, in particular, the scene in the toilet, in this hero I did not recognize Luca Barbareschi), we see a millionaire who arrived here with his much younger wife to celebrate the anniversary of their wedding, did not recognize John Cleese in this role, a bunch of Russian bandits (also mentioned Alexander Petrov, although he has a rather episodic role here) rolls up with suitcases of money, which they will then have to hand over to the Russian ambassador (and how else do this by means only to earn a small car, he does not get rid of his wife in this, who does not get used to it before) and does not get rid of such a modestly from this one who does not get rid of his wife. There are many unforeseen problems that must be solved, first of all, the hotel manager Hansueli (Oliver Masucci), among all who seem to still have some remnants of brains. The rest of the characters are some creatures that have almost completely lost their human appearance. That is why it was very difficult for me to watch this film, the concentration of these characters is too great and they are depicted, maybe very bright, but this is no less disgusting colors. No less disgusting and the final scene, where the dog marquise copulates with a penguin, which ordered a millionaire for his wife. This is the apogee of all this disgusting sight.
