Pretentious and meaningless fairy tale Renata, claiming a special view of the artist ... The film named after her beloved is what Renata Litvinova created in this case.
It's all about me and myself, one way or another. . .
The matriarchy in the film turned out to be broken and meaningless - ' waiting for men' In fact, only the character of Renata is waiting for some idealized one, the rest manage on their own.
Mad mother (she, later, forever youthful grandmother), performed by Renata herself, with a claim to intelligence and aristocracy, in fact - an empty and cold oyster in its woody shell. Stupid hysterical son, endlessly humiliating and eating his wife, justifying it with some inexhaustible killed love. His wife is an unbalanced masochist, clinging to rags, tormented by life with this person, feelings. The grandson is an absolutely inert and empty narcissist who adores his pretentiously monstrous grandmother. . .
And the main grandmother (great-grandmother) with a bait, clawed paw holding the whole family by the throat, living in the Looking Glass. ..
Looking glass is uninteresting, boring and incredibly monotonous, despite all the attempts of the director to give him shine and attractiveness. . .
Secondary characters, in the form of a cousin and a doctor, give only more otherworldliness to the plot. . .
Is that a fairy tale? Absurd, pushed to the maximum?! The perversion of the author’s imagination with a fading spark of meaning?!
I don't know.
Everything is empty, extremely tight and far-fetched. I do not see in this picture neither a bizarre and peculiar beauty, nor an interesting and promising fantasy, nor an atmosphere striking the imagination.
Renata is everywhere, in everything and in everyone, regardless of his role in this action. . .
I can’t say I’m not happy with this actress. Sometimes it is pleasant to look at it, and it is very appropriate and naturally within the framework of the paintings in which it plays. You feel the mind, and taste, and restrained moderation, and subtlety of the game. . .
In this case, I see emasculation and overplay that goes far beyond theatricality. Renata tried so hard to impress the imagination of the viewer that the lush fantastic fireworks turned out quite dull, sorry, puff.
The story for adults was not at all fascinating.
I overdid it. . .
For diligence and potential
