On the problems of soup An inventor living in Poland, where everyone speaks pure English, is busy creating the main discovery of the twentieth century – moving and talking pictures. The pictures do move, they do talk, but they remain black and white. While the inventor is looking for a way to give the cinema color, his loving and inhabiting, mainly in the kitchen wife suspiciously coughs up blood about something of his own.
Despite its integrity, stylistically "Cinematograph" resembles the cutting of fragments when announcing Oscar nominees in the appropriate genre category. Apparently, the Polish animator Tomek Baginski was just planning to win some Western prize - hence, the English language, and pretentious name, and to irritation melodic music, and sensuality. The most incomprehensible thing here is why Baginsky, fond of world criticism, turned from a witty artist into a tear merchant. His most famous cartoons are the incredibly beautiful existential Cathedral, from which Darren Aronofsky stole half the ideas for his Fountain, and, conversely, the cartoonishly ugly, frankly schizophrenic, but therefore even more attractive black comedy The Art of Fall, which can be viewed from both a philosophical and social point of view. “Cinematograph” (the first, by the way, the work of Baginsky, where there is articulate speech – in two cartoons were silent, in “The Art of the Fall” and completely communicated exclusively with the help of the words “Bla-bla”) is incredibly sentimental (although there are jokes about the invention of stereo sound in the XX century, but all this is not the first freshness), strikingly simple and even silly – this is a moral story with a large and, probably, deep morality, arising from nowhere. Any cooked saint - she, unlike her husband, does not grow old - a wife's soup can be the last, so a good spouse should eat everything to the end and say that the food was delicious. Instead of coming up with moving pictures, it is better to discover a cure for tuberculosis - everyone knows that the Lumieres will invent cinema. Appreciate what you have while you have it - the only thought you don't want to laugh at, but it seems to have nothing to do with it, and this has already been reported several times, for example, in "Saw". After Cinema, Baginsky wants to introduce John Kramer to teach the director to appreciate his talent, and not to be exchanged for tear-squeezing speculation. Although, perhaps, this is a revealing story about the fact that the movie was not invented by the Lumieres, but a brilliant man who cried half his life in the attic - then everything is fine, John, rest, it is better to call psychiatrists.
