A film shot in Kharkov by a Russian director, shocking the Paris public
In Paris, scandals are linked to the presentation of the film "Dow" 700 hours by the Russian director Ilya Khrzhanovsky. The show scheduled for 24 January has been delayed for lack of the necessary permission from the police headquarters. The organizers announced on the Twitter channel that the first would be held late in the day – January 25 at 21:00 local time
The tape was to be broadcast 24 hours a day without interruption until February 17 – reports Radio Liberty
. ] A little earlier, Le Monde magazine accused the team of violence among the actors and animals on the set, including the rape of the artist Andrew Ondrejac and the decapitation of a live pig. The project was accused of an unethical attitude towards its members.
Work on the Dow lasted nearly ten years. The development of the idea began in 2006, the filming process was resumed two years later and ended in 2011. According to the original plan, the story was to be built around the Soviet physicist, award winner Nobel Lev Landau, whose nickname originally, Dow, gave his name to the project, but during the work, the filming space became an experimental space with the "time machine", which carried the actors (most of them unprofessional) and the statists a sort of Stalinist Truman show.
Filming took place in Ukraine, Kharkiv. There, the director Khrzhanovsky built in Moscow a small imaginary city simulating the 30 years Soviet. At the center of events – the Institute of Theoretical Physics, whose prototype was the Scientific Institute of the Institute of Physical Problems of Moscow, where Landau worked under the direction of scientist Peter Kapitsy. To emphasize that it is only a prototype, the names of the main actors have been slightly changed: Kapitza has become Krupitsey, the wife of Landau Kora has received the name Nora and the name Landau has been reduced to Dow. Other heroes are real people whose professions, relationships and names have been transferred to the Soviet "Dow" universe.
During the shooting, the actors literally lived on the site, wore clothes and even lingerie of the time, eating food made by the Soviet public catering, were calculated by the Soviet currency issued at the beginning of the job. Journalists who were allowed to go to the playground changed clothes that were fashionable in those years, and at night they could buy "paths".
During the shooting, the authors deviated from the expected scenario and the camcorders never went out. Much of what happens on the screen – violence, sex, suffering, fertility – is not staged. This was done so that the actors really "live" the dark period of repression and can decide for themselves how they acted in this reality. About 300 people lived in the scenery of that time, including well-known cultural figures, politicians, scientists, law enforcement officials from Russia and Ukraine and the neo-Nazi Tesak.
The aim of the Parisian film series is to transfer the viewer to the heart of this "dark world". The sessions take place simultaneously in two rooms located on either side of the Place du Châtelet, previously connected by a bridge. At the entrance, visitors must complete a visa application form, which costs six hours – 35 euros, for 24 hours – 75 euros and the first time – for 150 euros. Need to hand over cell phones instead of special audio guides
In 2018, Berlin introduced a five-hour version of the film. Paris viewers will first see all the pictures.
