The film "Witches of Sugar-Murdi". Reviews: grotesque, feminism and gothic
The highest praise of Kinomatra Tarantino (maestrowas touched to tears) was awarded the tape "Sad melody for the pipe" by director Alex de la Iglesia. It is very, very expensive. However, it is not inferior in quality and film "The Witching & Bitching" in 2013 - a killer cocktail of irony, trash, road movie, criminal history thriller about a robbery, with a drop of feminism and obscene humor - absolutely fresh creation of the Spaniard. Dressed up idiotically (which is only the character depicting the Savior himself), apparently, not very experienced robbers are trying to clean the pawnshop. The absurdity of the situation is added by the presence of a "young boy" in practice (well, there was no one with whom to leave the little boy at home!) Of one of the participants in a risky operation. And now the police "tail", a mini-gang hijacks a car (with the taxi driver the driver, and found themselves at the wrong time in the wrong place passengers who are "packaged" in the trunk, so as not to hear him chatter and screams) and rushes to border of the state. What are they going to do at the border - is unclear, especially since the purpose at them - no more, no less - the capital of France and the "Disneyland", which wants to get to the horror youngest gang member. On the way, the characters fall into a strange town ... So begins the film "The Witching & Bitching," and almost all the females depicted in it - it is the witches, including rushing in pursuit of the fugitives (if zapravskaya witch on a broomstick) mamma boys Sylvia .
The film "Witches from Sugar-Murdi" reviews from the publiccollected the most positive. In many respects due to the gothic irrational situation, dashing plot and, of course, to the cast of actors. The main male roles of Jose and Tony directed the director Hugo Silva ("lit" in a good recent thriller of the Spanish production of "Body") and the cutie Mario Casas, who suffer crowds of worshipers of the cultic "Three meters above the sky". Well, and the women possessing the magic gift of the picture are generally worthy of applause only (as did the already mentioned wife of one of the bandits, performed by Makarena Gomez). Separate ode worthy of the charm of Carolina Bang (charming Eva) and, of course, ageless charm, personified by Carmen Maura (Grazian's devil). The film "Witches of Sugar-Murdi", reviews of which are extremely contradictory, are judged by critics of various sizes. Among other things, the remarkable cast has received more than one award. Remarkable and unusual are the special effects on which the film "Witches of Sugar-Murdi" is rich. Reviews about them most often mention the walking of one of the participants of the coven on the ceiling, in order to fix the chandelier.
On real events
Film production in recent years is not so generousstories about witches. The minds of Bullock and Kidman (Practical Magic) immediately come to mind, a half-childish but funny "Focus-Puff", a trash horror film by Rob Zombie with nauseating aunts ("The Lords of Salem"). Still, perhaps, there are references to the telesaga about Sabrina and the "Enchanted" sisters and the earlier series, about the retro-American witch wife. The work of the Spanish master occupied a worthy and honorable place at the top of the rating of such works. The plot, by the way, is taken by the Spaniard not at all "from the ceiling", in Sugar-Murdi and indeed in times immemorial judged those who were suspected of collusion with evil forces. It turns out, practically on real events the film "Witches from Sugarrami" is based, reviews about which critics of the different countries leave basically positive.
