Regis Wargnier, the famous French film director - on freedom, the Russian actor, national issues

Among the stars who came to St. Petersburg film forum, filmmaker Wargnier may have been closer to us and other interesting, because he is one of the few dared to shoot a film about the complicated history page - Stalin's repressions late 40s. His film "East - West", made jointly with Russia, Bulgaria and Spain, made the list not only the most important paintings in his filmography, which "Indochine" (taken together with Vietnam and the award "Oscar"), "French Woman" (jointly with the British, was awarded three prizes at the Cannes Festival), but our favorite spectator.

- Heroes of your new film, "home stretch" - athletes. They find the strength to stand up after life beats to go on living. But, in fact, all of your films - the overcoming of ourselves, the circumstances of the framework.

- I choose a topic that excites me, sinking into her head. Like this story about a blind athlete. Once I saw a train blind athletes, and this, a routine for them to exercise struck me. Important for me to tell a story about people's lives. Anyone can "fall", but not everyone finds the strength to stand up, including at himself. When the story develops, I take a step aside to see a whole: a picture emerges? If I was teaching philosophy to his students, gave them the task to write the essay on the topic: "Can the freedom of society without self-emancipation of man?" Broader concept of freedom of any system, it affects the whole cosmos of human existence.

- And as a "practical applications", students would use panama real estate for sale your pictures. But for us, you're an expert on the topic "East - West". As these relationships are formed and changed today?

- End of the Cold War has radically changed world order. Previously, all seemed more or less clear. Was capitalism and communism. Confrontation superpower ¬ zhav. Behind the back of the Soviet Union - members of the CMEA Cuba, North Korea, Vietnam, Angola. And on the other hand - "stall" the NATO countries. It seemed that this abyss forever, we got used to it. End of the Cold War, the termination of the Warsaw Pact led not only release, but confusion of thought. Prerogative of freedom - defending their own point of view. But this is so anxious and uncomfortable. And if the "point" is not? It will draw not just happen. Prior to the destruction of the Wall has been tuned, "combed" the opinion of each significant matter. As people have learned, so they thought: this is good, but it's bad. At some point all of the system 'starting line' has been erased. The man was alone in the new space with him.

Immediately after the fall of the Iron Curtain, I was in Germany. Personally seen how much had been lost, suppressed by the East Germans. Well, all applauded collapsed like a waterfall at the head, freedom. But soon they began to get bored, sorry about life "before the Wall fell." The world is no longer black and white, new realities have not been as lucrative as it seemed "beyond the Wall." I told a friend: "I now have a passport. I can travel anywhere I want. But where I go, if you have no money? "

Simply make the revolution's economic, political, rather than turn people's minds. The human panama real estate rentals brain - is more complicated, delicate organization than the structure of society. In all of these dropped out of stiff systems of countries there is a problem generation gap. In Russia, the difference between fifty and sixty-twenty-twenty-five - a terrible, irresistible. In a moment they saw the world to others. Young said, "Okay," so even more convenient. They have "quick" mentality. Politics and economics have changed the world of freedom around the speed of light. Young took the Soviet collapse with excitement and curiosity. Older ejected on the spot "tooth" of the wound appeared unresolved issues, including inside ourselves.
