What movie like to watch the guys who themselves make cool cinema? We wondered and learned ten favorite films of Mexican director Guillermo del Toro.
Did you see them? What do you think?
"Eight and half", 1963
Tragicomedia Federico Fellini, whose premiere, by the way, took place in 1963 in Moscow. In the lead role, Alter-ego Fellini Filmorezhsor Anselmi, Marchello Masthani. Anselmi is looking for inspiration to remove its new film. He addresses childhood memories, examined around, speaks with people. As a result, the narrative looks completely surreal. The picture, in short, about how directorial ideas grow from what kind of sector.
"Beauty and monster", 1946
Films with such a name a lot, but Del Toro loves the one who from Jean Cocteau. The plot there is almost completely the same as in the Aksakov fairy tale about the scarlet flower. Rather, "Beauty and the Beast" are interesting, first of all, a visual solution. A complex game of light and shadow director gives the picture on the screen similarity with fabulous engravings of Hustava Dore. Warn!
"Frankenstein", 1931
Best Frankenstein, as you know, Boris Carloff. The plot of canonical screening is familiar, it seems to everyone. A young scientist commits a breakthrough, collecting from pieces of corpses of a huge person. In case of an error, instead of the brain of another scientist, the experimenter puts into the cadaurus brain of the criminal. True, for a recidivist, the created monster behaves quite peacefully. Attacks his jailer, only when he mocks, migrating his torch. Plays with a little girl (and kills her, but by mistake). In general, his damn sorry, even though his creator at the end of the film he kills intentionally.
"Rady", 1932
Most actors of a stray circus are people with fairly extreme deviations in physical development. Among them - and ordinary actors are also distinguished by the beauty of Cleopatra, gymnast, and Hercules, Silacha. Cleopatra and Hercules, of course, love each other and in the direction of "freaks" do not look. Exactly as long as Liliput Hans does not become the heir of a rich state. Cleopatra immediately beats him by the bride, too, Liliputants, without throwing, however, Hercules. Having become a wife of Hans, the gymnast is trying to poison it. In the punishment of circuschi, it urged, turning into a "duck", and the Hercules castrate. The film was forbidden to the United States for a very long time and was considered to be exclusively disgust, but in the second half of the twentieth century was recognized as cult.
"Nice guys", 1990
Oddly enough (in the light of the paintings described by yours), quite modern cinema. Removed in 1990 based on real gangster history. Among the artists of the main roles are the charming de Niro, although del Toro, probably, the film loves not for it. According to the plot, the picture represents something like the American version of the Brigade. The boy went to success, the complex relations of real potces and any such. Only Swam and Mafia there Italian and action takes place in Chicago the beginning of the twentieth century.
"Greed", 1924
One of the longest dumb films and, like many favorite films Del Toro, full of hidden mysticism. The girl of one guy fell in love with his buddy. The guy was a good man and did not hold it. A friend with a girl got married, and then it turned out that the girl won a 5000 dollars in the lottery. The guy takes greed, and he submits a friend. Decisions pushes each of the three heroes on more and more terrible deeds until all three die. And this is not a spoiler, because it is interesting not the fact, but how they are so sought.
"Forgotten", 1950
What a Mexican director, if not loved by Mexican movies. The drama Luis Bunuel from the life of the streets is striking the alloy of hyperealism and surrealism. The boys quarrel, the boys go to jail, the boys throw crime, boys kill boys. Strangely enough, it sounds, but this endless and hopeless circulation fascinates.
"New Times", 1936
You will be surprised, but it is a picture of Charlie Chaplin. The biggest film about a small tramp, originally he had to be completely sound. However, Chapelin could not imagine how the tramp would talk and especially as the picture will be shown in other countries, so that the dialogues in the film remained nothing. What is unusual for paintings with the main character Chaplin, the film is not about how they offend the poor man in a big city, but he does not lose and still gives. "New Times" - a social drama dedicated to a small man in the face of giant industrialization and great depression. True, what are watching drama, you do not even understand until you dig. Incredibly touching comedy. Still Charlie was great.
"Nosfecerat. Symphony of Horror ", 1922
Such a classic of horror films, which is not classical. Some, black and white and still very scary. In general, before us, the confuses "Dracula" Bram Stoker, only instead of a charismatic vampire with a hairy breast of people biting a disholuble bald ghoul with a habit of habit. And go away, of course, Baba. We, women, such yes.
"Shadow doubt", 1943
We knew that this list could not be Alfred Hichkoka! "Shadow of doubt" - his first recognized masterpiece. Thriller is based on the real history of the maniac, fastened on the suffocation of the victims. The provincial senior student misses and trying to mentally call in his life uncle Charlie, in honor of which he once received a name. Uncle appears, he is charming, a lot of where he looked, and the girl, of course, is delighted. So far, the shadow of doubt is not stood into her soul: maybe the uncle still has a lot of things?
