“Unfortunately, very predictable, it was still known at the beginning of the year.

Chloe Zhao's Land of Nomads is a film that was considered a favorite by all film academies, and indeed by all leaders of the film industry.

He won the Golden Globe, he won a huge number of other local awards, to be honest, there could be no other alternatives.

Recently, the American Film Academy is not about how well viewers rate this or that film, but about how time or topicality resonates in these films, ”Nikulin said.

He noted that the film "The Land of Nomads" tells about the American deep society, about how people survive in small cities, that is, according to the expert, this is "the maximum distance from the mainstream." 

Commenting on the victory of Anthony Hopkins, who starred in Florian Zeller's film "Father" and won the Best Actor nomination, Nikulin noted that he played an excellent role.

“This movie is distinguished by the fact that it is made masterfully in the artistic sense of the word.

Because the protagonist is a father with dementia, we see this film from the protagonist's perspective, and we know that he has memory loss.

The film is structured in such a way that some sections, some logical moves also fall out, "added the interlocutor of RT. 

According to him, this is "a terrible story, but made without a moralizing position, without edification, namely from the point of view of artistry." 

“What if we got into this situation, not even as spectators, but as participants.

You are completely immersed in this story.

If I had my way, I would give this picture the main award, ”the film critic emphasized.

He also called the victory of Thomas Winterberg's "One More Time", which became the best film in a foreign language, as predictable.

“Even when this picture appeared in our box office, when it went to festivals, everyone unanimously said that this is the outstanding role of Mads Mikkelsen, the outstanding picture of Thomas Winterberg, not because it somehow rhymes with our Russian feeling of how you have to live, but in the sense that this picture does not try to give a lesson, does not try to teach ... This picture is strong due to the fact that there are two national lines at once: you simultaneously rejoice for the heroes, and at the same time have compassion for them, and you don’t understand if they are on the wrong path or are some geniuses really ... He (Winterberg -

RT

) showed himself, the loud voice of Danish cinema was heard, ”he concluded.
