Resistance

The film "Resistance" is set during the Second World War, and the script is based on the biography of the famous French mime Marcel Marceau.

At that time, the artist participated in the Resistance movement and helped to take Jewish children out of occupied France.

Marceau's acting skills allowed him to save at least 70 people.

The main role in the film was played by Jesse Eisenberg - the star of the tapes "The Social Network" and "Welcome to Zombieland."

For filming, he had to master the skill of a mime, which, according to the artist, is significantly different from his usual acting work.

At the same time, Eisenberg stressed that the film "Resistance" is not about pantomime.

First of all, it is "an amazing story about an artist who is forced to become a hero against his will by extremely difficult circumstances."

The project was directed by Venezuelan director Honatan Yakubovich.

Both he and Jesse Eisenberg are close to the theme raised in the film: among the relatives of the filmmakers there were Jews who became victims of the Holocaust.

Eight Hundred (Ba bai)

The war drama "Eight Hundred" covers one of the episodes of the Sino-Japanese War, which took place in 1937.

The film became the highest grossing in the world at the end of 2020.

He raised $ 461 million and bypassed projects such as Bad Boys Forever and Argument.  

The tape was warmly received by both film critics and viewers - its rating on the Rotten Tomatoes portal is 88% and 79%, respectively.

Reviewers note the large-scale production of action scenes and compare the film with the Oscar-winning film by Christopher Nolan "Dunkirk".

"Angel of Vengeance" (Vanquish)

George Gallo, writer of the hit series Bad Boys with Will Smith and Martin Lawrence, is releasing a new action movie, Angel of Revenge.

In the center of the plot is the former drug courier Victoria (Ruby Rose).

She tries to forget about the dark past, lead a normal life and calmly raise her little daughter.

However, the girl has to return to the criminal world after her child is held hostage.

Unlike many of Gallo's other works, there is not much humor in this film.

It is shot in the spirit of classic gangster films.

The director said that he had long dreamed of working in this particular genre.

“There's an old gangster movie, an American tape called Friends of Eddie Coyle, directed by Peter Yates.

I just love these old school gangster movies, they are always very stylistically consistent and it was great to do something like that.

As a filmmaker, I have never had the opportunity to go this far.

It was a very liberating and interesting experience, ”said George Gallo in an interview with Script.

Somos Calentura: We Are The Heat

A young father and talented dancer, Harvey lives in poverty and takes any job, including illegal, to pay off debts and provide for his child.

Every day, Harvey walks the edge - in the event of one wrong step, his family could be in danger.

Together with his friends, the hero seeks salvation in a dance.

As noted by foreign film critics, the authors of the film did not manage to avoid the numerous clichés that are typical for most film projects about dancing.

At the same time, some believe that the Argentine-Colombian tape turned out to be exciting and extremely colorful in its own way.

"This film, although somewhat crude, provides a glimpse into the dance club subculture and life in a major Colombian city," writes Cinemalogue author Todd Jorgenson.
