¡Que Viva Mexico!
(Да здравствует Мексика!)
Category: Film
Genre: Black and White, Documentary fiction
Status: online!
Hosts:
Conceived as a gigantic tableau of Mexican life, the film is a startling portrayal of the dramatic interaction between the ancient Mayan civilisation and the Spanish conquistadores and the modernising mythology of the Mexican Revolution. ¡Que viva México!, as Eisenstein had planned it, was to consist of six interdependent episodes. Their relationship was not strictly a narrative one, but was based on a poetic association of ideas and visual concepts which were to be united in an epic montage. The film evolved freely during Eisenstein's travels throughout Mexico. His inspired vision, photographed by the greatest cameraman of his time Eduard Tisse, achieves scenes of archetypal intensity and explores the simultaneity of past and present. There are pastoral scenes of peace under the shadows of the ancient pyramids; enactments of the Easter sacrifice; the celebration of death in the festivities of the Day of the Dead, and great moments of irony juxtaposed with the hunger for life in scenes of an uprising on a hacienda in Central Mexico. Eisenstein's filmic language combines the monumental depiction of Mexican life with the power of historical film drama.

17 Moments of Spring
(17 мгновений весны)
Category: Series
Genre: Black and White, Detective, Military

Hosts:
The twelve-part television series about a Soviet intelligence agent who infiltrated the Nazi Secret Service has become a cult film. For the first time since Chapayev jokes and literary parodies are being made up about its main protagonist, Stirlitz. The era of perestroika has passed, the Soviet system of values has been shattered, with the USSR itself ceasing to exist, yet the film continues to be watched and enjoyed. The film owes its astounding success to director T. Lioznova's many-year painstaking work, writer Y. Semyonov's suspense-packed plot, the brilliant performance by the actors and M. Tariverdiyev's music. If anyone would like to see a good TV Series he/she must see "17 moments of the Spring", where Viacheslav Tikhonov played wonderfully the role of the Soviet agent Stirlitz. In fact, this agent never existed, but he was like a compilation of those soviet agents (Kuznetsov, Sorge and others) who died fighting nazi occupation in the territories of former USSR. Leonid Bronevoi also played in excellent way the role of nazi officer Heinrich Mueller. The story of the series was like the one of cat vs mouse. Mueller always suspected of Tikhonov, but could prove nothing.
