Cinema criticism, if she does not nourish her man, offers some privileges, including that of being courted by producers who, not knowing how to ensure a minimum promo to their WTF Movies (Tordus films) and cash, last spring, on the weakly prescribing impact of my Ultimatumsend me exclusively, by coded link, the video of their last nightmare. She was that day accompanied by an encouraging and flattering little word: “The talent with which you talked about her previous films automatically designates you as the only columnist in this country to grasp the hidden greatness of this masterpiece ‘Work.
For those who have not seen his previous films, and not read the successive chronicles that I devoted to them, I summarize.
Born on January 25, 1978 in Kyvyi in the Soviet Republic of Ukraine, the little Volodymyr Zelensky began his acting career by winning a comedy competition on national television in 2001. Success will no longer abandon him. In 2015, while the country was at war with Russia which, a year earlier, annexed Crimea, Volodymyr embodies the role of Vassili Petrovitch Goloborodko, a rebellious history teacher, filmed without his knowledge by one of his students , which broadcasts on YouTube the video which immediately makes it famous to the point of being pushed by the unanimous population to present themselves in the election presidential, which he wins. This TV series entitled Servant of the people Pulverizes all audience records. A second season is immediately started, then a feature film film, then a third season which will be used for the propaganda of director-actor Zelensky for his campaign in order to become President of the Republic and thus pass his hero of the Fiction to a kind of unreality that is realized and sees him elected president of the Republic, in 2019, with 73 % of the votes in the second round.
How were we able to let this do this?
The film that I was able to watch in preview starts with the story that you all know and that you have been able to follow live in the press for three years, it continues with the Munich conference on February 14, which saw the reborn ashes that were believed to be extinct the spirit of Munich 1936, which had allowed Hitler to start his conquest of Europe. Eighty-eight years later, the same countries vassized by the United States of Trump implicitly left Putin Russia the right to end up invading Ukraine, the film showing very well how the rest of the castle of cards European collapses in a few weeks from the Black Sea to the Atlantic.
There is this pathetic and cinematographically unique moment when the director-actor-president Zelensky is filmed behind his office of the Maryinsky palace, the official residence of the Ukrainian presidency, in a staging which obviously recalls the attack of General Pinochet against The Palais de la Moneda in Santiago de Chile. Except that Zelensky, unlike Salvador Allende, does not commit suicide, and when the Russian soldiers smash the door of the office, he gets up, he looks at them, they are so surprised to see him smile that they remain a fraction of a second frozen Before shooting the hero of the Ukrainian people who collapses in martyrdom of the last European dream.
The cameras always turn when the soldiers adjust all the members of the team, they switch to the ground, film only the passing boots, record only the joyful cries of the soldiers where the “Nazi sluts” and the “dirty Merde Jews “merge in an absurd cannon. A magnificent film, carried by exceptional actors who will have sacrificed their lives for their art, and will have brought our outrage to the limits of the bearable. With this throbbing question: how could we have let this do this? I do not tell you the end of the film since it is you, it is we who do it.
