Comment: South America arms lion – THE WORLD

As won a year ago, the German footballer the world title for the first time in South America, the Mexican director Alfonso Cuarón must have revenge swore. Now when the Venice Film Festival he made by hand as head of the jury for a Latin American Total Triumph: Golden Lion for “Desde Allá” from Venezuela, Silver Lion for “El Clan” from Argentina. Not only in the Italian media that Alfonso Cuarón at once proclaimed the cinematic Che Guevara, the decision was a vergrätztes echo.

The gay drama of Caracas, later debut the completely unknown director Lorenzo Vigas, may come across as a political message for the Chavista Venezuela. Does the left-wing populist country also already badly abgefrühstückt in the street scenes, the laconically staged drama between an old man and a young lover proves but a tenacious vitality.

But that with the Argentine Mafia film “El Clan” a fascist murderer clan of outside experts also unknown Pablo Trapero has been awarded for the same sober aesthetics, acts almost willfully given the well-known competitors. But like so goes at prices always are intrigue, random, arbitrary in the game. In this case, it looks like a program of support for the film in Latin America – of all things from the jury Chef Cuarón, who never was too good at Harry Potter and the space opera “Gravity” itself for market-compatible Kitsch

That with Fabrice Luchini – acclaimed as a very French court president in “L’Hermine” this time at the Lido – the actual charismatic Stoat the active generation of actors received the Best Actor Award, comforting about the neglect so eminently successful and clever films like “11 Minutes” of Poland Jerzy Skolimowski least reasonably time.

But maybe this traditional festival is indeed just of the booming era of digital images overtaken that have long since become much too volatile and ubiquitous for such a flashlight parade in front of audiences. That on top of that Martin Scorsese’s new work “The Audition” with the world stars Robert De Niro, Leonardo DiCaprio (who curiously indeed all Italo Americans) had been withdrawn at the last moment “for technical reasons” by the director, was responsible for the planned media casserole in Italy course, bad news.

The real problem lies in cinema the host country itself. Even a botched turned Province strips like “Sangue del mio sangue” the aged Mittelmaßmeisters Marco Bellocchio got polite applause and rave reviews, although such a festival contribution represents an insult to great predecessors such as Rossellini, De Sica, Fellini, Visconti, Scola. The fact that the last Italian filmmakers at the international level, Paolo Sorrentino, deliberately stays away from the dusty beach Romance on the Lido, and his work can better assess the competition in Cannes or in Berlin , speaks volumes.

aufzuhelfen To Italy darbendem filmmaking, it needs above all money. And how that would procure at declining cinema attendance ever, was very passionate about it discussed in Venice by producers and politicians away from the red carpet. Model to the otherwise so intimately which arouses his enmity Germany be calculated, where considered to force a compulsory levy giants like Netflix and Google in return for their generous film exploitation to charges in the tens of millions.

Without such a source of money and without favorable tax models it is with the Cinema italiano precede any more than with the legendary production site Cinecittà in Rome . Their poverty message the lions roar of 2015 from the Lido from loudly to the world: South America is everywhere
