Краткое содержание
From the very beginning, actor Paul Newman captivated the cinema audience with his exceptional azure eyes. The reserved Newman himself finds it trivial and even disturbing that everyone is so taken with his appearance. The actor and director - who has played in more than sixty films and directed twelve of them - prefers to focus on his work and family. And, at least as important, on his philanthropic ventures and political activism.
As a child, Sicilian Placido Rizzotto saw his father imprisoned for a crime he didn't commit, and as a young man he fought in World War II, first as a soldier and then as an anti-fascist partisan. These events have left Placido with little taste for petty tyranny and with a desire to promote social justice. Upon his return home, he becomes increasingly aware that the Mafia has taken hold of his village, witnessing angry and frustrated as gangsters control local politics and take whatever they want from the people. Placido helps to form a trade union as a challenge to the Mafia's authority, and attempts to organize the villagers into a collective to grow crops in the fields taken by the Mafia.
Это последняя крупная роль "великого и ужасного" Клауса Кински, человека с лицом демона и руками великого музыканта. Кински долгое время был увлечен образом Паганини как фигуры противоречивой, негармоничной, но способной на потрясающие прозрения. Бурный гений - так можно резюмировать репутацию Паганини, острее всех воплотившего идеал романтического художника. Кински показал жизнь художника на самом краю бездны, сознательно преувеличивая ее глубину. Его Паганини - клубок змеящихся парадоксов, исчадие ада, осененное божественной волей, похотливое животное, преданное искусству. Жюри Каннского фестиваля не приняло фильм в конкурсную программу, уличив режиссера в порнографии. И наверное, Кински больше обрадовался, чем расстроился…
