Happy Endings (2013)

"Смысл жизни по Монти Пайтону" - музыкальный комедийный фильм 1983 года команды комиков Монти Пайтона. В отличие от двух предыдущих фильмов, снятых ими, которые были более или менее рассказывающими единую связанную историю, "Смысл жизни..." возвращается к формату скетча в оригинальном телесериале труппы, слабо структурированного в виде серии комических пародий о различных этапах жизни.

Действие картины развивается в средневековой Англии на постоялом дворе. В этом фильме режиссер сыграл роль Чосера, который является одним из слушателей четырех новелл, рассказанных путниками. Все новеллы картины пропитаны духом сладострастья и эротики, простотой нравов и юмором средневековой Англии.

For this year's Movies Issue, The New York Times Magazine commissioned lines from an eclectic and talented group of screenwriters — writers responsible for some of the best scripts of 2013. We asked them each to write a single line for us — not a scene, a script or a scenario, but simply an intriguing, amusing or captivating line of dialogue. Then we gave these lines to one of the great movie artists of our time: the cinematographer Janusz Kaminski, a two-time Oscar winner. Kaminski used these lines as inspiration to create 11 original (very) short films. Each short evokes a style or genre of the cinematic past and stars an actor who gave an especially memorable performance in 2013.

Displaying the faces and voices of transgender youth, the documentary short shows the authenticity of queer and trans people living in Toronto, while simultaneously discussing the struggles for self-acceptance that people who do not conform to cisgender and heteronormative ideals of gender face. Andy Nguyen, trans director and film student, captures his trans friends in their natural state on 16mm film shot on a Bolex h16 camera. Accompanied by narration written and recited by Salem Rao, this film represents that trans people exist and this is what we look like. Regardless of the obvious everyday transphobia, trans people find community and uniqueness within each other and themselves.
