The Cranes are Flying (Mikhail Kalatozov; 1957)

La única película soviética que ganó el Festival de Cannes es un drama bélico, intenso y conciso, que recorre los lugares emocionales de Lo que el viento se llevó, pero con mucha más determinación y economía. Apoyada por igual en la magnética presencia de su protagonista, y en el asertivo uso de los cortes y de largos y elocuentes travellings, esta cinta surgida con la explosión de creatividad contenida tras la muerte de Stalin, se sigue viendo moderna y pertinente; sigue siendo un modelo del cual aprender.

#313 Cuando pasan las cigüeñas (1957), de Mikhail Kalatozov

Dave Eves joins Martin Kessler for a wildfire fast conversation about filmmaker Mikhail Kalatozov. They brave the elements to marvel at I Am Cuba’s famous long takes, consider the logistics of Letter Never Sent’s forest fire, and look at how The Cranes Are Flying set the bar for self-serious Russian directors. If you survive to the end you’ll hear some strong opinions on arthouse theatre audiences, Hard to Be a God, Blumhouse horror movies, the accents of token straw-man Americans, and of course why “cinema is a lie”.  If you have any letters to send, you can reach Dave Eves on Twitter at @CinemaVsDave
