The film, which will compete in the Orizzonti section, will be the only Portuguese to join the festival.

The Observer, Marcus admitted he was “very happy” with the selection, lamenting that his film is the only Portuguese to join the festival, now in its 73rd edition.

“It’s a long process of selection of films and then the list will reduce and the expectation is growing. I am very happy. I think it’s very different from a movie premiere in Venice or Cannes or debut in any festival. represents the possibility of the film have an international career. Gives more visibility . “

St George also marks the return of the Portuguese director on feature films. The last, How Draw a Perfect Circle , premiered in 2009, five years ago. Since then, Marco Martins made a documentary, a short film and was involved in several theater projects. “They are five years”, said jokingly, explaining that the delay was due to the long process of making the film.

 S & # XE3, Jorge 1

“It was a very difficult film to make,” he said. “There was a year in which the Portuguese Cinema Institute was closed and there were no contests. The entire financing process was quite complicated. it is a film that had a very long writing made based on a survey along the difficult collection agencies. But of course, like to shoot less in less time!

St George is a look at the intervening years the troika in Portugal and on the crisis financial that hit the country. In the center of the plot is a boxer, Jorge, long unemployed, who takes a job in a difficult collection company to pay its debts. Crossing fiction with documentary, Marco Martins using professional actors, but also to retail because “certain characters could not be done by professionals.” Real people with their way of speaking, with its own gestures, could not be replaced by actors. It would not be the same.



would not work, “he admitted. “[During the research phase,] I got to know people who really wanted in the film. I thought if I did, would make a weaker film, less strong. I was collecting these characters and bringing them to the film. “

Nuno Lopes, a reunion long awaited

To are Jorge , Marco Martins returned to join with Nuno Lopes , actor who worked on the film Alice , 2005. This, the first feature film the Portuguese director, received international recognition and was awarded with the Regards Jeunes at the Cannes Film Festival that year. The film also won the Golden Globe for “Best Film” and Nuno Lopes the “Best Actor”.

Observer, Marco Martins explained that the two never stopped working, continuing to work in the theater. “We have five pieces together in the middle of this whole process and spoke always in the will to work together. But I lacked the right story. “The will was so great (as well as the postponement) that, at one point, Nuno Lopes decided it was time the two sit down and think a movie together.

” And where it started this idea, “said Marco. “In fact, it began with a film about a boxeur Portuguese amateur. But then we started to search for and we realized that there were many people [boxers] who worked in difficult collection agencies . “



The cast of are Jorge also has the participation of actors like Beatriz Batarda (which also entered Alice ), Gonçalo Waddington and Carla Maciel, among others.

a story about contemporary Portugal

When Marco Martins and Nuno Lopes decided to make a movie about a boxer, the director immediately thought I wanted to do something “different” . “There are so many boxing movies, it is difficult to make one that is different,” he said. “This was an essential step for writing the script”, a project made six hands, with the collaboration of Mariana Fonseca (who did all the research) and Ricardo Adolfo (co-author of the script), friend and writer who Marco has long dreamed collaborate.

“the films are made by people, and I think finding the right creative team is key. always we are doing this research. I’m always to do with who I can work on the next film. And he had a very strong desire to work with Ricardo. “

 S & # XE3; 3 Jorge

Marco found this thing “different” in contemporary Portugal. “When I finished my second film, How Draw a Perfect Circle , I thought I wanted to make a film about contemporary Portugal. Over here and now, one thing to talk about what was going on. This universe was completely away from everything we saw, everything we read, “he said.



I think the cinema, a very fast society, very fast news has a key role -. the registration of a time, a place, a social state “

Using the years of the troika as a backdrop, the director managed to bring a different perspective and more current to the story of a boxer who is faced with the same problems as many other Portuguese. “It was a period of great social unrest, when people began to think about what is the welfare state, the minimum wage, social income. I thought it was a perfect mirror of these people who have debts, which use loans to pay these debts. It seemed very interesting. Never had a more social film about today. “

Like many Portuguese, Jorge is also a fighter in the ring and outside it. Hence the name, are Jorge . “As it was a boxeur , a warrior, [me and Nuno Lopes] thought he should have a worship at St. George and always prayed to the saint before the fighting. I thought it was a pretty picture. A beautiful title . “

“Barry Lyndon”: the splendor of Stanley Kubrick restored – Observer

When “Barry Lyndon” debuted in the US in 1975, the legendary “Mad” magazine, which in each issue publishes a “charge” devastating to a prominent film, titled his parody “Borey Lyndon” ., a pun made from the name of the character in the movie, Barry, and “boring” ( “boring”) “disgusted” was just one of the things that the critics who did not like the Stanley Kubrick movie – and even some who do not disgusted – they called him. “Cold”, “distant”, “hollow” and “decorative” were others. It was as if after four films, “Lolita,” “Doctor Strangelove”, “2001 – A Space Odyssey” and “A Clockwork Orange”, which, each in their own way, churned the waters (and not only from an artistic point of view ), and divided the critics, Kubrick had done with “Barry Lyndon,” a settled period film, formalist, academic, that united much of the criticism in the same disappointment.

[See "trailer" original "Barry Lyndon"]

the tape, now back in digital form restored, was a modest commercial success in the uS, did better in Europe and won four Oscars (best Art Direction, Photography – for big John Alcott – Wardrobe and Soundtrack). But Stanley Kubrick left high and dry as the Oscars for Best Screenplay, Director and Film for which he was nominated. Even misunderstood and minimized, “Barry Lyndon” always had staunch supporters among moviegoers, critics (American Roger Ebert and Richard Schickel, or French Michel Ciment, for example) and directors (is the favorite Stanley Kubrick movie filmmakers as disparate as Martin Scorsese and Lars von Trier). Increasingly more considered and appreciated with the years, consists today of the lists of the Best Films of All Time “Sight and Sound”, the “Time” or “Village Voice”

After two films set in the future -. a distant ( “2001″), another neighbor ( “Clockwork Orange “) – and after not getting funding for his project on Napoleon, due to the commercial failure of the monumental” Waterloo “, Sergei Bondarchuk, Stanley Kubrick wanted to stay in the past. Thackeray player, the filmmaker thought first to shoot “Vanity Fair”, but realized that the busy story could not be told in the limited space of a film, and that “would be destroyed in the paper path to the screen,” as a rare interview with Michel Ciment, all dedicated to “Barry Lyndon.” The choice then fell into “The Luck of Barry Lyndon” (1844), also Thackeray on an Irish upstart trying to meddle in the English aristocracy. The book is considered one of the first, or even the first, with an anti-hero, or “no hero”, according to the writer himself.

[See Ryan O'Neal talk about Stanley Kubrick and Shooting]

As always used to happen when books adapted to film, Kubrick made several changes in history. The most important was the replacement of Barry Lyndon ( played by Ryan O’Neal, a choice very attacked to the point, but it results because the actor can do this your character with whom it is difficult to empathize, but it is “very real which is neither a conventional hero nor a conventional villain, “as noted by the director in the aforementioned interview) as imperfect narrator in the first person by a narrator outside the story and omniscient, though not entirely reliable. Kubrick also attenuated the humorous tone of the book and towed it to the dramatic side, without do without lines satiric.

[See scenes from the movie]

The replacement of “Barry Lyndon “digitally restored version confirms it as one of the best films of Stanley Kubrick. is a work of an unassailable narrative drive, visual, dramatic, aesthetic and historical recreation, increased expression of exhausting the director perfectionism and its technical innovation, subjected to an artistic vision and never decorative or order free effects, here patent in use, to the sequences in the candlelight, a Zeiss lens belonging to a batch ten manufactured for photographic satellites and Apollo NASA missions, and that the filmmaker still modified. is a tape that adapting a book but never becomes “literary” drinking in painting and engraving time the action takes place (Constable, Gainsborough, Hogarth) without becoming pictorial, where literature and art are always servants of an idea consistent, eloquently and powerfully cinematic representation in the pageantry as intimacy. It is a film in splendor wherever you look, whatever show in all that counts.

[View the movie battle scene]

There are still “Barry Lyndon” a detail of special liking for those interested in military history as the author of these lines. Following the fighting in Prussia during the Seven Years’ War, where the protagonist fights the English side against the French, the distances of shooting between the soldiers are accurate, a very rare case of rigor in the historical film or military theme that usually exaggerate by or down for dramatic purposes, proving the importance and care that Stanley Kubrick put the minutiae and details. For he knew not only the devil is in the details, is also the likelihood.

“Barry Lyndon”: a painting by Kubrick – c7nema

the most beautiful film in the world ” (L’Aurore), “ A masterpiece. The best film of Stanley Kubrick “(Het Parool),” The most perfect movie ever made “(Tagblatt-Zurich). Here are some excerpts of the criticisms that when wrote the premiere, the distant date of 1975 Barry Lyndon . Undoubtedly one of the great moments, not only the career of his-author filmmaker Stanley Kubrick, as the history of cinema, is now restored to the Cinema Ideal for digital copy from this Thursday until August 17.

Never a movie had so many plans to appear with pictures of the time (including Hogarth, Watteau, Reynolds and Gainsborough), where color, wardrobe, characterization and scenarios consist of a thorough elegance detail and high aesthetic sense. Much ink ran already on the film have been shot in the candlelight, with lenses developed by NASA (John Alcott photography is magnanimous); the visual beauty; the director have asked the actress Marisa Berenson not caught sun for several months in order to achieve the required color; having been shot in natural locations, not building any scenarios; or even the choice, almost fetishistic, soundtrack, all her songs from the classical period ( Barry Lyndon is by Händel what 2001: A Space Odyssey (1969) did for Strauss). And yet, despite all the stories that prove his undoubted talent perfectionist, Barry Lyndon seems to come from another world. A time when rhythm (calm, like a dream that you breathe) prevailed the assembly, staging the argument, the composition of the exhibition, in short, the cinema as a form of contemplative supreme art, which does not deny its roots in others. Said in a few words, Barry Lyndon 2001 of the eighteenth century.

And yet, it remains the most underrated film and misunderstood American filmmaker. One that is perhaps the masterpiece of Kubrick (defined, among others, by Scorsese who used it as a strong reference to your The Age of Innocence (1993)) was denigrated from the start by poverty of his argument, the pace and the apathy of his characters, although the visual splendor has always been consensual and admired.

No more wrong. Kubrick, at various times of his work, he became interested in human psychology, exposing characters who repressed their feelings face to social pressures, be they political in origin ( Clockwork Orange (1971)), military ( Glory Horizons (1957)), sexual ( Lolita (1962)) or marriage ( Eyes Wide Shut (1999)) and exhaust the an irrepressible rage in key moments of the story with consequences for all the characters (you must remember the suicide of Vincent d’Onofrio in Full Metal Jacket – Born to Kill (1987)?). Hence, to be portrayed an aristocratic environment where impressions are everything and a set of masks is necessary to have to become someone, Barry Lyndon is your more restrained, which does not prevent it contains a the most violent scenes around the Kubrickiano film, the one who beats the adopted son after this humiliating Barry in front of people of high status, by interrupting a recital of music.

But that it is, anyway? Long path involving the rise and fall of Irish Raymond Barry (Ryan O’Neal) in the eighteenth century, willing to do anything to get out of the miserable status that was condemned to live after the victory that got to face a coward English gentleman He courted the press, in a duel. Path that involves serve the English army in the Seven Years War, the accomplice of a dishonest player and become seduce the wife of a Lord. A cruel man? See when Barry plunges into alcoholism after the death of his son in a horse fall (perhaps the most notorious film reference of this work, of course, the Gone with the Wind ) or contemplate to madness gradual Lady Lyndon when he realizes that his whole marriage was absent love.

If Barry Lyndon retains its original power, it is also be a high ambiguities movie , not cosmic philosophy, but of characters, where the onlooker design them the emotions and thoughts that they do not express, but the face and small gestures. As once said, Kubrick in an interview “ I think it is essential, if a man is good, this also know that it is bad and the show, or if it is strong, it decides which are the moments in history that is weak and show “[1].

and then there is the end, perhaps the most memorable memento mori movie where a card-epilogue announces that all related characters “ good or bad, attractive or ugly, rich or poor, are all equal now .” It is the futility of human existence, the eternal dilemma of the meaning of life answered in two words alone, “ THE END
