To give birth in war. Why a new Ukrainian film has every chance of Oscar

The Committee informed that he would check the film for compliance with the requirements of the American Film Academy and hold a meeting with the official announcement of the candidate, since there were cases where the country was selected by the country due to formal violations did not even get into Longgist. We were interested in checking the tape for the quality of those Slavic films that received Oscar before.

The focus analyzed the winning films from the Eastern European region close to us by mentality. It turned out that Klondike has a considerable chance of winning. Here is a list of winning tapes from Eastern Europe. "Shop on Square" (Czechoslovakia, 1965), "Trains under close supervision" (Czechoslovakia, 1968), "War and Peace" (USSR, 1969), "Moscow does not believe in tears" (USSR, 1981), "Kohl" ("Kohl" ( Czech Republic, 1996), "Son of Saul" (Hungary, 2016).

The movie "East-West" (1998), which was nominated for the award, has made maximum success. All these paintings satisfy the following conditions: "Klondike" shows the history of the family, which is at the epicenter of the events of the flight crash MH17 Malaysia Airlines on July 17, 2014 in the village of Grabove, Donetsk region. The young family - Irka and Tolik - waiting for the birth of the firstborn. But the war is not broken into their lives.

Despite the constant quarrels, the husband and brother of the wife seek one thing - to evacuate a pregnant woman. But she refuses to leave even when the village is captured by armed groups. At the same time, a civilian plane is beaten in the sky over the Donbass - the situation becomes very tense. With regard to the first condition, in terms of social tension, it is a dam. Now on international resonance.

The premiere of the movie "Klondike" took place in January 2022 at the American Festival "Sandens" within the framework of the World Dramatic Competition program, where the Ukrainian tape received a prize for the best directing. And in February, Klondike was shown on the 72nd Berlinale in the Panorama program, where the film received a prize of viewers' sympathies. Criticism in the world is known to have accepted Klondike: IMDB's movie rating is 7. 4. On Rotten Tomatoes - 95%.

That is, the third condition for success is met: there are prizes and a decent press. It is difficult to determine the dynamic of the plot by the video. But the movie "Klondike" is released on November 3, so let's see - let's write a review. The picture was filmed by Ukraine in cooperation with Turkey. The director is Marina Er Gorbach. A Ukrainian who married Turkish director Mehmet Bahadir Era and lives in Istanbul. This is the fourth full -length tape that the couple does together.

In this case, the man acted as a producer. The tape won in Ukrainian pitching. Its budget - UAH 25. 3 million. Oksana Cherkashina, Sergey Shadrin and Oleg Shcherbin are occupied by the leading roles. The Klondaika release emphasizes that criticism noted in the film an analogy between "Golden Fever" and "Military Fault", which swept the East of Ukraine. But it is unlikely that this "fever" leads to enrichment, as in the first case.
