MÁJ 2017
Máj je mesiacom prestížneho filmového festivalu v Cannes. Pri tejto príležitosti ponúkame v Kine Lumière cyklus s viac ako tridsiatimi filmami, ktoré boli v priebehu posledných piatich rokov na francúzskom festivale ocenené alebo v jeho programe výrazne zarezonovali.
Nenechajte si ujsť filmy ako Ja, Daniel Blake, Červená korytnačka, Dheepan, Carol, Sieranevada, Skúška dospelosti, Toni Erdmann, Elle a mnohé ďalšie.
The socially engaged, disturbingly topical drama tells the story of Daniel Blake, a 59-year-old joiner from Newcastle, who falls ill with heart disease and so applies for sickness benefit. While he strives to plough through the absurd red tape involved in getting financial assistance, and being compelled to seek a job in defiance of the doctors’ recommendations, he meets the single mother Katie and her two children. To escape a hostel for the homeless in London, the fatherless family must move into a flat some 300 miles away. Each in their own way, Daniel and Katie do their best to overcome the hardships, while retaining their own dignity. The latest film by the well-co-ordinated tandem of the director Ken Loach and the screenwriter Paul Laverty is an outspoken criticism of the social-assistance machinery, which results in the humiliation and degradation of individuals, reducing them to an irrelevant ledger entry. This year, I, Daniel Blake deservedly received the Palme d’Or, the highest prize awarded at the Cannes Film Festival.

The story of a castaway on a tropical island inhabited only by turtles, crabs and birds, is also a universal story of all pivotal moments in a person’s life. The director Michaël Dudok de Wit, who received an Oscar for the movie Father and Daughter, tells a tale of getting to know oneself, of love, parenthood and changing generations, without using any words, only with the help of craftsmanship-wise perfect animation. A magical story about the circle of human life, understood by generations and across continents, won the special Un Certain Regard prize at the Cannes International Film Festival, and it’s the first time that the classic Japanese Studio Ghibli cooperated with a European director.

Three days after the Charlie Hebdo attacks in Paris and 40 days after the death of his father, successful doctor Lary visits his parents’ shabby apartment, planning to spend Saturday with his surviving family and honour his father’s memory. The priest’s arrival and the memorial reception are expected to be the high point of the day. Everything is precisely arranged – but nothing works out as planned. The schedule is continually disrupted by minor mishaps – late arrivals, uninvited guests, incessant bickering. Grievances old and new rise to the surface, and conversations constantly harp on thorny subjects. Peace is thus denied to both the living and the dead. Using just a few square metres of space, Romanian New Wave co-founder Cristi Puiu creates a museum of human oddities that also symbolizes the state of a post-communist society trapped in routine, hearsay, ideological conflict and the total absence of societal elite. Sieranevada is a deadly serious comedy about living a lie and the perpetual expectation of things that never come. Show more
