Berlin. The president of the united States Donald Trump is not contained in the list of guests of the Festival of Cinema of Berlin, but he fails to mention: his fellow countryman, actor Richard Gere loaded today against him by associating refugees with terrorism.
“The worst thing about Trump is that he has managed to associate two words: refugees and terrorism,” said today on the Berlinale the actor of 67 years, who premiered The Dinner in the official section in competition. Gere, involved on a personal level, in the defence of human rights, explained that before the refugees they wanted to help and now they were afraid.
he Also lamented that since the arrival of Trump at the White House have increased significantly by hate crimes. “It has been stimulated by the fear and that makes us do terrible things,” he said. It is precisely in The Dinner, Gere plays a politician looking to become governor. Meets to have dinner with his brother (the comedian, british Steve Coogan), who suffers from a mental illness, and with their wives (Laura Linney and Rebecca Hall) after learning that the children of both of them have committed together a horrible crime.
“There are so many things to be angry now,” said the film’s director Oren Moverman, who is israeli but is based in the united States, in indirect reference to Trump.
The director likes the characters that are angry with the world, concerned about social issues, said at a press conference. And that is the first impression that you offer your players, but over dinner in the luxurious restaurant of high cuisine will be revealing how you really are.
Moverman (Israel, 1966), who made a name as a scriptwriter (I’m Not There) and in a principle adapted to the acidic novel by the dutchman Herman Koch for that Cate Blanchett is estrenase as a director, take advantage of the conflict between the two brothers to analyze in addition to the history of the united States and makes his characters travel to Gettysburg, where was fought in 1863 a major battle of the american civil war. “There are pitted brother against brother,” said the director.
The Dinner, which has a solvent and effective work of the interpreters, has been received with some coldness. The competitive section of the Berlinale did that today came to light secret passions and shameful. The director of the Hungarian Ildikó Enyedi surprised critics with On Body And Soul, a tender and unusual love story that takes place in a slaughterhouse between a young, cold, meticulous, and that repudiates all physical contact (Alexandra Borbely) and the administrator (Géza Morcsányi), whose arm is paralyzed. “They have a treasure inside, like all of us,” said Enyedi, the first of the four principals in this issue compete for the Golden Bear.
Written by the director herself, this melodrama romantic is the fifth film of the film-maker born in Budapest in 1955, which won the Golden Camera in Cannes for his first work, My 20th Century, and has competed in the Festivals of Venice and Locarno, before focusing on the small screen, where he has been heading the Hungarian version of the series “In Treatment”.
The day’s official close with the projection in a special feature of T2 Trainspotting, the sequel of all a cult movie, as was Trainspotting. The british director Danny Boyle, an Oscar at home (Slumdog Millionaire), brings together 20 years after the protagonists of that story about a group of drug addicts in Edinburgh to those who have embodied Ewan McGregor, Ewen Bremner, Jonny Lee Miller and Robert Carlyle. Boyle pays homage to the original tape including some of his scenes.
