The week starts not on Monday, but on ourstraditional selection of the most interior films. That is, such a film that entertains, and can be immensely enjoyable, and at the same time attracts with the design of the scenery. Today's selection includes seven films that can be divided by days of the week. Genres, directors, style and presentation differ dramatically, so you can always miss something, and re-watch something even more than once. Or get into the material - suddenly some film remained unwatched. Birdman (2014) You can get true cinematic pleasure from this film. It is clearly verified, attracts with its spirit and is original in every frame. Filming in one take gives the picture the effect of a theatrical performance, which involves the viewer immediately and does not let go until the very end. The action takes place behind the scenes of the theater, and even an inexperienced person will be interested in looking at the seamy side of Broadway splendor, at how and in what rooms the actors live and prepare to go on stage. Four Oscars, including one for the cinematographer, screenwriter, the film itself, and director Alejandro González Iñárritu, are further proof that the film is a must-see. Far from Heaven (2002) Film starring Julianne MooreThe main role draws attention to the prim and strict era of the 50s, strikingly different from the semblance of political correctness that surrounds us now. The dramatic plot, demonstrating difficult relationships in the family, unfolds in golden autumn landscapes, emotionally bringing both the local nature and the mood and way of life of the characters closer to the sad cold winter. Thanks to the detailed elaboration of the style of the narrative, costumes and interiors, the director was able to shoot a kind of chamber historical film. Barry Lyndon (1975) To Even OlderAt times the viewer is sent to the film by the famous director Stanley Kubrick. This is a story about an ordinary Irish guy who, by the will of fate, had to experience different life situations, including war. The measured narration gives the opportunity to penetrate the entire visual aesthetics embedded in the film. These are battles and landscapes, estates and landscapes, as well as costumes, style and almost tangible signature of a genius who used only natural lighting in this work. The Devil Wears Prada (2006) The title is obviousindicates that a significant part of the film will be devoted to the theme of fashion. And so it is - Anne Hathaway, playing a young provincial girl, gets a job at a magazine writing about trends and collections, where her boss is Meryl Streep. In general, the film is predictable, glamorous and glossy, but light and non-committal. Only the decorations of the office and houses are worth paying attention to. Limitless (2011) Hooked onexperimental drug, the main character played by Bradley Cooper radically changes not only his life, but also his approach to it. The drug greatly increased his mental abilities, and as a result, the character began to earn more. This is evident primarily in his interiors, when at the beginning of the film he lives in a tiny apartment, and at the end - in a penthouse with interesting details for the designer's eye. Crimson Peak (2015) This movie is in the sectionadvice entirely because of the house in which the events of the mystical thriller unfold. Or gothic fantasy, as director Guillermo del Toro called it. This is not a set - the estate was built in life-size specifically for the filming of the movie. The main plot is not at all frightening, rather, on the contrary, it is depressing, but the house, with all its secrets, ghosts, as well as staircases, passages and interiors, comes to the fore, completely and authentically immersing you in the era of the 19th century. The Holiday (2006) Romancecomedy starring Kate Winslet, Cameron Diaz, Jude Law and Jack Black. The two main locations are a modern mansion in sunny California and a country cottage an hour outside of London. And it is the houses that the two main characters swap, but this whole arrangement subsequently changes their lives. Or is it the interiors that are to blame?
