Mournful Unconcern

Taglines

Overview

The action in this lavishly produced film takes place at an oddly ark-shaped mansion during World War I, and in spirit (although not in story) it reflects the play which inspired it, the ferociously antiwar Heartbreak House by George Bernard Shaw. A large group of family and friends have gathered at this country house to dance, drink, and converse. Their conversation, in particular, is adorned with erudite literary references and quotations. Despite their apparent refinement, their preoccupations are simple: sex and violence. Disquieting images break the tranquility of the vacationers' inappropriate idyll: some of these include documentary footage of starving African children, images (both real and re-enacted) of George Bernard Shaw going about his daily life, and a corpse coming to life on an autopsy table, only to cheapen that miracle by scolding a group of women. The music used in the film ironically points to its disturbing message and is uniformly anachronistic.

Скорбное бесчувствие

Taglines

Overview

Фантазия по мотивам пьесы Б. Шоу «Дом, где разбиваются сердца». Первая мировая война. В доме старого капитана Шотовера появляются странные гости, а сам дом напоминает Ноев ковчег, где жизнь течёт по своим законам. Внешняя жизнь как бы и ни при чём: флирт, переходящий в глупость, любовная драма, скрывающая ненависть, боль и тоска в уплотняющейся до взрыва пустоте…

Dolorosa Indiferencia

Taglines

Overview

A la mansión del excéntrico capitán Shotover (Ramaz Chjikvadze) llega una comitiva de extravagantes personajes, entre los que están Ellie Dunn (Victoria Amitova) y su prometido, el Jefe Mangan (Ilya Rivin). A la amenaza de una guerra inminente se unen los escarceos amorosos, los pantagruélicos banquetes, muertes súbitas, autopsias y resurrecciones. Finalmente, los personajes se encontrarán en una precaria balsa en medio del océano, lo que representa la incertidumbre del futuro en un medio tan peligroso como inestable. Libérrima adaptación de la obra de teatro de George Bernard Shaw "La casa de las penas" (Heartbreak house). El autor intervendrá en la historia para tratar de poner orden en la representación de su propia obra. (FILMAFFINITY)
