Brimstone 4K 2016

A merciless masterpiece. So that our sugar boredom and ant feelings do not seem to be over the limit of existential suffering. Historically real and cruel: the puritanical wild west with the ideology of the sinfulness of women, illiterate adventurers, prostitutes with wise eyes, insensitive fanatics, boys shooting their own fathers on various occasions. At first, I suddenly had an allusion to "The Scarlet Letter" dir. Joffe, but no ... "No" is categorical! Everything is different, although the surroundings are the same hopeless, Baptist, where "pray and work". In a modern way, aptly, without flirting with the audience waiting for pleasures and satisfaction, backhand and with such a slowdown in speed, and there is no lyricism here either. This is a real thriller, without any strangers, "strangers" and fake circumstances. Here you believe every shot. Thriller because it could be.

You don't have to wait for the "mood" to watch the movie. He will not be, there is no such mood that cut off tongues, children growing up from violence, iron gag masks and a hanged mother. Just look, it will be unbearable - you can turn it off. But sometimes, in between pop music, you need to feed on such plots so as not to get sugared. The actors all play in such a way that you do not think: who is there from the famous, who is from the promising ones. Organic. The camera work is mesmerizing, the music is addictive. Bravo to all who worked!

I do not agree with the assessment of the film as a religious feminism ... The ideas of a pervert are only his ideas, Christ is not to be attached to anything. And the rights of women are just like the right to be human: nothing political and supernatural.
