‘The last sigh’: old man, although always recognizable Costa-Gavras | Culture

The autobiography is titled paradoxically and with lyrical breath See where it is impossible to arrive. He has arrived with his cinema over sixty years to recognizable places, frequently taking care of victims and also of his many unpunished executioners. His work was labeled as a political cinema and had a faithful and aware audience for decades. He triumphed and also crashed, but people always knew that he was going to find in their films messages, moral claims, portraits of injustices and horrors extracted from reality, personal and ideological commitment to the stories he told. There was never possess in him. The message of his films was believed. However, he also tried to make them complex and never forgot to create a show, to keep aware spectators. It has been and is a valuable director. Also a consistent man.

Costa-Gavras is 92 years old. And he continues to make cinema. Your last movie is titled The last sigh. It is the same as that of the tasty memories of the irreplaceable Luis Buñuel. In See where it is impossible to arriveCosta-Gavras said that he had already given the final goodbye to the closest and most endearing people, apart from his family, who had treated in his life. Human and professional :,,,, people like that. Everyone was leaving the other neighborhood. Therefore, it is very consistent that in what can be his last film, Gavras has adapted a novel from Euthanasia, in the people who are reaching the irreversible final and in the way of being able to help them to pass to the dark and perennial tunnel be as painful as possible.

It is starred by a successful writer and philosopher who has diagnosed that progressively irreversible disease has been installed in his body, that the monster will not stop in his predatory nature. Look for knowledge, refuge and advice in a doctor as instructed as generous, as intelligent as comprehensive, a real humanist. The relationship of both at the final crossroads is well counted. And various cases of people will appear to which only the end awaits and the various emotional and psychological reactions before it.

Anguish appears, terror, the desire that the outcome is as short as it is painless, the need for the beings to love and for those who are loved, resignation, anger, despair, attachment to happy memories, the need for help to make the most traumatic possible traumatic. I do not understand the. It seems to me as compassionate as necessary. And not only with the terminal patients. Also with those people whose body is not irremisibly ill, but to which they are torture to continue in this world and do not have the capacity or value to get without the need for help.

Almost everything is credible in this didactic and honest film. Perhaps the peace and cordiality that reign in the portrait of the Gypsy family, in which it has a remarkable appearance interpreting the dying. So is the sequence in which the always admirable appears briefly. It is a film consistent with the themes and purposes that have always interested in Costa-Gavras, someone who always deserves respect. And admiration in some cases.

I saw again a little time ago Missing. Keep scary. It is bleak and with an atmosphere that sometimes seems dreamlike. It also awakens grief.
