CHRISTIAN PETZOLD: ŽÁNER, LÁSKA A PENIAZE

Január 2017: Barbara, Fénix, Jerichow, Strašidlá, Vnútorná istota, Yella

„Nemôžeš byť zamilovaný keď nemáš peniaze.“ Laura (postava z filmu Jerichow)

 

Christian Petzold je najvýraznejším a zároveň najdôležitejším predstaviteľom skupiny súčasných nemeckých režisérov kritikmi nazvanej Berlínskej školy (Christian Petzold, Thomas Arslan a Angela Schanelec). Jeho filmové svety sú dôsledne obývané postavami, ktoré sa ocitajú v situáciách kedy sú prinútené, či už vedome alebo nevedome, skrývať pravdu o sebe samých. Ich ekonomické a milostné záujmy sú poprepletané a často krát ich sprevádza (ekonomická i milostná) paranoja. Prepadávajú sa cez mriežku spoločnosti a márne sa snažia vrátiť do normálneho života. Stávajú sa z nich duchovia. Neviditeľní medzi nami. Snívajú o lepšom svete, no ich sny sa nakoniec, v poslednej chvíli, rozplynú ako fatamorgána. Petzold svoje postoje voči neoliberalizmu, ktorý zásadne zmenil (a dematerializoval) prácu samotnú, krajinu i ľudí na tej najintímnejšej úrovni, predostiera divákovi cez prizmu filmových žánrov (film noir, horor, thriller či historický film), ktoré pretavuje prostredníctvom svojho rukopisu do výsostne autorských filmov.
