moscow international film festival. and thank you very much for being with us on the show pleasure well russians are pretty critical self-critical everything from weather to the governments that football their movies what's your point of view how did you. would you estimate the thirty third film festival because the press was pretty lousy over the radio in the russian press yes. and the moor they told him about this election you know about the first oh i thought i had the greatest time i saw brilliant movies we discovered these three and discovered i mean that i discovered these three four extraordinary films. utter luxury of being in a hotel room where i open the curtains and there's the red square every morning i

got to see that with this beautiful weather the absolutely charming more lovely people. so i can't find a you. maybe this afternoon somebody who is what about the movie. you were the chair of the jury so it was through the criteria you yourself introduced through for selection for judging no not at all i mean a diversion for me it had to be. it's you can't really rationalize emotion. went through my eyes my heart my stomach my brain not necessarily in that order and then the amazing thing was that the jury we were all very very different and we were sort of avoiding each other at the beginning and and thinking oh boy this is going to be such a battle and everything and hey came the reunion we had all picked

the same film. we were all absolutely. and that was incredible i mean i had in the matter of the night before i was saying ok i want number one to be the special prize the jury prize to be the story and i want the best directed to be from that chinese film which is the hong kong for no one to go into that out of criteria without coming across you know the only thing i can compare it to would be. say. you're presented with this. chest the chest and is and then it's full of treasures and you moment and you have all this wonderful jewelry and you take and there are this necklace and this necklace and this ring and this and this brace and it's all full of this treasure and suddenly there is this perfect pearl. and you take that out.

and that is the film last all of us and then you take out. the amazing opulent full of jewelry magical really and necklace and that is the story and then you find this very strange but perfect design and you can have some of the something exotic about but it's such the artistry is so amazing that's the chinese film there's no other criteria and then it doesn't mean all the rest are fake no we had a couple of fakes there. but they were. comparing it to jewelry isn't that awful but you know what was their criteria. not surprised. because you do have a special here in spades everything spanish you can speak you speak spanish well i mean yet in my local area oh no but but but what what's your opinion spanish cinema

today is really as different a special a spanish football what we can say what makes polish football different but what makes spanish cinema's so special. when good directors good directors under fortunately there's a severe lack of value of. a produces i mean the crisis. very little money. well there's the money makes you think he's paid no then people go for something that they're pretty sure that they're going to get mum's on seats with. you know for the first week and that's it. but this film is really such a jewel and the amazing thing is that that the free press he also gave that the first prize so it wasn't just because we spoke spanish and this is a what's your opinion about the contemporary russians and which is which is also very much criticized by the russians say well these were the days when the soviet

times when the russians did good movies what about today's russia is your personal did you see a lot of you know i saw two the two that were in competition and they were both f. ing brilliant shop ito show which we gave the special jury prize to is a magnificent film it is well it is unbelievably funny it's very sad very russian it is incredibly intelligent it tells four different stories and it tells them from different different is not different point of views but you see what yes it is when you see one story and then suddenly that story is in the other side of the story it is the beautiful images at one point you know the subtitles were very low and very tiny and suddenly the image didn't matter the images that they completely took over and. it went out thing i want to work with this guy this is an amazing film it is amazing the other

spanish movie heart of boomerang is very. very beautiful spanish version russian mission actually spanish. russian you know special feeling to the spanish now it was. it's the story of a young guy twenty three year old he works on the metro and the doctor says to me at the beginning of the movie you know you have this heart problem and you could die any second and how everything suddenly is transformed but not in an obvious way he tells no one he doesn't tell his mummy doesn't tell his friends he doesn't tell his girlfriend he doesn't tell anyone but the filmmaker by showing it by staying a little longer than he should on this cup makes you feel

that. maybe difficult course this guy and in two seconds may never see a cup again and the relationships change or become more of that new feel of this man it's looking at the last moments of his life you have to part you played him in the number of movies that were nominated different systems so you know this feeling of being judged of the way they were what's more difficult to to be judged or to judge for yourself and you can vary as a beginner again i'm not mad about the word judge i mean i think the prizes are often often in this case not but often the prizes are certain. compromise i mean i've been in a lot of juries where. part of the jury is passionate about one film and another part is passionate about another film and so one chooses for the first prize a film that sort of both people agree that they like and so and then after

insisting you know that really doesn't mean we get this consensus which is which is not good. in this in our case it wasn't like that we were all of the jury were absolutely passionate about these three films but in answer to your question. i don't know the festivals they're all with when you go to a festival as a as a participant in the film it's just you're so overworked and it's so crazy and it's so you don't see and you don't don't get to see any movies all you do are interviews and selling the movie and you don't even have time to worry when people talk about sport this. isn't about selecting the best it's about selecting the we're naming the will will be the festival is about selecting the best movie or is it again about. who's won this canal or it's just a certain thing that happens at a certain time i'm sure a lot of it has to do with what time the jury see the film how late they were up the night before. the answer yes which none of us went to all of

them but no i don't think i don't think it's i don't think it's the best i don't think it's it's those those words are all awful i mean we're looking for. movies and we're passionate about movies if you get into a jury have to because otherwise it's. it's an uncomfortable job as you say judging no. and you see and you learn and you learn from every movie that you see is it fun being part of it is a good because it's very hard work it's very hard work we saw. i'll tell you the number thirty four hours and twenty minutes of movies. which but working into they give you chills to to watch something on a d.v.d. and you hope solo now that wouldn't have everything that wasn't me that wouldn't be fair we have to be in the in the movie theater here at a certain time and see it on the big screen with a public that has any action in the public yes yes prejudice you see the reaction

you don't want to be able to find out i don't think it is for me i think i'm going to get completely involved in in the film says children chaplin chair of the thirty third moscow its national film festival spotlight we'll be back shortly after a break we'll continue to say to me stay with us don't go.

well right things were going. please. please. move them it's. just sleep.

see the. same except for me me. c c. news today violence is once again flared up if these are the images the world has been seeing from the streets of canada ashtrays same operations are all the same.

welcome back to spotlight i'm going of in just a reminder that my guest on the show today is joe chapman the famous actress and she came to moscow this summer to be the head of the jury in moscow international film first show that well we talked about a first about yourself well bit well you actually started your acting career maybe not the career bitter learn. when you took dancing classes in switzerland is that true now i wanted to be a ballet dancer because i fell in love with my sister in law who was a ballet dancer and i thought she was the greatest thing on earth and so i wanted to do i wanted to have her hairdo and so i went into dancing and then i fell in love with ballet ballet with my friend that was when you went to boarding school so it's a little nose a little later i wasn't you know i was the i wasn't boarding school but my parents live nearby and i go to the ballet class and you into the belly and i went to ballet classes and then i was a dancer that i was

a professional dancer and then i worked for a while in the circus i trained elephants and then you trained dodos then then i. it's not as romantic as it sounds and so i love the let's find a look for something easy it's interesting that you told me that because in some of your interviews i heard that your dad spencer he was he was strongly against his children taken acting oh yes and you started for all the very for from a very early age being a ballet dancer then serious so what do you say though that you know it was ok for him dosing was ok well i had never thought i'd be that serious about it i was fourteen when i started which is a bit late now he wanted his children's to have his children to have decent professions like doctor lawyer dentists debts is going to engineer would have been ok mark mutex would have been ok but act no that's the pits and so. i left home i can did i leave home or was i thrown out i'm not quite sure i either

left home or i was thrown away out of the seven and and went into ballet and went to school and became a dancer and although i danced really beautifully in my head. the body never falls. oh i was doing without a job and i thought well let's look for something easy with a name like kaplan hey i can get a job in nashville. the year you were through. we should watch the chaplain movie once again to see how it happened the question i wanted to ask you many people today they know your family they knew your father. from the film. i know anything about charles chapman you played in them you played your own ground so how quickly i love this movie myself but how adequate is the food from your point of view is chaplin himself adequate when you watch this movie was it really him visually you know. i thought robert downey jr was absolutely

extraordinary but i don't know if that was daddy i was born when my father was already of white haired. i've got to know him when he must have been about sixty five or six and it is all you see you see you hear. from a child the man the little tramp in the movies with this guy with dark hair when curly hair and it had nothing to do with my father my father was charlie chaplin and the tramp tramp and so i don't know if that's a good portrayal of not. but it's certainly a very attractive one it should have been longer the movie. because it was a long life. you played your first. mistake in line lines yeah it was a it was an extra yeah what was your first impression when you first came to know how it's made i mean that behind the wings of i had no idea i was eight years old

yeah you know i was just so happy not to have to go to school. and then we had to go to school anyway because that was a law that you had to move your classes but i so yes i still reconstruct in london and it was it was ok it was cool but it was nothing i wasn't old enough to really. be curious and appreciate just up one of the greatest movies in which used on the was a was. told yeah. reefs wife in dr zhivago well really great movie but there will be a later versions of the same movie and leading a russian version of a jealous other versions of no i didn't know i didn't know i was. somewhere i can't come anywhere and some journalist found when he sent hey you know they're making. a t.v.

version of i think with keira knightley i'm not sure of that great you know good it's a compliment if they're remaking it they're remaking it it means the story is still good and gives a chance to other people i didn't know there was a russian one zero zero zero be interesting to see that. there's a lot of talk about the talkies killing the. cinema. do you do you share this opinion do you think. that the sound in the movies killed the whole era to which you were. not at all no i think that. my father was very brave he made city lights one sound. but. did destroy a lot of activists whose voices had nothing to do with what the public thought i mean they were the lucky ones that had been voices. and but it didn't destroy

a lot of people's careers and your daughter also become to become what do you think about your children following you. know i'm indignant. i want them to have decent professions. lawyer. no no i really have you know that's what she wants but i said to her the first you know advice is you have to be able to take rejection because if. you if you're lucky and you go to if you go to one hundred auditions and you're lucky you're going to be rejected ninety nine times while you were you harbored the daughter of charles spencer chaplin and it's also the same for you you also go to you had to go to a hundred or do you know i was lucky i was lucky the chaplin name opened every door for me i mean i was so of been so lucky all my life i can't believe it did you enjoy being his old i loved it really i just i got so schooled you know i got to

school i would make friends with this is awful i would make friends with the with the girl who was the head of the class cause who was the cleverest and i'd say if you let me copy your latin exam i'll take you to my house and you can be charlie chaplin. and that's how i got through my studies that's why i'm totally ignorant i covered all the gear and my mother would say this very strange friends. with the glasses the studious tells us they tell our that's how i got through school that's how i mean through life my father was so loved so well will you look you know because hugo chavez which i think you're lucky because you managed to become something yourself not just being his daughter i hope no you're not i have your i've hoped that just because of the way you are also the granddaughter of famous playwright nobel prize winner his name's o'neil. in this part of the world people usually ask you about. the united states those are chaplin those who lost you about

only you is that true yes i mean they do know it's happened but they're much more familiar with you know neal because everyone has studied him in school and because the one dollar stamp is eugene o'neill and really i used to i used to collect instead of family photos family stamps i had it as a charlie chaplin there's a i think a czechoslovak is now. an english as i don't know and then eugene o'neill is the one dollar stamp in the states as i open up my my little thing and i say this is my family they're all stamps it's not a stamp collection because you you know. the renaissance of cinema the first steps of cinema of the i mean you know that these no today you have to watch a lot of very modern and three d. . all those new technologies computer technologies and stuff what's your impression about these these new high tech technology to come and do they bring something good into the cinema or do they kill something good oh well i don't know i saw three d.

for the first time here and musk a million transformers yes it's quite amazing i mean yes i think maybe oh apparently venders has done film about pina bausch in his reading that ought to be research alice in wonderland in three d. . as a matter of fact we right now are sitting in this bar it's a movie theater in the center of moscow where they have been showing soviet three d. movies for the last like thirty years one day three d. is that something new well i don't know standing it is me i think being a perfectionist i remember the three days oh you had one one last which was red and one was very and women had snow movies where. the hero would be walking through a. field of flowers. and the sequel what about an hour and i thought all boys movies. look yes so so so do you think do you think movies need that. and yet you

can't believe you can be against new technology whatever i mean. in stupid to say the movies are movies only when they're done no way you know. i have yet to see a really good movie in the new technology but i don't go to the movies that often except in festivals thank you thank you very much for being with us and just a reminder that my guest on the show was geraldine chaplin granddaughter of a nobel prize winner and daughter of a movie genius and that's it for now from all of us and we'll be back with more force them comments on what's going on and then. and so then stay and party and take your.
