Gentleman and enfant terrible. Michael Cimino and Abbas Kiarostami has gone
It's been a few days since the announcement of the sad news of the death of Abbas Kiarostami and Michael Cimino. Both have left their mark on the history of cinema. One was a modest gentleman, the second considered "persona non grata" in Hollywood. But do you know who was where?
The man of "new wave"
Barely half a year ago we showed masterpiece of Kairostami, "Taste of Cherry" on Tofifest within the panorama of the Iranian New Wave. That is why the news of the death of the director of the Iranian Abbas Kiarostami fell upon us like a blow. He died in France at the age of 76.
Not just for us. Just a few days ago American Film Academy has adopted it for its members. It's a shame that it will not be able to nominate films for the Oscar in 2017.
Rebel from Hollywood
Michael Cimino had an Oscar at home. He died a few days ago at the age of 77, at his home in Hollywood. He was the creator of such films as "The Deer Hunter" and "Heaven's Gate." The first introduced him to the top, the second - knocked him into the abyss.
Cimino will be forever in the history of cinema, despite the fact that in his career he directed only eight movies.
