Virgin of the Rocks belongs entirely to Da Vinci by Milota Sidorova

One of the most famous Da Vinci's artworks, the Virgin of the rocks has recently undergone 18-months project of restoration. The work was aimed to uncover upper levels of the image and find out whether the painting was done all by master himself, or with the supply from his students. It's been known that the painting dated between 1491 and 1508 and contained several layers which was, according several scholars the reason to believe Da Vinci didn't finished the work all by himself. Restoration team removed some degraded varnish that lasted back to late 1940s. Experts were then allowed to study the brush strokes and styles in much closer look. The picture finally showed full ! tonal range and indicated Da Vinci's scrutiny and the way of thinking. Renaissance painter was believed to be “eternal perfectionist”. His common habit was to paint pictures for years, bringing them anywhere he was supposed to travel. That is the story of Mona Lisa, picture being painted up to 10 years, mostly on his journeys. Da Vinci painted his artworks within several time periods. Experts from British Gallery said they found two completely unknown designs on the image, one of them was never realized and the second indicates master changed his visions several times back in 2005. The painting also showed only pencil drawn hand of the angel, but also fully realized heads, typical feature of Da Vinci and his way of painting. Therefore the project revealed the painting was designed all by the painter. The image will return on display of the Gallery the next week.

Madona na skalách: výskum preukázal plné Da Vinciho autorstvo by Milota Sidorova

Britská národná Galéria v týchto dňoch ukončila projekt reštaurácie obrazu Madona na skalách. Jeden z najznámejších obrazov renesančného maliara Leonarda Da Vinci bol z trvalej exhibície stiahnutý takmer na 18 mesiacov. Výskum mal preukázať, či bol obraz namaľovaný výlučne majstrom alebo s možnou pomocou jeho žiakov. Metóda ožarovaním infračerveným svetlom preukázala, že obraz bol postupne maľovaný medzi rokmi 1491 a 1508, pričom na povrch vystúpilo niekoľko vrstiev. Experti tie&! 2; odstránili poškodený ochranný povlak, ktorý na obraz aplikovali reštaurátori v štyridsiatych rokoch. Pod povrchom sa ukázala plná paleta farieb, odtieňov a kompozícií, ktoré sa stali bližším predmetom záujmu reštaurátorského tímu. Podľa ťahov štetca a štýlu kresby posudzovali, či dielo patrilo Da Vincimu. Azda najslávnejší maliar histórie, Leonardo Da Vinci bol známy svojím neprekonateľným perfekcionizmom a zvykom ponechávať niektoré svoje diela nedokončené, tak aby sa k nim vrátil aj v budúcnosti. Známy je tiež príbeh obrazu Mony Lízy, ktorý Da Vinci dokončil takmer po desiatich rokoch svojho putovania. Obrazy sa tvorili a vznikali v priebehu niekoľkých rokov, pričom nezriedka menili svoju kompozíciu. Madona n! a skalách taktiež patrí do tejto kategórie! obrazov . Výskum obrazu v roku 2005 indikoval dve kresby povrchom. Jedna z nich sa nikdy nerealizovala a druhú autor vedome pretváral v niekoľkých etapách. Na obraze sa objavila len ceruzou načrtnutá ruka anjela, ale aj plne realizované tváre postáv v štýle príznačnom pre Da Vinciho. Práve tie sa podľa hovorcu galérie, Thomasa Almeroth-Williamsa stali kľúčovým dôkazom pre priznanie plného autorstva obrazu. Obraz sa po celkovej reštaurácii budúci týždeň vráti do trvalej kolekcie galérie.

Swiss authorities rejected U.S. request for Polanski's extradition by Milota Sidorova

Roman Polanski may be relieved these days, since Swiss authorities have put him off the hook, rejecting the U.S. request for his extradition to America. Famous Franco-Polish director is currently ending his 10-months prison stay. 76-years-old director was arrested, charged and plead guilty for sex affair with 16-years old girl. But the case now dates more than 30 years. Polanski stood in a Swiss court was ordered for a jail. But even from the prison, he was able to keep a working pace and lauched his last movie Ghost writer entered Cannes Film Festival in his absence. The director of famous movies just like “The Pianist or Oliver Twist or the Ninth Gate” said he! could break the silence since he was liberated and since Florida court once again dismissed the victim's numerous requests to stop the proceedings against him. For Samantha Geimer who was forced to have a sex with Polanski back in 1977 it would be another “harrasment”, he added. Although he was charged the very next year from six felony counts and served 42 days at a secure unit undergoing psychiatri evaluation he escaped from the U.S. The charges were reduced to only one crime, but he feared the judge may recover initial case. Polanski was later arrested and forced to pay a fine up to 4.5 million Swiss francs (3.0 million euros or 4.5 million dollars) and surrender his passport. Moreover, he was ordered to stay in a domestic prison and not leaving the 1,800 square property in Gstaad.

Polanský na slobode. by Milota Sidorova

Najznámejší poľský režisér Roman Polanski je opäť na slobode. Podľa švajčiarského súdu si odpykal svoj 10 mesačný trest. Švajčiarske úrady taktiež odmietli Polanského vydať pred súd v Spojených štátoch amerických. 76 ročný režisér bol zadržaný a odsúdený na 10 mesačný trest odňatia slobody za sexuálne zneužitie vtedy nezletilej 16-ročnej Samanthy Geimer na chate svojho priateľa, taktiež herca Jacka Nicholsona. Paradoxom sa režisér dostal do väzenia! po viac ako 30 rokoch, hoci už v roku 1977 stál pred americkým súdom. Obvinený bol vtedy celkom zo šiestich trestných činov, avšak súd neskôr zbavil Polanského piatich bodov. Podľa rozsudku si odpykal 42 dní v nápravnom zariadení, kde absolvoval psychoterapiu. Polanskému ostal len prípad Samanthy Geimerovej. V tom čase však režisér zo strachu, že sudca opätovne vznesie obžalobu emigroval zo Spojených štátov späť do Európy. Posledný rok sa americký súd snažil o predvedenie Polanského späť do Spojených štátov, hoci bol už raz odsúdený. Zdá sa, že švajčiarske úrady Polanského zachránili v poslednej chvíli. Polanský taktiež odmietal svoje prevezenie do Ameriky, pričom tvrdil, že americký sú! d opätovne odmieta žiadosti o zamietnutie žalob! y priamo od Geimerovej, ktorej neustála medializácia spôsobuje morálnu ujmu. Režisér slávnych snímok ako Pianista, Oliver Twist alebo Deviata brána napriek pobytu vo väzení nestratil činorodosť a bol schopný dokončiť svoj posledný film Ghost writer, ktorý sa prednedávnom objavil v súťažnej sekcii na Filmovom festivale v Cannes. Polanského zadržali minulý rok, pričom okrem domáceho väzenia vo svojom dome v Gstaade dostal aj pokutu 4.5 milióna švajčiarských frankov (3 milióny eur alebo 4,5 miliónov dolárov).

Facebook Movie Expectations. by Milota Sidorova

Precise headline uncovers the very essence of the movie. I thought that movies were filmed about people, important events or history, but it has become our history if not the characteristic. The Social networking, represented by the most famous network Facebook has found its movie disguise. The Social network movie with the subtitle “You can't make 500 million friends without making enemies” has already made its debut at New York Film festival. Since then the movie became the center of the buzz not only for Americans. The movie follows the history attached to Facebook creation, based on the non-fiction bestseller “The Accidental Billionaires” from Be! n Mezrich. The director promises fiercely and strange collage and production, labeled by David Fincher well known for Fight Club, Curious Case of Benjamin Button or Zodiac. All his movies are characterized by non-conventional storytelling, dramatic editing and surprising end. Director is not afraid to show the core of human beings, the irony and the black humor curved in different directions. He is also not afraid to “kill” his hero, beat him with his own advantages that may turn into a nightmare in a minute. Although this time he had chosen a bit different genre – history drama. The movie is expected for release this autumn and make good money as well. Mark Zuckerberg, the founder found its counter-ego in 26 year's old Jesse Eisenberg. Other people from Zuckerberg environment are played by Brenda Song, Andrew Garfield, Rashida Jones or Justin Timberlake. Facebook has already become the biggest social network worldwide counting several hundreds of users, ! but has struggled problems with privacy regulations that chang! ed witho ut major significance.

Alen ja izbra Karla Bruni by Barbora Misakova

Polnokj vo Pariz - toa e naslovot na noviot film na Vudi Alen, koj se snimaše na niedno drugo mesto osven Pariz. Snimanjeto počna vo ponedelnikot i i pokraj ne tolku sakanata prva dama Karla Sarkozi-Bruni koja igra vo nego, ova e verojatno čest za Parižanite da go prečekaat Alen kako režiser. Filmot ima dzvezdenkasting, vo koj se oskarovkata Marion Kotijar i amerikanskite talenti Oven Vilson i Keti Bejts, no kako što informiraše "Frans 24", najgolemoto javno vnimanie beše fokusirano na debito na golemoto platno na prvata dama što stana pejačka, Karla Bruni. Taa beše pokaneta od Alen da igra vo filmot, no kako š! ;to prizna 42-godišnata žena na pretsedatelot Nikola Sarkozi, taa ne e iskusna akterka i ne e baš sigurna što da očekuva. Kako što mu kaža na novinar: "Jas voopšto ne sum akterka. Možebi kje bidam celosno beznadežna, no ne možam da propuštam možnost kako ovaa. Koga kje bidam baba, sakam da bidam vo možnost da kažam deka sum snimila film so Vudi Alen." Verojatno Francuzite ne znaat nitu što da očekuvaat od nivnata prva dama i nejzinoto glumenje, no tie barem znaat što da očekuvaat od Alen. Negovite filmovi ne se tipično amerikanski. Povekjeto od amerikanskite filmovi se so mnogu akcija kade lugjeto postojano trčaat nekade i go spasuvaat svetot. Za razlika od filmovite na Alen, koi "super pametni i super mudri" kako što veli dopisnik na "Global post".

It is not the right future day! by Barbora Misakova

Back to the Future is not just a movie. This comedy from 1985 became a hit as it has been telling unusual story of Marty McFly, a teenager who was accidentally sent back in time. Director Robert Zemeckis chose some of the best actors of that time – Michael J. Fox and Christopher Lloyd. They didn’t have to try hard to persuade us that what we see is real. The story of a boy who gets from 1985 to 1955 and meets his parents studying at high school was really original and funny and I would say this theme still could be interesting enough for another movie. When Marty accidentally attracts his mother’s romantic interest, it is the best time to repair the damage! to history by causing his parents to fall in love. There is no surprise that “Back to the Future” became the most successful film of the year and grossed more than $380 million worldwide. Also critics were kind and the movie received critical acclaim. Up to the present time there are millions of “Back to the Future” fans what was confirmed also on social network Twitter. On July 5, 2010, U.K. film magazine Total Film started a hoax that the date was referenced in the movie and that July 5, 2010 was in fact “Future Day”. The hoax became a Twitter sensation and was retweeted by thousands of people across the globe. On July 6, 2010 a second photo shopped image emerged and led thousands to believe that this was the day that Marty McFly arrived in the future. Unfortunately, this one was wrong as well. Fans will have to wait until 21 October, 2015, which is the real Marty’s future day.

Allen chose Carla Bruni by Barbora Misakova

Midnight in Paris – that is a name of new Woody Allen’s movie which is set in nowhere else than Paris itself. Filming began on Monday and despite not so loved first-lady Carla Sarkozy-Bruni who is acting in it this is probably an honor for Parisians to host Allen as a director. The movie has starry cast including Oscar-winner Marion Cotillard and American talents Owen Wilson and Kathy Bates, but as France 24 informed, the most of public attention is focused on the supreme-turned-singer Carla Bruni’s big screen debut. She had been invited by Allen to feature in the film, but as President Nicolas Sarkozy’s 42-year-old wife admitted, she is not an exper! ienced actress and is not quite sure what to expect. As she told an interviewer: “I am not an actress at all. Perhaps I will be completely hopeless but I can’t miss an opportunity like this one. When I am a grandmother I would like to be able to say I made a film with Woody Allen.” French probably know neither what to expect from their first-lady and her acting, but they know at least what to expect from Allen. His movies are not typically American. Most of them are big budget movies with a lot of action where people are always running somewhere and saving the world. Allen’s films on the contrary are “super smart and super witty” as said Ben Barnier, Global Post Correspondent. The movie which should get on the theatres in 2011 should allegedly consist of less action and more words. Let’s get surprised!

Pravý deň budúcnosti?! by Barbora Misakova

Návrat do budúcnosti nie je len obyčajný film. Táto kultová komédia z roku 1985 sa stala obrovským hitom a to vďaka neobyčajnému príbehu mladého Martyho McFlya, tínedžera, ktorý bol nešťastnou náhodou poslaný do minulosti. Režisér Robert Zemeckis si pre svoj film nemohol vybrať lepšie herecké obsadenie. Michael J. Fox a Christopher Lloyd sa nemuseli veľmi snažiť, aby nás presvedčili o tom, že to čo vidíme je skutočné a možné. Príbeh o tom, ako sa chlapec z roku 1985 dostane späť! ; do roku 1955, kde sa stretáva so svojimi rodičmi študujúcimi práve na strednej škole je originálny a zábavný dodnes a isto by bol tento námet vhodný na ďalšie spracovanie. Keď Marty nešťastnou náhodou začne priťahovať svoju vlastnú matku, je najvyšší čas zariadiť, aby sa Martyho rodičia do seba zamilovali a on sa mohol vrátiť späť do budúcnosti. Nie je žiadnym prekvapením, že „Návrat do budúcnosti“ sa stal najúspešnejším filmom roka a zarobil viac ako 380 miliónov dolárov. Rovnako tak film očaril aj kritikov, ktorí nešetrili chválami. Dodnes má tento filmový snímok svojich skalných fanúšikov, čo sa tiež nedávno potvrdilo na sociálnej sieti Twitter. Tam 5. júla 2010 anglick! 53; filmový magazín „Future Day“ zverejn! il infor máciu, že práve tento deň bol dňom budúcnosti, do ktorého sa mal Marty vo filme dostať. Neskôr sa ukázalo, že sa jedná o kačicu, ktorá sa však už medzičasom po internete šírila rýchlosťou svetla. Neskôr sa objavila ďalšia informácia o tom, že to bol 6. júl 2010, no i toto tvrdenie bolo mylné. V skutočnosti si fanúšikovia budú musieť ešte pár rokov počkať. Podľa oficiálnych informácií totiž Martyho „deň budúcnosti“ bude môcť byť slávený až 21. októbra 2015.
