Eine murul - Priit Pärn (1987)


Desayuno sobre la hierba / Breakfast on the grass
Estonio/Estonian | Subs: Castellano (propios), English

Basado en el cuadro de Monet "Desayuno en la hierba", se presenta en cinco fragmentos animados, de diferente factura y estilos, en los que se aprecia la degradación moral del ser humano. Con cada nuevo segmento, la historia mejora, se enriquece con los cruces de unas con otras y con los diferentes aportes de estilo.




Priit Pärn es un polémico autor estonio y uno de sus principales autores actualmente. Sus obras no dejan indiferente a nadie, pero ignorarlo implica dejar de lado uno de los más importantes autores del último tercio del siglo XX del este de Europa.
Ecólogo de profesión originaria, Pärn entró a formar parte de Eesti Joniisfilm, el estudio de animación del estado soviético estonio casi por casualidad. Su fuerte personalidad y su estilo irreverente produjo una serie de importantes cambios en el estudio, poniendo un punto y final a una animación excesivamente disneyana y seria. Su dibujo, anárquico, fuertemente satírico y con un punto surrealista, es fácilmente reconocible y las nuevas generaciones de animadores estonios no han podido desprenderse de su estela.



Pärn's "Breakfast on the Grass" (1988) is considered by many to be one of the masterpieces of animation. In examining a few moments in the daily lives of four Estonians, Pärn trenchantly critiques life in the Soviet Union by giving viewers a rare glimpse of the absurdities of Communist society and what people endure on a daily basis just to survive. As with "Triangle," "Breakfast on the Grass" astonished Russian audiences with its frank portrait of modern Soviet life. 

"I think the general audience was not prepared for this kind of animation," recalls Pärn. "It is a description of a very concrete society told in a realistic way using a dramatic structure that is closer to a live-action feature. But the story is performed using the tools of animation -- visual gags, metamorphosis and different drawing styles. Usually so-called serious stories are dark, heavy, slow and boring. I try to make my serious film funny, multileveled and ironic. I think this fusing of the serious and comic confused people."



An illegitimate conceptual crossbreeding of Lenny Bruce, George Grosz and Jean-Luc Godard, Pärn's animated films are bitingly funny, complex explorations of the effects of ideological systems on human beings. 

His work has received roaring applause and fancy awards, but like much of independent animation, Pärn's films are rarely shown outside the festival circuit. In addition to being an animator, Pärn is also a noted graphic artist, teacher and lecturer whose influence is so far-reaching that students from Finland, Switzerland and America travel to Estonia to work with him. And later this year, he'll receive the prestigious ASIFA award from the Association Internationale du Film d'Animation, which is given to an individual who has made significant contributions to the art of animation.

Hotel E - Priit Pärn (1992)


Sin diálogos/No dialogue

"Hotel E", una amarga crítica de la hipocresía de los antiguos bloques Este y Oeste. Mientras que la cultura oriental reprime el arte y la lengua, en Occidente, la libertad para todos, carece de arte y de idiomas y, con ello, de individualidad. Jugando con los estereotipos, las pinturas del Pärn Oriental son oscuras, de color gris.. mientras, llena el mundo occidental con colores brillantes y amistosos y sonrientes rostros. Debajo de esta muestra colorista de arte pop, parece estar diciendo que Occidente es la cultura de la esterilidad y la ilusión. Nadie hace nada, no se dice nada más, pero todo es "simplemente genial."



"Había estado viajando mucho entre Oriente y Occidente", dice Pärn. "Yo he vivido entre dos sistemas. Esta es mi propia historia, hasta cierto punto. Pero esta no es una película sobre dos sistemas, de Oriente y Occidente; Para mí es una historia acerca de las personas. Aunque la independencia de Estonia ofrece más libertad, viene con precio: "En la etapa soviética todo lo que no era permitido estaba prohibido. Así que hubo una interminable serie de restricciones que no son sólo de naturaleza política, sino sólo la razón. Ahora todos los límites los pone la economía, la especulación y el blanqueo. El resultado final es muy a menudo el mismo que antes, a veces peor. "

This is neat take on the political divide witnessed in Eastern Europe during the 80s and 90s... dissolution of powers and the differences in rule, etc. NOT a plot-less toon for drug addled minds, though the semi-surrealist animation may invoke the dirty-hippie hater in you if Disney is more your thing and you are without a decent education.

The previous reviewer just gave themselves away as an ignorant rube by saying "it has no sort of narrative that the ordinary person could understand (without drugs)" and then they went on to say that the two styles of animation hurt their head. Perhaps fairly recent history and current events blow circuits in their brain as well.

The divide is as follows: one pleasantly drawn was for the happier way of life that would result by a new government, the other a very dark scary place because of tyrannical rule. This is actually a surprisingly insightful, look into the tolls taken on people during that shaky time created by a person who lived very close to it all.

Nice & short, cool aesthetic.

In 1992, the year after Estonia became independent, Pärn completed "Hotel E," a bitter critique of the hypocrisy of both the East and the West. While the East represses art and language, he contends, the West, for all its freedom, lacks art and language and, with that, individuality. Playing with stereotypes, Pärn paints the East as a dark, gray world while filling the West with bright colors and friendly, smiling faces. Beneath this pop-art sugarcoating, he seems to be saying, the West is a culture of sterility and illusion. No one does anything, no ones says anything, yet everything is "just great."

"I had been traveling a lot between East and West," says Pärn. "I was between two systems. This is my own story up to a certain point. This is not a film about two systems, about East and West; for me it is a story about this person." While Estonia's independence afforded Pärn more freedom, it came with a price: "In the Soviet time everything which was not permitted was forbidden. So there were an endless number of restrictions that were political, but just insane. Now all the limits are connected with money. The final result is very often the same as before, sometimes worse."
