Ks. Maciej K. Kubiak: Lord Granted the title of “Outstanding Personalities Organic Work”. What culture creator wants to achieve through your work and work?
Krzysztof Zanussi: I am very honored by this award and it makes me happy. Wiązałbym not only her but my work purely professional, which can be seen in public, or movies, theatrical performances, books I have written, or even lectures that pontificating at various universities. It seems to me that this organic work must rely on something even more. I hope the jury, who put forward my candidacy, is aware that I manage to reach them directly. In my house, there are a number of different meetings, which come with the Polish people, as well as from all over the world. Then live with me and talk about life, choices, what is good and what is bad. It is the work of a minimalist, which will come no fame and glory, which is generally no one hears.
But the jury is noticed …
As you can see, an echo had to disperse. This is an organic work in the classical sense, that is, simply tilt over another person, try to share with them what we have. I do not derive from that neither benefits nor publicity. Do not wait for some spectacular effects. Simply strengthening the people what the better. Strengthening they desire in their lives that something has changed, that they wanted to change the world. If I have this teeny part though, I am therefore very happy.
To change the world, the Lord encouraged by his latest film alien body that has already been shown abroad, while in Poland will be released on December 5. It moved the problem is important, but not by all probably noticed. What would you like to change the film in the modern world?
I find it hard to be a commentator own film. In this video I show the modernity associated with wealth, the coming of the corporation, the progress of civilization, which is undisputed and good. However, it often goes along with the evil that people do not want to see, ie. Lack of any ideals, miserable materialism, the rat race for a career, money and convenience, devoid of any greater value. I know that this film will make many people a huge upset, because they believed that with the help of corporations, coaches, team building meetings, all of these add-ons that are associated with today’s way of making, already promoted that go very far in life. And I’m trying to say: “That’s not true.” Can be found in a very bad point of living, if they believe in it all. You have to defend his person, his identity, his ideals. You can not sell a hundred percent. No corporation has no right to take us to the property and can not shape or our ta stes, or our customs or our views. And if it does, it is abuse. This is also a totalitarianism which it appears. Very many are spokesmen such a thought, ideology, and probably you will throw my throat. Especially that the victim in my story is believer, a Catholic. Corporation haunting, because the profession of faith of such a company is something improper, restricts the making scams, breaking some norms. And this is a conflict. Hence, the movie caused so many attacks. Until I am amazed that these scissors rang so loudly.
This movie did you shoot in the Italian Ancona and Moscow and Warsaw. Are these problems are similar in different parts of the continent, and even the world?
Of course, the essence of the problem is eternal. However, in our part of the world, ie. In Poland, and even more so in Russia, this leap came late in acceleration. Do not have developed it themselves, and borrowed. It came to us and hence the violence of these changes is larger and more is in our human eradication. People were totally unprepared for this. Frequently broke with the family and tradition. No longer believe that the grandmothers, grandparents, parents understand anything because they have no idea about your computer, do not know the new technologies. Meanwhile in them is wisdom. Not CoachU, who came and very often trying to do so. brainwashing, or brainwashing corporations.
More specifically, it shows in Central Europe than in the West, where it all takes place in a way as if milder, people much more quickly regained their sanity. I appeal to common sense not to give up. Grandmother and grandfather to listen sometimes, because even though the grandmother milked cows and do not know much about computers, it’s about your life know. While the coach is trying to cheat often.
In Poland, we have such a small cinema of moral anxiety of values. How do you, touring the world and watching the different trends, would assess this kind of cinema?
This cinema is always a minority. It does not correspond to the widest possible audience, because she wants to make it flatter, nod, say that everything he does is good. And this cinema says otherwise. By contrast, a very wise thing drew my attention critic of some small country. Namely noted that while there was a monolith Marxist ideology, the ideology was very consistent, although it was very false. Then the anxiety, which sowed, be creative, because he smashed that ideology. In contrast, today, if we live in this world, which some say is the world of liquid postmodernity, including complete chaos, it is more important to say that something is permanent, to show that something has changed. Indeed, since the man is on the ground, the values are always the same and you have to find them again in the new reality. These same values are good, loyalty, dignity. These values have always been, if you know how to implement them in the current times. Because the times are different.
The author of the music for the alien body is Wojciech Kilar. It’s the last movie, the soundtrack of which he wrote before his death.
We have worked all my life. I was the first director of the Kilar worked, but it was my first composer and never parted. I did not do a single film without his music. This is a huge loss for me, because without him I am deprived of part of my voice. About my new film Kilar said that is a little different and write the music for it other than ever before. In the end, it overcame the disease and were just notes.
For four terms of office, Mr. consultor of the Pontifical Council. Culture, established by Pope John Paul II in 1982. Pope said that it is to serve the Church’s dialogue with the cultures of our time. What have you been able to do in this space and how you perceive this dialogue today?
Long to talk about it, but as a longtime member of the council, I can not judge her actions. Certainly John Paul II also citing it, did not realize just how deep the abyss. Particularly visible from the side of the Church. From the secular world is already known for a century, because something like divorce dates back to the world of culture and art with the Church. In contrast, as the Church is not versed in today’s culture is its distant, how often does not need it, but rather as people of the Church, it seems that does not need, is a problem, and over this advice worked. And therein lies the paradox. The hardest thing to explain to the bishops. Explain what culture is needed and why, do not leave her alone.
Leszek Kolakowski in a recent essay asks the question: “Is our culture survive if you forget Jesus?”. How would you have answered the question posed by one of the greatest philosophers of recent times?
It is very beautifully observed and of course the answer is unequivocal Kolakowski. Our culture can not survive without Jesus Christ, because it is built on the foundation of Judeo-Christian. And he Kolakowski, opting not explicitly said for sure that the world will fall apart if it runs out of Christianity. I agree with this sentence. I personally say.
