ZONNENFELD Barry

ZONNENFELD (Sonnenfeld) Barry (p. 01. 04. 1953), an American operator, the director.
. He took off his now classic films the Coen brothers 'Just like blood' (Blood Simple, . 1984), . 'Raising Arizona' (Raising Arizona, . 1987) and 'Pass Miller' (Miller's Crossing, . 1990), . as well as tapes 'Throw Mummy from the Train' (Throw Momma From The Train, . 1987), . 'Big' (Big, . 1988), . 'When Harry Met Sally ...' (When Harry Met Sally ..., . 1989), . 'Misery' (Misery, . 1990),
. In his directorial work Zonnenfeld not as gloomy as the Coen brothers, on the contrary, is the comedians, though his paintings - one of the varieties of postmodern Hollywood. He made his debut as a director in 1991 television film 1964 film version of 'Family of Eddams' (The Addams Family). In the early 60-ies there was a large series of drawings, the timetable, cartoonist Charles Eddamsom for a very intellectual magazine 'New Yorker'. Its popularity was determined by black humor, set off idillistichnost era late 50's. Perhaps the reason for renewed American interest in the topic has become a surplus leaf in most 'family' films of the Reagan-Bush era. But you can treat 'Semeiko Eddams' as a parody of 'soap opera' - the story about the life of a 'typical' family for over a fairly long period of time. Nabriolinenny aristocrat affected by manic-depressive mood shifts father of the family, his dead wife, pale, their gloomy kids, roaring zombie servant - they are all imprinted in the minds of Americans as a kind of folk heroes. Members of this eccentric family compliments 'from the opposite' - constantly delivering to each other and others in trouble, as if they were good things and compliments. And the 'unspoiled' novice in directing Zonnenfelda was excellent film, well past at the box office and earned the continuation of 'Values semeika Eddams' (Addams Family Values, 1993).
. With success was adopted by the public and the critics, the picture 'to obtain your little man' (Get Shorty, . 1995) - an amusing comedy about, . as a mobster in the performance of John Travolta was 'his' among Hollywood producers, . but the band still does not bear the special characteristics of authorship Zonnenfelda,
. His directorial career reached its peak in the main expensive film 1997 'Men in Black' (Men in Black). Remember ironic mystic 'Ghostbusters', . align with the 'prishelcheskoy paranoia' television series 'The X-Files' and multiply in the mock-lyrical atmosphere of western 'Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid' (and the director himself calls his film 'The French Connection' with the aliens ') and you will get an approximate formula of' Men In Black ',
. Perhaps it is now headed by Hollywood Zonnenfeld postmodernism, at the origins of which were Spielberg, Lucas and Zemeckis. However, it should be noted that the producers 'Men in Black' is still the same Steven Spielberg.
