W trakcie Gali Otwarcia, która odbyła się 11 listopada 2023 roku, publiczność miała okazję uczestniczyć w projekcji filmu "Biedne Istoty". Ten surrealistyczny obraz w reżyserii Yorgosa Lanthimosa, ze znakomitymi zdjęciami autorstwa Robbie Ryan'a, to produkcja, w której Willem Dafoe zagrał jedną z głównych ról.
Nie zabrakło także innych znanych twarzy na czerwonym dywanie. Oprócz Willema Dafoe, na toruńskich Jordankach pojawił się także Adam Driver, który znany jest m.in. z roli w filmie "Dom Gucci". To wydarzenie przyciągnęło uwagę miłośników kina i mediów z całego świata.
Willem Dafoe to bez wątpienia aktorska legenda, która swoją wszechstronnością i talentem zachwyca widzów od ponad czterech dekad. Jego filmografia obejmuje ponad sto produkcji, w których stworzył niezapomniane kreacje. Dafoe jest znany z ról w filmach tak różnorodnych jak "Missisipi w ogniu", "Dzikość serca", "Żyć i umrzeć w Los Angeles", "Podwodne życie ze Stevem Zissou", "Ostatnie kuszenie Chrystusa", "Spider Man", "Margines życia", "Pasolini", "Antychrist" czy "Lighthouse". Jego wszechstronność aktorska i zdolność do wcielania się w różnorodne postaci zyskały uznanie zarówno krytyków, jak i widzów.
Nominacje do Oscara® to dowód uznania dla talentu Willema Dafoe. Aktor został nominowany czterokrotnie do tej prestiżowej nagrody za swoje wybitne role. Nominacje otrzymał za weterana wojny w Wietnamie sierżanta Eliasa w "Plutonie" Olivera Stone'a, przesadnie oddanego sztuce aktorskiej aktora Maxa Schrecka w "Cieniu wampira" E. Eliasa Merhige'a, menedżera specyficznego hotelu Bobby'ego w "Projekcie Floryda" Seana Bakera oraz legendarnego malarza Vincenta van Gogha w "Van Gogh. U bram wieczności" Juliana Schnabla.
Na tegorocznym Festiwalu EnergaCAMERIMAGE Willem Dafoe wziął udział jako gość specjalny. Aktor pojawił się na Gali Otwarcia imprezy, która była wyjątkowym wydarzeniem dla miłośników kina. To właśnie na tej uroczystości zaprezentowano film "Biedne istoty" w reżyserii Yorgosa Lanthimosa, w którym Dafoe zagrał jedną z głównych ról.
Po projekcji filmu odbył się panel Q&A, w którym Willem Dafoe podzielił się swoimi wrażeniami. Aktor podkreślił, iż Yorgos Lanthimos to reżyser, który dba o każdy detal i etap produkcji filmu. Dodał, iż Lanthimos posiada głęboką znajomość tematu i nieustannie dąży do doskonałości, nie zaspokajając jedynie swoich ambicji, ale przede wszystkim kierując się wiedzą i pasją. "Biedne Istoty" to film, który został dopieszczony na każdym możliwym poziomie i doskonale potwierdza te słowa. Surrealistyczny świat stworzony przez reżysera w filmie, w którym możliwe jest wskrzeszenie zmarłego dzięki niesamowitym umiejętnościom dr. Godwina Baxtera (granej przez Willema Dafoe), zaczyna się w czarno-białych barwach, ale stopniowo nabiera kolorów i wyrazistości. Bogata paleta kolorów sprawia, iż widzowie zostają wciągnięci w ten wyjątkowy świat, a przygody głównej bohaterki, Belli (wcielanej przez Emmę Stone), stają się jeszcze bardziej emocjonujące. W trakcie projekcji filmu można było odnieść wrażenie, iż surrealizm reżysera wylewa się z ekranu, zmieniając otaczającą rzeczywistość.
Bella Baxter, grana przez Emmę Stone, to postać pełna tajemnic. Mimo wyglądu dorosłej kobiety, zachowuje się w sposób, który nie do końca pasuje do roli typowej dorosłej osoby. Jej transformacja, którą można obserwować w trakcie seansu, jest niesamowita, a występ Emmy Stone to prawdziwy popis aktorski. Aktorka bawi, ekscytuje, i porusza widzów, trudno jest od niej oderwać wzrok - podobnie jak dwóch panów w filmie, których gra Willem Dafoe i Mark Ruffalo.
Willem Dafoe, w roli ekscentrycznego doktora po przejściach, który jest zafascynowany nauką i eksperymentami na człowieku, dostarcza widzom mnóstwo zabawnych momentów. Charakteryzacja jego postaci urozmaica każdy kadr, w którym się pojawia. Mark Ruffalo, z kolei, udowadnia swoje aktorskie umiejętności, prezentując się w roli szarmanckiego uwodziciela.
Kolejnym elementem wartym uwagi w filmie jest doskonała charakteryzacja postaci, zwłaszcza dr. Baxtera, granego przez Willema Dafoe. Wydaje się, iż twórcy filmu położyli ogromny nacisk na to, aby każdy detal był perfekcyjny i wpływał na całość. Kostiumy w filmie idealnie uzupełniają kolorową scenografię, tworząc spójną wizualną całość.
Muzyka w "Biednych istotach" może być niewielka ilością, ale odgrywa kluczową rolę w nadaniu energii i emocji poszczególnym scenom. Twórcy filmu doskonale wybrali odpowiednią ścieżkę dźwiękową, która doskonale współgra z obrazem.
Film "Biedne istoty" zostawia widza z wieloma wrażeniami. Fabuła, choć pozornie prosta, kryje w sobie głębię, która z czasem zachęca do refleksji i dalszego zgłębiania treści. To dzieło filmowe rozwija się w umysłach widzów, pozostawiając trwały ślad. Mimo iż po wyjściu z kina może się wydawać, iż Yorgos Lanthimos stworzył w swojej karierze lepsze filmy, "Biedne istoty" zyskują na wartości w miarę upływu czasu. To niesamowite widowisko, które zapewnia widzom niezapomniane przeżycia i pokazuje, iż kino może być sztuką, która wpływa na emocje i myśli. Festiwal EnergaCAMERIMAGE ponownie stał się miejscem, gdzie kinofile mogą cieszyć się wyjątkowymi filmami i spotkaniami z najwybitniejszymi twórcami branży filmowej.

At this year's EnergaCAMERIMAGE Festival, Willem Dafoe participated as a special guest. The actor appeared at the Opening Gala, which was a remarkable event for cinema enthusiasts. During this ceremony, the film "Poor Things," directed by Yorgos Lanthimos and featuring Dafoe in a prominent role, was presented.
Following the film screening, a Q&A panel was held where Willem Dafoe shared his insights. He emphasized that Yorgos Lanthimos is a director who pays meticulous attention to every detail and stage of filmmaking. He also highlighted Lanthimos's profound understanding of the subject matter and his relentless pursuit of perfection, guided by knowledge and passion. "Poor Things" is a film that has been meticulously crafted on every possible level, confirming Dafoe's words. The surreal world created by the director, where the resurrection of the dead is made possible through the incredible abilities of Dr. Godwin Baxter (portrayed by Willem Dafoe), starts in black and white but gradually gains colors and vividness. The rich palette of colors makes this world unique and captivates the audience, making the adventures of the main character, Bella (played by Emma Stone), even more exhilarating. During the film screening, it felt as if the director's surrealism overflowed from the screen, altering the surrounding reality.
Bella Baxter, portrayed by Emma Stone, is a character shrouded in mystery. Despite her appearance as an adult woman, her behavior deviates from the expectations of typical adulthood. Her transformation, observable during the screening, is astounding, and Emma Stone's performance is a true showcase of acting prowess. The actress entertains, excites, and deeply moves the audience, making it difficult to divert one's gaze, just like the two men in the film, portrayed by Willem Dafoe and Mark Ruffalo.
Willem Dafoe, in the role of an eccentric doctor with a penchant for scientific experiments on humans, provides plenty of humorous moments for the audience. The character's makeup and costume design enhance every frame in which he appears. Mark Ruffalo, on the other hand, showcases his acting abilities, presenting himself as a charming seducer.
Another noteworthy element in the film is the excellent characterization of the characters, especially Dr. Baxter, played by Willem Dafoe. It seems that the filmmakers placed great emphasis on ensuring every detail was perfect and contributed to the overall impact. The costumes in the film complement the colorful set design, creating a visually cohesive whole.
While there may not be much music in "Poor Things," it plays a crucial role in infusing energy and emotion into various scenes. The filmmakers made a perfect choice of a musical score that harmonizes seamlessly with the visuals.
"Poor Things" leaves a lasting impression on the audience. Despite its seemingly simple plot, it conceals depth that encourages reflection and further exploration. This film evolves in the minds of the viewers, leaving a lasting impact. Although it may seem that Yorgos Lanthimos has created better films in his career, "Poor Things" gains value over time. It is an incredible spectacle that offers viewers unforgettable experiences and demonstrates that cinema can be an art form that influences emotions and thoughts. EnergaCAMERIMAGE Festival has once again become a place where cinephiles can enjoy exceptional films and meet the most distinguished creators in the film industry.
