“HE + SHE” by Alexandra Frank: he is like her, but she is not herself

In cinemas there is a melodrama, a love dramedy by Alexandra Frank “HE + SHE” on the theme “what are we like” and why dislike happens to us
“The inspiration for the creation of the picture was my author’s project, which was originally conceived as a base for presentation video interviews of artists,” the director notes. — As a result, about 287 actors of different ages and experience were filmed, and with each of them, in conversation, we somehow touched on the topic of love, family, the relationship between a man and a woman. I’ve heard a lot of touching, sad, funny, and sometimes just comical love stories. All these stories were the impetus for the creation of the film, which includes five short stories about family misunderstandings, giving food for sad reflections.”

The point here is in the peculiarities of the author’s optics — the director lived abroad for a long time and, upon returning home, “considered” the confessions of the interviewees from scratch as a fresh slice of collective psycho. The insufficient sterility of this laboratory work, presenting social ulcers in one package with professional transformations of actor egos, affected the quality of the result.
