Despite the mystery of being, many of us are able to cope with their lives and avoid undermining the forces of feelings of despair, personal failures and comprehensive meaninglessness. But from time to time we are pulled out of satisfaction with themselves and forced to overestimate their lives. This is what you need to know about existential crises and how to cope with them.

The American Psychiatric Association did not include a description of such a state as an "existential crisis" inDSM. -5 (Guidelines for the diagnosis and statistics of mental disorders - 5). However, psychologists and psychotherapists with him are quite familiar.They describe this state as "existential alarm."

Shock being in this world

The existential crisis can manifest itself in many forms, but its fundamental aspect is deep doubts and the feeling of knocking out of the rut regarding itself, its most essence and its significance in the world.

"The existential crisis is often relative in nature, that is, the attitude of people to everything and all around them is questioned," saysJason Winkler (Jason Winkler) , psychotherapist from Toronto, specializing in this area. "The world is carefully considered in the existential crisis, and often there are no answers to the questions that arise. Usually a person feels completely lost ties, existentially lonely and confused - even despite many loving friends and family, a successful career and professional reputation, material wealth and religious / spiritual faith. "

Wincler says that an existential crisis is comprehensive and can penetrate into every aspect of life. It is manifested very differently, including a loss of meaning, a sense of deep disunity with loved ones, despair and horror before being (for example, a lot of reflection "What is the meaningful meaning?"), And absorbing alarms about global vital issues, for example: Why am I here? Did I mean at least something? What is my place in the universe?

Psychotherapist Catherine King (Katharine King.), also from Toronto, believes that existential alarm is manifested in different ways, depending on their social status.

"For example, people (for example, in a family line or on work), such as aging, and often occurred with death, may experience an increased existential anxiety in relation to death, the so-called 'fear of death'," she told in an interviewiO. 9. Some elementingingbreesBoleblaseSmertie.

"These clients are struggling with very frightening questions that many of us manage to displace from daily thoughts," King says. "In therapy, they may be asked as issues as: why fully live their lives if we still die? What will remain from me in the world when I die? Will I remember me? How exactly?"

For these clients, the fear of death can be stated as the strongest horror that overwhelms them after stress or loss. This is not just a fact of existence, flashes in the background of their consciousness. This is a goded burden.

But, as King notes, the fear of death may unexpectedly arise in connection with other losses. Some people susceptible to fear before death can be provided before dilemmas relating to any attachments and loss. They may wonder why dare to love if there is always the risk of the end of the relationship. In addition, serious vitality can cause horror in people who are prone to this type of fear.

Insecurity

Existential guilt is also worth taken into account as an integral part of the alarm of life, sometimes called "ontological wine." This kind of guilt causes deeply disturbing feelings associated with the fact that a person does not embody his potential or has freedom that does not use.

"Freedom itself can be a source of stress and anxiety - when a person feels responsibility to properly dispose of his freedom, but he is paralyzed in his elections and he cannot act purposefully," - noted Wincler in conversation withiO. 9. "What is called 'depression and anxiety' often has a non-biological basis, but ontological / existential."

King noticed a special existential direction in his practice with young clients. Indeed, youth actively makes decisions that determine the total course of their life, and some of them lead to a stupor. This is aggravated by such factors as online culture, seismic changes in the economy and the accompanying growth of the so-called 'innovation economy' with an increase in temporary and unstable jobs. King believes that, more than ever, young people feel the pressure to be "initiative" and take over the exclusive and sole responsibility for becoming with their lives.

"We mean, we understand that some of the visible life 'elections' illusory or do not matter," - notes King. "Nevertheless, the younger generation constantly changes his professions or adds new and cultivates (numerous) online personality, and paradoxically, the whole" choice "causes a lot of stress - a constant feeling of finding in a difficult situation."

Existential anxiety spreads a wide network

Both Wincler and King agree that almost everyone may feel existential alarm.

( Picture: " On the threshold eternity (Old man in sorrow on the threshold of Eternity) ",Vincent Van GOG. (1890))

"I definitely do not think that there are groups of people who are more susceptible to existential alarm," says King. "As in all concerning mental health, some groups of the population (youth, women) are more likely to enjoy psychological help, but rather, it is because they are more likely to meet with such services, and also feel more support from society when they appeal for help . "

King believes that existential issues can excite any human being, regardless of nationality, socio-economic status, gender, age, sexual life, etc.

"We are talking literally about the state of people; On the immutable aspects of our existence, including death and a dilemma of freedom and restrictions, "she explainediO. 9. "No one can avoid these painful components of human experience, although we exactly differ in the degree of awareness or desire to think about them."

Wincler agrees with King, but believes that some people can be psychologically predisposed to the existential crisis.

"Sometimes I believe that there is a mysterious force - I don't even know how to call it - the specifying 'existential orientation' (very similar to sexual orientation, sexual identity, or even 'type' of personality), thanks to which certain people from nature are more inclined deeply Write to the issues of existence and emotionally to respond to them, to take close to heart, "he clarifies. "This is true, I am sure that the existential crisis is most often happening in the middle of life (in the mid-30s - mid-50s), but I watched it in people of all ages, even in children."

Search for meaning

Existential anxiety and sense sensation is inextricably intertwined. The work of Tatiana Snell from the University of Innsbruck( and) it shows that the feeling of meaning can have a significant impact on our well-being and the level of happiness. Five years ago, Schnell has developed a program for reflecting existential maidos, matrix of four categories, which can be summarized as follows:

• Insecurity: high level of meaning and low level of the crisis of meaning.


• Crisis of meaning: Low level of meaning and high level of the crisis of meaning.


• Existential indifference : Low meaningfulness and low level crisis.


• Existential conflict : A high level of meaningfulness and a high level of the crisis of meaning.

So, according to the first category, some people have a high level of sensation of the meaning of life, but they do not bother them. On the contrary, people in the state of the "existential conflict" category also experience a high level of sensation of the meaning of life, but unsuccessfully trying to designate it or comprehend the world. Such a conflict can cause an unambiguously personal crisis.

For a better understanding where people are in relation to these categories, Schnell conducted a study among more than 600 German participants. The results showed that 61% of people have revealed meaningfulness, in 35% existential indifference, and 4% is the crisis of meaning.

IN a recent study Bruno Damasio (Brunodam BA SiO ) and Silvia Coller (S í lviakoller ) From Madrid University complutunce reached similar results. When surveying more than 3,000 Brazilians, researchers found 80.7% of meaningfulness, 9.6% of existential indifference, 5.7% of the crisis of sense, and 4% of existential conflicts. This means that 120 of the 3.034 people surveyed felt a high level of meaningfulness and at the same time the crisis of meaning. Cultural, religious and socio-economic factors can help explain some difference between participants from Germany and Brazil, but it is interesting to note that similar proportions of people in both countries are experiencing an existential conflict.

In both works, meaningfulness agrees with satisfaction from life, happiness, optimism and hope positively, while the crisis of sense correlates with these indicators negatively. Two unusual categories of indifference and conflict were similar in these indicators, although indifferent personality showed a higher level of satisfaction from life, happiness and self-esteem than individuals in an existential conflict.

Research Damacio and Coller also consideredsearchthe meaning of life and his connection with the four above-mentioned groups. Groups of people who are actively seeking meaning of life look as follows:

• Conflict: 28.55%


• A crisis: 24.95%


• Insecurity: 23.15%


• Indifference: 20.34%

Thus, finding a conflict leads to a large search for the meaning of life than just passing through the crisis (although with a small difference). It is not surprising that the researchers also found that indifference leads to a smaller search.

Interestingly, enhanced search for the meaning of life correlate with a lower level of life satisfaction, and a lower level of subjective happiness, compared to, with an average and low level of finding the meaning of life. And, as the researchers say in their works, "the individuals who are in a state of existential conflict, but only the meaningful meaning, show the same level of happiness, as well as the personality in the group of meaningfulness."

It raises serious questions about whether the search for the meaning of life is fruitful. It is clear that it is not very nice; People seeking meaning are either in conflict or in crisis. Moreover, if they are looking, most likely, they are unhappy or not satisfied with something in their lives.

Copecisisitential crisis

If the obsession with the search for the meaning of life is useless, what to do a person, swelling the pain of existential horror?

Life is full of them, and it is always difficult not to ask the question, what's on the trail that did not choose? ( photo: Nicholas Maton (Nicholas Mutton / CC 2.o))

As Catherine King shared with me, it is often difficult for us to confront the fault that arises when we do not live our lives as fully as we believe or know what could be - and the farther we are moving along the life path, the hardest it becomes.

"Throw smoking after 40 years, refuse devastating behavior, or to leave the relationship in which there were unhappy about the decades, or change careers - about it, such changes raise the question why a person did not do it before?" She notes.

Inspired by workpsychotherapist Stenford University Irwin Yaloma (Irvin Yalom) , King advises its customers not only to meet with fear to do something risky or difficult, but also to accept the fact that their life would take another turn if they decided to change these changes earlier. She reminds its customers: what has been done - already in the past and cannot be changed, and that they most likely did everything they could at that time. Menting this, it adds that the future is not defined and contains new opportunities.

"Just said, these words are unlikely to lead to an immediate emotional shift or reduce their existential alarm," - tells King, but "customers need to use therapy to slowly integrate the new ways of thinking and feelings on a deeper psychological level, while they conduct emotional work. Awareness of their fears, making their loss, and the growth of their ability to use new opportunities. "

In the best form, " existential psychotherapy "In the style of Yala, the will, creativity, self-actualization and human potential, at the same time accepting inevitable limitations and conditions. King tells its customers, especially those who have no 40 years old that the awareness of freedom and choice should be harmonized with the adoption of inevitable restrictions, as well as risk and insecurity.

"Despite all our efforts, life often turns not as we expected," she adds. "For customers, the lifestyle is paralyzed or crowded with life solutions, this can lead to work in therapy, focused on the calmer to withstand insecurity, considering failures as valuable lessons, and appreciate the process more than its results."

Jason Wincler is confident that good relationships and human contact are for most people an excellent way to raise the mood and a worldship in their personal situation.

"If one person talks to another about his existential anxieties and will receive support and understanding in response, then often the level of his despair, associated with existential insulation, is declining," he explains, adding that people are important to continue to formulate their thoughts and feelings in words .

"I am sure that the best answers to the existential crisis - continue to look sensitive, understanding and empathic listeners, as well as to be enthusiastic in life in life - whatever the 'small' or 'big' they are - from sitting on a bench in the park with knitting, listening like the wind is slander in the leaves on the trees, to volunteering In humanitarian aid organizations, to enjoy related relations with someone special, "- adds Wincler. "Find a dedication to get up and get into life daily - incredibly important."George Parusky (George Dvorsky)

If you think that the most unfortunate artist in the world was, say, Vincent Van Gogh, then you know nothing about the biography of Edward Mink. Van Gogh at least had a normal childhood. And Munch was a boy who did not even hope to live to ripe age. True, he died, all the same deep old man, secured and revered. But it did not even bring him even the shadows of happiness.

Edward Munch was the son of Christian Minka, an army doctor who met and combined with a marriage with Laura Katerina Bjolstad, when his regiment was led in the 1860s in a small Norwegian town Lenten. Senior children were born there: Sophie in 1862 and Edward in 1863. A year later, the family moved to Christiania (now Oslo), where three more children appeared - Andreas, Laura and Inger.

Edward Munk (stands on the right) with mother, sisters and brother

Laura-Katerina, probably sick with tuberculosis before marriage, and I remembered the Munk for the whole life, as she coughed in the handkerchief. She died in 1868 in front of Sophie and Edward. Christian was distinguished by religiosity to death, and now it was at all every day to remind children about the proximity of death and eternal curse. So the little Munch was sure that the day will die and turn out to be in hell. To all of the time, he was distinguished by poor health: at first he was persecuted by constant bronchitis, and from 13 years he began to cough blood. However, he was able to overcome the disease - unlike the sister, which died from tuberculosis.

One joy remained at the poor child - drawing. He climbed onto the oven and painted the coal there. Already at that time, his peculiarity was manifested - painting helped him cope with spiritual experiences. Subsequently, Munk told:

"Once I quarreled with my father. We argued about how long sinners were destined to suffer in hell. I believed that God's biggest sinner would not torment more than a thousand years. And his father said that he would suffer a thousand times a thousand years. I did not infer. The quarrel ended in that I slapped the door and left. Forking through the streets, I calmed down. Returned home and wanted to make a father. He already lay down. I quietly opened the door to his room. Standing on his knees before bed, father prayed. So I have never seen him. I closed the door and went to myself. I was concerned about worrying, I could not fall asleep. It ended in that I took a notebook and began to draw. I wrote my father on his knees before bed. Candle on a night table challenged yellow light on a night shirt. I took the box with paints and wrote everything in the colors. Finally I managed it. I calmm down in bed and quickly fell asleep. "

Christian was categorically against the hobby of the Son and sent him to learn to the engineer. A year later, Edward, despite the violent resistance of the parent, entered the Norwegian Institute of Arts. Perhaps the Father would accept the choice of his son if he became a "decent" artist, worked in a traditional manner, received many orders and did not need money. However, Edward chose the radical direction - expressionism, and he also contacted a bohemian company, addicted to alcohol, began to make novels with women, including married.

At the same time, he began working on his first masterpiece "Sick Child", on which he portrayed his sister Sophie on her deathly apparent. When he worked, tears flowed in his face. But when the picture was exhibited, the audience climbed it: "Estate this! This is a scandal! The picture is not completed and shapeless, the image is cut down from top to bottom ... "

Unhappiness fell on mud one after another. Laura's sister begins to manifest the first signs of schizophrenia. Father died. Even the fact that the mock is awarded a scholarship for a trip to Paris to improve skill, does not reduce his pain. Later, in the 1930s, he said:

I remember anything about Paris. I only remember that in front of breakfast we drank to sneak, and then drank to intoxicate

.
Pretty fast Munch becomes a famous, even famous artist. His paintings are still a negative reaction, but sometimes enthusiastic responses are encountered. Munch continues to transfer their own suffering on the canvas. He thinks the cycle "Friez Life" - a series of paintings on "Eternal themes" of love and death. In 1893, he is accepted for his most famous work - "Creek".

The event that served as a reason for the creation of the painting occurred several years before that, for a walk in Christianity, Munk wrote about it in his diary.

"I went on the way with friends. Sun village. Suddenly heaven became blood, and I felt the breath of sorrow. I froze on the spot, fell to the fence - I felt fatigue. From clouds over fjord flows flowed blood. My friends moved further, and I stayed standing, trembling, with an open wound in the chest. And heard a strange stretching cry, filled all the space around me. "

What the artist writes about, perhaps not quite was the fruit of his imagination. The walk took place in Ekacherag, the Northern suburb of Christiania, where the city slaughterhouse is located, and in the neighborhood - shelter for insane, where Mulka's sister, Laura placed; Howl animals echoed with screams of madmen. Under the influence of this terrible picture, Munk depicted a figure - human embryo or mummy - with an open mouth, climbing his hands behind his head. On the left, as no matter if there were two figures, the ocean boil on the right. Upstairs - a bloody-red sky. "Creek" is an amazing expression of existential horror.

A separate part of the biography of Mukka is the history of its relationship with the opposite sex. Despite his sickly health, Munch was very beautiful, friends even called him "the most beautiful man of Norway." Of course, Edward's novels were invariably complex and confusing.

Munk and Tulla Larsen, 1899

Among his vampire mistresses, Tulla Larsen surpassed everyone, the rich heiress, with whom Munch met in 1898, when she was twenty-nine years old. It was a passion at first glance, but when Munk tried to escape, she chased him throughout Europe. Nevertheless, he managed to catch up, and two years they spent apart, but Larsen did not calm down: she traveled down the mug and, declaring the sea coast, where he then lived, settled in a neighboring house. One day, a latter evening brought a note: Larsen tried to commit suicide. Munk rushed to her and found her in the bedroom, but barely seeing his lover, the lady cheerfully jumped out of bed. Then the proceedings were followed whether they could be together, as a result of which someone from two in his hands was a gun, someone clicked on the descent, and the bullet crushed the middle of the middle finger on his left hand.

By that time, the material situation of the mulk significantly improved: recognition came to him, and with him and orders. However, suddenly Munch began to suspect the unrangone people of secret police agents sent to follow him. In addition, he had seizures of partial paralysis: then there was no leg, then the hand was affected by alcohol abuse. In 1908, friends placed him in a clinic for mentally ill under Copenhagen, and a semi-annual stay there went to the artist for the benefit.

In a psychiatric clinic, 1908

Returning to Norway, Munk settled alone. I arranged myself a workshop in an open-air and hesitated her walls of a 4-meter height. In his house there was an extremely unassuming furnishings: bed, couple chairs, table. He continued to earn well and even kept his relatives, but did not communicate with them. He was practically officially recognized as a great Norwegian artist, but he was not worried about the celebrations in honor of his jubileev, and he drove journalists. It is worth noting that in 1918 he even had a "Spaniard", which took many lives, but survived, despite his eternal soreness. At the same time, he was constantly afraid of his life: I was afraid to get sick with bronchitis, I was afraid to turn on the gas stove, I was afraid that someone from his relatives would be sick.

Once at Oslo, Rabindranat Tagore arrived. He acted in the assembly hall of the university with a lecture on art, which argued that spiritual content plays a big role in the art of the East than in the art of the Western world. He immediately liked the art of Edward Minka, and he bought one of his paintings. A few years later, a close friend of the tag was arrived in Oslo.
He brought Munka Hi from Tagore. I took him to the munka and translated the conversation. A friend of the Tagore lowered in front of Munka and said:
- My Mr. and friend Rabindranat Tagore asked to give you his respectful hello. He appreciates your picture as a pearl in my collection.
Munch asked me thank me and ask what he thinks about life after death. Hindu believed that everyone should re-survive his life until they were clean and kind.
Munk asked if he knows such clean and good people who do not need to re-experience their lives. Hindu replied:
- Few perfect. I only know one - Mahatma Gandhi.
Munk asked if the test would escape the need to re-survive his life. Friend Tagora said:
- My Mr. - Great Master. Maybe he is the greatest writer living in India. But he will have to go through life again.
- Is that what the artist reaches in art is not the most important thing? Ask, if he does not consider that the Tagore reached the vertices of art.
Hindu replied:
- Tagore - Great Artist. Maybe the greatest and living in India, but I think that he will have to re-survive life.
- If the artist reaches the vertices of art, then he simply has no time to visit the patients and help the poor. Tell it to him and ask, is it really not all in my art, really he did not reach the vertices of art? - Hindu repeated:
- My Mr. Tagore - the Great Master. But he, as we all, will have to re-survive his life.
At first, Munk silently looked at the guest. Then he took a step forward and bowed low. He lost the balance and almost fell, but he retained, making a few small quick chambers. And, leaving the room, told me:
- Perhaps it to hell.
Rolf Sneneyen. "Edward Munch"

So Munk lived until the Nazis in Germany included him in the list of "degenerative artists" in 1937. Munk feared for his life when in April 1940 the German troops invaded Norway. Whatever enough, at first the Nazis tried to conquer his location. Minka was invited to the organization of Norwegian artists, which was given a new power; He refused and began to wait for the police to take him. Later he was ordered to get out of his own house, but the order was never executed. Completing and frightened, Munk continued to work - mainly above the landscapes and autoports. He died on January 23, 1944, after about a month after his eighty-day birth.

One of the last self-portraits - "Munch eats a cod head", 1940

But Munch and after death did not cease to amaze. When his friends entered the second floor of a munka's house, where, during his lifetime, he did not allow anyone for many years, they were amazed. The room from the floor to the ceiling was filled with the works of the artist: 1008 picturesque canvases, 4443 drawing, 15 391 engravings, 378 lithographs, 188 etchings, 148 carved wooden boards, 143 lithographic stone, 155 copper plates, countless photos and all his diaries. All their works of Munk without any conditions bequeathed Oslo city, and in 1963, the Museum of Mulk was opened in the capital of Norway, where everything was being stored in his house. A huge inheritance of a person who in childhood was confident that he would die, did not have time to become an adult.

The existential crisis is an alarming state or a sense of comprehensive psychological neobiness due to reflection on the essence of being. This concept is commonly prolonged in countries where basic needs are satisfied. The existential crisis of a person can be born in adolescence either maturity (at the time of the estimation of the years), in the maturation of the person. Such an experience can be quite painful, since the ability to find the necessary answers is absent. Certain with an existential crisis is possible by several paths. Part of individuals decides to stop settling by these questions, since many different problems require participation and decisions. Others - find out the exit in the awareness that only the present makes sense, so it is necessary to live a fully, in order to do not regret the digested moments.

What is an existential crisis

The phenomenon under consideration is a typical problem of a reasonable creature, disposed of need to solve topical issues related to survival. In such individuals over-time, so they begin to think about the meaning of their own existence of life. More often, such reflections lead to insane conclusions.

The irrationalistic direction of the modern philosophical teaching, erecting to the Center for the study of the existence of human subjects and approved by the human flair as a basic method of comprehending reality, is referred to as existentialism. He had a tremendous impact on the development of the culture of the last century. At the same time, existentialism never existed in a clean variation in the form of a separate direction of philosophy.

The human entity seeks to believe that existence makes sense, but at the same time, looking at its own being, as if by the part, he suddenly realizes that the existence of people is not characterized by an objective meaning or a given destination.

The existential crisis of a person can be falsely diagnosed, to be a consequence or accompany the following phenomena:

- depressive disorder;

- long isolation;

- acute sleep shortage;

- dissatisfaction with its own existence;

- feeling of loneliness and isolation in the world;

- the acquired understanding of its own mortality, which is more often the coming due to the diagnosis of incurable illness;

- conviction in the absence of the meaning of the existence and purpose of being;

- loss of understanding the functioning of reality;

- the maximum degree of experience, bliss or pain, causing the desire to find sense;

- awareness of the complexity of the device of the universe.

Existential problems of man

Wines is an integral part of human being. The difference between adequate wine and neurotic lies in the motivating factor. Neurotic wines are based on imaginary misconducts, seemed to be against the social environment, parental orders, generally accepted social norms. Normal wine is a call to conscience, simply speaking, it encourages individuals to attach great importance to ethical sides of their own behavior.

Existential wines are considered to be a variation of guilt. There are three forms. The first is the consequence of the inability to live, corresponding to its own potential. For example, people feel guilty, thinking that they hurt themselves. The second is based on the distortion of the validity of the comrades of this individual. People can believe that they cause damage to close or friends. The third is the "wines of separation", the object of this provincial variation is nature as a whole.

Existential propulsion universal. It nests in self-consciousness and does not constitute the result of non-fulfillment of parent "directives", but it follows from the view that the human entity can perceive itself as an individual who can make a choice and cannot. Hence, the concept under consideration is inextricably liable. The guilt of an existential nature does not follow a priority to consider neurotic fault, but it has a resource necessary for transformation into a neurotic propulsion. At the same time, if it is proper to approach the fault variations in question, it can benefit the human entity. It often contributes to the formation of the individuals in individuals to reconcile with the world and sympathize with surrounding entities, as well as developing a creative resource.

The existential propulsion to his own person is a payment that pays an individual for the uncompressiveness of his own destiny, for rejoicing from his own feelings, alienation of his own person from its spirit and desires. Simply put, the concept described can be expressed like this: "If the individual recognizes that it can change a certain line or habit now, it will be forced to recognize that it could change it for a long time. Consequently, he is to blame for pasty years, in its own losses and accreditation. " Therefore, than an adult individual, the more its certain problem or the general dissatisfaction with the Being, the deeper will be its guarantee of an existential nature.

How to overcome the existential crisis

The considered phenomenon occurs when the concept of the meaning of existence and its goal ceases to satisfy, ceases to directly deprive the inner rest. When the individual is aware of the frequency of its own being, does not understand how to fill its own existence. It disturbs his mind, embroils the soil from under the feet. However, it is worth only to outline a certain minor goal and be determined, as a renewless equilibrium is returned.

There are several ways to get out of the existential crisis, one of which is characterized by 4 steps.

The first is to get rid of the gloomy dooms, negative feelings. This is a kind of isolation of yourself from negative.

The next step is fixation. It consists in the fight against alienation, by "binding" itself to a sustainable system of value orience and ideals (God, state, church, fate, people).

The third step is to distraction, which is to prohibit your own thought to flow into a negative channel. It is necessary to fill the being with new classes, hobbies, goals, projects that contribute to distraction. It is on new achievements that one should concentrate all the energy.

The last step consists in. Here it is necessary to strive for their own strength in a positive direction: you can musitize, draw painting, reading poems - to all that contributes to personal self-expression.

Below are other ways to get out of the existential crisis. First of all, it is recommended to try to realize that the source of the problem is the Individual itself. However, the case here is not in the thoughts themselves, but in the culprit they have given the corner. Thoughts arise as a result of the impact of the internal state surrounding the society and responding to the experience gained.

Also should perceive the medium exclusively as it is. Doubted all, a person learns to recognize lies and separate it from the truth. The phenomenon in question is a fairly common problem. Almost every human subject sometimes it seems that he is stuck in the game created and managed by someone from the outside, who does not want the human race of good. When a person feels a crisis, he begins to see that other subjects have achieved heights due to the ability to deceive him, inspire fear, fully ignore. In order to get rid of such a doom, it is recommended to study the history of civilization, it is necessary to understand how generations are shown on Earth, existing eternity. After that, it is necessary to form your own understanding about the direction of world movement.

Human existence seems quite measured and organized, so there is at least a minimum of the least. In order to avoid an existential crisis, one should stop comparing his own personality with social environment and individual individuals. This will significantly grow the ability to receive pleasure from being.

Speaker of the Medical and Psychological Center "Plyomed"

This film Marien Dor removed for several years, setting the goal to focus in one large canvas (more than 2.5 hours) all his ideas, all topics, literally embody his own world. The picture is devoid of familiar logic, the plot and more focused on the images. At the same time, a definite tie in the film is.

Two men meet two girls in the amusement park, as well as their familiar, after which they go to a big house outside the city. There are two more people, an artist and his muse, a disabled girl. It is in the house and will unfold the main action of the film.

Familiar with the previous works of the Dora viewers will easily see that they all seem to be steps before " Melancholy Angelov" Here is a pitiful, disgusting hero of Carswen Frank, as if transferred from " Documentary garbage", Here is the character of Zens Raggie from short films" Provocation"- The same crazy, one of the world. Documentary sketches of the Cemetery of the Cemetery in Mexico, the slaughter of the cow on the slaughter (here replaced with a pig). At the same time, the director creates extremely limited. Its bright visual style is perfectly combined with philosophical content.

The world of Dora is strange, uncomfortable, as if descended from the webs of Jerome Bosch. At the same time, in the plan of philosophy, the ideas of Empedocle, repeatedly mentioned, who learned that the world rules love and hatred as two opposite forces. Meanwhile, in the fun on the edge of the abyss, in Pira, during the plague, the influence of D. A. F. de Garda, especially his books " 120 days Sodoma».

The dora sharp, with precise strokes, creates Requiem at the perceptible world, sharpened in the abyss of sin. Hell came everyday life and completely without angel pipes. Just people suddenly lost the human appearance and turned into monsters, the main desire of which is to have pleasure to the coffin. After all, if God is not, it does not have the meaning of life, and the morality is very conveniently replaced by a different worldview, for example, Lieberthen philosophy. And it is possible and not to look for a specially excuse. The world is chaos, and life is finite. Long man, dead - nothing will change, as repeatedly spoke in the film.

In space " Melancholy Angels»The God of Decks, and people devoid of divine light go crazy every one in their own way. The director even turns inside out the aesthetics of an ancient tragedy, because his film, built strictly along the canons of classical art, is not moving towards the catharsis. Rather, it is slow, but an inexperienced movement in hell. The world dies literally in our eyes, chaos displaces the logic of being, and hatred finishes the last remnants of love.

Despite the extreme directorial style, the film does not seem immoral. The director, being a doctor, is accustomed to always tell the truth, to accurately diagnose, despite the insults, slander and hatred in their address. It shows the depths of the degradation of a person precisely then to people, seeing hell, remembered the paradise. God did not turn away from people, and people turned away from God. Eat, Pey, have fun, my soul - these words from the ancient Psalm fully describe the content of the film of the Dora.

What the angels are sad, the stone figures of which regularly shows the director? And what leads the heroes in the state of the insanity? These questions can not be answered, without being familiar with existentialism.

The person, according to the philosophers-existentialists, is the one who realizes its being is experiencing it. In the process of human life accompanies fear, what is called existential horror. The global types of fear include fear of death, moral inconsistency and the feeling of meaningless life. Such fear creates a rue in the cage. A man extracts rage because of powerlessness anything to change. That's the majority of the heroes of the Dora experience the fear of life, they scares them freedom, spread outside the castle, and better hide in the shell, in four walls. They brow and rolling, convinced of liberties, are also experiencing pathological hatred for those who do not look like them, for example, to 17-year-old Bianke, seeking to seduce it, defauve, destroy her personality. Dora does not accidentally compare it with an angel, hinting for natural purity of thoughts and preparing to a cross path.

Life is suffering. Dora knows how a man is weak and how low. But all the same dora, and not Battheraite is a religious director. One Catholic researcher rightly divided the producers into four types, by their attitude towards God - Bunuel (the absence of God speaks of the absence of God), Fellini (the presence of God speaks of the lack of God), Bresson (the presence of God speaks of the presence of God) and Bergman (lack God speaks of the presence of God). That's a dora, creating a fresco about the world without God, about a man, rustling against Chaos of Being, impuditly proves that a person still longs for the creator, for the world without moral began to turn into hell. Therefore, the heroes of the Dora can't squeeze their passions, because hell, according to theology of theologians, the characterizes that passions increase for the soul many times, they literally literate the soul.

If you select cinematographic analogs with a better film of the Dora, then it is most similar to the scandalous " Large frustral"Marco Frereri. Similar directories. After all, Frenerry, too, a doctor who is called by his profession to fearlessly diagnoses. Dora only avoids social criticism and satire, focusing more in the philosophical side. At the same time, Dora Romantic and is fascinated by the perfection of nature. It is hardly a modern avant-gardeist, more able to convey the mood of the film through the landscape, and even the corpses of animals serve only a reminder that death should certainly follow. In parallel with the background Trier, the Dora quotes " Face"Ingmara Bergman, with special love showing a fox, with special love (only at the von Treier Lisa still says the Phrase Bergman -" Chaos rules the world "). In the world, the Dora, of course, saying fox would be too unnecessary. His world, as it were, our iznanka, a mirror reflection, where the moral apocalypse occurred, and the man suddenly realized the chaos of Being and went crazy.

Of course, the provocateur's dora, and therefore its cinema is not far for everyone, as, however, Art and Marco Frereri. And Bergman, what to hide, caused sometimes no less hate with the zealists of morality and guardians of optimistic tragedies.

Over the years, the Dora becomes more difficult to shoot. He hardly found funding for a medical drama " Carcinoma", And the creators of long-standing half-breeding work" I love driving"(And, I must say, frankly unsuccessful) did not sell him the right to remote, although the dora could better highlight serious topics contained in this extreme avant-garde, clearing from the social humor.

After " Melancholy Angels"The director was literally filled with letters with the threats of physical violence, after which the Dora took the pseudonym and began to appear in public even less. But, having familiarized with his main job, you come to the conclusion that such a film has the right to be. His unhurried rhythm gradually conquers, and provocative scenes are calculated in advance by the director, in order to especially emphasize the depth of fall, not the heroes even, but the whole universe.

Is chaos right rules world? Is there really a monster person? Why does God love him anyway, despite the fact that we all torment themselves and each other? And why are people, even denying his being, so jealous without God?
