I STILL HAVE THE STRENGTH TO FIGHT

by VERONIKA BEDNAROV

On Sunday, after the festival, children dressed in pirate clothes were seen in Karlovy Vary.
No one else in the modern history of the Karlovy Vary Film Festival had teenagers from all over the country screaming, and neither mothers nor grandmothers were so impressed. JOHNNY DEPP (58) was at the festival primarily for his fans: he gave them hundreds of signatures, hugged many of them and created a warm atmosphere. A small press junket, where along "Reflex" were also the Polish journalist Janusz Wroblewski from "Polityka" weekly was present, took place at Pupp on Saturday afternoon before the closing ceremony.

How are you?
Good. Did you see-
Did I see your new movies? We saw both of them.
No, that's the last thing I would ask. I meant did you see the whole festival, if I understand correctly, this is the last day today? And you've been here the whole time? Isn't that exhausting?

Is it what you smoke that smells so nice?
Golden Virginia tobacco. I roli my cigarettes and use these dark brown licorice papers, take one.
When you lick them, it gets such a sweet, interesting taste - I became addicted to them and never returned to normal cigarettes.

In the movie Minamata, which you brought to Karloyy Vary, you are almost unrecognizable, you play the famous American photojournalist Eugene W. Smith, whose career is done at that point, but gets his last chance from Life Magazine, of which he was the star of. You play it reserved, inconspicuous, disciplined.
It is always an exceptional task to be able to play someone real, a special someone, as important as Eugene W. Smith. He was a fundamental figure in the world of photography, he changed a lot of things through his work and sacrificed a lot for it. I had to play him correctly. He fascinated me: he always made friends, but it seemed like he never really had any. There was something about him, he was a poetically lonely man - as he simply lived only in his head, only with his artistic vision, with his photos. He also wanted everyone to give him peace. His thoughts sometimes drove him crazy, which can happen to all of us sometimes.

What about you?
Definitely happens to me too, often. But I'm not such an annoying old man as he was, I would say. I still have a chance. Mary Ellen Markoy, an excellent photographer and a great personality ! liked, started at the Magnum Agency, she knew Eugene W. Smith personally. I once asked her what the "W" meant in his name. and she said to me? 'I also asked him once. and you know what he told me? 'It stands for wonderful".

You can agree with that, right?
Yeah, yeah, his wisdom, his jokes, without any respect and a little subversive, which amused me, I like that. I liked him in general and that's why it was good to play him.

Minamata is about an ecological catastrophe in the 70's in Japan. It is caused by local corporations, due to which people got sick and died. Today, ecology is a big topic, it wasn't like that always. Do you support the protection of the environment do you deal with them?
I am not an expert, but it is no coincidence in my opinion that we are now seeing dangerous changes in many parts of the globe, often causing death. By that I mean hurricanes and so on. I only know so much: if anyone wants to try to save the planet, they have to do it now. But I don't know if it can still be restored to its original state. We humans are like a disease on Earth, we are constantly building something, we take up place that isn't ours. We need to unite instead. It often happens that a hundred people start doing some good things, but then one decides to take something out of it for himself, it all goes wrong and it's over. Do we know where exactly to send money to other countries if we want to help an abandoned child?

Where do you send it?
I don't have any money. If I did, I would send it myself. (joking)
