Last comic con Russia had three hitovy stars: Christopher Lloyd, Rutger Hauer and Alexander Petrov. If the Western actors were experienced fighters in participating in such conmen, then for Petrov, the speech on Comic Con became a premiere - and the more nicer that the actor coped with his bang. None of our actors presented Russian projects with such a return, as Alexander - Yuri Kolokolnikov Frankly lazy, the rest were shy, did not know what to say and somehow missed the stage, having passed these sensations and public. But Petrov brilliantly "sold" his projects - Sikvel "Gogol" and new series "Apartments", both directed by the director Egor Baranov.

The new "Gogol" press was presented in the first business day, and about it, but repeat: film "Gogol. Viy " will be released on April 5, and August 30 awaits us "Gogol. Terrible revenge. In "VIA", we are waiting for an exorcist Khoma Brut, which Yegor Baranov called "van Helsing in the lapties" - he hunts the witches, and Nikolai Vasilyevich will help him.

The TV-3 channel was thoroughly prepared for the comic-horse: a special Gogol booth was made, where it was possible to take a picture with Nikolai Vasilyevich and meet with Pannachka. Together with the publishing house Bubble, the channel released comics "Gogol"Petrov and Baranov gave the audience with their autographs. Well, and Alexander himself, burned to the public and willingly responding to all questions, even tricky. So, the actors were asked twice, whether he watched a Badcomedian review on "Attraction"where the blogger criticized including his game. Petrov, without any negative emotion, said that he watched a review with a cold nose, Badcomedian for him - a man who is engaged in his beloved thing, and to oppose his opinion, he can hundreds of enthusiastic reviews from the audience, with whom she personally looked at the picture. "When hundreds of thousands of people like your work - that's what is important to me, because I do everything for the audience," Alexander explained and added that he was looking at the movie as a simple viewer and everyone advises to have his own point of view.

Here is an answer video error:

Read Petrov reviews and about "Gogol" - his beloved he is assumed that the rider is a hero Sergey Burunova: "It seems to me that it would be a shocking event.". He got the role of Gogol simply and quickly: on the set "Fans" (the director was the same Egor Baranov) The producer approached him Alexander Tsecalo and said: "You need to answer quickly and without thinking - do you want to play Gogol?" Petrov immediately replied "yes" - and voila. "I immediately realized that it would be a steep project, because I saw the eyes of Sasha tsekalo, when he told about him - they burned him! It was seen that he had a soul invested in this project ".

The audience asked how Alexander was preparing for role. "This is an internal process, it is always different. But it is important for me to rewrite the text of each scene in a notebook - when I do it, I immediately understand what I have questions for the director ".

Did not go around and mysticism - Does the actor believed in it, was there something odd on the set? "I believe in mysticism and she pursues me from the project to the project, - admitted Petrov. - For example, every time I put on a good wig, which, if you know, consists of real hair. I helped me our wonderful artist for Mercier Tamara Frid, who worked with the greatest directors, including Alexey Balabanov over the films "Brother" and "Brother 2". And each time, when the branded Kare Gogol was with its help I have on my head, my heart began to beat more often, and I myself experienced a strange excitement that did not pass until I shot a wig. What information did this hair stored, I do not know, but it was worth it to remove the wig - and I immediately calmed down ".

In addition to Kare, Gogol still has a mustache - and here they had the most real in Petrov. "Making mustache managed by chance. When we shot the first scene, I came unshaven - I did not have parallel projects, and I could afford it. Then I prepared an overhead mustache, and I suggested: Maybe mine will come in handy? So we used my mustache, and this is a big luck that it happened, because on the big screen it is clearly seen that they are real! "

But what happened later when Petrov had to walk with a mustache in life:

Everyone wanted to know what kind of Petrov's relationship was Oleg Menshikov - Actors played together and in the "attraction", and in Gogol. "Oleg Evgenievich has long taken me to her theater. Yermolova, it was his initiatives, and I am very grateful for it. We do not have such friendship so that we go to each other and gathered in the evening to push the beer - but there were very warm relations of colleagues. I do not want to go to another theater, although I had such suggestions: in Yermolova - the place where I want to create something to create something.

After communicating with the audience Petrov distributed autographs and photographed with all those who wanted:

We managed to embry on the hard schedule of the actor and talk to him about Gogol superhero and favorite superheroes in general - you will be delighted with his answers:

The next day, Petrov and Baranov presented their new series "Apartments" - It is about the Virtual game without the Rules of the "Apartment", which turns around for players in bloody consequences in reality. So far, it is unclear exactly where the series will be shown - on the first channel or immediately on Netflix, which the company "Wednesday" is responsible for the series, has already sold "Farce". Together with Petrov in "Sipart" played Artem Tkachenko, Valeria Shkyrando, Olga Soullova And many other actors.

We showed a teaser from which it was clear that the game would absorb people and cause them a lot of problems, and that the virtual reality itself is depicted in the series very schematically. Baranov admitted that he did it intentionally - he wanted the Avatars of the Heroes and the whole computer world differ from the real, so he made the game a little more primitive in schedule than modern computer games. "Egor was the initiator: everything invented, showed us how to exist in virtual space and a little strange to move", - Laugh Petrov, depicting the gait of the iron drill. Alexander was very enthusiastic about the fact that when the series was shot, no one has released virtual glasses into massive sale - and today it is quite the usual thing. The actor is confident that over time, these gadgets will decrease and become the most familiar as possible.

Interview

Sasha Petrov: "In the relationship it is impossible to strive to be better partner"

A popular Russian actor - about why it is so much, why he writes poems and how she worked out the scene with a piece of glass stuck in the palm.

Perhaps it is difficult to find a more sought-after Russian artist now than Alexander Petrov. Every year he has five to six large prime ministers: "", "Gogol", "Policeman from Rublevka", "Farca". And another Hamlet in the Ermolova Theater from Oleg Menshikov. And your own show # is anewed. And this is despite the debut of the actor in the movie took place relatively recently, in 2010! Why did everyone strangle on Petrov and why take it to every steep project? These questions "TV program" asked Sasha. That is how the artist asks himself to call (and point out in the text) from the very beginning of the conversation, thereby having to open, honest and slightly hooligan tone of the conversation.

"The day before yesterday herself: why do you need it all?"

- Your debut in the movie took place just seven years ago. Now every year you have a pack of full-length films and a bunch of serials. You yourself asked yourself this question: why Petrov is everywhere?

- I was not thinking about it. I think in the profession, as in life, there is a system. If you live unsystemantly and not understand where you go, it is unlikely that what happens. The first rule is to put a plan for a five-year plan, dream of it and go. Five years ago I understood that I need major roles in full-length films. How to go to it? God knows him. But step by step is approaching. First, small roles, then in the series. Then there is a development. Many it annoys: why so many films for the year? Why do you take it all? Five to six full-length films and several TV series in one season. "You will go to the circulation!" And I don't think so. Why in guitis for it praise? When the artist 7 excerpts from 8 in the show - and all different. That's cool! But in life it suddenly turns out to be bad. If it makes it qualitatively, it will not get bored by the viewer.

In the show "Dancing with the Stars" the actor did not hold back emotions. Photo: Channel "Russia 1"

- Somehow everything just sounds. Thousands of other hardworking and talented actors, as a character of Timothy Tribuntsev from the short films "Curse", the protrusion leader or Cat Basilio in the children's theater play all his life ...

- Of course, there are certain nuances and introductory circumstances. Work agent, for example. When an actor young, green and no one needed, the agent begins to sell it: call all castings and offer watch video, photo. It's hard work. I remember, I walked to the master class of the American actor of the second plan, who played in "". And he devoted the topic of the work of the agent most of the lecture. Already an adult, the actor held for many years to call the agent daily and talks to his clock. Discusses everything: from the weather to work plans and promotion. It must be done. This is also part of the profession.

- This is all good. But there is probably the secret moves: "to make" director, dinner with the producer ...

- (laughs.) It all does not work, alas. No, there are certain tricks. Here I had a period when there were no roles and suggestions at all. No. For a short time, after the release from Gityis, but such a period was. Although there was a lot of samples. And my agent Katya Kornilova, when they called and called to the next samples, said: "Sorry, we now have five sentences at the same time, we think." She did it skillfully and gently. And at a certain point it became a reality - five projects at the same time. But not because we created some kind of visibility around me. And because I came and worked out samples by 400%. In any case, any actor should have an overlap and the highest goal. If you think about money, nothing will come out. Literally the day before yesterday I asked myself: "Why do I need it all? There are roles, there are suggestions. Why do you want somewhere else? After all, so comfortable. " And I want to experiment and grow. Therefore, it just does not have time for star.

- Experiments in Russia abound. But now on the table in front of you - a pack of cigarettes and English benefits. And recently, in the official instagram, Luke Nonon appeared a video from filming, where in the frame a man, similar to you. It's related?

- I can't comment on your question.

- One Alexander Petrov, a multiplier, already "Oscar". Does the Russian viewer have a chance to see you in Western projects?

- There is. I will not say anything else. (Smiles.)

"I do not consider my poems with literature"

- Premiere of monospectacle, or shows, as they say now, # Again, passed a year ago. Since then has he changed?

- I think yes. Any performance adds. Therefore, relatives and loved ones are not called premiere. Over time, artists become calmer. Here is a story in another. The performance # is always different, for 70% of the text is improvisation. She can make me anywhere. What will be this time in Crocus City Hall (the show will be held on January 30 in Moscow, 5 days after the birthday of the artist, and February 2 - in St. Petersburg. - Ed.) - Even now I do not know. Every time I ask colleagues to improvise.

In the military drama "T-34" Sachet got another major role - Lieutenant Ivushkin. Frame from the film

- In addition to the performance, the book comes out. What is this experience? And why do you need it?

- I was driving in Sapsan from Peter to Moscow after showing # to anewly. And in the car-restaurant met a man. He thanked behind the films and asked: "Sasha, why don't you let the book? Collection of poems". I replied: "NOT DOROS. I'm 28 years old. What is the book? Wound. " And he says: "Nothing is wounded. How many poems do you have? On the book will be checked? Here you go. And what are you waiting for? We must produce and close Gestalt. " I thought. And yet I do not consider it a book in the usual understanding, literary work. This is a bonus, addition to the play. For those who looked and who liked. To poems, too, as a hobby. Professional activity I have another: to film and work in the theater. The hero of the play # to anewly writes poems, because it chooses it as the only way to communicate with a woman. Therefore, no one will regard my poems as a literary heritage - neither I nor he. There are poems in the book, there are separate thoughts, personal photos, unpublished interviews. I wanted to make the material a little deeper.

- Are there any poems dedicated to the beloved?

- Sure. There is no separate chapter or block of poems about Ira, but there are chaotic scattered poems, it is not clear how to mind. Usually I write the lines to the phone. Then the poems are already.

- Where is it written better?

- I love to fly. Especially sitting one. Without insane adults or children. Nobody distracts. Insert music into your ears. I look into the clouds. No links, SMS do not come. Very calm and convenient. And the other way around - you sit in a noisy company, you order food and in parallel you throw the lines.

"Very often you play love and even sex with the most beautiful girls of Russian cinema: with" Method ", with ... The girl is calmly looking at it?"

- I don't want to talk about personal life, honestly. The only thing I can say, and Irina - adults, professional people. There are no problems with this.

- Another beautiful acting couple - Alexander Abdulov and Irina Alferova - it was: if something was not laid at home, he "Mustil" her on the stage "Lenkom". At least by evidence of Alferova and it was.

- With Ira, it is comfortable to work together (in addition to the "attraction", both were filmed in the film "T-34". - Ed.). She is a big actress that relates to the profession. Each of us has its own way. Therefore, we do not like to talk about us in an interview. There is something to tell, besides this.

- No competition between you?

- We, of course, discuss roles, but do not compete. In a pair, no one should want to be better than the second half. We just need to want to be better. Next to your loved one. Artist, welder - does not matter. When a number of people you love, there is a stimulus to go further and develop.

- How, by the way, have holidays spent?

- were in Georgia. Madly liked the country and people are talented, hospitable, stylish. Tbilisi is an absolutely European city with beautiful and soulful restaurants, a cafe. And mountains. When you come to Kazbek, incredible views are open. You sit, stick up - and you can do it infinitely. Brain at that moment reboots completely. I lacked it. At the end of 2017, I was twisted - the year was rich and heavy. I understood what I need cleansing. Great impression was made by Georgians as a nation. At a certain moment, Ira, I caught myself thinking that only two phrases say: "very tasty" and "very beautiful." And nothing more.

"I was told that I would become a janitor"

- At the Institute of Software Systems RAS, you studied at the Economic Faculty. Did these knowledge helped in practice? Maybe there were thoughts to open a business?

- helped. In parallel with economic education, I was engaged in the theater studio and discovered a new world. Training at the institute did not give anything. True, I remembered the only lesson for life. We were tasked: connect points on the board with one continuous line. We thought for a long time, and no one could solve the puzzle. But when the teacher showed how it was done, all ofigels. Because to solve it was necessary to go beyond the board. That is, beyond the limits of rational thinking. It sneaks me. I realized that it is often necessary to go beyond to achieve the goal. This is happening in the cinema, and in the performances in which I work.

The history of the mockery of the arrogant policeman from the rubler Grisha Izmailov over the head of Vladimir Yakovlev (Sergey Burunov - right) became the arrival in the towns. Frame from the film

- It is known that you love football. Is he present in your life now? Or injuries interfere?

- Almost no present. Lack of time. I really want, but no time. Injuries were mainly on the set, but already healed. I can play.

- Which one was the most painful or ridiculous?

- Many things were ... I used to do all the tricks on the court. All instincts - self-preservation, fear and others are disconnected on the set. It seems that you can absolutely all! Once on the set of the series "Belovodye. The mystery of the lost country "(the continuation of the project" so far fern flowers ". - Ed.) That took place in Altai, it was necessary to fall to the ground and see at a certain point. At this time, the polyvalki worked - such things imitating rain. Naturally, very cold. I had to fall several times in a row, filled with my hands about the Earth, the operator was shooting it. I work out. Then I get up and feel that with hand something is wrong. Cascaders are suitable for me and ask: "San, everything is fine? We looked at your face - as if it was very painful. " "No, - I answer. - Everything is fine. All right". Then I raise my hand (looks at the right palm), this one. She is filled with blood. And the same mountains, Altai, "ambulance" will not come immediately. It was not clear that in the hand of a shard glass. And while I fell into the dirt, scored him even deeper. I was washed with a wound, kept my hand with the cellophan. And after that another episode had to work. And the next morning to fly to Moscow to rehearse "Hamlet" (the actor plays the main role in this performance of the Ermolova Theater. - Ed.). And here I am filmed on the belt, so that the hand is not in the frame. Then "ambulance" comes, doctors ask: "Where is the sick?" They are responsible: "Now, in the scene only will be available." As a result, they took to the hospital, got a fragment, sewed. The hand was wildly sick, did not sleep for a second, flew to Moscow, went to the rehearsal in the morning, I was constantly led, there were wild pains, worked and then just went home.

- Hardwood you ...

- Yes, Belovodye has hardered powerfully! In another episode, for example, I went under the waterfall. Some scene of purification. The air temperature is 14 degrees, everyone stands in the jackets, and I get up in a loined bandage under the ice water, which is powerfully crushed on the back. Water - 4 degrees. Nearby is a doctor, constantly measuring pressure, pulse.

On the set of "attraction" broke the door with the foot and severely cut a tendon badly with a broken glass. Under local anesthesia, which did not work, I was stitched by the nerves. Anesthesias of the colole and the prick, and I screamed and screamed. I understand that the doctors checked if the nerve works. Then there was a long restoration, starred on crutches. In the scene, when the main heroine of the film falls, grabs behind the bed, the stone falls into her head and it is cut down, my hero holds it. So, at that moment I was on crutches and in plaster.

- Psychological injuries, children's complexes or resentment - wounded, but not overcome - remained?

- I think no. Fears, insults and complexes are all, of course. But I overcome it by working.

- Maybe erroneous solutions?

- And they do not happen. If the decision was not under pressure, it is not an error. Even if not a very successful result. Apparently, it was necessary. And it happened not by chance. It would seem why I learned two years on economic? I and my friend said that we will become janitor. We laughed. And I heard it often: "You're a divorce, you do not want to learn, you will be revenge on the yards." No one tried to ask what was interesting to me. Only Veronica Alekseevna's teacher from theatrical studio in Pereslavl-Zalessky, in which I went in parallel with the institute, asked this question. And then I thought. And life changed.

- Do parents in their hometown often have?

- Yes, it happens. I got into the car - and after an hour and a half already there. I try to get out.

- Parents are pleased with the way you earn?

- Sure. They are happy. The son found something to do all his life. I have no doubt that I can change your mind and start writing pictures.

- And scenarios? You have your own developments. Maybe make a movie on them?

- There are such thoughts. And even a full-fledged decorated idea - make a film as director. With your vision and refinement of the script. I would be interested to know what the border. I want to do it in hooligan. As always.

Photo: Personal archive

- So you are ready to manage people?

- If you remember childhood, I was always asked to collect people to football. In the provincial city, this is a difficult task. At one - cottage, the second is potatoes, the third is beer, the fourth is TV. And each of 10 - 12 people should be stupid to change it on the game. Life in the province is more viscous and damaging. People are heavier to rise. This is not rapid Moscow. There are going on football - this is a lot of persuasion and motivation with arguments. And I liked it! Organize people united by ideas.

Everything goes from childhood. Even the most seemingly useless skills acquired in childhood are returned and help in adulthood. Interesting things ... Probably, in connection with this, you can talk about such a thing as fate.

Private bussiness

Alexander Petrov was born on January 25, 1989 in Pereslavl-Zalessky. Engaged in football. After graduation, he studied at the Economic Faculty of IPS RAS. Engaged in the studio-studio "AnTreptriz". In 2012 graduated from Gitis (L. Haifez's workshop). In 2010, he made his debut in the TV series. He worked at the Et Cetera Theater, from January 2013, is the actor of the Moscow Dramatic Theater named after M. N. Yermolova. Played the main roles in the paintings "Hugging the sky", "Eclipse", "", "Attraction", "Ice", "T-34". He starred in the series "Farca", "Method", "Policeman from Rublevka", "", as well as in the show "Dancing with the Stars". Invented and put a dramatic show # to anewly. Not married. It is found with the actress Irina Starshenbaum.

We have a stereotype that the classic should be like in the films of Bortko (to which I treat with great respect), but there is still today, which we have to adapt. And you need to answer inquiries not only the audience 45+, but also the younger generation, which now has a lot of solves in our country. I believe that 18-year-olds are space people, because, communicating with them, I understand that there is no fact that the abyss - we seem to be from different countries or from different planets. The main thing: they want to think, develop and constantly learn. They have a passion for new knowledge. These people want to watch the films that will affect them truly.

If I saw our film "Gogol. The beginning, "without removing in it, I would have struck me very much. For me, this is a new word in cinema, a film that changes all the direction. So it was with the film "surviving", which at some point strongly changed my consciousness. I realized then that the cinema can also be filmed and so, and I was internally very close to what Intrica did. Such things create evolution in the cinema, as Tarantino once made it, completely changed the view of people to the cinema. Young is the engine of society, and the audience is beginning to be tightened to these young. And if we communicate on an equal footing, we can come up together something breakthrough. Therefore, I myself began to listen very carefully to the younger generation. And our film "Gogol" in this sense - a very cool project, relevant. He happened exactly as he should have happened. Such a relationship now seems radical from the point of view of classical cinema, but from the point of view of youth - this is a new look at the usual things.

I think Gogol will give such a start to the production of films and TV series in Russian classics. Our classic literature is just a storehouse with completely crazy worlds that can be interpreted in different ways, including with reference to today. I am sure that you need to use our time, throwing Pushkin's characters in the 21st century, and make it boldly, seriously and thoughtfully.

You just imagine a brilliant monologue of Yevgeny Mironov from Idiot in IMAX - he utters it in an awesome stylized suit suit and in the atmosphere of that era with some crazy color correction, and the close-up runs in the "surviving" stylistry! The essence does not change, understand? We will simply use a little more hooligan methods of attracting attention, new technologies and we will talk with the viewer using installation, music, costumes, scenery, special effects. Young people need new ways of immersing in reality, and for the development of the cinema is very important to conversation with the viewer in his language. And it seems to me that this modern language is absolutely not contrary to the values \u200b\u200bof our classical literature.

I'm talking about it - and my head goes around. Think just what can be made from the "crime and punishment" in the cinema? And when schoolchildren see it, they will be owned: who is such a splitter? What did Dostoevsky mean? It will hit hard on the minds of young guys who will understand that they have an invaluable book in their hands. It would be very interesting for me to learn how the appearance of the film "Gogol" influenced the attitude of high school students to the works of the writer, did any of them go to the bookstore after exiting the cinema.

Personally, after the filming, I really want to re-read the whole Gogol and plunge into these worlds through his books.

Alexander Petrov

19.05.2017 Dmitry Ostashevsky

On May 22, there is a continuation of the series "Policeman from Rublevka" on the TNT channel. Artist Alexander Petrov in an exclusive interview told Thr about the secret of the success of the project, the present and the future of Russian TV shows and personal filmstudies.

We ask a terrible question immediately, after which some actors get up and leave: "Describe your hero?"

(Locked. It gets up and leaves ... Returns)

My character, Grisha Izmailov - a policeman outside the stereotypes. He has an excellent sense of humor, and this humor is sometimes very tough, especially in relation to his boss, which played Seryozha Burunov. Grisha has non-standard methods of combating evil. And most importantly, this is a smart man, with serious views on life. With a tragic personal history: His parents were killed, he doesn't have a soul in his sister, which helps. At the same time, he is a rich guy: Lives on Rublevka, lists money for charity. That is, he is so - his own. Your own for everyone.

Therefore, your hero is sympathetic to the viewer, that everyone will find something in it for themselves?

Yes, it seems to me that such a non-standard combination of qualities is a very new story for televisionilms in Russia. Not just oligarch from a ruble or a police officer or an intellectual, but also the other, and the third. I really like this hero, I do not want to part with him. Now comes season 2, I am sure that there will be a third. And this story will become truly folk.

Alexander Petrov and Sergey Burunov in the series

Now it's still accepted by the habit of Russian cinema first scold, then watch, but with the TV shows this stereotype already in the past. The Russian series has ceased to be determined by something bad. What do you see the cause?

In my opinion, the reason one - the smart people appeared who understand how it was done in the West. And who risked to invest a lot of money in serial production. At first in Russia, the series was considered something cheap, below the cinema, Halturoy. But even with this situation, good works happened. Remember "Brigada" or "Liquidation". Now good TV shows more and more. The viewer is comfortable. It's nice to pour the series - to live with a character for a long time. Wait for new series, new seasons. Russian producers understood and taught the viewer to the fact that Russia produces high-quality serials. Moreover, it does not simply licks ready-made techniques from Western samples, and ready to go beyond the patterns of templates, as it happens in the "Policeman from Rublevka".

Trying to go beyond the template - Do you personally close it?

Yes, thanks to my teacher of Russian language and literature Shashkova Olga Nikolaevna "It was she who instilled me love for the theater, taste, taught to think unusual." Every lesson she began with a small lyrical retreat. Now I understand that these were not just stories from newspapers, but stories from her life, sometimes associated with theme lesson. The disciples sat down at each other, but a semicircle ... All this subconsciously taught me that you should always try to go beyond, and do and live otherwise, not according to standards, experiment.

I heard that when entering the studio Leonid Efimovich Haifez in Gitis, you received some very non-standard task from the master ...

Yes, and Leonid Efimovich, just recently met on the transfer "Middle Circle" And remembered the task that he gave me then. Now he said that, probably, it was too dangerous task and it was impossible to load so much. In general, he suggested that I submit a situation when you come to the cemetery to your native person and see that the grave is disfigured ... After that, the task took me to the students.

You are often compared with the Smoktunovsky and the manner of execution, and on the list of played roles: you had a hijacker, and hammlet. And you yourself like a viewer can you call your favorite actor?

Leonardo Dicaprio. I think Sfetunovsky, he would have caused a lot of pleasant emotions. What the Dicaprio does in the last films is very cool. This is a stunning level of preparation for the role, internal content that makes you develop and grow. He is an example for imitation.

And who is your favorite director?

Martin Scorsese.

By the way, he collaborates a lot with Dicaprio ...

Yes, they say, have already conceived a new film, already the sixth ...

Well, well, and how at all to choose the choice of roles? Or rely on agent?

Of course, I advise with my agent Katya Kornilova. We work with her 8 years from the second course of guitis. And when we 4-5 years ago discussed the strategy of the five-year plan, what we want, what we go, now I see that the results are achieved by conceived. In general, the choice of role is a very intuitive thing. Just with our Katya, this feeling is somehow surprisingly coincided.

You studied at the director's faculty and more than once in the interview said that in the distant plans you have a director. And in what genre would you like to shoot?

I really like ordinary human stories, giving a certain image in which something would be encrypted some subtext, meaning. Here, for example, the film "Black Swan" Darren Aroneal - Very simple story, but told by a bold cinema. Or film Tom Ford. "Under the cover of the night" - Before the disgrace, the simplest plot, but as she is filed as she is told, as removed! And you can retell it with one sentence. That is, I would not want Arthaus for the sake of Arthaus. Let there be a visual cinema, but with a simple human history at the heart. This is me and as an actor in scripts clings. But now it is still very early to talk about directed. This is such a bold step that can not be combined with anything, for a year there will be anything else to postpone. Maybe in the forty years decided, it may later. Trying to stop on two chairs I will not.

Which of your theatrical works can now look?

"Hamlet" in the Theater Ermolova, "Cherry Garden" in the Pushkin Theater. And the dramatic show "# Agnchmen" together with the Ocean Jet group - the performance of an unusual form, which in April was on tour in Voronezh, Yekaterinburg and St. Petersburg. In Moscow, there was a premiere in the club Yotaspace. There will be more performances, so follow the announcements.

Topics:

The hero of the new, fifth, release of the 3rd seasons of the author's show became the Russian actor. He is known for such domestic film projects as "", Augustus of the eighth, "". The video interview was published on Youtube- channel "Thorough".
