About the movie: The secretary of the district committee Ivan Baikalov is approached with any question: grain harvesting machines, alimony, crankshafts ... - the party leader of the Altai village should know and be able to do everything. So the wife of a young doctor came to seek protection from Baikalov - her husband cheats! And from Lebyazhye report that in three days it will rain, and the only one who will be able to set up work and not rot the bread - Peter Ivlev. But on the table at the secretary - an anonymous: the district doctor bred schews just with the wife of Peter. Which is more important - the harvesting of grain or the family of a young party man? The diploma work of Vasily Shukshin did not cause special delights at the time against the background of more daring aesthetic experiments of his classmates. But already in the first directorial work, as soon as the issues of discounting give way to the genuine drama of human relations, the features of Yegor Prokudin can be clearly recognized in Shukshin’s hero, and this modest black and white short turns into a kind of prequel to Kalina Red.
One of Kuravlev's first roles. In the movie, Leonid Kuravlev made his debut while still a student. In 1960, he played the sailor Kamushkin in the historical and revolutionary film by Mikhail Schweitzer “Middleman Panin”. In parallel, Kuravlev starred in the thesis of Vasily Shukshin “From Lebyazhye reported”. close

Based on an excerpt from the novel by L.N.Tolstoy "War and Peace."
The war of 1812. The defeated Napoleonic army is retreating. Three Russian soldiers settled in a snowy forest near a fire: a young (Zaletayev), an elderly and a middle-aged one. Zaletayev fantasizes — as if he had captured Napoleon. The soldiers laugh good-naturedly at him. After dinner, they fall asleep...
Two Frenchmen go to the clearing — an officer and a soldier. Russian soldiers wake up and, seeing that the officer is barely standing on his feet from cold and hunger, take him to the colonel. The French soldier sits down to the fire. The Russians give him porridge and vodka. The soldier, encouraged, sings a french song. Zaletayev echoes him. A tired Frenchman falls asleep on Zaletayev’s shoulder. The soldiers carefully shelter him. “Also people,” an elderly soldier says with a sigh. close

Basically, 'Herakles' is an omnium-gatherum of film clips depicting images of machismo. Some of those images are explicitly macho: we see various body-builders flexing their biceps and triceps. Other images seen here are not macho in the literal sense, but are indirectly related to testosterone or cojones on some level: we see military aircraft making bombing raids, and footage of car crashes. close
