Watched by a large group of friends and colleagues on two works, including a public one Monday at the cinema. Everyone's excited. :
Very expensive (this can be seen in the storyboard) canvas. Historical large-scale drama with a capital letter of Konstantin Buslov. Production with the support of the Cinema Foundation (about three years), The film was supported by such giants as Sber, MAER and Channel One.
In the chronicle Kozelsk is accentuated and mentioned in 1146, a year before Moscow. The film takes place in 1238, when the Golden Horde swept away everything in its path, including Ryazan and Vladimir.Young Prince Vasily (defender), he was only 12 years old decided to stand until the last. A two-month siege. Screenwriter Vadim Golovanov (“Scyth”), of course, processed the characters at his discretion, but did it qualitatively. The most difficult hero went to Alexei Guskov. His name is Ratsha because of his service as a warrior in the prince's army, and for the ability to fight with two swords in the Khan's camp he had the nickname Urus-two-hands.
"Evil City" - the cinema turned out to be complex, intricate, bizarre in content. Impressive props for 300 people (who participated) and original costumes. The city itself was built from scratch in a clean field. A settlement of 40 buildings. Very cool work. Thank you very much. They also built a wooden bridge across the river Gizdra and the Mongolian camp of Batuya with yurts and all kinds of utensils. Filming was conducted at a temperature of minus 28 degrees. Many complained about the conditions.
The production designer was Sergey Fevralev, who worked with Andrey Proshkin on the film “The Horde”.He is an ace of his business. Beautifully shown nature and battle scenes. Hard. Dramatic. Bright.
Now more than ever, this high-tech film speaks of Russian character, popular power, heroism.
I highly recommend it to teenagers. To raise the Spirit and moral mental work.
Wonderful. :)😎
