Swan song in TV show To be honest, the film was initially watched with a slight touch of alienation and a lot of irony.
Clear, repulsive, the main character, clear and quite predictable plot - its beginning and end. I understand the atmosphere. . .
I really like ballet. Not since I was a kid, but I’ve been watching it since then. No, to understand, to feel, to empathize really I began only when I became a very adult.
I was shocked by Bezrukov’s performance. Not just as a superb dramatic actor – a very strong, very talented person, at its core. I was shocked by his performance as a dancer - these hands, these lines, this passion and ecstasy that cannot be played, you can only feel, live it.
Bezrukov opened up to me from a completely new side. There is so much of him everywhere, in his roles, in his presence, in his tumultuous personal life, which he carefully hides, but which always breaks out, one way or another. . .
And suddenly, this movie. And that role. . .
I would say that, by character, he is more likely to play Tsiskaridze - with his disregard for others, a sense of his own lifelong genius, with his acutely subtle sense of perception of beauty, with his ruthless and unconditional demand for everyone and, above all, for himself. . .
Tsiskaridze is in sight. We don’t know many others.
Perhaps it is spilled in the world of ballet, to which I do not belong in any way.
And yet... This swan song of the main character shocked me, despite everything I said in the beginning. And the fact that this song was the last on the stage of the evening show on TV is absolutely correct, it is very symbolic, it is the essence of the whole film. . .
Thank you to all the filmmakers and actors.
Sergey Bezrukov - bravo! .
