In the role of Gregory Pechorin Oleg Dahl. Oleg Dal, who dreamed of playing Pechorin since his youth. Oleg Dahl, who gave refusals to many roles, images, however significant later their power, influence on the culture of Russia (for example, Zhenya Lukashin or the role of the pilot in ' Crew' A. Mitta). So, Oleg Dahl saw himself in the role of Gregory Pechorin. Providence wanted the actor to play this image.
From the first moments, Oleg Dahl in the image of Pechorin fascinates, attracts with his sad eyes, delicate facial features, fragile figure, sadness, deep philosophical arguments about life with a deep and subtle understanding of life, if it is impossible, perhaps unwillingness to do something. It's a really strong hit in the image.
Andrey Mironov as Grushnitsky. Fun, charming, loving life, at the same time sad, tragic. The complexity of the inner world of Andrei Mironov as an actor gave a hit in this image. On the one hand, Andrei Mironov was a charming and cheerful person, he liked women. On the other hand, there was something tragic, sad, melancholic about it. With an equally profound understanding of life, of the soul. All this also gave a high hit in the image.
Leonid Broneva as Dr. Werner, a materialist and skeptic, sitting thoughtfully above the pages of the book, began to reflect on life with Pechorin. It was Lermontov's reflections. Let this be a small moment, but Leonid Bronevoy conveyed solidity in this image. It was already Leonid Broneva after his significant role in 'Seventeen Moments of Spring'.
And Irina Pechernikova conveyed the inner essence of the image of Princess Mary.
The performance conveyed the atmosphere of the Lermontovsky world, the Lermontovsky text. A world in which everything is decided by the moment, a world over which sadness hangs like clouds, a world in which the philosophical comprehension of the meaning of life and the deep psychologicalism of images.
