A wonderful movie that I hope will not leave anyone indifferent! It’s been 20 years since I saw the movie “Your Will, Lord.” It's an anniversary. And I have a huge gratitude to all those people who worked on this film in the difficult 90s.
At whatever time and in whatever society you live, you or someone will always be visited by questions: what is happiness? what is love? what is the meaning of life in general and mine in particular. Here and our main character, Moscow journalist Pavel, these questions do not pass by. He asks them to strangers who pass by on the street, and naturally, everyone answers differently. I remember one of his questions. Paul gave it to a doctor. The question is, “What are you afraid of?” He replied, “Fear of losing a generation.” Paul himself loves his profession, although he has thoughts, and does he do what he does in life, sticks a microphone under his nose? At the same time, he is also a racing driver and quite good. But this is such a lyrical retreat, touches to the portrait of the main character, who, among other things, is a womanizer and a lover of women.
He is over forty, and there is no family, there is only a mother with whom he has a good and ironic relationship. But, as they say, how much rope not to curl, and the tip to be. It was time to take charge and get married when he met a pretty woman who works as a surgeon in a hospital. And how to part with the freedom that brought good luck and accompanied all his life? They have a difficult relationship, because Paul works natural self-defense of the body and he can afford a scruffy joke that a good person can not just offend, but hurt, even though he is a good person surgeon.
The role of Pavel’s mother is played by the incomparable Olga Aroseva, who so organically fit into the plot and format of the film that you can not imagine who else could perform this role also brilliantly and at the highest level.
The whole film is replete with a beautiful and subtle sense of humor and irony, for which a special thank you to the director Vladimir Plotnikov and a low bow to the screenwriter and actor Artem Karapetyan, who recently left us (he has the kingdom of heaven!).
Among other things, the director masterfully shows that in one person there can be only good or only bad, which is worth the scene at the airport when two people are fighting in Pavel. And the decent takes over the selfish. And in ourselves the decent always prevails over the selfish?
And your will, O Lord!
