St. Petersburg fantasy. To the knight Tyrone comes a mysterious blind man - a messenger from a group of wizards concerned about the awakening of an ancient evil in the form of the monster Skene. And only Tyrone can beat him. But the road to the Room of the Shining, where Skin rushes - to gain strength, the road there knows Princess Vesta from the neighboring kingdom of Tyrone. . .
This chamber television performance, despite the modesty of the production, immediately takes the gills. The worlds created by director Valery Obogrelov are thoughtful and independent. The trilogy of his fantasy performances - "Stone of Otrion", "Castle in the Gorge of Gina" and "Entered into the Shining" is simply fascinating, real small diamonds of Russian TV. Exotic flowers by some miracle grown by a man who filmed more than a dozen fairy tales in the late 80s and 90s on the already agonizing Leningrad Television.
Studios, costumes are all over budget. Special effects (Skin's favorite skull with lighting eyes, an incomprehensible creature Elok hiding in the dark, etc.) on the verge of fiction. Which does not detract from the overall twilight, eerie atmosphere. The actors of St. Petersburg are good, they did well. The mascot of the director is Gothic Ivan Latyshev, with long patches, beautiful blonde Vesta - Olga Zueva with a fragile unearthly voice, four hermit magicians (one of whom is young Viktor Sukhorukov), Valery Degtyar shone in the role of the sinister, eccentric Skine.
Of course, "Entered into the Shining" is not entirely free of the plume of Saimak, the film adaptation of his cult novel "Goblin Reserve" Obogrelov undertook in 1993. Multi-worldliness, ancient races, duplication of heroes, the fusion of fairy tales and fiction, these Saimakov motifs organically formed in the script of “Entered into the Shining” and “Castle in the Gin Gorge”. And I also recommend you to find the full version of "Entered" on social networks for 52 minutes.
PS: Obogrelov is the author of the last fairy-tale performance on Leningrad-Petersburg TV - "Kings and Wizards" in 2000 (why is he not listed on the search?), but this is a completely different story.
