Puppeter from the past ': A secret is a hidden lie that is so hard to deny. And you won't find her in your soul, and you won't be able to guess about her. In every heart, I know, there is a secret. Everyone hides something important: who is love, who is pain, who is evil revenge, someone dreams of impossible things. . . ' ('Mystery', Irina Samarina)
The production of detective and melodrama series we put ' on stream '. There is no secret in this, and the viewer understands it perfectly. Trouble ' stream production' in forced uniformity and similarity: the same actors, the same plots. It is difficult for an actor or actress to come up with something new, playing such a character for the tenth time in a row. For this reason, I have no particular complaints about the cast. And almost no claims to the plot. If you decompose it ' on the shelves ' then all this has already happened repeatedly on the screen, but this is not a minus, because from the same fragments you can put completely different pictures. In this case, screenwriters Aram Yavrumyan and Natalia Zherdetskaya managed ' twist ' interesting, sometimes even exciting plot. If the detective genre implies slowness and systematic investigation, the thriller requires a special sacrifice in the form of constant anxious waiting. At the same time, it is highly desirable that the thrill and excitement of the viewer increase from one series to another.
All this is fully present in the work of Arthur Romanian. To attract as the cornerstone of the unfinished novel ' Blind Look' the famous Danish writer-recluse Hans Lundström is a very good move, because writers, in themselves, are extraordinary people, able not only to write beautifully, but also to weave puzzles into the plot. Puzzles are stylistically simple poems from those that we all heard in childhood, completely unaware that they belong to the subculture and are called very loud ' sadistic poems with black humor'. Examples include: ' A little boy found a machine gun. No one lives in the village anymore' or'A little boy found an anti-aircraft gun. "Tu-104" in Moscow did not come & #39; However, for the eminent Danish recluse, such a bravado level is unacceptable, so he precedes each new chapter with a rhyme-rebus. In total, there are four such quatrains - by the number of series. They were written specifically for each of them.
Episode 39: I had a dog, I loved it. You had a dog. Who killed her? The cat is cunning, purring, singing a song. You try, guess what the poor thing is waiting for...' Episode 39: The White Swan was beautiful. A dark darkness came down from the sky. Lightning struck the pond with brilliance - light feathers floating quietly. . ' Episode 39: A month out of the fog, a knife out of his pocket. It will hurt, there will be blood, that is the first love. .. ' Episode four: ': An old skeleton hid in the house. It was the latest secret. The girl learns this secret - no one else lives in the house. . ' These poems are an ideal slogan, because in encrypted form they carry the content of the whole series. This is an extremely successful scenario decision, as well as the nightmares of the main character. Referring to the past flashbacks allow the director to gradually prepare both the heroine and the viewer for the final illumination. At the first viewing, it is easy to miss something important in them - that the director veiled conventions and boiling white, in which a fiery orange vanka-stand-up stands out as a bloody spot.
This is also a successful solution - everyone has long been accustomed to killer clowns, and a harmless toy from childhood teases not only deep emotions, but also memory. The characters in the film are not boring. That's a big picture, too. Some similarity of roles left its negative imprint on Alexander Nikiforov and Konstantin Solovyov, but not so much so that ' to spread ' Lana Barsenyeva and Andrei Sobolev. Beautiful screen couple, who deserve the screen happiness. In a good film, there must be a hero ' the smallness of that' There is one here. Neighbor Arkady Mishkin - well, a very strange character! The clean water of the investigation, and behaves like... However, in a good detective, the one on whom suspicion falls first is beyond suspicion! Perfectly beat his heroine Elena Morozova. Varvara Alekseevna Frolova is a multifaceted character. It's like a matryoshka doll: you remove one layer, under it another, then the third. For four episodes, the heroine undergoes an escalation of the audience’s assessment: from complete rejection and rejection to understanding and respect.
And all thanks to the simple but well-written story of a good investigator and an unhappy woman. The writers did not forget about the friends of our smaller ones, giving several episodes with a luxurious four-legged one-tailed snow-white Fantique. If to all of the above add organic plot twists and turns of music, then the film has a very good impression. And here, as often happens in our films, in the final barrel with first-rate honey, the writers dropped a whole cook of tar. In numerical terms, each series added two points of significance to the film, but the finale is 39; ate off & 39; a good third of the total. The final monologue ' Glavgada' shed light on all the atrocities, but he failed to convince the viewer of the inner logic of his actions. It is a pity that an intriguing story with a decent acting embodiment did not find a worthy culmination. . .
