In the same breath I'm ashamed to admit, but I don't like "works." Galina Shcherbakova. Then the plagiarism will come out, then the hellish vulgarity. And the language is such that it is fearful for the great and powerful. Limiting to two works of Shcherbakova, she decided for herself: enough is enough. This is the most pleasant surprise! “Women in a game without rules” is a soulful, sweet, life story where the fates of people, cities and generations intertwine.
It is difficult to name the main heroine. Rather, it is love in all its manifestations. The first, green, and the last, autumn, love for the child and parents, for one night and a lifetime. A multifaceted feeling is not played here - is lived by every hero.
Maria, Masha, Marusya is a woman whose beauty is timeless. She was equally good when she met her future husband. And no less beautiful, experiencing last love. Olga Ostroumova managed to create an image of the highest kind of woman, who always looks great externally, and is not deprived of wisdom. As her last man said, “I will run after you and die for her.” How beautiful!
Helena is the daughter of Mary, who inherited both beauty and a good heart. The happiness of personal life, unfortunately, was not transmitted. She did not have a great and beautiful love. Perhaps the story of Elena, whose role was played aristocratically - the beautiful Ekaterina Nikitina, the most tragic, sad.
Alka is a 17-year-old girl, Maria’s granddaughter, Elena’s daughter – an emotional child. She dreams of a great feeling, even painted with her vivid imagination the image of the very one. What is unusual for movies, her dream will come true. That’s just with her adjustments: the girl dreamed about the perfect man, not about the perfect relationship and mutual understanding. Actress with a capital letter after the picture “Lily forever”, and as soon as I see her name in the project – everything, then it will be of high quality. “Women in a game without rules.”
Olga and Masha Predeeva are a separate chapter. In films, it is extremely rare to use the same name for two heroines, so as not to confuse the viewer. Here, only when I began to write these lines, I realized that the luxurious grandmother of Alla and the vulgar collective farmer are namesakes. When you watch a movie, you don’t notice it – different circumstances, different circumstances. So, the elder Predeeva, Olga, performed by my beloved Irina Rozanova, a cheeky woman, will crawl everywhere and will not miss her. Her daughter, Masha, an unfortunate prostitute whose eye lights up at the sight of a hundred dollars, is ridiculous and ridiculous, but holds her head proudly. As much as Daria Moroz saw on the screen, there are always different images. So here, originally, believably played a village fool, dreaming of Paris.
And with half a dozen colorful female characters, in the images of which you can easily recognize acquaintances. However, in this “baby kingdom” there are men. They are all real!
Kulachev, who repeatedly repeats from the screen that he is only fifty-two years old, is the first real, strong man I saw in the movies and believed that there are such people. Degenerate breed. After him, Marusya, like the Great Wall of China, is strong and forever. At first, the appearance of Nikolai Chindyakin a la Uncle Sharik made me smile because of some frivolity. But there comes a moment when the decisive actions of the hero cease to see a funny appearance.
George is a beautiful young man from an intelligent family. I would even say a very right young man, perfect. I adore Ilya Noskov of that period! There was such energy in this boy! Such a charge of kindness! Recently, he somehow lost both external charisma and shine in his eyes. And Ilyusha under thirty was a miracle! Even if I did not convince you to sit down for watching all the positive emotions, Akinshina’s game, then for the sake of Ilya Noskov, it is definitely worth devoting your time to this project.
The film can be stretched on quotes - wise phrases are full. The plot, despite 5 episodes of screen time, in no case will not be delayed, there is no excess in it. Pleasant music - from timely songs by Garik Sukachev to beautiful melodies without words. Well-designed atmosphericity of the picture - there are rich houses and very poor villages and hostels. Everywhere their problems and joys, familiar to ordinary people, and therefore close and understandable.
My mother looked at me a second time and cried a second time. I almost dropped a tear in the last few minutes. I had a hard time. The film is very touching, funny, all painfully familiar - situations, people, environments. I will definitely review it as soon as possible to live with the heroes of their fate.
