The main “hero” of the film directed by Vladimir Fokin according to the script by Anatoly Grebnev “House for the Rich” (Russia, 2000) is an ancient Moscow mansion on Prechistenka. In the XVIII century it was the house of Denis Davydov. After 100 years, the squandered nobleman Burkovsky sells the family estate to a rich German buyer, and the adventures of a two-century house begin. His fate is the history of time and the people living in it. The house saw both Volunteers and Red commanders, he was both a choir and a poor communal. And so in the early 90s, the former “house for the rich” again becomes such: the pitiful corners again turns into luxurious apartments a new owner – a rich artist, poet and satirist Rumyanov. It gathers guests, and the viewer has the opportunity to think about aristocrats and degenerates.
In 2001, the film won Nika for Best Screenplay. It starred wonderful actors: Konstantin Khabensky, Evgeny Sidikhin, Valentin Gaft, Valery Barinov, Valery Garkalin, Alexander Feklistov Yuri Stepanov, Irina Grineva and Tatiana Okunevskaya. close
