Actors of the movie "Courier" (1986). History of the film

"Courier" - one of the most famous paintings of the times of perestroika. In the film's shooting, both eminent artists and beginners were involved. How did the life of the performer lead? Why after the stellar debut in his filmography so few works? The actors of the movie "Courier" (1986), as well as the history of its creation - the topic of the article.

The creators of the film

In the early eighties, Karen Shakhnazarov's novel The Courier appeared in a literary magazine. A year later the writer and screenwriter decided to film his work. However, the censorship did not miss. The situation changed four years later. In 1986, Shakhnazarov's story seemed to cultural figures is not so anti-Soviet and Shahnazarov began to search for actors.

Plot

The main character of the picture is a young man named Ivan. After graduation, he, on the recommendation of a long-time mother, made an attempt to enter a pedagogical institute at the Faculty of History. However, at the entrance exam, the young man could not even answer the question of when the Baptism of Rus took place. Ivan did not go to college, but he did not get upset.

The hero of Shakhnazarov's picture is deprived of any high aspirations. He spends his time meaninglessly, idly. The way of life of Ivan does not please his mother, and therefore she arranges for him to work in one of the publishing houses by courier. Performing his duties, the protagonist of the film once meets a girl from a good family. The acute social problems of the Soviet society of the eighties are the main theme of the picture.

Actors of the movie "Courier" (1986): F. Dunaevsky, A. Nemoliaeva. How did their cinematographic career develop?

Ivan

On the shooting of this film, Fyodor Dunaevsky got by accident. Shakhnazarov's story was read by a young man in 1982. Then he could not imagine that one day he would play the main role in the adaptation of this work.

Fedor Dunaevsky studied in the same class with Anastasia Nemoliaeva. The girl suggested his candidacy to the director. Many applicants for the main role were considered. The actors of the movie "Courier" (1986) are mostly famous. But in the choice of the performer of the main role, the director stopped the choice of a young man who had nothing to do with cinema.

Why Ivan Dunayevsky was approved by filmmakers? The type of this young man fully corresponded to the hero of the script. In addition, Fedor played musical instruments, thanks to which a touching episode of execution by the main character and his mother of the famous song by Antonov was added to the script.

After the release of the film "Courier" Dunaevsky woke up famous. The role of Ivan was the only vivid work in his filmography. He starred in several films, but in the early nineties he went to Israel. In the emigration had to start everything from scratch. He washed dishes in restaurants, worked as a senior assistant to the waiter, served as head of the working kitchen. A few years later, Fyodor returned to his homeland. Entered the VGIK, the director's department. But Dunayevsky did not finish the institute and returned to Israel.

Kate

The main heroine was Anastasia Nemoliaeva. "Courier" was not for her the first work in the cinema. And on the set, unlike his partner, it was not accidental. Nemoliaeva was born in an artistic family. Her father was known in the cinematographic circles as an operator. Aunt - the famous actress Svetlana Nemoliaeva. To shoot Anastasia began in her early years. But the profession of the actress has never seduced her. So, despite the popularity and audience sympathy, Anastasia left the cinema. Today she is a famous designer. In the movie Nemoliaeva is not removed. However, not so long ago, viewers had the opportunity to see the once-popular actress in the series "Hunters for Diamonds."

Bazin

The actors of the movie "Courier" (1986) are by no means all professional. Vladimir Ivanovich Smirnov was approved for the role of Ivan's friend, a young man dreaming of buying a coat . The newly-made actor differed little from his movie hero. That's why playing the role of Bazin was easy for him. Smirnov played several roles in the movie, and then completely disappeared. According to one of the versions, he died as a result of street brawl.

The famous actors who played in the movie "Courier":

1. Oleg Basilashvili.
2. Vladimir Menshov.
3. Svetlana Kryuchkova.
4. Alexander Pankratov-Black.

The scene in which Ivan gets acquainted with the staff of the publishing house, is built on improvisation. Most of the replicas spoken by Pankratov-Cherniy are not in the script. The prototype of the hero, played by the famous Soviet and Russian actor, was a man who in the eighties occupied the post of editor-in-chief at Mosfilm.

The film caused a resonance in the society. Such paintings were not shot in Soviet cinema before. Despite the apparent comic and lightness, the idea of Shakhnazarov's film has a profound meaning. The hero of the film in the last episodes gives his coat to Bazin. He understands that the army is waiting for him. And, perhaps, Afghanistan.
