Russian comedies about the village: the best films and serials

Works about the Russian countryside are a special genre. A window into the world, familiar to everyone from childhood - even if it's not personal. The village is known for fairy tales and a book, for films and folk songs. There are even separate, recognizable characters, almost archetypes. Hitrovan-muzhichok, a wise old man, a kind grandmother, a local drunkard, the first guy in the village, a beautiful maiden ... There is no need even for descriptions, everyone will immediately present the desired character, just reading the "code" of the definition. All these images have long been living in literature and cinema. Russian comedies about the village can be both a monstrous example of kitsch, and piercing sincerity and kindness with films that can be reviewed many times, getting a lot of fun.

"Wedding in Malinovka"

Old Russian comedies about the village are still interesting to the viewer. The film, which is almost 50 years old - "The Wedding in Malinovka", and everyone saw it. Replicas from this movie broke up into quotes, images embodied by wonderful actors - these are already practically living people, familiar to every spectator. Perhaps contemporaries will not be delighted with the abundance of musical numbers, and the quality of the image, of course, leaves much to be desired. But otherwise the film is wonderful. Unsophisticated, kind, cheerful. Especially memorable are the images of retired artilleryman Yashka, a joker and a "connoisseur of light" and Popandopulo, the finance minister of a nonexistent republic.

The only objective disadvantage of the film is excessive ideologization. But many Russian comedies about the village of that time sin. In the "Wedding in Malinovka" propaganda does not at least look obtrusive, it is perceived simply as a feature of the genre.

"Love and pigeons"

Of course, every Russian spectator is familiar with Vasily Kuzyakin. And if someone else does not know - then you need to get acquainted urgently! This is the character of Vladimir Menshov's film "Love and Doves". Prior to this, the director made a melodrama "Moscow does not believe in tears," and "Love and Doves" was his debut in the genre of "village Russian comedies." About the village Menshov also made a great film. Let him not be awarded an Oscar, but everyone loves him, from small to large, and have been watching for 30 years. The story of the village laborer Vasya, a naive romantic and a lover of pigeons. Vasily is married for a long time, he has almost adult children - and here for the first time in many years Vasya gets a permit to a sanatorium. And there - a fateful meeting with a passionate exotic woman in the performance of Lyudmila Gurchenko. The misfortunes of the unlucky Kazanos cause laughter and tears in the viewer.

Vasily Kuzyakin in his naive haplessness causes sincere sympathy, but how funny it is to watch the characters of the film! And there is someone to look at. Russian comedies about the village can be proud of the participation of legendary actors. Remarkable actor's works of Alexander Mikhailov, Lyudmila Gurchenko, Nina Doroshina, Sergei Jurassic deserve sincere admiration.

Trilogy with the participation of Mikhail Evdokimov

Colorful Russian comedies about the village - "About businessman Foma", "Do not fool around" and "Do not send us ... a messenger." And in the first, and in the second, and in the third film, Mikhail Evdokimov plays - an actor, a humorist, a politician - governor of the Altai Territory.

We can say that these Russian comedies about the village are somewhat exaggerated. The amount of alcohol per capita there clearly exceeds world average standards. But this does not prevent the villagers from shining out of difficult situations, establishing international relations, fighting corruption and seeking the truth. And they do it all fun, cheerfully and cheerfully. Evdokimov deserves special mention. He created a cross-cutting image of a "real Russian peasant". Not too well-mannered, but kind and strong-willed, not too smart, but with the wit is all right. And still strong, hard-working and reliable. A rare attraction image.

"The orphan of Kazan"

In the 90s Russian comedies about the village were a popular topic. But if the trilogy described above is a village "kondovaya", drinking and razuhubistaya, then in "Orphan of Kazan" everything is different. This - a good New Year's story, filmed by Vladimir Mashkov, this is his directorial debut.

The roles involved Valentin Gaft, Lev Durov and Oleg Tabakov. They play the alleged fathers of the girl-orphan Nastia. The fact is that she never saw her father. All she knows is that her mother met with the pope somewhere in the sanatorium. Here is Nastya and publishes in the newspaper a single letter from her mother, addressed to her unknown lover. Three people are recanting: a magician, a military pilot and a ship's cook. Now it's up to the little one to find out who is a real father. Or no one?

"Do not be sad"

Now they also make films about the village. Russian comedies in 2010 were replenished with the film "Do not be sad" directed by Ivan Bychkov. The film features Yevgeny Stychkin, Vladimir Ilyin, Fyodor Dobronravov. These actors are practically a guarantee that the comedy will be funny and quality. What is the film about? In the village of Malye Zaseki there lives a farmer Saveliy. And he dreams of growing a bull with real "marble" meat - the one that is served in the best restaurants in Europe. He feeds the calf according to the instructions, does it every day a massage and even drinks alcohol. But a calf named Tyson grew up a big bull, he does not raise a hand from Saveliy, and every day an animal demands a bucket of alcohol, because he's used to it! To top it all off, Brother Eugene is coming to Savely - a ruined businessman. And he has a lot of ideas about how you can earn in the village. This is where the real problems begin.

"Plot"

This series is not quite comic, although there is enough humor in it. Well, such often there are films about the village. Russian comedies about the village are often really tragicomedies, humor in them is diluted with life, and life is rarely fun.

The uncomprehending city militia officer was sent "to the lowering" - the precinct in the village of Anisovka. It is there that the young investigator finds his real calling. Many will watch this film because in the main role - the popular actor Sergei Bezrukov. Those for whom this name is not an indicator of quality, should simply read the list of the names of the actors involved in the series. Valery Zolotukhin, Vladimir Menchov, Andrei Krasko, Mikhail Efremov, Ekaterina Vasilyeva, Alexander Semchev ... In this series, secondary characters are often much brighter and deeper than the main characters. A short appearance in the frame of Zolotukhin or Vasilyeva is a holiday for those who appreciate a good acting.
