The film "Duhless 2": reviews of viewers and critics

Russian cinema every year presents new and interesting projects with the participation of famous and just beginning career of actors. Nevertheless, Danilo Kozlovsky remains an actor who has captured the minds of not only spectators, but also directors. Every film with his participation is a hit. What is the secret of such success? What is it - charisma, acting talent or the ability to competently choose roles? Perhaps this is a combination of qualities and a bit of luck. In March 2015, Danila again shines on the screens in the movie "Duhleless 2". Reviews of viewers and critics are different, and yet many believe that the story was a success.

Sergei Minaev and his "child"

In 2006, a famous Russian presenter, writer and businessman Sergei Minaev published a book called "Duhless". The author himself presented it as a tale of a fake person. The work of Minaev received a wide resonance among fans of his work and spurred interest in his person among ordinary people. And when the film about the tragedy of a modern man based on Minaev's work was made, he was talked about in the scale of the country. Initially, the author did not plan to release the continuation of the book. But, apparently, commercial success prompted the talented author to work on the continuation of the painting under the same name "Duhless 2". The feedback of the sequel has received no less enthusiastic from both critics and viewers.

Prehistory of the film

Apparently, a well-deserved producer and just a man with a good taste, Fyodor Bondarchuk, after seeing what interest Minaev's book caused, decided to recreate this story on the screen and invited to do the direction of the film of no less talented Roman Prygunov, who previously made several ambiguous films. Picking up a brilliant team, the producers shot an interesting modern drama, which makes one think about friendship, loyalty, humanity, love and the many components of life of real people. The first film collected 15 million dollars at the box office and became one of the most successful Russian films of recent times. Perhaps that's why the filmmakers decided to continue the story of Max Andreev and Russian society as a whole and began work on the sequel. The film "Duhless 2", whose reviews are mixed, many film lovers have recognized as a worthy continuation, and Fyodor Bondarchuk himself said that he is very happy, because the film is more like a separate product, because it can be viewed without background.

Downshift

As Sergey Minaev admitted, he had no idea to write a sequel, and yet he became the author of the script. "Downshift" - that's the way it was supposed to be called the next film about a fake person. Almost before the premiere producers, having conferred, nevertheless decided to leave the old name. The film "Duhless 2" sounded more reliable from a commercial point of view.

How

Over the second part of the film, work began in 2013. The script was reworked several times and finalized. Above him worked not only Sergei Minaev, but a whole team of writers - Fuad Ibragimbekov, Andrei Ryvkin and Mikhail Idov. An interesting fact: without the fascinating story of "Duhless 2", the cast could change dramatically. The main star of the drama - Danila Kozlovsky - for a long time did not confirm his participation in the continuation of the film. According to the actor himself, he was waiting for a "catchy" story, because, as a rule, he is not removed in the sequels. The director's chair was taken by the already-loved Roman Prygunov.

The film "Duhless 2", whose reviews were mixed on the eve of the film, was shot in picturesque places on the island of Bali and at Moscow shopping and entertainment venues, fashion boutiques and business centers.

The plot of the movie

The new "Duhless" tells the story of former capital top manager Max Andreev, who abandoned his former life and went to Bali. In this paradise corner, Max starts a new life, reinterprets values and misses the homeland, or rather, by beloved girl Yule, who refused to accompany him in this voyage.

Under the weight of the circumstances, Max is forced to return to Moscow. For three years of his absence, much has changed here. Other capitals, other figures, legal business, and the girl Julia is already the wife of the Moscow billionaire.

Max again finds himself in a fascinating detective story, only a real person can get out of it. It is thanks to the fascinating plot of "Duhless 2", the audience's reviews about which are mostly enthusiastic, today is in the lead in the Russian box office.

Danila Kozlovsky - Max Andreev

It's no secret that such a picture was gained not only thanks to the plot, but also its main highlight - Danila Kozlovsky. Max Andreev in the performance of this actor became a new sex symbol of Russian cinema. The actor himself admits that probably many of his colleagues dream of playing such a character, because he has many different qualities - an intellectual, a romantic, a pragmatist, bold, witty, benevolent, indecisive. In general, everything is little by little, and most importantly, that this is a man of our generation. Interesting is the fact that in the current movie involved new characters and actors. "Duhless 2" is associated with the first part only the story line of the protagonist and his lover.
