"After school". Actors and roles

Studio Walt Disney, filming the project for the First Channel about the life of schoolchildren, their parents and teachers, invited to take a responsible position of the director of a curious creative union - the brothers Presnyakov and Andrei Boltenko. They were destined to shoot nine episodes of the series "After school." Actors invited to participate in the shootings are known and fervently loved by the domestic audience: Mikhail Porechenkov, Fyodor Bondarchuk, Alexander Gordon and others.

Antipodes

If you try to list the school series that were broadcasted on Channel One, Valeria Gai Germanika's TV movie School, which once literally blew up the air and provoked violent irreconcilable discussions, would immediately come to mind. As it turned out, the film "School" and the series "After school" were conceived and shot almost simultaneously and positioned as antipodes, so the name of the second has a double meaning. However, in the process of production, a number of unforeseen changes occurred, as a result of which the shooting dragged on for a long four years.

Fruit of co-creation

The film "After school" was created by an interesting creative union. In addition to the director of the Moscow Eurovision show, Andrei Boltenko, the famous representatives of the "new drama", the scriptwriters of I. Dykhovich's films "Europe-Asia", M. Porechenkov's "Day D" and the plays "Representing the Victim" And "Terrorism" - the Presnyakov brothers. They wrote the script of the series "After school", the actors and the roles of the TV project were also selected for each other with their direct participation, since the Presnyakovs also appeared in the hypostases of the comparators.

The origin of this co-creation of the arthouse with the mass culture contains all the parental qualities, combining the television color of the visual component with the plot twists and monologues saturated with the wonderful, from time to time rolling down to the absurdity of humor. This is the show "After School".

Fairy tale-byl

The plot of the TV project is built at the intersection of three circles of relations: the world of children (schoolchildren), the world of the teaching staff of the school and the world of the parental community. The narrative unfolds in the near future, so it can be called a fairy tale. The series "After school", whose actors, embodying the idea of the creators, demonstrated the whole range of acting skills, is divided into nine episodes. Everyone is individually named after one of the teenage students, and the plot is built through the prism of his relationship with himself and the world around him.

Indisputable core, according to critics, was the extravagant Frida, which was embodied on the screen daughter of Ksenia Rappoport Aglaya Tarasova. Passing the casting for the shooting of the picture "After school", the actors directly communicated with the authors of the project, which sometimes, like in the case of Aglaya Tarasova, ruled images of characters under the texture of the selected performers.

Actors' Ensemble

Acted in the series "After School" actors in different roles:

• Sergey Shakurov. The Soviet and Russian theater and film actor played the role of the school's director. The actor collaborated with great domestic directors: Andrei Konchalovsky, Nikita Mikhalkov, Pyotr Todorovsky. His filmography is so impressive and diverse that there is no doubt about his professionalism.
• Mikhail Porechenkov, who gained fame after coming out on the screens of the "National Security Agent", embodied in the project character fizruka.
• Mikhail Trukhin - Lieutenant (after - captain and major) Volkov from the series "The Streets of Broken Lights". He played a dashing Trudovik (teacher of labor training).

The roles of the students were played in the film After School by the actors: A. Setykin, E. Shlyanda, M. Lustin, A. Tarasova, A. Fandeyev and other representatives of talented youth.

There is in the series cameo, performed by recognizable "media persons". For example, skater Ilya Averbukh played not only himself, but also his chauffeur. In one of the episodes of the project Oleg Skrypka, frontman of the group Vopli Vidoplyasova, was shown up.

Summary

While watching the television it becomes clear that the creators have perfectly studied both the full list of interests of Russian teenagers and the American youth series, which have been successfully tested. In general, the project is a mixture of episodes in the genre of sitcom, musical domestic and foreign video clips, passions boiling around conducted in-school sports competitions, features of the national mentality, and this cocktail is generously spiced with a fair amount of insolence. According to Konstantin Ernst, the viewer simply needs to relax and enjoy viewing, as "After school" turned out to be a nerve-paralytic and hallucinogenic thing.
