Criminal drama "Alien". The actors of the art house parable

Full-length debut project directed by Anton Bormatov "Alien" (actors: N. Romanikyova, K. Polukhin, A. Otradnov, E. Mundum, A. Golubkov, E. Tkachuk) is an art house parable about the true nature of evil.

Plot

The narrative unfolds during the dashing 90s. The team of "brothers" in the number of 4 people goes to the capital of the Czech Republic, Prague, to deliver the sister of the newly arrested criminal authority of Babay. Angela, she is Alien, for accomplices of the arrested person should become the guarantor of his silence. And all would be nothing, but the girl turns out to be something like the embodiment of a dark goddess whose nature is completely devoid of any principles, but is filled with infernal cynicism.

Creators

About the events taking place in the fatherland and near abroad, three adequate films were shot: "Brigade", approached the level of genius "Boomer" and the cult "Brother". Fans of the genre of criminal drama expected that "Alien" (actors including) will be the fourth. Critics predicted the similarity of the picture with "Born Killers" or "Nikita", but the authors created something different. The film "Alien", the actors and roles of which were selected by all the famous Konstantin Ernst, was shot by the work of a certain Vladimir Adolfych, Nesterenko, who, according to rumors, knew what he was writing about, not by hearsay. The rights to the adaptation of his opus were acquired by Konstantin Ernst and Igor Tolstunov (producers who always choose catchy stories and who can correctly interpret them). It's no accident that the creators made bets on the dark horses, preparing to shoot the drama "Alien" (2010), - the actors are all as one little known, from provincial theater companies, the director is a debutante, formerly a serialist.

Beyond the degree of reliability

The picture is absolutely adequate to the script. The atmosphere of the 90s is recreated with an amazing frenzied perfectionism. All the heroes of the picture are real, live, behave as it should be. Convinces the beholder in the reality of what is happening absolutely every moment: the actors are unknown, nobody covers himself with a blanket, everything is extremely accurate - the director, the cameraman, the performers of the main roles. Drama "Alien" - a film (2010), the actors of which, especially Cyril Polukhin (Malysh) and Natalia Romanycheva (Alien), create a prohibitive degree of reliability of what is happening.

The most powerful benefit performance

Chuzhaya herself (the actors during the filming called the actress, and not otherwise) - the intelligent theater actress Natalia Romanicheva - one of the greatest successes of the film. Even the very first frame with its direct participation gives the event a certain meaning. Prior to this project, almost none of the domestic filmmakers could show the heroine, on which the white light would converge. It was her debut role on the big screen, and the starring actress is flawless. The authors made the right decision and took advantage of the success of casting, pushing the relationship of Alien and Shustroi to the fore in the second part. The accents, arranged by the creator and embodied by the actors on the screen, remind the story of Prosper Merimee "Carmen". It turns out that the heroine Romanychova - this is one of the film incarnations of the classical gypsy.

Jose-Bright

Yevgeny Tkachuk made his debut in the big cinema in 2007 and before shooting "Alien" managed to try on the hypostasis of the director and screenwriter, together with his friend Daniel Vorobyov, to create a short film "Prayer". The experiment was successful: the three-minute session collected more than 12 awards at various, including international film festivals. Participation in the project Anton Bormatov became a real springboard for Tkachuk. After "Alien" he received an offer to perform the main role (Mishka Japonchik) in the TV-series of Sergei Ginzburg "The Life and Adventures of Mishka Yaponchik." This role brought Tkachuku frenzied popularity.

On the right of choice, evil and revenge

"Stranger" is a film (2010), the actors of which do not play as much as read a radio play. And among the heroes there is not one, even an episodic or secondary character, which would evoke sympathy and sympathy of the audience. Andryukha (Kid) performed by Kirill Polukhin, Giry - actor Anatoly Otradnov, Zhenya (Shustry) - Yevgeny Tkachuk - these are the characters that cause a bitter hatred for the beholder. This is facilitated by the texture of little-known actors - one has a very low forehead, the second has a disproportionately long nose, the third has a too simple-hearted face.

Perhaps negative emotions fueled by frequent demonstrations of bare bodies in profile and from the rear and nauseating shots of beatings and brutal torture. It exacerbates the perception and musical accompaniment of the picture, which is based on rotations of various retro-radio stations. The effect of full immersion in the atmosphere of the era they do not create. The drama of Anton Bormatov "Alien" (the actors confirm this fact) is not an adventurous gangster story with chases and shootings, this is the author's reflection on the right of choice, evil and revenge.
