The actors of the film "Wasabi" - the favorites of Luc Besson

The film "Vassabi" is an emotional film history created by one of the most interesting and tireless Frenchmen of our time - Luke Besson, who has already traditionally acted as a screenwriter and producer. But this project the maestro entrusted to shoot already verified director Gerard Kravchik, with whom he worked on the films from the popular trilogy "Taxi". Actors of the film "Wasabi", who worked with the director Kravchik, still noted the recognizable "Besson" style of the picture.

Another indicative crime comedy

Fans Besson got what they expected - another incendiary criminal comedy, and "Wasabi" - a film whose actors are world famous and popular. The protagonist, the police commissioner Hubert Fiorentin (more than the charismatic Jean Reno), is distinguished by a harsh temper, straightforwardness, a firm hand and a strong blow. But in everyday life, not in the line of duty, he is a shy and shy person, a monogamous person. For 19 long years, Huber continues to love the same woman, Miko, despite having spent several months with her in Japan, and after she disappeared without a trace. But one day, after so many years, he gets news from Tokyo: his beloved is dead. In addition to the invitation to the funeral, the man must attend the reading of the will of the deceased. Actors of the film "Wasabi" during the filming called the prearranged prelude to the most interesting.

Continuation of the story line

The confused and distressed protagonist is heading to Tokyo, where he learns eye-popping news - he has a teenage daughter. A juvenile amusing girl, adoring strange clothes, displeased with her nose (exactly like a papule), according to the will, on the day of majority will get access to a bank account - a colossal amount of 160 million dollars. Mother of the girl was not so simple, she managed to provide a daughter with a worthy existence, having withdrawn the given sum from the Japanese mafia. Representatives of a criminal organization are ready to do everything to return lost finances. But the baby has a reliable protector, father in combination, the thunderstorm of the whole underworld - Hubert Fiorentino.

Action or comedy?

"Wasabi" is a film, the actors and roles of which were chosen by Besson himself, because the atmosphere of the tape depended not only on the characters prescribed, but also on the skill and professionalism of the invited actors. What is more in the movie, a comedy or an action movie, is sometimes incomprehensible, this is not only the merit of Besson and Kravchik, although everything is extremely dynamic, bright and fun, but also by Jean Reno. The main actor of the film "Wasabi," Besson's favorite actor, is simply magnificent, and the role of the shy bum succumbed to the actor this time too. The image of a steep and experienced policeman was tried on by many stars of world cinema, but few people managed to create a memorable character. The hero of Reno will be remembered to the audience necessarily, he has a lot of irony, humor and even comic, although Huber did not smile for the whole timekeeping. This is the comedic talent of the actor. His character is bright, lively and sometimes parodic. The actors of the film "Wasabi" paid tribute to his talent, agreeing that it was he who pulled the picture to a decent cinematic level.

Naparnitsa Reno, daughter of Hubert, almost Mylene Farmer

Nadarnitsa Reno - star of Japanese youth cinema Ryoko Hiroshu, who managed to record three albums and star in several films, created a very original image of a restless Japanese girl. The actress diligently learned the text of her role, not even having a decent knowledge of the French language. During the shooting of a picture in Tokyo, a couple of actors were chased by numerous fans, so some scenes on the street were shot hastily. Actors of the film "Wasabi", photos of which appeared with an enviable periodicity on the advertising posters of the picture, after the release of the film in the rental acquired global international popularity.

Old friend and ex-partner

The role of the old friend and ex-partner Fiorentini Momo, who lives in Japan, brilliantly performed the famous actor Michel Muller. "Wasabi" is a film, the actors of which moved from the previous Besson project - "Taxi-2". For the character, Momo Hubert is an ideal, a real animated film star, so he tries in every way to help his ex-partner. It is like an admiring viewer, who takes part in the unfolding action. Müller's character is a standard comic hero. Together with Reno, they are like a duet from the movie "Aliens" - Reno-Clavier. The actors of the film "Wasabi" helped the creators to realize the author's idea and gave the audience a chic light comedy thriller.

Not without the usual film-stamps

After the release of the film, many film critics spoke about Besson's project rather unflatteringly, but few people paid any attention to boring claims. The viewer after viewing the picture felt positive emotions, was delighted with amusing episodes, good-quality comedic direction by Gerard Kravchik. But for the sake of justice it is worth noting that the abundance of film stamps really did not go to the picture for good. Huge suitcases, stuffed with weapons, partner - comedian and wily, the main antagonist with a face covered with scars (Yoshi Oid) - all this already was, tested by many films popkornovy Hollywood set. But if in Hollywood the ability to write funny dialogues is considered an anachronistic, then the French cinema does not necessarily have to follow it.
