“I can do anything” in French and a family story about the Nakhimovites: the main film premieres of the week

"Nakhimov"

Director Oleg Shtrom made a film about growing up, awareness of oneself and one's values, unity and maturity of young cadets of the Nakhimov Naval School.

In the center of the plot are the twin brothers Semyon and Timofey Loginov from a family of hereditary sailors.

However, they do not seek to follow in the footsteps of their ancestors, preferring to walk, have fun and earn money, even if not entirely legal.

Nevertheless, the father sends the heroes to the Nakhimov School.

At first, the teenagers are angry with their father, constantly arguing with a senior in rank and plan to do everything to get them expelled.

But gradually the brothers are drawn into the learning process and find true friends.

The twins were played by feature debutants Nikita and Daniil Khodunov.

According to the latter, filming was not an easy experience for them, but the support of the film crew helped to cope with the excitement.

“At the beginning, of course, it was exciting, because it was our first experience, and we still didn’t know what a camera, close-up, middle shot was, but the whole team helped us with this, from the director to other actors and producers.

The main assistant is my brother, of course, ”the artist shared with reporters after the film was shown.

Sergey Garmash, Andrey Merzlikin, Vasilisa Shakunova, Ivan Batarev and others also played in the tape.

Filming took place in the St. Petersburg building of the Nakhimov Naval School and partly in Vladivostok (ships of the Pacific Fleet).

According to one of the producers, most of the cadets who appear on the screen are real Nakhimov pupils.

"Don't star!"

(menteur)

The hero of the picture is the charming gouging Jerome, whose main talent is the ability to lie.

Inventive lies and not very, small or large-scale, most importantly - constant and out of love for art.

Looking into the eyes of the interlocutor and claiming that he is a karate champion and an astronaut, and also personally acquainted with Miss World, is a way of life for Jerome.

One morning, the main character is surprised to realize that all his lies, even the most ridiculous ones, come true.

Whales appear in Nice, because the "season", Jerome's brother becomes a complete loser, and even acquires a third kidney, and women do not let the liar pass.

The plot of the picture in places seems to balance between the films “Liar!

Liar!"

and “Bruce Almighty” with Jim Carrey and “I Can Do Anything” with Simon Pegg, but to suspect director Olivier Barra (“Election Day in French”, “Handsome with Experience”, “Special Agents on Vacation”) in plagiarism will not work: all of his Comedies are classic French humor.

"Singer on the whole head" (Falling for Figaro)

Millie is an ordinary girl who works in an office and lives like everyone else.

But she has a dream - to become a singer.

For this, Millie decided to quit her job, leave her lover and go to the Scottish outback to study with the absurd opera diva Megan Jeffrey-Bishop, performed by BAFTA award winner Joanna Lumley (The Wolf of Wall Street, Paddington 2, Eurotour) .

She agrees to train the heroine, but immediately warned that "it will be true suffering."

The film was shot in the comedy melodrama genre and is a motivating story about finding oneself, overcoming obstacles on the way to the goal and, of course, about love.

"Asphalt Sun"

The comedy melodrama by Ilya Khotinenko (“Odyssey 1989”, “Call Me a Genie”, “Love from a Test Tube”) brings the viewer back to the era of the late Soviet Union with carefully recreated details: record makers, boiled jeans, massive radios.

Even the color correction of Asphalt Sun is maximally stylized to resemble Soviet cinema.

At the same time, the picture does not play on nostalgia: this is a story, including for a young viewer who is interested in knowing "how it was then."

The main character of the tape Artyom Belov is 15 years old.

This is a teenager with a set of problems inherent in his age and an outlet - a skateboard, which was then called a skateboard.

The hero experiences his first love, tests the strength of true friendship, experiences difficulties in communicating with peers and tries to win a dangerous street competition - a race on the Road of Death.

Asphalt Sun is a film about growing up, fighting and overcoming obstacles.

“(Film. -

) that it’s very cool to find some kind of platform for yourself (even if it’s a stupid board with wheels) and get hung up on it so much that you can solve all problems with it.

It can be anything: religion, hobbies, falling in love, magic, astrophysics… The main thing is to find some kind of coordinate system, some kind of support, and then with its help you can overcome a lot, ”Khotinenko told the Kultura newspaper.
