2017 promises to be rich in good new movie distribution. Russia ceases to play the role of "lagging behind," building capacity in relation to the quality of films produced. Cinema makes tremendous success in the genres of action, drama and comedy. On the screen, historical facts, backstage intrigues and intimate details of key personalities of the past are increasingly being embodied.
We invite you to get acquainted with 10 most anticipated Russian films 2017 year.
10. Anna Karenina. Intimate diary
An attempt to transfer the classic plot to a modern twist. The first "swallow" was the British "Sherlock", and he was a masterpiece. Yuri Grymov himself, a talented theater director with a powerful vision of events, took up the direction of the film "Anna Karenina", which opens the top 10 most anticipated premieres of Russian production. The last time he turned to the classics 15 years ago and now again storms the bridgehead of cinema. The impudent creator with a special flair has never been wrong. The highlight of the picture is the soundtrack from Diana Arbenina.
9. Large
The picture is built around a girl who seeks to conquer the stage of the most important theater in Russia. Here, the luxury of interiors, and the wealth of costumes, and even professional ballet dancers dancing as well as if born in pointe shoes. The director is Valery Todorovsky, known for the extremely successful films "Poddubny" and "Geographer drank the globe." Such a person is practically the guarantee of the success of one of the most anticipated films of the year.
8. Matilda
The infamous work of Alexei Uchitel gained popularity even before entering the big screens. This was facilitated by Natalia Poklonskaya herself (a deputy of the State Duma), who decided to check the tape for libel against Nicholas II. Her worries are partly understandable: the character is far from being a saint. The story of Tsarevich Nikolai, the ballerina Matilda and the nobleman Vorontsov will unfold against the backdrop of the incomparable scenery of key Moscow and St. Petersburg theaters.
7. Time of the First
Another patriotic picture of a feat. It will be about the difficulties of man's entry into space. The trailer demonstrates to the horror reliable shots of the astronaut’s ridiculous and clumsy tumbling in a bloated spacesuit, backed up by bravura insets of the chronicle and even an interview with Alekseev Leonov himself. The most anticipated film about space by Russians promises to be very beautiful, because Timur Bekmambetov is producing the film, and Dmitry Kiselev acted as the director. They will be able to convey a sense of patriotism and pride in the main characters, whose achievements to this day keep the domestic cosmonautics.
6. The Legend of Kolovrat
The “Viking” wave had a serious impact on the cinema. Previously, ours only touched on the theme of World War II, but now they are threatening more global historical topics that require a wide scope and an impressive budget. In the center is the Ryazan hero Evpatiy, heroically, albeit hopelessly opposing Batu Khan. The triumph of the Russian spirit is revealed here. And the trailer shows a lot of dynamic and epic battle scenes. It will be hot.
5. Selfie
The success of the two parts of Duhless showed that the audience enthusiastically awaits the film adaptation of Sergei Minaev’s novels, especially if the main role is played by Danila Kozlovsky. The plot of "Selfie" tells about the writer and presenter Vladimir Bogdanov, so loaded up in constant parties and fans that he did not notice his own double, crushing the fruits of other people's labor. While the vile “clone” successfully uses the fame and fortune of the original, the protagonist becomes the same gray mass hated by him.
4. Leaves: hope dies last
Children of the 90s associate "Field of Miracles" with Yakubovich, and "Guess the melody" - with Pelsh. The figure of Vlad Listyev is alien to them. However, the older generation remembers the talented journalist and showman who stood at the origins of the transformation of Russian television. The main character created an entertaining and analytical show that survived its own creator. The person Listyev devoted a lot of books, films and essays, but the key attention is the mystery of the death of the leader.
3. Defenders
Superhero theme, created from the comics "DC Comics" and "Marvel" set a new vector for the development of cinema, attracting countless fans. Creating a domestic similar film was a matter of time. The first to join the niche was Sarik Andreasyan, the author of the unexpectedly successful “Earthquake”. He was criticized many times, but some cherish the timid hope that the picture, which opens the list of the 3 most anticipated Russian films, will be successful. Well, the hero of the tape is the “symbol” of Russia and the personification of power - a bear man named Arsus.
2. Attraction
Fedor Bondarchuk is a talented director, but this work is completely different from his previous films. He decided to go all-in, creating a picture that tells about the first contact of people with an extraterrestrial life form. A very bold move in view of the global release of Arrivals two months earlier. We also take into account the fact that his work “Inhabited Island” did not win much success among critics and spectators. Fedor himself believes in the success of the work not only because of special effects, but also the first-class game of Irina Starshenbaum and Alexander Petrov.
1. Paradise
Andrei Konchalovsky conceived a masterpiece project that tells about the horrors of the Holocaust. Previously, similar tapes were shot by Stephen Spielberg (Schindler's List) and Roman Polanski (Pianist). The director originally approached a topic that seemed to have outlived itself. The most anticipated Russian film of 2017 in some places seems pseudo-documentary: most of the time, the main characters reveal their motivation. It seems corny, but Konchalovsky took advantage of this technique brilliantly.
All events are tied to the character of Olga (Julia Vysotskaya) - an aristocrat who fled to France. She contacted the Resistance, and then fell into the shelter of Jewish children, for which she was sent to a concentration camp. The story is extremely intriguing and partly scary.
