Words from the famous song Utesova "At BlackSea "(" Song about Odessa ") repeatedly tried to display on film almost all domestic filmmakers who have ever made a movie about Odessa. This is an exceptional place due to the charisma, unique features and unordinary nature on the planet. And only the director Sergei Ursulyak inconceivably managed to fill the series "Liquidation", his inner space thus sung by Utyosov air, amazing Odessa color.
The creation of Ursulak is perceived as a fulla film that is only slightly elongated in time (timing). The whole atmosphere, the texture of the narration, painstaking attention to the smallest details, and most importantly - to the glorified Odessa characters made "Liquidation" the best television series of the last times. The television product evokes feelings similar to those that arose in the shower after watching the films "The Meeting Place Can not Be Changed" and "Seventeen Moments of Spring", and even some critics compared Ursulyak's film with the first one named. Until now, among the endless stream of quite worthy films, the series "Liquidation" seems like a real diamond in the countless pile of fakes.
The narration of the film begins in 1946. The dilapidated Odessa with all its might tries to enter the usual course of life after the horror of World War II. The main character - the head of the criminal investigation department David Gotsman (V. Mashkov) - begins to investigate a number of crimes committed by an extremely dangerous gang led by an elusive, dark person - the Academician. The main character is seriously ill, his condition is aggravated by the tragic death of his best friend (S. Makovetsky), who does not survive a mortal wound with a knife.
At this time in the city to assess the situation isMarshal Zhukov himself (V. Men'shov), he is quite determined and in categorical form requires the police to restore order in Odessa. Militiamen lost their feet, but people do not cease to perish at the hands of intruders, secrets are multiplying, and, naturally, the bosses are growing dissatisfied with the work of the protagonist. Eventually, David begins to understand that the Academician therefore outruns him every step, that he has connections in the organs or he himself is serving there. Hence, you need to look for among your own. This is how the creators and the actors become accustomed to the intrigue. "Liquidation" has to view from the first frame.
The film can boast without false modestyexcellent actor's work. First and foremost, it is worth noting the performer of the main role, who reminded everyone that he is able to be not only a hero of a furious action movie, but a real actor who manages to awaken in the viewer a sense of personal involvement in what is happening on the screen. Such an actor can safely be proud of such a series as "Liquidation". Mashkov surpassed himself. His hero is a very courageous, strong man who, without flinching, went through the war and now on the side of the law he fights with those who took the path of crime.
While watching the show you believe absolutely everythingactors, from the main characters to the minor characters, who glimpse in the frame. By the way, in the TV series "Liquidation" Makovetsky got into a tragic accident. The role of the Odessa tramp Andrei was to be played by Andrei Krasko, however he spent only three days on the set, after which he died suddenly. In his place in the teleproject Sergei Makovetsky was invited, who was somehow pinchingly tender, but adorably accurate in the role of a friend of the main character. His cues, seasoned with Odessa's original charisma, can be safely disassembled into quotes.
Do not let the director and other actors. "Liquidation" presents to the viewer's audience a vivid and colorful image of the renegade Chekana, eternally embittered and suffering from this resentment and doom, created by Konstantin Lavronenko. And the secretive, gloomy Krechetov, and the proud Ida, and the enamored Antonina, the calculating, cold-blooded Platov - absolutely all the actors performing the roles of the characters listed, were selected by the director perfectly and accordingly realized by the stage masters. Watching their game, you realize that they are professionals, real actors. "Liquidation" is distinguished by a chic and absolute hit in the goal with casting and selection of performers for all without exception roles.
Strong series C. Ursulyaka is distinguished by a wonderful, informative script, a tense, intriguing detective action and surprisingly realistic proximity to that postwar era. The series has an amazing atmosphere: starting from the musical accompaniment, which does not cut the rumor, but enhances the emotional perception, and ending with the beckoning shady streets and their picturesque inhabitants, the inhabitants of Odessa. And, of course, great actors. "Liquidation" can be proud of so many stars of domestic cinema in the casting lists.
