Sergey Dobrotvorsky<\/strong><\/p>\n

Sergei Dobrotvorsky in the film is hidden under the name of Sergei Dobrovolsky (Alexander Gorchilin).\u00a0Dobrotvorsky is a native Petersburger-Leningrader, one of the cult film critics of the 1980s and 90s.\u00a0Since 1996, he has been the chairman of the Guild of Historians of Cinema and Film Critics of St. Petersburg.\u00a0He was published in the magazines “Seans”, “Art of Cinema”, “Pink sparkles<\/strong><\/a>“, “OM”, as well as in the newspaper “Kommersant-daily”.\u00a0Dobrotvorsky was a bright, artistic person who fell in love with himself at first sight.\u00a0In 1984, together with like-minded people, he founded the theater “On the Windowsill”, in which he staged performances.\u00a0The film critic even recorded video messages for VHS-cassettes of films, preparing viewers for viewing.\u00a0Dobrotvorsky dreamed of making his own movie, wrote the script for the vampire horror “Ghoul”.\u00a0He died of a heroin overdose in 1997.<\/p>\n

Karina Dobrotvorskaya<\/strong><\/p>\n

In the film, her heroine is called Kira.\u00a0She is played by two actresses at once – Anya Chipovskaya in her youth and Victoria Isakova in a more mature age.\u00a0Karina was the second wife of Dobrotvorsky.\u00a0She was 7 years younger than Sergei, who taught her.\u00a0She started as a theater critic, then published in “Log Horizon season 3<\/strong><\/a>” and “The Art of Cinema” in collaboration with her husband.\u00a0Shortly before Dobrotvorsky’s death, she divorced him and once again married the journalist of the Kommersant edition, Alexei Tarkhanov.\u00a0Karina made a dizzying career at the Conde Nast publishing house – from the editor of the culture department of the Russian version of Vogue magazine to the president of the international directorate.\u00a0Since 2013 he has been living and working in Paris.\u00a0In 2014 she published her book \u201cHas anyone seen my girl?\u00a0100 Letters to Seryozha “about marriage with Sergei Dobrotvorsky.<\/p>\n

The published memoirs caused an extremely controversial reaction from friends and acquaintances of the ex-spouses.\u00a0The script for the film was created on the basis of the book.<\/p>\n

Mikhail Trofimenkov<\/strong><\/p>\n

The film critic Mikhail Trofimenkov’s name in the film is simply Misha (VasilyButkevich).\u00a0Together with Kira, he went to Dobrovolsky for his birthday.\u00a0Trofimenkov was a friend of the Dobrotvorsky family and an eyewitness to many of the events shown in the picture.\u00a0Trofimenkov together with Dobrotvorsky founded the theater “On the Windowsill”, was and is the author of the magazine “Black Bullet Season 2<\/strong>\u00a0<\/a>” and the newspaper “Kommersant”.\u00a0He is the author of several important books on cinema.\u00a0Among them are “The History of Russian Cinema in 50 Films”, “Red Noir of Hollywood.\u00a0Part I. Hollywood Regional Committee “and” Red Noir of Hollywood.\u00a0Part II.\u00a0Hollywood War “.\u00a0Trofimenkov is a member of the older generation of Russian film critics.\u00a0In the film, they repeatedly have a sit-down in the kitchen.\u00a0Obligatory attributes of such meetings are vodka, pickles and cigarette smoke.<\/p>\n

Love Arcus<\/strong><\/p>\n

Founder of the Seance magazine and the\u00a0Anton is near here charitable foundation\u00a0.\u00a0Love Arcus – in the film Lisa.\u00a0Her role was played by Maria Shalaeva.\u00a0Lisa invited Dobrovolsky to publish in her magazine, brought him a vintage table for housewarming and asked for his opinion on Mikhalkov’s new film.\u00a0Lisa is a woman with a business acumen, such is her prototype.\u00a0Arkus continues to take an active part in the work of both the Session and the foundation.\u00a0She became interested in the problems of people with autism spectrum disorder when she met Anton Kharitonov.\u00a0It gave the name to the Arkus documentary, Anton Is Here Nearby, which was released in 2012.\u00a0And in 2013, a fund of the same name was founded.<\/p>\n

Directors, movie quotes and other references<\/strong><\/p>\n

The film opens with an episode at the Aurora cinema in St. Petersburg (it still works).\u00a0Sergei and Kira are watching Godard’s “On the Last Breath”.\u00a0Sergei is fascinated by Godard, Kira – by Sergei.\u00a0It happens on a summer day, when Dobrovolsky supposedly has a birthday (this is not true, Dobrotvorsky was born on January 22).<\/p>\n

The picture of Angelina Nikonova in the same “Aurora” ends.\u00a0At the entrance to the cinema there is a poster of the movie “Has anyone seen my girl?”\u00a0Kira, already performed by Victoria Isakova, stands in the aisle and looks at the screen.\u00a0On it – she herself (only performed by AniChipovskaya) and Sergei in one of the most romantic moments in life.\u00a0The film’s structure is ironically looped by self-quotation.<\/p>\n

By the way, about posters and posters.\u00a0They are used to decorate the interiors of apartments in the 90s.\u00a0At the Dobrovolsky house there is a poster of the great film “In the Last Breath”, at the end of which the hero of Jean-Paul Belmondo dies.\u00a0Angelina Nikonova hints that Sergei lives just as rapidly and dies young.<\/p>\n

When Sergei already lives with Kira, the walls of their apartment are decorated with posters of the films “Outlaw” by Jim Jarmusch and “Twin Peaks” by David Lynch.\u00a0Attentive viewers may notice a slight inconsistency.\u00a0The cult series was released in 1990, and in Russia in 1993.\u00a0And on the gravestone of Dobrovolsky, the dates of life “1960-1990” are indicated.\u00a0Probably, Sergei could not have seen “Twin Peaks”, but this detail indicates his cinematic taste.<\/p>\n

In one of the episodes, Dobrovolski records a performance of a film with the participation of ZbigniewCybulski.\u00a0On the walls of the video salon there are posters of the films “Jaws” and “Why was Cat Crazy in Victorious<\/strong><\/a>“.\u00a0Speaking about Tsybulsky, Sergei emphasizes that the actor died twice – in reality and on the screen: \u201cand in life it happened from vodka\u201d.\u00a0Another gentle allusion to the mores of the Leningrad artistic intelligentsia of that time – surrounded by Dobrovolsky, everyone drank vodka from crystal glasses.<\/p>\n

In another scene, Kira and Sergei play movie quotes.\u00a0The fun ends with a hilarious nod to Bertolucci’s Last Tango in Paris.\u00a0In the film, Paul (Marlon Brando) has anal sex with Jeanne (Maria Schneider), instead of lube, he uses butter.\u00a0At Nikonova’s, Dobrovolsky takes out a pack of oil from the refrigerator and with a smile goes to Kira.\u00a0Guessing what is at stake, the girl, bursting into laughter, runs into the bedroom.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
