Melodramas about the village are a separate genre of Russian cinematography, dearly loved, as a rule, by the older generation and housewives. Such is our mentality that low-budget films about people's lives, about love and life in different conditions are liked by the audience from Russian villages, not spoiled by blockbusters and action-adventure films, Hollywood comedies.
Melodramas about the village are distinguished by the simplicity and clarity of the plot, the abundance of characters, the presence of several love lines. All this is “seasoned” with suffering, separation from children, divorces and family quarrels. So, it turns out a rather interesting story in which a young and pretty graduate dreams of a capital and a rich husband, her mother is at war with her father, who is always intoxicated, and her brother is engaged in illegal business and risks going to jail. On such banal plots, as a rule, melodramas about the village are filmed, which are later broadcast on the central channels in the evenings. Who is in this genre of film? Little knownactors, graduates of GITIS and the school. Shchepkin, who have not yet appeared in the "big" cinema. If the producers and directors have a large budget, they invite popular actors for the main roles, who, for a lot of money, agree to act in such uninteresting films. The advantages are that cardboard scenery is used in small quantities here, most of the scenes were filmed “in kind”, that is, in nature and in real conditions. For a considerable fee allocated by the TV channel and the film company, the actors manage not only to work and add another film to their portfolio, but also to relax in the fresh air. It is for this reason that melodramas about the village are popular not only among the audience, but also among the film crew, artists and all those involved in the work on the film. What films of this genre are worth highlighting?
Melodrama-2013
A lot of films have been made about the village, the province and Russian beauties. We all grew up on such wonderful pictures of the Soviet era as "Love and Doves", "Be My Husband" and so on. At the time, all filming took place outdoors, away from indoor sets and sets. Now times have changed, and without computer graphics, processing and a "green screen" cinema cannot be made. In 2013, many good and sincere melodramas were released, including “Talk to me about love”, “While I live, I love”, “Cornflowers”, “Shores of love” and many others.
Melodramas-2013. Russian
About the village and young villagesFilm directors have learned how to shoot. The films are surprisingly heartfelt, a little naive (the Soviet mentality has an effect), and even heartbreaking. The beautiful faces of film actors are a nice bonus. Nothing can spoil the freshness and brightness of a young face. If on a sad autumn evening you want to relax with a good Russian film in the company of your family or alone, turn on the melodrama. Here you will recognize yourself and receive a share of warmth and kindness. The childishly sincere naivety of the thoughts of the heroes will set you in the right mood and give you faith in a brighter future.
