The hero of this article, Honored and People's Artist of Russia Sergei Makovetsky, is one of the most outstanding and memorable personalities of Russian cinema. People who know this amazing actor closely speak of him as a soft and pliable man-"clay", who can easily and absolutely naturally play any role in any genre. And we will soon be able to verify this for ourselves, as soon as we begin to study a long list of films with Makovetsky.

Short biography of the actor

The birthplace of Sergei Vasilyevich was a suburb of Kyiv, where on the picturesque bank of the Dnieper River there was a holiday village Darnitsa, in which he appeared on an unlucky date - June 13, 1958, which, it would seem, determined his entire future personal and acting fate forever doubting everything, including his own undoubted talent, a man.

As a boy, Sergei grew up active and athletic, he was fond of figure skating and water polo, according to which he was one step away from enrolling in the national team. However, the mother, raising her son alone, somehow managed to dissuade him from big-time sports, and then fate in the form of a domineering foreign language teacher herself pushed Sergei to the acting profession, by order of assignment, assigning him to the school theater group. It was in it that the eighth-grader Makovetsky, whose list of films today exceeds eight dozen works in the cinema and will be presented in this article a little later, first appeared on the stage. It was the scene of the school theater circle that brought the future famous actor the first rapture from entering the image of a hero.

After graduating from school, Sergei's dreams of acting initially suffered a number of setbacks, but in the end his struggle with circumstances was over, and he entered the Shchukin Theater School, the only specialized educational institution in which he was accepted …

Filmography

Until the beginning of the 80s, Sergei Makovetsky, by his own admission, only dreamed of cinema, from time to time coming to the building of the Mosfilm film studio and devouring it with his eyes, hoping to see at least a piece of cinematic life.

A miracle happened already in 1982 - the novice actor was given a chance to try himself by the Odessa film studio, entrusting him with a small role of Alexander Proletkin in the three-part TV movie "Take Alive", dedicated to the harsh everyday life of Soviet intelligence officers inyears of the Great Patriotic War.

Let's find out what films Makovetsky starred in in addition to the above pictures and what his works in the cinema we need to dwell on in more detail.

About freaks and people

The first in the chronology of outstanding works of our today's hero is the dramatic and scandalous film "About Freaks and People", which premiered at the Cannes Film Festival in 1998.

The picture tells the story of the main character - the owner of the photo studio Johann, whose role was brilliantly played by Sergei Makovetsky. The basement of Johann's studio is a kind of indescribable theater of the absurd with naked human animals being used to shoot hardcore erotic photos.

Outside the window of the hero of the film, the monotonous crazy days of the early twentieth century hang, and inside the atelier, Johann writes his bitter story about the terrible nature of mankind over and over again, turning ordinary people into lustful freaks over and over again…

72 meters

The list of films with Makovetsky continues with the 2004 drama "72 meters", released four years after the tragic death of one hundred and eighteen members of the crew of the nuclear submarine "Kursk". Despite the fact that the picture is based on the memoirs of a real submariner, written long before the terrible events in the Barents Sea, the overwhelmingmost viewers perceived "72 meters" as a screen version of that particular tragedy.

In this film twisting the soul inside out, Sergei Makovetsky played the role of a civilian doctor Chernenko, for whose evacuation the crew members who survived at that time give him the only working breathing apparatus…

Death of the Empire

In 2005, the first season of the historical multi-episode drama "The Fall of the Empire" began on the country's television screens, telling about the work of domestic counterintelligence in the second decade of the 20th century, when Russia found itself at the epicenter of the First World War.

While Russian soldiers are dying on the battlefield, waves of revolutionary sentiment and unrest are sweeping across the country. Before the viewer unfolds a large-scale picture of the collapsing Russian Empire, torn into three parts by the Bolsheviks, Social Revolutionaries and Russian officers.

Sergey Makovetsky got the role of Alexander Mikhailovich Nesterovsky, a former professor of law, forced by the will of time to become a captain of army intelligence.

Blind Man's Bluff

In the same 2005, Makovetsky appears before the audience in a completely different and unexpected guise, authentically playing the "foreman" Crown in Alexei Balabanov's black comedy "Blind Man's Bluff", the advertising slogan of which is "For those who survived in the 90s " - speaks for itself.

Hero of Sergei Makovetsky -Nizhny Novgorod bandit - "foreman". Together with his two partners, Bala and Eggplant, he gets involved in a heroin adventure orchestrated by the corrupt senior police lieutenant Stepan, for which they will all eventually pay with their lives…

For Makovetsky, the role of the Crown has become one of the most extraordinary in his entire film career. He had never played anyone like this before.

Liquidation

This popular 2007 detective action television series, based on real events, tells about rampant crime in post-war Odessa. In the film "Liquidation", Makovetsky brilliantly played the image of Fima, a semi-Jew, in the civilized life of Efim Arkadyevich Petrov, a former pickpocket, and now a friend of the main character of the film, Lieutenant Colonel David Markovich Gotsman.

Fima performed by Makovetsky turned out to be absolutely charming and real. The actor so brilliantly embodied in the image of his hero all the Odessa flavor and Jewish charisma that it is simply impossible to imagine any other, even a very famous actor in his place. What are only the brilliant phrases and dialogues of Fima performed by the actor:

- David Gotsman, go throw your head in the manure! I do not know you! I'm not interested in walking with you along the same Odessa!

- Fima, you are talking insultingly…

12

In Nikita Mikhalkov's absolute masterpiece "12", presented to the audience in the same 2007, Sergey Makovetsky performed a brightthe role of the first juror - a physicist working as a representative of a foreign company.

The plot of this remarkable film is the process of deciding by twelve jurors, complete strangers, locked in a room, the guilt or innocence of a Chechen youth who is charged with the murder of his Russian officer stepfather.

An interesting and unique fact of "12" is the ten-minute monologue uttered by Makovetsky's hero, which was filmed in one take, without a single cut.

It is absolutely impossible to convey in words this piece of cinematography. Must watch…

Pop

One of the many films starring Makovetsky was the military drama "Pop", released in 2010. In this tape, the actor masterfully played the role of Father Alexander Ionin, who served as rector in the parish of a small village in the Pskov region.

In June 1941, the village was occupied by the Nazis, and Father Alexander was overtaken by an unexpected mission to revive the faith of the Soviet people, conceived by the Nazis in order to impose their own power. And pop Alexander finds himself at a crossroads of choice between betrayal of the Motherland and betrayal of his own faith…

Quiet Flows the Don

His native land is bursting at the seams, torn apart by hatred and fratricidal war, and the whole Melekhov family finds itself in the cycle of terrible events of the new time…

The dramatic film "Quiet Don" of 2015 became the brightest reflection of the history of the country at the beginning of the 20th century and did not leave any viewer indifferent.

In the 2017 two-part detective film Acquaintance, Sergei Makovetsky played the dramatic role of a disabled father, torn between two sons, the beloved of whom is already dead, and he prefers not to communicate with the living.

The final monologue of the hero Makovetsky is noteworthy, in which his true attitude towards his heirs is revealed: at first, he did not want to have children at all, he was subsequently forced to oppress one of them, as he says, "for reasons of justice." At the same time, the same son who was oppressed by him actuallyhas always been the most beloved…

One of Makovetsky's new works, the 2017 film Acquaintance is definitely worth watching.

Bad weather

At the heart of this dramatic detective story, which reveals the story of finding their place in life by "Afghan" soldiers who returned home in the 90s, is the novel of the same name by Alexei Ivanov. Recent soldiers who shed blood for the honor of the Motherland in distant and alien Afghanistan turned out to be of no use to anyone and now they can only trust each other. And, as it turned out, not always…

The image of the on-screen hero Makovetsky symbolizes the 90s themselves, when a new one was built on the ruins of one country and that invisible, but already dried up "glue", which seemed to unite both countries forever, still did not want to come apart …

Godunov

Guessing who Makovetsky plays in the movie "Godunov" is not so easy at first. Make-up artists and costumers of the picture did their best. And if Sergei Bezrukov, who played the guardsman Godunov, can be recognized without difficulty, then the performer of the role of Tsar Ivan the Terrible is recognized only by the characteristic voice of Makovetsky, which is impossible not to recognize.

This multi-part historical drama is dedicated to one of the most difficult periods in Russian history, which spans the period from the reign of Ivan the Terrible to the establishment of the power of the Romanov dynasty. "Godunov", a film of 2018, is the revived history of our state, and all the events shown in it took place in reality.

According to viewers, Ivan the Terrible performed by Sergei Makovetsky is incredible.
