Pletnev Kirill Vladimirovich - theater and film actor, Russian film director, member of the Expert Council of the All-Russian open competition "Film Appeal". Ambitious, independent, his creative biography is full of interesting facts. He can easily reveal to the interlocutor the secrets of his success in the profession. However, Kirill Pletnev is reluctant to share the details of his personal life with journalists. Filmography, personal dramas, the creative path of the actor - all the details in the materials of our article.

Childhood

Kirill Pletnev was born in Ukraine in December 1979, but he spent his childhood in Leningrad. He grew up there and went to school. I must say that from an early age, Cyril was a controversial child. On the one hand, he loved to read, read a lot and with interest. He was engaged in dancing, which at one time greatly contributed to Kirill's mother - she herself was a teacher in a dance studio. In general, the childhood of the future actor was inextricably linked with his mother - she was constantly present and participated in the life of her son, although Cyril was never a sissy. His character was distinguished by independence, sometimes even too pronounced.

Kirill Pletnev spent a lot of time in children's camps, which he still remembers with warmth. His life was full of events and bright colors. He was engaged in rock climbing, attended a taekwondo section, led a theater studio, and worked as an assistant cook in the kitchen. Pletnev always stood out among his peers with a pugnacious character - he was naughty, hooligan, hated football, although he studied at the school at the Zenit football club until grade 9.

Pletnev Kirill Vladimirovich did not communicate with his father for a long time - the man left the family when the boy was thirteen years old. The father and son met 17 years after the breakup, but the spiritual intimacy and warmth in their relationship did not happen. They congratulate each other on the holidays, sometimes call back, but nothing more.

How I got to the Moscow theater

The creative path of Kirill Pletnev is full of twists and turns. After school, he entered the theater academy of St. Petersburg, but after completing his studies he went to Moscow. The fact is that the theaters of Dodin, Spivak, which Pletnev dreamed about, did not recruit actors for their troupes that year. The young man was forced to seek his fortune in the capital. Three theaters opened their doors to the novice actor at once - the theater of the Modern Play, the theater under the direction of Kalyagin and the theater of Armen Dzhigarkhanyan. Pletnev chose the latter. In 2000, the actor finally moved to Moscow.

The artist admits that at first it was difficult for him in an unfamiliar city. Often he went to the station in a rush to buy a ticket and go home. But every time something stopped him. The young man understood that it was impossible to retreat without starting.

At first, the actor lived with relatives, then he rented an apartment, later he bought his own house. Once the moment came when everything calmed down, life returned to normal, Pletnev got used to the bustling Moscow, but to this day he believes that the less he is in the metropolis, the better he feels.

Kirill Pletnev: the main roles in the movie

In parallel with his work in the theater, Kirill Pletnev acted in films - he worked a lot and the results of his work can be called very successful. The track record of the artist has more than 60 roles. And, I must say, Pletnev always knew how to correctly choose working material, intuitively felt where to act and when it was right to leave the series.

His most famous works can rightfully be called the role of Sergeant Nelipa in the serial film "Soldiers", the image of Alexei Bobrikov in the film "Saboteur" and "Saboteur-2", the comic role of the rogue Sinkov in the cheerful film "Love-carrot- 2" and others

Of course, the lion's share of film roles created by Pletnev are images of military heroes, which the actor is already a little fed up with. He says he enjoys playing character characters. Fortunately, today Pletnev has the opportunity to choose whether to work in the picture or refuse it. The artist can also bring inthe role is something of its own, unless, of course, the screenwriter or director does not mind.

Speaking about filming a movie, Kirill Vladimirovich Pletnev admits that he is afraid of being stamped, and in general does not want to waste energy and time on a low-quality product, which is now very much. Naturally, he is recognized on the streets, he is popular with the viewer, but often Pletnev’s fame interferes. The artist tries to avoid unnecessary acquaintances and pestering on the street with conversations, etc. He is sure of one thing: you can’t calm down and stop there. At the moment when everything seems to be fine, the main thing is to understand that this is a false feeling.

Leaving the theater

By the way, the profession of an actor at first did not inspire Pletnev very much. He always wanted to lead the process, but on the advice of the director from St. Petersburg Grigory Kozlov, who recommended a little "grow up", he decided to first master the basics of the artist's work, and only then take up directing.

In the troupe of the theater of Armen Dzhigarkhanyan, Pletnev did not "sit on the bench." There were major roles in his biography, for example, he was busy in the performances Crazy Day, or The Marriage of Figaro, Tales of the Scientist Cat, and The Government Inspector. Interesting work, however, did not help build competent relationships with the theater management. According to Pletnev, Armen Dzhigarkhanyan is a brilliant artist, of which there are only a few in the world, but he is not good at leading the creative process. He does not know how, according to the artist, to choose directors for his performances. Once on this soil aroseconflict - Pletnev refused to play in a "bad" performance. At some point, a serious discord occurred in the relationship between the actor and the director, and Pletnev left, although he often says in interviews that he was kicked out of the theater.

According to the artist, when he first came to the theater, he immediately felt some kind of dissonance - at the institute they were taught differently, something that had little to do with real practice. Something did not grow together, the overall picture did not emerge. Acting was less and less attractive. Pletnev Kirill Vladimirovich felt that a creative crisis was brewing.

Director practice

Kirill Pletnev did not immediately realize that he wanted to change something in his profession. Curiosity for cinema began to emerge on the set of the films "Saboteur", "Admiral". Pletnev followed the creative process and understood that it would be interesting for him to manage everything that happens, because directing is an endless opportunity for self-expression. Pletnev's collaboration with the talented film director Konstantin Khudyakov helped him to finally be sure of his desires. According to the actor, Konstantin Pavlovich is one of the few who respects the artist, feels him. Analyzing the director's work, Pletnev discovered that not everything in the film depends on the actor. An image can also be created using editing.

In 2003, Pletnev began to collaborate with another interesting director in every sense - Irina Keruchenko. According to Kirill, the theater that Irina Vilyamovna makes is a situation where an actor can rehearse what he wants.likes, not what is imposed on him. Pletnev is close to what Irina does, psychological theater is his ideal. The artist admits that it is not difficult for him to find a common language with the director - it is simple, easy and interesting with Keruchenko.

"Nastya" - laureate of "Kinotavr"

Kirill Pletnev, whose filmography so far includes three of his own short films ("The Dog and the Heart", "6:23", "Nastya"), is beginning to gain popularity as a talented director. In 2015, at the Kinotavr Film Festival in Sochi, his film Nastya was awarded the Grand Prix in the Short Film nomination. According to the novice director himself, the film turned out to be good. Although Pletnev did not expect that luck would turn to face him. After all, in the competition you never know for sure what will “shoot”, and the rules of the festival are often confusing.

The plot of the film is based on real events. Nastya is a girl who worked as a postman and once decided on a crime - she stole money from pensioners and ran away with her lover. On the one hand, the picture is very simple - there are no intricate twists, interweaving of storylines, intrigue. On the other hand, the film has its own philosophy.

According to Pletnev, ordinary human stories have always been and will be of interest to the viewer, there is nothing more complicated than them. In addition, Konstantin Pavlovich Khudyakov, whom Kirill respects very much, once said to a novice director: “A lot of twists and turns in the plot of a picture is not yet a sign of its quality. Many directors simply drape with this techniquetheir inability, encrypt the emptiness. This is not your case.”

Life Principles

Today, Kirill Pletnev is 35 years old - this is the age when it is already possible to sum up some results. The actor believes that the last two years of his life is a period that is successful in all respects. There was a global rethinking of the internal state and life values. The artist took up meditation, changed his views on people and on himself, revised human relationships in general. Pletnev realized for himself that society is not organized correctly: a person always owes someone, always guilty before someone. He thinks about anything and anyone, but not about himself. And you need to love yourself first of all, because otherwise you live the life of other people, and push your own to the last place.

You need to learn how to say the word "no" when you need to. It is important to try to become happy despite the circumstances and some life situations, it is important to be able to bring everything to the end. You can’t give up, even when there is no light and it seems that nothing will work out. Often, having passed many trials, when there are a few steps left to the goal, for some reason a person gives up. And this is wrong. This is what his mother once taught Kirill as a child.

He's only four so far. He is a smart guy, very serious and reasonable.
