Anna Melikyan in 2015 directed the romantic comedy film almanac "About Love" packed full of movie stars. The film was highly acclaimed by film critics and won many prestigious awards. Therefore, it is not surprising that two years later its sequel appeared, which is an almanac of five romantic stories, on which six directors worked under the vigilant guidance of Anna Melikyan. In the film "About Love" (2017), actors D. Malkovich, I. Dapkunaite, G. Kutsenko, F. Bondarchuk will demonstrate to the public the meaning of the film's sub title - "Only for adults".
In comparison
As in the original film, the narration of the 2017 movie is framed and linked into a single story with an open lecture on the psychological characteristics of love, which is listened to by almost all participants in the events. Moreover, each of the short stories in the almanac “About love. Adults Only” is stand-alone, they can be shown to the public as separate short films. According tocritics' verdict, the sequel is more superficial and primitive than the previous picture, which told intriguing and original stories. According to their authoritative opinion, only the fourth short story, directed by Yevgeny Shelyakin, can be called unpredictable in the almanac of 2017. Although in the film "About Love" (2017), the actors involved are exclusively stellar.
Not childish games
The actors of the film "About Love" (2017) told the viewer a story similar to the beginning of the 2015 tape. But this time, a foreign professor (John Malkovich) came to entertain the metropolitan audience with a lecture on platonic love and sex. Many lovers of Belokamennaya gathered to listen to him. For example, a police officer (Ravshana Kurkova) brought up in puritanical rigor, who accidentally starts an affair with a stranger (Alexander Pal). Or the self-satisfied leading actor of the Russian film industry (Maxim Matveev), whose genetic material is wanted by a we althy childless couple (V. Isakova and F. Bondarchuk). Here, a couple (Fyodor Lavrov and Anna Mikhalkova), who have been tired of 15 years of marriage, listen to the story and decide to try their hand at swinging with a younger couple, played by the actors of the film “About Love” (2017) L. Ilyashenko and V. Yaglych. It will not do without a heroine with problems of puberty (Yasmina Omerovich), who is trying to get rid of her virginity, resorting to the help of her father's friend (Gosha Kutsenko). But in the end, everything will end well for everyone.
Minor indominant
Happy ending typical for four short stories in the elegiac fifth story will be overshadowed by the dominance of minority. The main protagonist of the final almanac of the episode is John Malkovich himself, who does an excellent job of depicting the mental anguish of a spouse who is ready to cheat on his wife, while not ready to come to terms with her possible adultery. This is the third project on the set of which Malkovich and Ingeborga Dapkunaite meet and interact. These actors of the film "About Love" (2017) starred in foreign projects "Step by Step" and "Shadow of the Vampire".
