Promote the new series by Alexander Kott "Pechorin" I looked with a fair amount of neglect and anticipation emergency venomous criticism. Still would: screen version of the classic - a thankless task, especially such a complex It works as a "hero of our time." Especially - such a complex character as Pechorin, multi-faceted personality, controversial and, whatever you say, a cult.

However, it turned out that "Petchorin" - One of the best series over the last few years. And this film adaptation - by far the best of those that came before. I recall that the first was Nikolai Pechorin Prozorovsky. This was in the era of silent films and the actor had serious try without words to express all the emotional throwing hero. In the middle Century released a new film adaptation, starring - Anatoly Verbitsky, his hero turned out to be suicidal temperament, looked askance, and seemed only I am waiting for a stray bullet. Pechorin by Vladimir Ivashov turned boys passionate and romantic, but the public was received with indifference. But most sad Lermontov's hero turned out at all adored Union Oleg Dal. However, the actor himself was prone to depression's relentless Depression   and incessant waiting for death.

Igor Petrenko Pechorin really get. Not "Knight Sorrowful Countenance "Soviet poshiba, but it is a moral maximalist who He lives excitedly, hungry for new experiences and risky adventures. Here are just a bad luck - all of these jumps above his own head did not please him, dispel boredom is only for a moment and make again and again in the quadrille vytantsovyvaetsya knife edge. Therein lies the tragedy of Pechorin, it could, in my opinion, brilliant pass Igor Petrenko.

Pechorin in his performance - a definite dude. He famously jumps on horseback, admiring his own story, trying Circassian shape and the tip of mirror. Sterling foppery he can change the world, put it at the feet of barely interested person and rode away on a black stallion. This hero our time knows how to impress. It is interesting, it is "animated", he no recalls boring literature classes in high school.

That director Alexander Kott said in an interview: "I do not agree with the school feeding Petchorin stereotype - say, suffering, torments man. In my kinovariante is an adventurous young man, who wants to live to the fullest. " And it is the subjective perception of the literary Hero still has the same right to life as the perception Oleg Dal, which became classic. Fortunately, if the audience does not like the moral maximalist in modern version, he can always see the screen version of 1975 release and did enjoy a bleak existence Ensign Pechorin.

From the first series it was possible to predict what the critics seriously touches Grigory relation to the female sex. Like Don Juan, not Pechorin. Yes, Petrenko hundredfold tempting him predecessor Oleg Dal. He generously gave the series as unobtrusive sexuality many can not be traced in any other of his paintings. But it is clear at once - Igor Petrenko image Pechorin dear and close, the actor did not sleep nights, thinking the role and got down to business, collecting all his charm.

Besides, Pechorin, Lermontov as well as in respect of the ladies really showed rare cynicism. Pechorin all her short life insistently she wants to be loved. Secular young ladies, young vestal, married ladies and "savage", in his own words. He satiated love someone else, instead of giving only a tiny part of yourself, and easily detached. So all issues relating to cynicism - Mikhail Lermontov.

Also murmur caused the violation of the composition of the novel - As is known, Lermontov broken chronology, that the disclosure of the image Pechorin It occurred gradually. But the film - still not literature. The show runs in the order in which they are provided by the author would have caused a slight confusion. K Moreover, the film crew and so deserves applause for what is not retreating from the story one iota. Not for the sake of ratings or in favor today's youth. Despite this the authors of the series once again proved that the image This is understandable and interesting character at all times. Whatever spoke textbooks Literature ...
