In the wake of the popularity of Turkish melodramas appearance of Russian series about Turkey it was only a matter of time, and this time has come: on the screens out "Yasmin" - joint work of directors Xenia Zarutsky and Vyacheslav Kaminsky.

Three destinies

Fate decreed that three Russians acquainted in Istanbul. Xenia (Yekaterina Radchenko) came to the beloved, but quickly realized that turned out to be a hoax reciprocal feelings. Masha (Natalia Dvoretskaya) runs away from Russia because of a quarrel with his sister and her husband. Lena (Katerina Krupenina) goes on a business trip to Turkey, planning to realize themselves in the hotel business.

For various reasons, women are not in a hurry to leave the foreign country, and gradually grow roots acquire acquaintances in a crowded, popular tourist area of ​​the capital (the prototype of which was the real Sultan Ahmet). Istanbul becomes a challenge and at the same time, an incredible adventure, to which Russia would not dare neither heroines. When the hotel gets murdered, the spiral of events begins to spin on its own, and the mystery of the recent past affects everyone.

Looking East

The plot of the series "Yasmin" is close to the typical history of the conquest of Moscow girls from the provinces, only as a dream city serves Turkish Istanbul. Writers Project and Anna Kozlova Larisa Stepanova, briefly wondering wrote typical female detective novel with the elements, add the characters with a strong ethnic flavor, and the story has developed. Novelty secondary from the beginning to the end of the story adds an exotic locale.

Istanbul, recreated hands painters and decorators in the pavilions "Mosfilm" has little to do with the present developed tourist town, how it can be seen today. The scenery there is an attempt to catch and bring an authentic oriental spirit, but everything was done carelessly and, most importantly, economically and ugly.

Unreal Istanbul can be explained by the high cost of filming on location, and the artist, but the explanation of why, instead of on-screen sounds of Turkish Tatar Muslims and suddenly begin to have a positive attitude to pork Pork - meat guide No, there is no logical justification for other substantive errors overflowing series. Dive into this to whip up a story you do not want.

Try not to torture

"Yasmin" filmed in two co-directors Xenia Zarutsky and Vyacheslav Kaminsky. Zarutsky in the field of series rookie, Kaminsky is only known work on the detective drama "grouse". Filming serialized melodrama for both of them new. The series is made with the general idea of ​​how should look like this or that scene, there is a sequence worked receptions or explicit route set pieces. From the first frame, "Yasmin" is supplied as pure female melodrama, which somehow interfere detective and comedy elements.

The show was invited to a lot of interesting young actors. Natalia Dvoretskaya plays Masha, pugnacious and sincere, sharp-tongued, lonely and looking for understanding girl. Character Dvoretskaya harder and deeper than she was able to show on the screen. Masha is perhaps the main active force of the entire series, but can only wring his hands and frowning with or without cause. External appeal heroine smoothes the unpleasant impression of awkward attempts to image the emotions, but Masha is an empty shell.

Ekaterina Radchenko in the role of simpleton province Susie feels like a fish in water. It is lively and sincere acts out the role of the second plan, forgetting that this time her character among the top and lost against the background of colleagues. Katerina Krupenina, who played Lena, trying to remember about acting and added his heroine character, but her game is not unison, but because Lena is much better than a cardboard picture of Masha.

The series also stars: Huseyin Dilber, Ilgar Musayev, Shahmar Garibov, Farhad Huseynov, Vitaly Kudryavtsev, Anna Masalskaya, Nick Balin, Amalia Panahov, Christina Kucherenko, Catherine Miller, Aslyhan Chokbasharan Denis Zharikov Alexander Aleshkin, Nafisa Khairullina,

"Yasmin" was conceived as a large-scale project, and hopefully a big two hundred episodes, but the audience did not like it. Low ratings reduced the order to 62 episodes. Already uneven plot to tear rolled down the drama, and a hasty final ruined any positive impression, which could occur during browsing.
