How did I get to the Moscow theater

The creative path of Cyril Pletnev is full of bends and steep turns. After school, he entered the St. Petersburg Theater Academy, but after graduation he went to Moscow. The fact is that the theaters of Dodin, Spivak, about which Pletnev dreamed, did not perform a set of actors in their troupes that year. The young man was forced to seek happiness in the capital. Three theater - the theater of the Modern play, the theater under the direction of Kalyagin and the theater of Armen Dzhigarkhanyan - opened their doors to the beginning actor. 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 realized that you can not retreat without starting.

First, the actor lived with relatives, then rented an apartment, later bought his own home. One day the moment came when everything had settled down, life had come to a normal course, Pletnev Got used to the bustling Moscow, but he still believes that the smaller is in the metropolis, the better it feels.

Kirill Pletnev: the main roles in the cinema

In parallel to work in the theater, Kirill Pletnev acted in film - he worked a lot and the results of his work can be called very successful. In the track record of the artist more than 60 roles. And, I must say, Pletnev was always able to select competently the working material, intuitively felt where to act and when to leave the series correctly.

His most famous works rightfully can 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 hackster Sinkov in the merry picture "Love-carrot-2", etc.

Of course, the lion's share of the roles in the movies created by Pletnev are images of military heroes, which the actor is already slightly fed up with. He says that he likes to play character characters. Fortunately, today Pletnev has the opportunity to choose, to work in a painting or to abandon it. The artist can also bring his own role to the role, unless, of course, the writer or director is not against it.

Naturally, he is recognized on the streets, he is popular with the viewer, but Pletnev's popularity often hinders. The actor tries to avoid unnecessary acquaintances and harassment on the street with conversations, etc. In one, he sure is sure: you can not calm down and stop at what has been achieved. At a time when it seems that everything is good, the main thing is to understand that this is a false sensation.

Leaving the theater

By the way, the profession of the actor at first Pletneva was not very enthusiastic. He always wanted to lead the process, but on the advice of the director from St. Petersburg, Grigory Kozlov, who recommended a little "to grow up," decided first to master the basics of the artist's work, and only then to engage in directorial activities.

In the troupe of the theater Armen Dzhigarkhanyan Pletnev did not "sit on the bench". In his biography were the main roles, for example, he was engaged in the performances "Mad Day, or The Marriage of Figaro", "The Tales of the Scientist Cat", "The Inspector General". Interesting work, however, did not help build a literate relationship with the theater management. According to Pletnev, Armen Jigarkhanyan is a brilliant artist, which in the world is a unit, but he does not manage to lead the creative process. He does not know how, according to the artist, to choose directors for his performances. Once on this ground a conflict arose - Pletnev refused to play in a "bad" performance. At some point in the relationship between the actor and the leader there was a serious discord, and Pletnev left, although often in an interview he says that he was kicked out of the theater.

According to the artist, when he first came to the theater, he immediately felt a kind of dissonance: at the institute they were taught to another, to that to real practice had little to do with. Something did not coalesce, the general picture did not appear. Acting activities are less attractive. Pletnev Kirill felt that a creative crisis is brewing .

Directing practice

Clear understanding that you want to change something in the profession, came to Cyril Pletnev not immediately. Curiosity towards cinema began to emerge on the shooting of paintings "Saboteur", "Admiral". Pletnev followed the creative process and realized that he would be interested in managing everything that happens, because the director's activities are endless possibilities for self-expression. Finally, Pletnev's cooperation with the talented film director Konstantin Khudyakov helped to make sure of his desires. According to the actor, Konstantin Pavlovich - one of the few who respects the artist, feels it. Analyzing the work of the director, Pletnev discovered that in the film it does not all depend on the actor. An image can also be created by mounting.

In 2003, Pletnev began to cooperate with another interesting in every sense, the director - Irina Keruchenko. According to Cyril, the theater that Irina Viljamovna does is a situation where an actor can rehearse what he likes, not what he is being forced to do. Pletnev is close to what Irina is doing, the psychological theater is his ideal. The artist admits that it is easy for him to find a common language with the director - with Keruchenko it's simple, easy and interesting.

"Nastya" is a laureate of "Kinotavr"

Kirill Pletnev, whose filmography includes three own short films ("Dog and Heart", "6:23", "Nastya"), begins to gain popularity as a talented director. In 2015, at the Kinotavr Film Festival in Sochi, his film "Nastya" was awarded a Grand Prix in the category "Short Film". According to the very beginning director, the film turned out good. Although Pletnev did not expect luck to turn to face him. After all, in the contest you can never know for sure that it "shoots", 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 - it does not have intricate curves, interlacing of plot lines, 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 difficult than them. In addition, Konstantin Khudyakov, whom Cyril highly respects, once said to the beginning director: "A lot of bloopers in the plot of the picture - this is not a sign of its quality. Many directors of this technique simply drape their inability, encrypt the emptiness. This is not your case. "

Life principles

Today, Kirill Pletnev, 35, 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, successful in all respects. There has been a global rethinking of the internal state and values of life. The artist engaged in meditation, changed his views on people and himself, reconsidered the human relationship as a whole. Pletnev understood for himself that society is not organized correctly: a person always has someone to do, always to blame for someone. He thinks about what and about anyone, not about himself. And you need to love yourself in the first place, because otherwise you live the life of other people, and your own pushed to the last place.

It is necessary to learn to say the word "no" when necessary. It is important to try to become happy in spite of circumstances and some life situations, it is important to be able to bring everything to the end. You can not give up, even when there is no clearance and it seems that nothing will turn out. Often, having passed many trials, when the goal remains several steps, the person for some reason folds. And this is wrong. This is what Kirill used to teach his mother when he was a child.
