The film "Cargo 200": actors and roles

In 2006, Alexei Balabanov wrote the script for the future film "Cargo 200". Actors to choose the main roles was not easy. The director received a lot of failures. This is not surprising. None of Balabanov's films caused so many angry reviews, as the thriller "Gruz 200" released on screens in 2007. Actors and roles are presented in the article.

The plot of this film tells about the cruel customs that reigned at the end of the Soviet era, and is based, according to the statement of its creators, on real events. However, critics point to some plot lines, which the script writer allegedly borrowed from the work "Sanctuary" by W. Faulkner.

Agniya Kuznetsova

In a small town the daughter of the secretary of the district party committee goes to a disco, and then disappears. During the investigation, no witnesses can be found. The terrible fate of the heroine of the picture of Balabanov is known to everyone who watched the film ...

Agnia Kuznetsova performed the main female role in the film "Cargo 200". Actors Mironov and Makovetsky had to play in the picture. At least the director hoped. Perhaps, that is why the young actress agreed to the role of Angelica. However, venerable artists, having studied the script, flatly refused.

Kuznetsova after the release of the picture became famous. How did her participation in filming the movie "Gruz 200" affect her career? The role of actors often have a disastrous effect. And this is not about superstition. After a well-played role, an image is fixed to the actor, from which it is not easy to get rid of. A similar fate passed over Agnia. In her filmography today, more than forty works. Among them, roles in films in the genre of noir, and in melodramas.

Alexey Poluyan

The girl is kidnapped by a maniac, who has a very sophisticated passion for cruelty and a sick imagination. To help the girl could come her father or her lover, who at that time was in Afghanistan and had to return from day to day. The father turned out to be a very unreliable assistant, and the bridegroom returned to the zinc coffin. Hence the name of the film - "Cargo 200".

Actors, as already said, the director was difficult to pick. Balabanov dreamed that Zhurov's maniac would be played by none other than Yevgeny Mironov. This actor has a multifaceted talent. In his record of which only kinopersonazhey not. Including the serial killer ("Snake source"). However, Mironov did not like the scenario of Balabanov. The director had to look for another performer.

Zhurov played less talented, but more accommodating Alexei Poluyan. In 1997, the actor played in the film "Brother" Balabanov. In the movie Poluyan was accidentally. On the street, a young man was approached by a director and invited to take samples. Then Poluyan was confirmed for the role in the film "The Boys". He subsequently became an actor quite in demand, although he played mostly secondary characters. In 2010, the performer of the role of Zhurov passed away.

Leonid Gromov

The plot of the movie "Cargo 200" is filled with brutal events. Actor Sergei Makovetsky, after reading it, not only refused to shoot, but also advised the director to refrain from creating such a picture. The role of Artem Balabanov was given to Leonid Gromov. Makovetsky, despite his refusal to shoot, voiced Professor Kazakov. However, it should be said that this hero is not present in the terrible scenes of violence with which the film is filled. There are reasons to believe that Gromov was better able to cope with his role than Poluyanu or Kuznetsova.

Alexey Serebryakov

The actor for the role of Alexei Belov was awarded the "Nika" award. The hero of Serebryakov becomes another victim of Zhurov. Belova is accused of murder, which the police captain actually committed, and sentenced to death.

Alexey's wife was played by Natalia Akimova. The filmography of this actress contains a few roles. She played in such films as "Mirror for the Hero," "Russian Symphony," "The Fall of the Empire," "Evening Bells."

Alexander Bashirov

Bashirov played an unnamed alcoholic in the film "Cargo 200". Actor to shoot in the picture Balabanova agreed immediately. Alexander Bashirov is a popular Russian actor and director. He has many roles on his account, but not a single one. Such is his type. One of the most striking films in the performance of Bashirov is Bulgakov's Behemoth.
