“Pokrovsky Gate” 1982 will be shown for the first time in cinemas

A real breakthrough in the world of cinema is waiting for a wide audience in early September. The legendary Soviet film from 40 years ago will now be shown on the big screen in a restored 4K format. As many as two series can be revised with exactly the same sound and the same colorfulness as they were in 1982 in the idea of Mikhail Kozakov.



“Pokrovsky Gate”, the film of 1982 The scriptwriter Leonid Zorin described his Moscow life of the late 50s of the last century. At that time he came from Baku and settled. communal. Many characters are drawn from the real life of the writer. In the film-memories filmed little-known then artists. The legendary songs are sung by Bulat Okudzhava himself.

Like Nikita Mikhalkov, she refused to star in the film, because the script seemed uninteresting to her, and the humor is strained. But to take up the work of the actress still persuaded her mother, Natalia Koreneva, who worked as a second director.



Naive and dreamy nurse Lyudochka turned out to be her hurrah. However, soon Koreneva emigrated to America, which spoiled her reputation not only for herself. Kozakov in a rage composed a poem on this occasion: “I sweated all year long – the artist Korenev, frya, gave me an enema...” The film was pushed away on the shelf.

Leonid Bronevoy was known as the Muller of Seventeen Moments of Spring. His Velurov, a pop singer, is seriously sitting on a glass (“And who doesn’t drink?”). Name it! No, I'm waiting!), although he's actually pretty and touching. After the Sveta swimmer does not reciprocate, Velyurov falls into a creative crisis. When there was an anti-alcohol campaign in the country, scenes with glasses were ruthlessly cut out of the film.



Before the role of Margarita Pavlovna Khobotova in the filmography of Inna there was only one role, but what! Everyone remembers the lady boozy with a fox from Seventeen Moments of Spring. But “Pokrovsky Gate” opened the Ulyanovsk way to Soviet superstars, she was noticed and began to be invited to the movies. Kozakov saved drowning in oblivion actress. On this occasion, after the filming of “Pokrovsky Gate” Inna Ulyanova gave the director a medal "For saving the drowning.".



After the release of the picture, Oleg Menshikov woke up not only famous, but also a favorite of the ladies of the 80s. Zorin recalled: “It took a minute to realize that he was the one he dreamed of!” He was still a student and exuded the festive humor of spring age.” By the way, Menshikov himself admitted 25 years later that he thought he was playing Kozakov, not Zorin. After all, he at the end of the picture plays the “aged Kostic”.



"Just a great movie," 50+ viewers will say. Under the songs of Bulat Okudzhava and Isaac Dunaevsky passed their childhood and carefree youth. Disassembled for quotes and carefully stored in memory. Interestingly, the art councils of different times and then cut out of the picture some apt expressions. You see, he is not a Soviet man to use "still life", "ferstein" and sing "Rosamund". But later everything was returned to its place.



If someone has not yet realized this news, we remind you that the premiere is the first demonstration of the film on the screen. For many years, Pokrovsky Gate was broadcast only on Central Television. As they say, we waited.

By the way, this is not the first mothball film in the movie distribution. In the spring of this year, an equally significant show of “Brother” and “Brother-1” directed by Alexei Balabanov died out. Now, with new technologies, the premieres will not end.
