Who at least once in his life did not dream to go in search of treasures? Stories on this adventurous adventure theme have always been and will be enjoyed by the public. Moreover, if the retelling of these stories fit, as they say, with a soul. This is exactly what the film “Count of Montenegro” turned out to be - light, adventurous, romantic and, as they say, “the very thing” for family viewing.
About the plot
All events revolve around an old map, which at the beginning of the 19th century accidentally fell into the hands of a beautiful actress. According to legend, the map indicates the place in which Prince Miloradovich hid his treasures. But, having survived to this day, the card was partially corrupted due to careless storage, and all key parts were lost.
However, not wanting to just give up, the great-grandson of the actress decides to find the descendant of the count himself, hoping to get his support. But he suddenly refuses the young treasure hunter. Upon returning home, a frustrated young man suddenly discovers that the card mysteriously disappeared ...
The first on suspicion was a descendant of the count. This means that he needs to be monitored, which will subsequently lead him aboard an airplane flying to Montenegro. During the flight, adventurers still decide to unite. Arriving at the place, they hire the local beauty Slavka as guides, and the three of them go on an expedition.
But if everything was so simple in the movie "Count of Montenegro" (the actors in which are simply pleasing to the eye), then it would not be interesting! It turns out that the priest also claims for treasures - Father Sergius, who for some reason decided that he needed them. And then some armed people appeared on the horizon ...
"Count Montenegro": actors and roles
The role of the young treasure seeker went to Alexei Chadov (“War”, “At an unnamed height”, “Love in the big city”). A young talented actor was able to charm everyone at the casting. And as Marina Migunova (director) later admitted, he “blended” so much with his character that during the filming he was able to bring him to the forefront.
Another main character, a descendant of Miloradovich, was played by Alexander Domogarov, who does not need extra ideas. We only recall that he played in such films and television films as: “With Fire and Sword”, “Countess de Monsoro”, “Indie”, “Turkish March”, “Dostoevsky”. The actor is a universally recognized favorite of a female audience and a sex symbol for more than one decade.
The female role (Slavka) went to Evgenia Khirivskaya, now better known under the pseudonym Brik. The actress starred in the films “Geographer drank the globe”, “Northern Lights”, “Thaw”. Note that the director of the series "Thaw", Valery Todorovsky, is the wife of Eugenia.
And the negative role of father Sergius was played by the notorious actor Viktor Bychkov. The character is a bit like Father Fyodor from "12 Chairs", but this is only at first. Rather, it is a slight nod as a sign of respect for the classics. Victor is known for his paintings “Cuckoo”, “Features of national hunting (politics, fishing)”, “Four taxi drivers and a dog”, etc.
Another full member of the picture
Here I would like to dwell on another very important "participant" in the action "Count Montenegro" (the actors who performed the main roles, it is worth noting, worked with pleasure). This is the picturesque nature of Montenegro, because the film was completely shot in kind. Vadim Mikhalev and Vadim Mikhailov worked on the script . And the directors were Marina Migunova and Tatyana Makovchik. And they can be thanked for perfectly selected locations (in particular, the island of St. Stephen and the Bay of Kotor).
And although Montenegro is rightfully considered a mountainous country, unfortunately, there are very few of the latter in the frame. And preferences are given mainly in the coastal zone. However, despite this, the film still turned out to be surprisingly colorful, and the landscapes just caress the eye. And real Montenegrin musical melodies aggravate this aesthetic pleasure.
Cinema for the whole family
If you want to relax after a busy day and relax with your family, spending time watching a light family movie - feel free to turn on the movie “Count Montenegro”. Actors, wonderful nature and music will allow you to plunge into the world of adventure, treasure hunting and, of course, love. After all, each of us seeks and finds his treasure.
