The biography of the master can tell us a lot about his amazing nature, thanks to a whole galaxy of interesting facts, episodes, events that filled his life. I want to tell you about this legendary person, referring to the filmography of the actor. Indeed, in many respects the fate and life path of the artist is determined precisely by his role on the stage of the theater and in the cinema.
Alexander Abdulov: filmography of the actor
The track record of the artist has many excellent works. Among them, the following can be distinguished with confidence.
"Ordinary Miracle"
Actor Alexander Abdulov was born into a creative family, so the further fate of the boy was almost predetermined. He first got acquainted with the scene at the age of five, but really felt the charm of creative life at a more conscious age. In the second half of the 1970s, Abdulov began to act in films. The first notable role, after which the actor began to be recognized on the street, is the bewitched Bear in the film by Mark Anatolyevich Zakharov “Ordinary Miracle”. Abdulov was especially good at images of positive and romantic heroes.
"Do not part with your loved ones"
In the late 1970s, the picture of another remarkable director, Pavel Oganezovich Arsenov, “Do not part with your loved ones,” where the actor plays the main male role, was released. He plays a duet with his wife - Irina Ivanovna Alferova. According to the plot, the heroes of wonderful actors are going through a difficult period in their relationship, painfully overcome the hardships of jealousy, separation and misunderstanding. Ironically, it so coincided that the most beautiful couple actually experienced not the best times in their family life during this filming.
"Carnival"
The actor passed his every role through himself, so he managed to make them all exceptional and memorable. Among such roles, one can distinguish the image of the spoiled guy Nikita from the Tatyana Lioznova film "Carnival" (1981).
The major boy is accustomed to not denying anything to himself, to be in the center of attention of girls, to live for his own sake, and even the appearance in his life of a good girl Nina Salamatina (Irina Muravyova) does not change anything in the guy’s mindset. I must admit that Alexander Abdulov’s negative characters turned out to play no worse, because even after such roles, the audience did not stop admiring the actor and selflessly loving him.
"Wizards"
Truly vivid and unforgettable for the audience was the role of Vanya Pukhov in the New Year's musical comedy “Wizards”. Abdulov’s partner in the film and the lover of the plot was charming Alexandra Yakovleva. Despite the fact that, in addition to this picture, the actor was simultaneously involved in four more films, the artist worked on the musical fairy tale very easily and actively. Actress Anna Ashimova, who played the role of the little sister of the protagonist, recalls that he constantly joked, joked and cheered the entire crew, and also entertained and played the entire magnificent cast.
"Genius"
1991 year. The collapse of the USSR, changes, a change of power, prospects are vague, and people have a very vague idea of the future. It was at such a time that the film “Genius” appeared on the screens, which makes a lasting impression on the Russian audience, since the director raised a burning problem - how to live on? Alexander Abdulov masterly played the main character Sergei Nenashev - a capable inventor, forced to take the wrong path of a fraudster.
"Love Formula"
Films with Alexander Abdulov were not always remembered by the viewer for his main roles. Often, playing a supporting character, the actor could present his image so distinctively that people began to quote him. Such examples include the film “Formula of Love” by M. Zakharov, where he played Jacob, a curly coachman and assistant to the Count Count Cagliostro himself. His glorious song “Uno Momento” every time involuntarily pops up in his memory when it comes to this picture.
"The most charming and attractive"
The next role of the handsome man went to Abdulov in the film “The Most Charming and Attractive”, where he again plays with Irina Muravyeva. This was one of the favorite roles of not only numerous fans of the artist, but also of the artist himself.
"Midshipmen"
A special pride in the minds and souls of the Russian audience is caused by the film Svetlana Sergeevna Druzhinina "Midshipmen, go!" Fortunately, the actor Alexander Abdulov also contributed to this amazing picture, he played Count Vasily Fedorovich Lyadashchev. The role was small, but the actor surprisingly accurately managed to convey the image of a man who is in the service of the secret chancellery, a member of the circle of people close to the empress, and who is directly involved in the events of palace coups and intrigues.
"The same Munchausen"
The melodic story “The Same Munchausen”, based on the plot of the famous book of Rudolf Erich Raspe, allowed Abdulov to try himself as a lawyer. The actor was not immediately approved for the role of Rumpkopf. Together with him, the candidacy of the actor of the Moscow Art Theater Sergey Kolesnikov was still considered. But in the end, by a majority of votes, it was decided to give this role to Alexander Abdulov. The film was shot in a dull atmosphere, something constantly happened to the artist. First, he broke his finger after an unsuccessful attempt to measure strength with a German stuntman. He later injured his leg by jumping from a high fence without safety against the side of a professional.
"The Master and Margarita"
The most successful actor’s works include the role of Koroviev in the film adaptation of Bulgakov’s famous book “The Master and Margarita”. Abdulov himself spoke of this role as follows: “Yes, I am the perfect Koroviev! It’s just my millionth percent role. Koroviev - a sorcerer, magician, virtuoso, professional ... Such an incredible amount of him has something to play! And you don’t have to invent anything: the author composed everything for you. And the finale! Koroviev - the engine, brains, humor of the entire Woland team. ”
