Alexei Serebryakov, whose filmography includes more than 100 tapes, is a fairly recognizable person in Russia. Especially after the release of the movie "Gangster Petersburg", where Serebryakov played a major role. How did the artist's career begin in the late 70s? What is he doing today?
early years
Alexei Serebryakov, whose filmography is full of remarkable films, did not dream about the profession of an actor. In fact, the movie itself chose the boy.
Alex grew up in a family that had nothing to do with cinema: his father was a military engineer, his mother was a doctor. Trying to give their child a comprehensive upbringing, the parents took Lesha to a music school, where he attended the button accordion class.
And then one day, correspondents of a well-known Moscow newspaper came to a music school to take a couple of pictures of the school principal - he was an honored artist and celebrated his anniversary. Little Lesha Serebryakov accidentally fell into the frame. And then these photos were seen by the film crew of the film “Eternal Call”, which was looking for a boy for the role of the son of the protagonist. Serebryakov was ideally suited, and soon he was already on the set of director Vladimir Krasnopolsky. So the doors to the world of big cinema were opened before Alexei.
Filmography and biography of Serebryakov Alexei. Carier start
The little boy turned out to be capable, and from now on from the directors' proposals he had no end. Nevertheless, Alexei Serebryakov, whose filmography by the time he graduated from the school had six paintings, could not enter the theater university - he was not accepted anywhere. In order not to be left without education, Alexey enters the radio and television faculty of the Energy Institute, but unexpectedly receives an offer from the Syzran Drama Theater to join their troupe. It was a great success, so Alex leaves the energy institute and accepts the invitation of the theater.
A year later, Serebryakov again tried his hand in Moscow. This time he is more lucky, and he becomes a student at the Shchepkinsky school. However, the young man's long-standing dream was to study with Oleg Tabakov, so two years later Alexei transferred to his course at GITIS.
In 86th, after receiving a diploma, Serebryakov again returned to the cinema.
Alexey Serebryakov: films. Filmography: "Fun for the Young"
At the beginning of his career, Alexei Serebryakov had few vivid and memorable films. Since the 86th, the actor has starred in a number of films that are rarely remembered by anyone now: Silent Outpost, Wedding Accused, Armchair.
In the 87th, Alexei falls into the project "Fun for the Young." The picture was shot by
Evgeny Gerasimov, and many Soviet celebrities gathered on the set:
Marina Zudina, Stanislav Lyubshin, Nina Ruslanova. Among them was Alexei Serebryakov.
The filmography of the actor will subsequently include many paintings in which Serebryakov appears with movie stars in one frame. And this time he got the role of a student who knocked out his girlfriend to fall in love with a teacher. And all this for the sake of physical education credit, which a group of students did not pass. Such a "prank" in the finals does not end well for both the girl and the teacher.
"Fan"
Actor Alexei Serebryakov, whose filmography contains many paintings in the criminal genre and action movies, in the 89th played the main role in the film “Fan”.
The plot of the picture spins around Russian karate. The main character performed by Serebryakov is called Yegor Larin, and as a teenager he began to practice karate. The young man became addicted to this martial art and, in a sense, became a master. But his ordinary life does not add up: his stepfather drives him out of the house, the criminal gang substitutes him, and Yegor ends up in a pre-trial detention center. The young man will be saved by his coach, who helps the guy to be drafted into the army. But there Yegor awaits a difficult life.
After returning from the army, Yegor becomes a participant in the fighting without rules. Naturally, every battle is accompanied by a game of sweepstakes. Such a business can hardly be called legal. Therefore, when Yegor tries to leave the fighting without rules, he does not succeed. At the end of the film, the hero Serebryakova dies.
"Afghan break"
Serebryakov Alexey Valerievich, whose filmography is replete with various kinds of dramas, starred in 1991 in yet another difficult film - “The Afghan Break”.
It’s easy to guess by the name that the main storyline in the film is the events of the war in Afghanistan. The director of the picture was the famous Vladimir Bortko, who also shot the films “Blonde around the corner”, “Dog’s heart”, the series “Idiot” and “The Master and Margarita”.
Michele Placido, the famous Italian actor who became famous for his roles in the Octopus movie series, got the lead role in The Afghan Break. The Placido company on the set was Tatyana Dogileva, Mikhail Zhigalov, Filipp Yankovsky, Nina Ruslanova and Andrey Krasko.
Serebryakov got the role of Sergeant Arsenov. The actor again had to demonstrate his knowledge of martial arts in the frame, as his character is nicknamed “Russian Rambo”.
"Gangster Petersburg"
Serebryakov Alexey Valerievich, whose filmography contains several collaborations with Vladimir Bortko, in 2000 appeared in another film of this director - “Gangster Petersburg-2”.
Serebryakov starred in the second part of the sensational film about bandits. He got one of the main roles - the lawyer Oleg Zvantsev, who, by the will of fate, turned out to be connected with the criminal world. But the main dilemma for Oleg is not even that he protects and supports criminals, but that he cannot share his beloved woman with his closest friend - Sergey Chelishchev (Dmitry Pevtsov).
Understanding the complex relationships of childhood friends is not easy, and the love triangle does not contribute to this. But the heroes of Serebryakov and Pevtsov still find the strength to forgive each other and unite against a more serious enemy - the criminal authority of Antibiotic. Unfortunately, their efforts are in vain: The antibiotic strikes first, and two friends die.
"Bayazet"
In 2003, the Bayazet television series was released, which was shot based on the novel of the same name by Valentin Pikul. And again, the main role in this historical drama went to Alexei Serebryakov.
The plot of the series revolves around a real historical event - the defense of the Bayazet fortress, which took place during the Russian-Turkish war of 1877-1878. The case is noteworthy in that the small Russian garrison managed to survive against 12 thousand Turks.
Together with Alexei Serebryakov, the film starred Olga Budina ("Zemsky Doctor"), Viktor Solovyov ("Liquidation"), Boris Khimichev ("House with Lilies"), Alexander Dyachenko ("Brother-2").
"Shtrafbat"
The filmography of Alexei Serebryakov in 2004 was replenished with another unforgettable project - the military drama “Shtrafbat”.
In terms of atmosphere and content, the film is, of course, heavy, but it leaves no one indifferent. The plot is dedicated to the military everyday life of the soldiers of the penal units who fought during the Great Patriotic War. The difficult fate of former prisoners is revealed to the audience one after another.
As for the hero Serebryakov, Tverdokhlebov began the war as a soldier in an ordinary company. But he was not lucky - his detachment was captured by the Germans and was shot. Miraculously Tverdokhlebov managed to avoid death, wounded, he crawled out of the common grave and managed to get to the front line. However, on the other side, no one was waiting for him, and they were not going to believe that he was not a traitor. So a decent man ended up in a penal battalion among criminals.
"Leviathan"
In 2014, the filmography of Aleksey Serebryakov was again enriched with social drama. This time we are talking about the painting "Leviathan".
Director Andrei Zvyagintsev raised in his picture the problem of difficult relations between man and the state. In his view, the state is a machine that destroys and exploits its own citizens. Such stars of domestic cinema as Elena Lyadova (Ashes, Elena), Vladimir Vdovichenkov (Brigade, Boomer), Roman Madyanov (Poddubny, Legend No. 17) were invited to the cast of the project.
The picture fell into the competition program of the 67th Cannes Film Festival. She was also nominated for an Oscar, a BAFTA award, and won a Golden Globe.
Alexei Serebryakov was awarded the prize of the Abu Dhabi International Film Festival and the prize of the 45th International Indian Film Festival for participating in the film. The actor was also nominated for the Golden Eagle Award.
Serebryakov Alexey Valerevich is an actor who has not been living in Russia lately. Back in 2012, he emigrated to Canada, but continues to act in Russian films.
