Channel One began broadcasting the Inquisitor series. Reviews about the film are positive. It does not apply to new products, since it was released back in 2014, and the inhabitants of Ukraine managed to watch it for a long time. However, the inhabitants of Russia saw the series recently. The picture belongs to the group of those films that I want to revise.
The plot of the series
Initially, the plot of the series may seem overly simple. In the small border town of Melberg in the west, Russia commits brutal murders of influential people and leaves a strange Latin message near the bodies. The killer himself gives clues as to who will be the next victim. Detective Natalia Serebryanskaya is sent from St. Petersburg as an assistant for the investigation. The detective is hired by the wife of one of the murdered men. The exciting plot attracted viewers who subsequently left positive feedback on the Inquisitor series.
Location of the series
The town where the series takes place is actually called Vyborg. Residents of this city and those who have been in the town can instantly recognize the appearance of the tower of St. Olav in the frames. The old building appeared in the series as an ancient cathedral.
The film was directed by Yuri Moroz. He said that shortly before the filming of the series, he visited Vyborg at one of the film festivals. Yuri realized that the 720-year-old city has everything in order to create a high-quality series in it. The city has ancient Gothic, ancient buildings, perfectly suited to the script. The only thing that was filmed outside the city was the airport, for the sake of which the film crew specially traveled to St. Petersburg. The reason for leaving for St. Petersburg was the complete lack of airports in Vyborg.
In addition, many stage facilities were created in the Mosfilm pavilions. Within a week, a group of decorators worked to create the place where the two most mysterious heroes of the series were, who constantly fell under suspicion of murder. This is Anton, who was recently released from prison, and the charming girl-sniper Bert. For them, specially in the depths of the forest, they put a trailer, next to which they created a pier and fenced everything so that outsiders would not get close to their housing. Beautiful scenery and an exciting storyline influenced the reviews of the Inquisitor series.
main characters
One of the main roles of the picture went to the wife of the director Victoria Isakova. The actress is known for her roles in the films Ostrov (2006), Solntsekrug (2010) and Optimists (2017). In the reviews of the Inquisitor series, they discussed not only an interesting plot, they also touched upon the wonderful actress game. Naturally, at first you might think that the actress got the role of "acquaintance", but this is not so. Victoria, like everyone else, was casting, and she was the only one who managed to perfectly fit into the image of the fatal detective. In addition, in exactly the same way, the role of Kira went to the director’s daughter, Daria Moroz. No less famous actor Alexander Lykov in a multi-part project appeared in the image of detective Gerashchenko, who was investigating a series of murders in Melberg. The acting was also praised in the Inquisitor reviews.
Character Stolz
Andrei Smolyakov played the role of a drug dealer whose last name is Stolz. By the way, Smolyakov over the years has better integrated into the image of criminals. Take, for example, his role as a boxer in the film "Thin thing" or the film "Bourgeois's Birthday", where the actor appeared in front of viewers in the form of Kudla. The image of Stolz in the TV series “Inquisitor” resembles a matured Kudlu, only several times richer and smarter.
Character Egor Swenson
Another image that turned out to be unforgettable went to Konstantin Lavronenko. He is the restorer of the temple, which begins a romantic relationship with Serebryanskaya. The actor-performer is the winner of the Cannes Film Festival award in the nomination "Best Actor" in the TV series "Exile" in 2007. Largely thanks to the magnificent game of Konstantin, we managed to get positive feedback from the Inquisitor series. In 2018 (August 1), his show started on Channel One.
Image of Victoria Isakova in the film
To fully match the prototype, Victoria Isakova was forced to cut her curls. By the way, the actress had long wanted to change her hairstyle, but there was no good reason for this. Fortunately for Isakova, this time has come. It was originally planned to make a short haircut, but then it was decided to preserve the feminine image of the detective. As for the scenes where Victoria fights, they simply were absent. For this reason, special training for the role of detective was not required. However, the actress had to take a car driving course so that she coped with the action scenes where her heroine is driving a car. With the task set for her, the actress did an excellent job.
Reviews about the Inquisitor series
As for the continuation of the series, information on this issue is not yet available. It is possible that after the end of the first season, in which 12 episodes, the filmmakers will begin to work on the second. Most likely, the continuation will be connected with the investigation of other cases, where the same actors will take part as in the first season.
This year the series was shown in Russia. Reviews of the Inquisitor series testify to the success of the film. Viewers and fans of the television movie claim that the series attracts with its mystery and surprise. Each series carries a mystical and gothic atmosphere, which makes the picture quite high ratings. The average score of the series in Russia is 8, and among Ukrainian viewers is estimated at 9 points. You can immediately note the professionalism of the film crew, which took into account even the details that are insignificant for a multi-series project, which had a positive effect on the series.
