Russians love to watch TV shows, especially if they are really interesting and high-quality shots, and the roles are played by famous and talented actors. This article will tell about the popular TV series "The Last Cop" and where this film was shot.
The plot of the series
In 1995, policeman Alexei Divov received a heavy bullet wound while serving. A magnificent operative and an excellent husband and father fall into a coma from a gangster bullet for as many as twenty years. No one believed that he would survive: his wife Elizabeth married a second time, they forgot about him in the service.
In 2015, the operative suddenly regained consciousness. But it is very difficult for a severe police captain to adapt to modern realities. The policeman is used to fighting cool bandits with old methods, and in modern reality he feels very insecure.
However, the revived police officer is full of strength again to return to the fight against crime. However, he has a lot to learn: Alexei’s colleagues are very fluent in all modern devices, thanks to which the police manage to solve crimes. The police have now been renamed the police in a modern way, and you can contact a person on the other side of the Earth via the Internet or a touch-sensitive cell phone.
But the policeman is not used to feeling stupid than others, so modern operatives also have something to learn from him. Now the bandits should be careful: Alexey is back at his favorite job.
Gosha Kutsenko - one of the most famous actors in Russia
Gosh is the pseudonym for an actor. His real name is Yuri Georgievich Kutsenko. Parents often called their son Gosha, so Kutsenko is accustomed to be called by this name. He was born on May 20, 1967 in Zaporozhye. Gosha did not have actors in the family - his father was an official, and his mother was a doctor. Kutsenko in his youth did not even dream of becoming an actor. He never graduated from the Polytechnic Institute in the city of Lviv (Western Ukraine), as he was drafted into the army. Later he moved to Moscow with his parents, entered another higher educational institution, but he did not graduate either. The biography of the Kutsenko actor began with his admission to the Moscow Art Theater School.
The actor began to play a movie during his studies, but there were no decent roles for a long time. About ten years Kutsenko worked on one of the television channels, worked as a teacher at VGIK. In 2003, after the movie "Antikiller", fame and popularity came to the actor. In his youth, he married an actress Maria Poroshina. He lived with her for five years, has a daughter - Polina. Gosha enjoys karting, snowboarding, writes music and poetry, creates creative projects.
The role of Alexei Divov
Actor Gosha Kutsenko perfectly played the role of the brave and fearless police captain Alexei Divov. However, at first one of the most popular Russian actors categorically refused to star in the project, justifying this by the fact that he prefers not to participate in police series and films. But after he read the script, Kutsenko changed his point of view, because he was to play the role of a character who, as it were, fell out of modern realities. The last cop is one of the most interesting serial works of Kutsenko.
Actor Anatoly Rudenko
In the series, actor Anatoly Rudenko plays a colleague of Divov. Unlike Kutsenko, he was very happy when after casting he was approved for this interesting role. Indeed, before The Last Cop, the actor had to play mostly romantic characters in soap operas. However, Anatoly often stated that the first days of the filming process were very difficult due to the large amount of text that had to be memorized. But the actor perfectly coped with his role of assistant and partner of the protagonist.
Female roles
Actress Polina Kutsenko in The Last Ment perfectly performed the role of the daughter of Alexei Divov. But actually Polina is Kutsenko’s own daughter. This is the second joint work of father and daughter (the first was the film "Compensation" in 2009). The daughter considers this multi-part film a great opportunity to learn acting from a talented dad, and also just communicate more often with each other.
Kutsenko's daughter Polina thanks Channel Five for creating this series. For her, this is a huge experience - from the point of view of what I can learn from my father, ”said a twenty-year-old young star. She is very glad that she began to communicate with the famous parent. Due to busy schedules, father and daughter rarely see each other. The father plays the role of a rare character, says Polina Kutsenko, with whom her character has a difficult relationship, but her father still loves her daughter. They often sort things out with each other, because policeman Alexei Divov is rather uneasy and is trying to raise his daughter.
Actress Victoria Korlyakova perfectly coped with the role of psychotherapist Victoria Markova. Prior to this serial film, she had extensive experience in participating in such productions. So, Korlyakova has already starred in the detective series Law and Order and the movie Team Che.
Where did the movie "The Last Cop"
This series has become quite popular, so many viewers want more detailed information about the shooting. Many are interested in where they filmed The Last Cop. Most of the filming of this serial film took place in the small town of Lytkarino. This settlement has an ancient history.
The city where the film "The Last Cop" was shot is located in a picturesque place: on the left bank of the beautiful Moskva River, just a few kilometers from the Russian capital. A certain part of the process took place in Moscow itself. Filming was very stressful, but in the end it turned out a great series called "The Last Cop." The location of the plot where the protagonist works was also held in Lytkarino.
Filming
During the filming of the film, especially when shooting scenes of a conversation between Alexey Divov and his daughter, tears really stood in front of Kutsenko and Polina. The actors were given heavy words like "Where have you been these twenty years?" Kutsenko himself often disappeared from the life of his daughter, then appeared again.
The second director, Alexei Shaparev, often pacified Alexei Rudenko and Kutsenko during heated discussions of the filming material. Famous leading actors quickly became friends and tried every minute to use “to good use” in the city where they filmed “The Last Cop”. They played volleyball, took walks in the woods, talked during short breaks between takes.
Adaptation of foreign series
The movie “The Last Cop” is an excellent adaptation of the version of the German series “The Last Bull” (five seasons of the film were shot and shown in Germany). According to the plot of the German series, Michael Brisgau is a brave policeman, injured in the late 80s and fell into a coma for a long time. After waking up twenty years later, he will no longer recognize his native country: now everyone has their own personal computer, personal cell phone, and young people seem to him simply weaklings. Beloved Michael has long found herself another, and for an adult daughter, he, in fact, is a stranger. Stories for television are often shot about him and told in newspapers. Returning to his previous job, he met a new young colleague Andreas Kring and psychoanalyst Tanya Huffner.
There is also a French version of the story - the Falco series. But our domestic project, the love of viewers, has earned no less.
Director Opinion
“It’s important to note that this film is not about police officers and not about investigating cases,” says the director of the movie series Mikhail Zhernevsky. reality, just as the hero Kutsenko raised his daughter in the film, the father actually brings up Polina on the set. There will be little action in the film, ”the director says.“ But there can be no fighting. " An experienced expert worked with the director, who accepts standards for physical training and combat from commandos.
Viewers of the series will not be disappointed by watching this serial film. The network often writes that the city where they filmed The Last Cop is Ulan-Ude, but this is erroneous information.
