Monday Kids: actors and roles. Irina Rozanova as Lidochka
Irina Rozanova starred in many good films: “The Life of Klim Samgin” by Viktor Titov, “Intergirl” and “Anchor, More Anchor!” Peter Todorovsky. In 2001, the film “Children of Monday” supplemented her filmography.
Actors Irina Rozanova and Igor Sklyar play in the picture already elderly women and men, who in their youth wholeheartedly loved each other. But then the hero of Sklyar went into business, married the more punchy sister of his former lover, and drove off to Moscow. Lida, however, remained to live in the wilderness of the village in her parents' house.
Many years later, Svetka Ovdeeva appears on the doorstep and literally throws the drunk Medyakin right at the feet of her sister: it turns out that she never loved him, and now the ruined grief businessman does not need to be kept beside herself. Lida temporarily gives shelter to Medyakin, but answers to all his courtship in the most unexpected way: she promises to give it to the eye, then she throws her beloved with firecrackers. Will Lida and Dima stay together, the viewer will know only in the final of the picture.
Tatyana Dogileva as Svetlana Medyakina
The film "Children of Monday", the actors and whose roles will not leave anyone indifferent, became the next screen work for the inimitable Tatyana Dogileva. In the picture, she got the role of the imperious and punchy Svetlana Ovdeeva.
First, Sveta takes the prospective groom away from her own sister, then lives with the unloved person until he has at least some condition, and as soon as her husband goes bankrupt, she first threatens him with a gun to let off steam, and then takes her to the village with out of sight.
If the film “Children of Monday” had not been resolved in a humorous genre, then, of course, it would have looked like a drama. But the director Alla Surikova shows all the events from a completely different angle. Each moment of the life of the heroes is filled with light humor and comic. We are faced with quite recognizable life characters: narcissistic lovelace Medyakin, who is really just a confused person in life, the right and chaste Lidochka, a lying American preacher and even an alcoholic policeman, who begins every duty on a pile.
Victor Pavlov as an evangelical preacher
In the film Children of Monday, actor Viktor Pavlov plays evangelical preacher Johnny Buck. Johnny "carries the light of truth" in the area where Lidochka Ovdeeva lives. At the same time, the preacher is moderately depraved, a little stolen and very hypocritical. But this does not prevent him from holding meetings near the river day after day and telling the locals about God.
Viktor Pavlov is well known to viewers for his role as an inventive student in the film "Operation Y and Shurik's Other Adventures," as well as for the role of the vile Kotov in Svetlana Druzhinina's film "Midshipmen, Come On!"
