"For children under 16" - a tape for young people in which the main roles were received by no less famous artists Pavel Priluchny and Lyanka Gryu. What is the plot of this picture devoted to and what problems will its heroes face?
The creators of the picture
The film "Children Under 16" was shot in 2010 by Andrei Kavun. The director also created such famous action movies as “Piranha Hunt”, “Team” and “Kandahar”. And then he decided to temporarily change the genre and released a melodrama for teenagers and students.
Valery Todorovsky, who is the only son of the legendary director
Pyotr Todorovsky , became the producer of the film “For Children Under 16”
. As a director, Valery directed the popular series Thaw and the famous Styles. And as a producer, he oversaw the Kamenskaya project for the first three seasons, the drama Poddubny and the series Master and Margarita, directed by V. Bortko.
How much was spent on the film "Children Under 16" is unknown. But at the box office managed to collect only 808 thousand dollars. At the same time, critics did not meet the picture very well, but viewers on reputable sites respond mostly positively, in a pinch - neutral.
Characters and actors performing them. "Children to 16": Kubasov in the role of Cyril
Dmitry Kubasov is no longer an actor, but the directors do not indulge him in the main roles. For the first time, the artist appeared in the series "Kamenskaya-4" in the role of the blind Artem from the series "Personal Affair".
In 2006, Kubasov was entrusted with the main role in the series “Race for Happiness”, and a little later he played the central character in the French drama “Lake”.
In 2008, Vadim Shmelev shot the youth film “S.S.D.” and took the actor to the role of Sasha. Then Dmitry Kubasov smoothly migrated to the film "Children under 16".
Hero Kubasova is a spineless young man who, throughout the entire screen time, suffers from a love of Daria (she is played by Gryu). And although Cyril is next to a beautiful and interesting girl Leia, he stubbornly continues to look towards Dasha, who lives with a completely different person. In the end, the young man gets what he wanted, and then loses interest in his beloved.
Cyrus meets Leia again and confesses her love, but the girl aptly observes that Cyril just likes to suffer and beat around the bush, but in fact he never loved anyone.
Pavel Priluchny as Maxim
Andrey Kavun invited young promising actors to the project. “For children under 16” also entered the filmography of Pavel Priluchny.
The guy began his career with TV shows, and received his first notable role in the adventure game series "On the Game". We can say that “Children under 16” allowed the novice artist to strengthen his position in Russian cinema.
In terms of the character, Pavel did not play anything new: his hero Maxim is proud, thinks only of himself and his desires, easily makes romance with girls and just as easily breaks up with them. He becomes involved in a love quadrangle, as his friend Cyrus is in love with his girlfriend Dasha. However, this does not prevent Maxim from using Daria and continuing to live his life.
The role of Lovelace was firmly entrenched in Priluchny. In fact, he does not offer other roles. The most famous projects with the participation of Paul are the series “Major”, “Queen of Beauty”, as well as the science fiction film “Dark World 2: Balance”.
Lyanka Gryu as Daria
The role of Dasha in the Kavun project went to Lyanka Gryu. Her heroine is modest and a little shy. She communicates with Cyrus, maybe even understands what he likes. But the young man does not take the first step. And then the girl begins to meet Lovelace Maxim, to cause jealousy in Cyril. As a result, all this turns into unnecessary tears and belated confessions.
It was especially difficult for Dasha when she realized that her lover Cyril, after a couple of years of living together, completely ceased to have any feelings for her. This is the story the audience told the audience in 89 minutes.
"Children under 16" is one of the few projects in which Lyanka was entrusted with the main role. She usually starred in episodes.
In the movie, the actress began to appear in childhood. The main role was first received at the age of 16 in the movie “Nude”. In 2009, the girl played Jacqueline in the movie "The Return of the Musketeers." Of the latest projects, the Sherlock Holmes series occupies a prominent place, where Gryu appeared in the image of Irene Adler.
Starshenbaum as Leia
Anna Starshenbaum is widely known to the public for the main role in the New Year melodrama "My Boyfriend is an Angel," in which the actress appeared in tandem with Arthur Smolyaninov.
In the picture of Andrei Kavun, the girl got the role of a talented artist who in earnest falls in love with Cyrus, thereby closing the love quadrangle. But Cyril throws Leah as soon as Dasha agrees to meet with him.
A few years later, Cyrus insists on meeting with the artist in a cafe. Only now Leia has become much wiser. She advises Cyrus to love the one who is next to him, and leaves the young man at a loss.
Other role performers
The film "For Children Under 16" was included in the list of films in which St. Petersburg actor Alexei Shevchenkov (Yesenin) took part. In this project, he played father Cyril. The role of the mother was assigned to Olga Potashinsky ("Cafe" Strawberry "").
Angelica Volskaya (“Two Fates”) and Vladimir Kapustin (“Shtrafbat”) appeared on the screens in the image of Dasha’s parents. The mother of the womanizer Maxim played Naira Khachaturian ("The Engagement Ring"). Also in the frame you can see Alexei Gorbunov, Olga Khokhlova and Dmitry Prusakov.
