Filming
An interesting fact is that Vladimir Ivanovich, stepfather of the bride, was to play Vladimir Mashkov. However, the schedule did not want to coincide, so the role went to Jan Tsapnik. Boris served in the landing, as did the actor himself. He played well and improvised, some of his texts were inserted into the final script. It was decided to do test shootings, but there was no money to pay the fee. Then the director turned to his friends with a request to take part in the filming. Thus, Julia Alexandrova began to play the role of Natasha.
Actors
Each character has his own type, for example, Lyuba, the mother of the groom, is a plump woman, very noisy. And the mother of the bride Tatyana is a pseudo-intellectual. She shows with her whole appearance what her position is. Boris Ivanovich, Nata's stepfather, who used to be a paratrooper, but became an official, I want her daughter’s wedding to be held, like people’s, and not otherwise. Photo by Anna Matveeva from the movie "Bitter!" can be seen below.

Interview
Sergei Svetlakov in an interview said that the relatives decided to give the newlyweds a present and therefore invited Svetlakov, in fact, to the wedding. At the wedding, he got drunk, had a fight with riot police. And to make everything look real, the director and his colleagues officially selected videos on YouTube on which the wedding was demonstrated. They also heard a lot of stories from friends and tried to focus on them. The authors wanted the wedding to be recognizable. For example, in Gelendzhik they filmed a feast scene. And local actors told the artists that there is a tradition for the wedding table - “bulls” - champagne bottles, they are put on the table, tied with ribbon. So they did.
For the fight, one of the videos on YouTube was chosen. The stuntmen offered different tricks, but they were shown commercials with fights at weddings, and the director asked the stuntmen to recreate something similar. The most interesting thing is that the director Zhora Kryzhovnikov is indicated in the credits , but in fact it is the pseudonym of Andrei Pershin.
Reviews
People respond to the picture in different ways. Someone says that this is an ordinary wedding, which was filmed on camera, where they drink a lot, scandal and fight. And someone, on the contrary, that all this is in Russian, is often done very much. Some people say that this is a typical Russian mentality, color, cut, which includes everything: fights, alcoholism, relatives who would like to turn down the volume, flat jokes, karaoke or dancing to a song. The authors wanted to show that all these quarrels are not worth a damn, and love is the most important thing.
Criticism
Critics and reviewers mostly talk about the film well. For example, Andrei Plakhov said that in the film irony and sarcasm are well mixed, the scenes are not prolonged, and the plot is correctly limited by time. This is a truly folk movie, quite funny.
Alexander Pasyugin said that the film depicts works of a satirical genre in the style of Saltykov-Shchedrin, showing realities that are very easy to learn.
The film was even nominated for an Oscar in 2014, but the jury chose Leviathan.
Rafe Fiennes, a British actor, said he watched the film and appreciated the comedy. He has friends in Russia who believe that those present are shown to be too big alcoholics. However, the actor himself claims that a similar version may be in different languages.
It sometimes happens that a comedy is sometimes shot just to collect money, sometimes this film is shot in haste. But the film "Bitter!" - this is the middle.
Premiere of the film and the opinion of stars
When the premiere of the film took place at the Moscow cinema "October", the director, performers, and also the producer arrived there.
Svetlakov made an opening speech and said that this film is dedicated to parents.

Also came Ivan Urgant with his stepdaughter, Garik Martirosyan, Semyon Slepakov, Maxim Matveev with Elizabeth Boyarska. The stars said that the film really liked, really very funny and funny, a little sad, as it shows the Russian realities.
Seekers: The Royal Cup
In the biography of actress Anna Matveeva, there is experience as a director in the documentary "Seekers", the 25th issue about the Tsar Chalice. Somewhere on the outskirts of Tsarskoye Selo, a large bowl of granite was found. Not just big, huge. She was found in the ruins of a building. This structure resembles a mixture of a temple and a palace. Locals do not like these ruins, they say that this is a bad place, and try not to go there. In the Tsarskoye Selo museum they say that this is a royal bathhouse, that is, simply put, a bathhouse. Even there is historical evidence that Hitler ordered her to be taken away from Russia, but no one can explain why this happened. Alexander I was the customer for the production of the bath, and Samson Sukhanov, the famous stone worker, was the one who made the colonnade for St. Isaac's Cathedral. However, it is still unknown what the purpose of this bowl was and how it was used.
"Ship"
This project was shot on the Spanish "Ark." Actress Anna Matveeva, her photo can be seen above, was played by an employee of the laboratory.
A real sailing ship, what could be more interesting than traveling on it? And around the sea, without end and without edge, so romantic, you can tell your relatives and friends about this trip. There is a sailing ship, training, called "Running on the waves." There come 20 people of cadets who believe that they will become sea wolves and will be able to plunge into the romance of distant voyages. However, fate confused all the cards when an explosion occurred at the hadron collider. As a result, a catastrophe happened, now there is not a single mainland at all. Around a continuous expanse of water, the whole earth is under water. It is not known who else survived, perhaps only people on this ship survived.
Naturally, people are comparing the Spanish film and our version. There are undoubtedly differences, and many say that our film is much more fun and colorful.
