Batalov Sergey Feliksovich, actor: biography, personal life, filmography

Last Friday, Honored Artist of Russia Sergey Feliksovich Batalov, a tall, mustached Sverdlovsk citizen, who seems to have forever fixed the image of a simple and unsophisticated Russian man with an open smile, celebrated his sixty-second birthday.

Today we join in all the congratulations and recall the main points of the biography, as well as the best roles of this actor.

Biography

Sergey Feliksovich Batalov, whose personal life and filmography was the subject of our discussion, was born on April 19, 1957 in the small ancient Ural town of Irbit, which is the unofficial motorcycle capital of Russia.

His mother was an intelligent and educated woman, descended from dispossessed merchants, had a pedagogical education and worked as the head of a kindergarten, while his father was an ordinary truck driver who soon left the family. After some time, the stepfather took up the education of the future actor. When the boy was only six years old, he already ran to the local summer theater and watched the actors for a long time. At that time, of course, he was still hardly thinking about his future vocation, and although he liked the process of what was happening on the stage, young Seryozha, like many of his other peers, was more interested in becoming a pilot. Therefore, after the ninth grade of a comprehensive school, he was even enrolled in an aviation college.

The case was helped to become an actor to Sergey Feliksovich Batalov: in 1975 he, together with his friends who were dreaming of entering a theater institute, went to Moscow for nothing, out of idle curiosity, went to audition with them and unexpectedly entered into GITIS. Friends failed in the entrance exam and returned home.

After graduating from the theater institute, Batalov was enrolled in the troupe of the Moscow Drama Theater on Malaya Bronnaya, having worked in it for a total of up to 1998, after which he finally went to the cinema, which appeared in his life while studying at GITIS.

Personal life

With his only wife Zoya Sergey Feliksovich Batalov met in 1985. The girl worked as a prop for the Moscow Theater on Taganka and was friends with one of our hero’s friends, who played with him in the troupe of the theater on Malaya Bronnaya. Word for word, she brought Sergey to Zoe, and soon a noisy theatrical wedding took place. According to the actor’s recollections, in the first joint New Year, he taught his wife to make dumplings, cook jelly and bake cabbage pies according to old Ural recipes, which he adopted from his mother. In 1986, the studied actor and Zoya became the happy parents of Katya’s daughter.

Surprisingly, in his personal life, Sergey Feliksovich Batalov is a principled teetotaler, despite the on-screen image of the drinking person adhered to him. This is due to the fact that once, when he was just a beginner actor, he drank for courage and was very disgraced on stage, after which he promised himself not to drink and has kept his promise for more than thirty-five years, being an exemplary husband, family man and father.

By the way, this year the daughter of the actor Catherine will be thirty-three. She grew up a real beauty, but in the footsteps of her parents did not go. Having received a higher economic education, the girl got a job at a bank, and does not even think of a theater or a cinema.

Let us dwell in more detail on the most significant roles in the career of Sergey Batalov, arranging them in chronological order.

Critical painting

We will begin, of course, with the film "Cloud Paradise", released in 1990 and recognized as the best picture of the year according to critics.

In this amazing tragicomedy, telling an incredible story as monotonous and stale as the old web, of the life of a small provincial town-type settlement, one fine cloudy day, suddenly disturbed by the action of a simple and modest guy Nikolai, who decided to somehow break the dank routine and pretend that he was leaving from these forgotten places of God forever. The news immediately spread through the sleepy town, like a blast wave, waking all its inhabitants and rallying them with the only goal - how to conduct your hero.

In the film "Cloud Paradise" Sergey Batalov brilliantly played the title role of Fedor, the main organizer and ideological inspirer of the wires of Nikolai. Despite the fact that almost thirty years have passed since the picture was released on the screen, it did not lose either its relevance or that particular piercing, which forces us to revisit this ridiculous and at the same time very sad picture, which is the brightest event in Russian cinema of recent decades.

Shirley-Myrli

In 1995, Sergey Batalov could be seen as a funny, but very purposeful policeman in the real comedy masterpiece of Vladimir Menshov's “Shirley-myrli”, sparkling quotes from which instantly scattered across the country. The painting tells the extremely crazy story of three twin brothers, who, by the will of fate, never knew each other, one of whom became an authoritative gypsy, the other a famous Jewish musician, and the third a professional thief whose goal was a fantastically expensive diamond found in Yakutia .

Thus begins a series of completely unusual and breathtakingly funny adventures of all the heroes of this wonderful film, over which, not completely tired, the audience has been laughing for almost a quarter of a century. Of course, this is absolutely not a solid enough age in comparison with the immortal comedies of Leonid Gaidai and Eldar Ryazanov, but still ...

"Shub-baba Lyuba!". Positive generator

In “Shub-Baba Lyuba!”, A 2000 film, Sergey Batalov played the role of the father of high school student Volodya Sidorov, to whom his grandfather Yegor Kuzmich came once from faraway Siberia, bringing a diamond of impressive size and giving rise to many eccentric adventures, one of which the love for the grandson’s teacher suddenly surging over the old tundra worker.

Comedy "Shub-Baba Lyuba!" is a real generator of good mood and positive emotions. The film is very easy, ridiculous and original, and its exciting dynamic plot and brilliant play of the actors will not let the viewer get bored for a single minute.

"Under the polar star"

In 2002, Sergey Batalov played the main role in the television series "Under the Polar Star", which tells about the difficult working days of the harsh crafts of Surgut. The action of the picture takes place in the 70s, and it seems that all the events of this film were really filmed in the distant time when the great Soviet Union existed, and all its heroes are real Soviet people who lived in an era later called "stagnation".

In the image of his hero, Batalov is surprisingly reliable, and watching his game is like a breath of real fresh air, especially against the background of the dominance of Western blockbusters, for the most part devoid of any soul.

“From Love to Cohan”

The melodramatic series "From Love to Kohannya", telling a romantic story that occurred on the border between the Russian village of Chubovo and the Ukrainian village of Oseledtsy, was released in 2008, long before the events that happened six years later. The bride Nastya lives in Oseledtsy, and in Chubovo, respectively, her fiance Andrei.

However, their fathers, some heads of modern versions of the Montecca and Capulet families, one of whom is the head of the Chubovo administration, and the other as a police captain who monitors order from the Ukrainian side, have their own opinion on the account of their wedding, quite worthy of the great Shakespeare.

In this surprisingly funny, sincere and kind picture, Sergey Batalov played the role of father Andrei, who came together in a completely equal duel with his future matchmaker.

"Old ladies on the run"

One of Batalov’s last notable acting films was the role of Ignat Prokopov, which he played in the lyrical comedy series “Old Women on the Run,” released in July 2018.

The picture tells about three energetic friends who have just entered retirement age, but are completely unwilling to put up with it. They embark on an exciting journey to prove to themselves and others that life closer to sixty can begin anew.

"Old ladies on the run" are very comfortable to watch. They can fix any bad mood, and watching the funny, unusual, and sometimes fabulous adventures of Zinaida, Lydia, Catherine and their friend Ignat, is a real balm for peace of mind ...
