About the series
For their roles in the series "Kurt Seit and Alexandra", the actors really risked "running into" the harsh criticism of writers. The history of the Crimean Tatar officer in the service of the Russian Empire first appeared on the pages of a literary novel. The series is a film adaptation, any mistake would be called an insult to a famous work. The film crew understood their responsibility.
The love of Kurt and Alexandra “plunges a steel core” into the storyline with its “whirlpools” of events and upheavals. A lot of extraordinary events will happen in front of the audience, but only the feelings of the main characters will remain the same for them. Heroes are not lucky to live during the revolution. Wars and regime changes mercilessly "dump" the powers that be. Those who were at the top and held in high esteem yesterday are now forced to flee. In the stream of trials, the strong feelings between a noble officer and his chosen one become even more evident.
In working on the series “Kurt Seit and Alexandra,” the actors relied heavily on their external data, the performers of the main female and main male roles began their careers on a model catwalk.
According to the director’s intention, they could personify the nobility and beauty of the outgoing era, which was replaced by a completely different order.
The plot and reaction of critics
When the first episode of the series “Kurt Seit and Alexander” appeared on television, the actors and roles in it succumbed to fierce criticism. One part of the skeptics was indignant at the discrepancy with the literary analogue, the other found a lot of discrepancies with historical events. But subsequent episodes showed that the viewer perceived the love story well during the years of the “worldwide fire”.
The main character, a faithful warrior of the Russian Empire and its autocrat, comes from a respected and noble Crimean Tatar family. The officer is distinguished on the battlefield and hears around him the enthusiastic sighs of beautiful ladies in peaceful life. When Kurt madly falls in love with Alexandra at one of the balls, they resemble the most enviable couple in the world. It would seem that now nothing threatens their love. But the action of the series takes place in a turbulent 1917, when the royal family itself can not protect itself. On the set, all the actors in the film “Kurt Seit and Alexandra” got the opportunity to touch a difficult historical era.
