The film about the scattered girl - DJ Masha Emelyanova, and the budding architect Maxim was released in the spring of 2006. History immerses us in the romantic atmosphere of spring St. Petersburg.
Plot
Masha is going to marry her classmate Kostya. Maxim is invited to work in Germany. He says goodbye to his friends. With the city.
And here the fate of the heroes intersects in order to ...
The film is full of expectation of a romantic meeting. Heroes must meet in order for Maxim to return to Masha a lost phone. But fate bred them ... Maybe so that they eventually get to know each other better and change each other's life?
Atmosphere
"Peter FM" is an incredibly atmospheric film. The positive mood of Masha Emelyanova, a chic musical selection and, in fact, the city itself is responsible for the spring mood - beautiful, sunny in this story, awakening from winter sleep.
"Peter FM." Actors and roles
The film is full of kind, touching characters. Occasional roles are played by Vladimir Mashkov and Andrei Krasko.
Ekaterina Fedulova (Masha Emelyanova) says that if the story was shot, for example, in Moscow, it would have turned out to be completely different. Peter is a separate character in the film.
This is a story about accidents, which in the end are not random. If Masha had not lost her phone, she would have married the unloved Kostya. And Max would have gone to live in Germany, although the life of the St. Petersburg romance attracted him much more.
"Peter FM": the film, actors and roles here are all kind of modern, but the picture is similar to those that were shot in the 60s. There is no violence and chernukha, the story is bright, life-affirming and kind.
Evgeny Tsyganov played Maxim Vasiliev. Director Oksana Bychkova approved him for the role without trial. And Eugene was attracted by the opportunity to work in St. Petersburg with a company of debutants, and he agreed. Eugene says that his hero - Maxim, exists outside the social context. He does not strive to become the first champion. Engaged in architecture and moonlight as a janitor. Max is a newcomer, but people like him - naive, romantic - create the image of Peter.
Irina Rakhmanova (Lera, Masha’s friend) says that “Peter FM” says that everything that is done is for the better. And this is a very necessary movie that inspires hope. On the set of the film, the actors constantly listened to music. And even in the film, Lera does not leave her headphones, she carries music with her everywhere.
Ira Rakhmanova and Katya Fedulova are friends in real life. And it helped them improvise in the film. Their duet turned out to be positive and energizing with positive emotions.
Alexey Barabash (Kostya) is a third-generation Petersburger who loves his native city very much. He says that he loves to get up early or not to sleep until the morning to see how the city wakes up. Bridges are divorced ... Irrigation makes the asphalt beautiful, gray. And the director managed to convey this atmosphere.
Kostya is a hero of our time. Successful, financially secure, predictable. But in the film, the task was to make Bones' character annoy. This movie has its own heroes. Wrong.
The sound engineer of the picture, Kirill Pirogov , has a cameo role in the film. He plays the new boyfriend of ex-girlfriend Maxim - Marina. At first he had words. Then there was only a song that the characters sing in the car. And according to Cyril - this is wonderful. Words emphasize, but there is only the atmosphere of spring St. Petersburg. The film seems to be "woven from nothing", this is the highlight of Peter FM.
Actors and their roles do not set the task to convey an intricate plot. Heroes just live. And the actors live their heroes, enjoy the city and teamwork.
A word to the creators
Elena Glikman (producer) says that it’s great that the film “Peter FM” was a debut for many guys - actors, creators could break loose and come in the middle of the night. They burned with their work.
There is an explanation of why the picture is called "Peter FM". Maxim and Masha understand each other perfectly. They are on the same wavelength with each other and with the city.
For Oksana Bychkova (director "Peter FM"), the film, the actors - everything was the first time and became a "film school". And not only for her. 14 debutants worked on the picture. In Peter FM, actors, directors, sound engineers, make-up artists, and mechanics are almost all involved in the episodes. This is a directorial debut for Oksana herself. She was a little anxious to shoot newcomers. It was terrible that they would not play, could not convey the atmosphere. It was a real school for her. And it all worked out. The film was released in a wide release and was very fond of the audience.
