The magnificent socio-sports drama “Box” is an acutely social film about Russian guys and their peers of Caucasian nationality who love to play football, and therefore conflict over a sports ground.
Ball Duel
The directorial debut of Eduard Bordukov, who spoke in the project “Box” (leading actors - S. Romanovich and K. Degtyar) as a director and screenwriter, turned out to be excellent, dynamic and vibrant, relevant and extremely honest. The fans of football will be pleased with the amazing authenticity of what is happening and the incomparable sports choreography. For lovers of good movies who are not interested in sports, the film can also be recommended for viewing, because according to the author, the box around which the whole action of the picture is famously twisted is a metaphor for the country and modernity in general.
In the project “Box” the actors starred versatile, with different levels of professionalism and experience. In general, casting drama cannot be called star-studded, but successful - definitely worth it.
Lead actor
Among the experienced performers stands Sergei Romanovich. The Russian theater and film actor was previously known for his participation in the production of the series "Kitchen" and "Chernobyl: Exclusion Zone." The film debut of the young performer was successful, the actor in the film of the same name played the role of the orphan vocalist of the band “Tender May”, who later became the star of the Soviet stage. After that, Romanovich played supporting roles in the television films “Escape” and “Life and Adventures of the Bear of the Jap.” Before the triumphant appearance in Anders Bank’s project, the actor starred exclusively in the television series “Hugging the Sky”, “Secret City”, “Elder Daughter” and In the work of E. Bordukov, the actor played the role of a 17-year-old fan of street football, Konstantin, who spends all day on the sports field.The film "Box" actors invited to participate in the production of the tape (among them Romanovich), describe how the story of the choice and him after actions.
Casting cast
22-year-old Alexander Melnikov became famous and popular after the broadcast of the first season of the television movie “The Law of the Stone Jungle”. During the casting, the actor, having met with the director, met with Romanovich already approved for the role. Together they shot one episode in the yard, and literally a week later the actor was approved for the role of Serge.
In addition to the drama mentioned in the production, Sergey Podolny, a charismatic debutant and handsome Kirill Degtyar, who was reincarnated as the hero of Damir, and other performers took part in the production of acting. All the actors worked perfectly together, rallied into a real team, embodying various role models on the screen.
Professional athlete-football player Ruslan Nigmatullin turned into a coach in drama, approached the filming process with all responsibility. The actors called the movie “Box” a real test, every day for three weeks each performer trained for six hours at the Mosfilm site: they learned to make feints and other wisdom.
Men's movie
Largely due to the fact that in the drama “Box” the actors and roles were selected by each other by producer Elena Glikman, there are no complaints about the finished result either from the audience or from film critics. In general, the project is a testosterone male movie, therefore, it does not actually trace a romantic line. A female character - the same age as the main characters Nastya - performed by actress Stasi Miloslavskaya appears in order to advantageously dilute the male story with her female charm. Her judgments and her words for the movie Box (male actors held the same opinion) are much more important than her fashionable outfit. And the way the director uses this character in the story once again confirms his talent.
