Those with whom I am. Alexander. Batals. Soloviev S.

A truly People's Artist, everyone beloved and respected Alexei Vladimirovich Batalov, is undoubtedly the standard of masculinity and intelligence in domestic cinema. A talented actor, director, public figure and wise mentor for the young generation of students. Those who were lucky to communicate with him personally are doubly happy. The book of the famous film director Sergei Aleksandrovich Solovyov, based on his film about Alexei Batalov from the cycle “Those with whom...” for the “Culture” television channel, is permeated with a trembling attitude to outstanding contemporaries with whom the author was reduced by fate on the set and for its borders. His verbal portraits of outstanding screens are deprived of banal features, well -known facts, they are warmed by the unique personal intonation of the author, who talks about their colleagues in art freely, relaxed, ironically, with a mass of bright details and details that are known only to him.
