Alexander Bashirov belongs to the category of thoseactors whose personality cannot be indifferent. He is either loved or hated — there is simply no other. Alexander Nikolaevich deserved such an ambiguous attitude toward himself not only because of the images created on the screen, but also because of the numerous antics that are on the verge of what is permitted outside the shooting area. Photos of Alexander Bashirov rarely see a teenager on the wall. He has never been a fashionable actor, but this does not prevent him from acting in the highest grossing pictures. The actor sometimes even has to participate in several projects at the same time. Many roles brought him prestigious awards and awards.
Childhood
Alexander Bashirov is from the small village of Sogom, which is located in the Tyumen region. It was there on September 24, 1955 that the future famous actor was born.
Его семью очень трудно назвать благополучной даже by then standards. Alexander's mother divorced her husband almost immediately after the birth of her son, and therefore raised the boy alone. At the expense of a woman was also her one-armed father. Disability and principled political views (he was an ardent opponent of Soviet power) did not allow him to work. Housekeeping, he also preferred fishing. Nevertheless, according to the memoirs of Alexander himself, his mother provided the family with everything necessary, although for this she had to work all day on the railway.
Youth
Since 1972, Alexander Bashirov decides to liveon their own. For this, a seventeen-year-old boy moves to Leningrad and enters a college, where he chooses a working specialty of a tile-tiler. The profession leads not yet held actor to work at a cement plant, which is located in Vyborg.
The constant desire to change something in your life,as well as the subpoena from the recruiting office abruptly reshape the fate of Bashirov. From 1981 to 1983 he served in the tank division of the Red Army. There, in the frail lad, they saw the creative rod for the first time and sent them to work as an artist-designer in the fitting room.
Since 1984, the biography of Alexander Bashirovstarts writing from scratch. It was then that he successfully passes the selection and enters VGIK on the directing department. In the first two years, the training of a new student takes place in the workshop of Igor Talankin, and then at the honored meter of fiction film Anatoly Vasilyev.
Bashirov Alexander Nikolaevich in an interviewabout his unexpected decision to move into the world of cinema, said that radical things began to happen by themselves when he decided to direct life. You never need to depend on fashion, you need to create it. These words can describe all the life beliefs of the actor.
Movie debut and life in America
Первую роль тогда еще студент ВГИКа получил в 1986 Sergei Solovyov instructed him to play The Crank in his film “Alien White and Speckled”. The experience was ambiguous, but this did not embarrass the future star of the screen.
По-настоящему звездный час пришел к Баширову a year later, when all the same Solovyov called him to appear in the cult film "Assa". The eccentric and emotional actor was noticed both by the spectators and by other directors, even though his hero, the false Major of the Air Force, appeared only episodically on the screen.
In 1988, Alexander Bashirov receivesan invitation to participate in another legendary film - “Needle”. He perfectly managed to play the role of Spartacus - a small, absolutely nothing representing himself, but at the same time a very dangerous person. This image is then permanently glued to the actor.
Практически сразу после окончания института cinematography Bashirov decides to leave his homeland and flies overseas. But even there he does not deviate from the intended path, so from 1990 to 1991 he was engaged in acting skills in the studio of Laurens Arancio.
Личная жизнь в этот период также бьет ключом.The actor marries an American citizen. Their marriage did not last long, and one of the reasons for the divorce was the mismatch of characters. Nevertheless, in America, Alexander Nikolayevich remained the son of Christopher, with whom he keeps in touch whenever possible.
Promising director
Many people know Bashirov as a wonderful actor,but few people realize that he left a few bright traces in the directorial career. Unfortunately, his early student works The Outsider and Ode to Joy have not survived. But the next attempt at writing created a real sensation in 1998. The creation bore the provocative name of “J.P.O.”, which stands for “Iron Heel of the oligarchy”.
On the account of the director Bashirov such pictures asthe documentary “Belgrade, Belgrade!” and the TV series “Good luck to you, detective.” In addition, many musicians are always ready to work with Alexander Nikolaevich. The most famous creation in this area can be considered a video shot for the song “Nastasya” by Vyacheslav Butusov.
Studio of youth cinema "Deboshirfilm"
Project titled "Rowdy Film Studio"was born in 1996. This was the period when the cinema in the country was just beginning to recover its lost positions. Bashirov, having chosen the path of youth and underground cinema, literally hit the stream. His studio very quickly became popular, and therefore the festival of the same name was organized on its basis. It is held twice a year and today is one of the largest in the field of independent cinema. Bashirov is the permanent head of the studio and director.
Inna Volkova - friend of life
Inna Aleksandrovna is the second in a row wifeBashirov. A woman is 9 years younger than her husband. She is quite popular in certain circles, since she has been engaged in musical creativity since 1988 and has been performing in the Hummingbird group.
Alexander Bashirov and Inna Volkova canto boast not only a happy marriage in which their daughter Alexandra-Maria was born, but also a wonderful creative understanding. It is fully reflected in the film "Iron Hell of the Oligarchs." Inna Volkova played one of the roles in the film, and also wrote a song to him called “Not a Hero”.
Filmography
The first pictures in which he took partBashirov, as noted above, were "Alien White and Pockmarked", "Assa" and "Needle". This was followed by “Accomplice”, “Bread - noun” and “Black rose - emblem of sadness, red rose - emblem of love”. The directors more often trusted him with minor and episodic roles, but the audience still loved the actor.
Maybe it is because of popular sympathy.Bashirov was so popular in the 90s. Despite the fact that during this period there were not so many films, he did not remain without work. Among the paintings with his participation, it is necessary first of all to single out the series “The Streets of Broken Lanterns” and the full-length tapes “Mama, Do not Cry!”, “Crystal, Car!” And “Ermak”.
For modern Russian cinema thiseccentric actor also means a lot. In favor of this statement says his filmography. Alexander Bashirov recently played in such sensational paintings as “Down House”, “Sisters”, “Shtrafbat”, “9 Company”, “Blind Man's Buff”, “Peter FM”, “Gruz 200”. Of particular note is the work of the actor in the historical work “Golden Age”, where he brilliantly coped with the role of Emperor Paul I, and the role of the cat Behemoth in the film adaptation of the novel “The Master and Margarita”.
