"The Balzac Age, or All the Men Svo ...": actors and roles

After watching the comedic melodramaticTV series "Balzac Age" actors and roles for a long time remain in the memory of the viewer. This film can be called a response to the American TV series "Sex and the City", but the directors have taken almost nothing from the American source, except for the idea of ​​four unmarried women who in the big city are trying to find love. And yet, let's consider the history of the main characters a little more.

“The Balzac Age, or All the Men are Svo”: actors and roles. Julia Menshova as Vera

The main characters from the series about the ladies of Balzakovthe age taken by order of the NTV television company has practically nothing in common with Carrie, Samantha, Charlotte and Miranda from the American prototype. In the film “The Balzac Age, or All Men,” the actors take us to the realities of Russian women, such as they really are.

The first collective image is creepy“Correct”, intelligent Vera Bolshova performed by Yulia Menshova. Faith always does everything according to the rules, is well brought up and well read. When conversations between friends come about intimate life - she is shyly silent and prefers not to go into details. In a word, the “Turgenev” young lady, who is already over thirty.

Personal life of the Faith, despite all the advantageswomen, does not add up: she alone brings up a daughter, lives in the same apartment with her annoying mother and if she really falls in love with someone, then this man will surely be a scoundrel and a deceiver.

“The Balzac Age, or All the Men Svo”: the actors. Lada Dance in the role of Alla

The second collective image in the series is the active and emancipated Alla Prikhodko performed by Lada Dance.

В картине «Бальзаковский возраст, или все мужики own ”actors Lada Dens and Yulia Menshova actually play the exact opposite: Alla has a career, she is an active, stylish woman, who is often looked after by very interesting men. Alla is able to "resolve" any situation - no wonder she works as a lawyer. That's just on a personal front, even with such a “smart” woman, everything is not so smooth either. Often she calls the men "goats", but she admits that she cannot live without them.

Lada Dance is not in the full sense of the wordactress - a woman has long been acting on the Russian stage as a singer. So we can assume that in the series about the ladies of balzakovskogo age she is a debutante.

Alika Smekhov as Sony

But Alika Smekhova, who played the role of Sonia, was already considered an accomplished actress by the time she began shooting. On her account were roles in the films "Life Line", "Dreams of an Idiot", "Thin Thing", etc.

The actors of the TV series "Balzac age", asusually embody on the screens collective images. Alik Smekhov is no exception. Her Sonya is a typical man hunter. She finds particularly wealthy characters, seduces them and gets married. And then enjoys the financial benefits of their husbands and is waiting for their imminent death (because preference is given mainly to older grooms). Such a fate is absolutely happy Sonya. She has not worked a day in her life and is not going to do it in the future. To be a wife is her profession.

When four friends meet for conversation,Sonya looks the most experienced in matters of the heart. Still: behind her shoulders two marriages and so many misallians! A woman is always ready to explain to her friends that love should remain love, and you should get married only by calculation.

Jeanne Epple as Julia

In the film “The Balzac Age”, the actors, andrather, their screen characters constantly get into recognizable situations: what is happening on the screen can be easily seen in ordinary life. So, the heroine of the actress Jeanne Epple - Julia - is also a completely typical life character.

Julia is infantile.We can say that she was a little stuck in her childhood (this is evident from her manner of dressing and acting). Until now, Yulichka’s bills are paid by her parents, they also indicate to her that there is something to do, and they have long and unsuccessfully tried to find a bridegroom for their daughter. Yulia, like many girls from good families, received a decent education, but she did not work a single day in her life, like Sonya. But the personal life of a woman is very stormy. True, it constantly pulls on men with some kind of “fad”.

For example, out of thousands of men, she will definitely choosea gay or young man who is obsessed only with girls who wear gypsum. She also had love affairs with men who are attracted only to TV presenters or girls with abundant vegetation on their bodies.

Vera Alentova and Vladimir Menshov as Vera's parents

In the TV series “The Balzac Age, or All the Men”, actors Vladimir Menshov and Vera Alentova play divorced husband and wife, who have a common daughter, Vera.

Once upon a time, Vera’s father left the family for anotherwoman and went to live in Israel. Since then, Verochka almost every day has to listen to her mother’s stories about what her father is a scoundrel. In the finale of each scandal, Zinaida Semenovna says that Verochka very much resembles her “daddy”. From this microclimate in the family, of course, leaves much to be desired.

It is noteworthy that the directors on the role of allmembers of the Bolshov family were invited to a real acting family. Vladimir Menshov in life is indeed the husband of Vera Alentova, and Julia Menshova is their daughter. The only exception is Angelika Shilova, who on the screen embodies the image of the daughter of Vera Bolshova.

Other performers of roles
