VERTINSKY TV SERIES
A SONGBIRD FROM RUSSIA
We are still in Europe, while Hollywood is sleeping. I really did not expect that the trailer for new Russian period set series VERTINSKY would be so good,
but it is as you can see below. The incredible story of the Russian chansonier Alexander Vertinsky is airing in eight episodes on Russian national network after streaming on their Kion, on line cinema. The large scale project about the fate of the artist whose life and creativity were full
of drama, as well as the XX century itself, is one of their most expensive series ever. The famous chansonier, his voice was listened to by both European monarchs and wounded soldiers of the two world wars. He experienced poverty and luxury, concerts in restaurants and big scenes, long emigration.
The series first streamed on Kion |
THE MOST FAMOUS RUSSIAN SINGER OF THE 20TH CENTURY
The story of an artist who left Russia in 1919 and returned to the USSR
in 1943, at the height of the Second World War. Vertinsky lived, sang
and was
popular in Constantinople, Paris, Berlin, New York, Los Angeles,
Harbin, Shanghai and Moscow. He was loved by beautiful women, he was
applauded by royalty and thieves. He was a bohemian man, light and
cheerful. However, this picture is primarily about his kindness. About
the ability not to judge, but to sympathize with anyone. And for this
fate gave him great success and late family happiness. "Vertinsky" is a
story about how a songbird, an artist, a frivolous creature can live a
life that arouses both envy and respect! He is played by Aleksei
Filimonov.
The series consists of eight episodes |
I didn't know about Vertinsky, but I love what Russians do with period dramas.
ReplyDeleteThey always have them as a part of celebrating their national spirit and history, that is what I like about them, one of the very few countries that is holding strong against Western influence. It is also interesting that they have very strong reality programmes, but totally unlike West: in their latest reality, they sent two celebs, among them Julia Peresild (who played the princess in Golden Horde series) into space! Like for real, in a rocket, they landed back yesterday.
DeleteInteresting trailer...
ReplyDeleteIt is so rich and colourful.
DeleteA rich trailer indeed! He truly led an incredible life. I do hope there are English subtitles. Hell, the trailer had me considering studying the Russian language just so I xiii to I’d wait how it authentically lol
ReplyDelete*just so I could watch it authentically (where tf does auto correct come up with some of this crap?)
Deleteauto correct does like to eff with you in particular LOOOOOL
DeleteThat’s why I hate using the iPad to blog hop. Autocorrect always changes my stuff. That’s why I’ll never get rid of my laptop. She’s a trusty old friend.
DeleteI only have a desktop. I need to buy something with good camera, but I don't have time nor knowledge nor energy....
DeleteThis one looks lovely! The bohemian life is nice to fantasize about, but not so sure it would be the best way to live permanently.
ReplyDeleteDefo not, unless you don't have any other worries in life and have army of servants to do earthly things for you.
DeleteI couldn’t do it either. Jason would probably be fine with a bohemian lifestyle though.
DeleteWell, he did work his bum off in his life, so he did his share of work on this planet and deserves to go Bohemian LOL
