Needless to say, the childhood of the future cameraman and director passed in an artistic environment? Denis Evstigneev already knew in childhood that his life would be connected with cinema. And when I graduated from school, I decided to enter VGIK, the camera department.
The biography of Denis Evstigneev is of interest to journalists not only because this person comes from a famous family. There are few films on the account of the hero of this article as a director, but each of them became a real event in domestic cinema at a certain period.
Limit
Native Muscovite Denis Evstigneev made a film in 1994 about provincials who arrived in the capital. For two of them, they had only one hundred and sixty rubles and a jar of jam. Residents of the capitalcontemptuously called them "limit". Years have passed. One of the provincials became a hacker. Another limitchik performs the tasks of members of the mafia structure. Such a "career" led to a tragic ending. The heroes of Denis Evstigneev's film were played by Vladimir Mashkov and Yevgeny Mironov.
Mom
The director invited the same actors for the main roles in this film. In addition, O. Menshikov, A. Kravchenko, A. Panin and others played in the film. The plot of the picture is based on the history of the infamous Ovechkin family. It was not difficult for the young director to find an actress for the role of mother. Rather, it was determined before the start of work on the script. Nonna Mordyukova, according to Evstigneev, even took part in the search for money for the film.
The plot of the film had little in common with the real story of the Ovechkins. The film by Denis Evstigneev reveals the tragic fate of a woman who, in spite of everything, finds the strength to live on. The heroine Mordyukova is a real image of a Russian mother. In reality, the members of the Ovechkin family are criminals. And the mother is the organizer of the terrorist act. Nevertheless, both the audience and critics left a lot of rave reviews about the film. And the success of the film "Mom" lies not only in the participation of famous actors, but also in talented directorial work.
