Seven major roles in the cinema of Soviet rock musicians



Russian rock, as a phenomenon, widely declared itself in the second half of the 1980s. And some directors decided to use it, inviting to the main roles instead of professional actors rapidly gaining popularity of rock musicians.


Let's remember these films. I will make a reservation at once, documentary films in which musicians play themselves in calculation do not go

The first thing that comes to mind is, of course, "Needle" with Viktor Tsoi.



Crazy success - Choi on the cover of the "Soviet Screen" and the winner of the contest is the best actor of the year





But he was not the first. in 1985, Alexander Stefanovich entrusted the main role to Andrei Makarevich in the film "Start from the beginning," where he played a young and talented musician who is in a creative impasse





A couple of years later, the screens are "The Burglar" with Konstantin Kinchev



(here, incidentally, was also the cover of the "Soviet screen")





One can not help recalling the famous Assa of Sergei Solovyov, although to call Africa a musician is probably too bold, but nevertheless





Yuri Shevchuk in 1990 starred in the surrealistic fantasy of Sergei Selyanov (who is better known not as a director but as a producer) - "Spirits of the Day"





In the same year, Pavel Lungin with Pavel Mamonov appeared in the main role (which many noticed in the same "Igle" by Rashid Nugmanov) on the screens "Taxi Blues". Much later, there will be another "Island" and "King", but this is another time and a separate conversation





In 1991, there was another film with a rock musician in the title role - "Loch is the winner of water", where the main role was played by Sergei Kuryokhin




You can also recall Garik Sukachev in "Fatal eggs" or Oleg Garkushu in "I also want." But it was already another movie of another country and another time
