UTYOSOV: A LIFELONG SONG

Biographic film

(2006)

A classical biographic film about Leonid Osipovich Utyosov with the elements of comedy, lyrical film and drama. Utyosov was an actor who lived a long, hard and happy life together with his country. As the whole ocean is reflected in a drop of water, so the history of the great country is reflected in the life of that man.

​

The elements of the plot are quite traditional: the childhood, the youth, the maturity, the age of the biggest achievements, the sunset years…

​

As the actor’s artistic life is also explored: the birth of the actor’s dream, the attempts to fulfill it, the actor’s hopes, disillusionment and new hopes, the first success, the fulfillment of the dream, the fame and the bottom line…

​

A love story is also told. It is about Utyosov’s wife Yelena, the only woman he really loved…
