Yankovsky

2015 · 71 min

A warm, wistful portrait that lingers on charisma and memory, inviting you to bask in affection for a magnetic presence.

Directed by: Arkady Kogan
Genres: Documentary
Starring: Rostislav Yankovsky, Nikolay Yankovskiy, Filipp Yankovsky

Overview: This film is not about Oleg Yankovsky in the usual sense: not a biography of a great actor, not a review of roles. And not the sharp facts from his personal life. Although it's all in the film: a dramatic fate, unknown pages of biography. Like any great actor, he possessed a secret - he did not tell both in the movies and in life. But his main gift was not even acting. Yankovsky was talented at making people fall in love with him. I wanted to look at him again and again: that's why they loved him and still love him.
