Broken light

Memory of Vera Glagoleva

Actress Vera Glagoleva died at the 62nd year of her life.

It is painful, incorrectly looking for words to the necrologist of a beautiful young woman, a meeting with whom were joy, discussions of future work. And there was still a lot of laughter. And in the final - quick farewell: "To the soon!"

Almost the entire population of the USSR knew it, and in the mid -eighties, readers of the Soviet screen called the best actress. Moreover, she did not receive professional education. Just the operator Vladimir Klimov saw her in the Mosfilm Buffet of the film studio, where she came with her friend. She was amazed at such a relaxedness, naturalness that she easily went around professional actresses on the samples of the film "On the ends of the world ...". And the respected playwright Evgeny Gabrilovich, seeing her, said that this is an extraordinary face - the discovery of our cinema. In the film, the hero of Nakhapetov shouted to her: “You are not you! You are a mystery, mystery! ”

Then he was “on Thursday and never again” by Anatoly Efros: whom Vera considered her main teacher. Her Varya is fragile and defenseless, in love with selflessly and unrequited by the hero of Oleg Dahl, who injures her with his indifference. And which she is ready to protect from loneliness. Efros called her to his theater. He needed this natural poetry. This external fragility and this unsolved power.

She starred a lot. Among the most famous works to "marry the captain." From the remembered - a small film "About You" - about the talent of the soul. The girl in this picture has a rare gift to sing from birth. She is a part of nature, the voice of nature. And I don’t want it to become like everyone else.

And there was also an important role in the “torpedo bombers”, one of the most honest paintings about the war shot by former documentary Semen Aranovich. And the actress managed to dissolve in this documentary.

In the 90s, when the actors suffered in the absence of roles, another Vera Glagolev-the director arose. Her parable “Broken Light” is a story about talented actors who, after the collapse of the Union, cannot find a job. About devoted profession and devoted by their country.

Films of Vera Glagoleva are caressed by festivals. Among the best “one war” is about women exiled to the island for contact with the enemy. Ready to give up for their children, including life.

And a few years ago, she shot the film adaptation of Turgenevsky “Month in the village” - her favorite play by Efros. Raif Faynz, who played in her “two women” Rakitin, told me how interesting and difficult it was to work with faith. As together they composed his hero - an outsider, observer, contemplator.

“She has a feature rare for our profession,” said one actress, “she is real. In the frame. And behind the scenes. " And this is true.
