of love. The Vasily Lanovoy and Evgeny Knyazev duo
has been enchanting the public for all these years.
Knyazev is a
demanding actor. He prefers the parts that he would
enjoy playing, he likes partners and directors who
are interesting to work with. Having not found this
in the Vakhtangov Theatre, he started working in
other theatres.
In this regard, one
could mention the part of Berlioz in the eponymous
play at the Theatre of Nations, as well as the parts
of Sevostyanov and Ksey Kseych in “The Provocation”
and Barro in Fokin’s “Arto and his Double”. These
were outstanding and surprising performances.
Knyazev stated to
work in the cinema later than others, but he is
working in it very actively today. He already played
in over 30 films and serials. One of his major parts
was in the serial “The Fifth Angel” (2002). Director
Vera Storozheva, who worked with Knayzev in the film
“A Journey With Domestic Animals”, invented for him
a special character in her next film. Another
project he is about to finish is the title part in
“Wolf Messing” - a film about the mysterious
hypnotist of the Soviet era. |
