bezrukovaluba's rating
The trailer was initially hooked, because the film has an incredible cast. The young Ivan Yankovsky as Anatoly Karpov, the incredible Konstantin Khabensky as Korchnoi, and the beautiful Diana Pozharskaya (I like her from the Hotel Eleon series) as Karpov's wife. And of course, the joint life of the actors fueled interest in the film.
The film is, of course, biographical, but there are some inconsistencies, and the authors showed their version and their view of those events. Together with the wrestling of chess players, we saw a stagnant system in the USSR, when a step to the left, a step to the right, was tantamount to execution. Of course, under the Soviet regime, they worked for the result, but they did not always take into account the interests of the people. Apparently, therefore, Karpov's opponent Korchnoi decided to emigrate abroad. Of course, there were pluses and minuses, but it is not for us to judge, because we did not live in that country and we have nothing to compare.
