First Channel began airing the series “Klim” – BBC

The investigator Klim Roshchin (Konstantin Lavronenko) during the pursuit of a serial killer Mana (Vladimir Chernyshov) does not help him, he falls from a great height, and falls into a coma. Wines Roshchina not been proved and the authorities allow him to return to work, but with one condition: if Manský come around and give evidence against the investigator. Under the blow it falls not only he but his boss Krylov (Tatiana Kolganova).

The next thing to Klima becomes killing couples.

He suspects that the crime committed daughter killed Alice (Daria Mingazetdinova), but against it there is no evidence: the murder while she was away, the crime weapon found. The investigation is complicated by personal circumstances Roshchina: his wife Zoe (Anna Vartanyan) went to another, not really explain why.

On the First Channel on Sunday, January 31, the start detective series “Klim”. He took off his Karen Oganesyan (“Never mind the girl,” “Gift to the nature”) on the basis of a movie company “Environment”, which has already had experience of cooperation with British broadcasters. So, it is “Environment” makes Russian adaptation of “Life on Mars”, which will result in the best national series in 2012 – “The Other Side of the Moon”. But in this case was chosen another method.

«Klim” – almost single-frame remake of the British “Luther».

Of course, starring Idris Elba is not black (“Golden Globe” for the detective Luther), and it is our Lavronenko (best actor prize at the Cannes Film Festival for “The Banishment”). But if you do not pay attention to this little (which is difficult in light of the ongoing scandal surrounding the “Oscar”), these two characters are similar to the point of confusion – both of outstanding investigators who bite through criminals at a glance. And both the most problematic part of the investigation – is the search for evidence of his innocence.

Movies, too, is similar – until the same scenery in some scenes.

The problems of adaptation to Western formats native birch trees have long been known, and even learned to crawl. But simply copying takes place rarely and only with universal subjects, but something more complex and requires a completely different approach. The author of “The flip side of the moon” had to turn the conflict of “Life on Mars” that he somehow correlated with our history, but last year’s “Homeland” by Pavel Lungin, which the American «Homeland» differ only in the Cyrillic alphabet in the names left feeling bad staging – in spite of a good cast.

«Klim” followed the path of “homeland” and left “Luther” intact. On the one hand, this is good – those who have not seen the British series, without loss of meaning can read it without being distracted by the realities of the British capital. Those who are familiar with the original, look, “Klim” contra – not only that the content of all future series is already known, so still and English actors look in this story simply organically.

Our actors in “Klima “I am also trying to, but the fact that their colleagues from Britain turns to portray naturally, they have to play. Sometimes even replay that is in the spirit of the Russian cinema.

If their characters were left in London, it would turn out better.

You can not said that there were absolutely no attempts to move in a statement script Petersburg, but they look so clumsy that can pass for a joke. For example, Alice in “Klimov” for the Defense Ministry is developing a 3D-printers, and seems to have figured out with the creation of an exact copy of the person; she says about her work with such enthusiasm that seems to mankind in the near future expect Clone Wars, in which the products will perform the role of Alice honestly cannon fodder. Astrophysicist Alice from “Luther” poses a less ambitious goals.

«Klim” was ranked in the grid of the first channel is the place that the last two months of last year was given under “Method”. This vertical display series about serial killers and maniacs with Khabensky starring was acquitted – who shot him Yuri Bykov did not hesitate to show the blood, guts, murder and other accompanying circumstances of the chosen topic. “Klim” on background “method” is more herbivorous, and his release on Sunday is an attempt to consolidate all the same slot after those serials that were too hard for the usual prime time on weekdays.
