At all times, the inhabitants of the Russian lands have taken to be proud of their ancestors. Respectfully treat their work and achievements. Alexander Basov is a worthy son of his famous father. He also has something to demonstrate to his native country.
Difficult childhood
People born in the capital initially have some advantage over the provincials. Alexander Vladimirovich Basov was born on September 16, 1965 in a family of famous film and theater actors. Parents lived in Moscow. By that time, my father was already a famous actor and venerable director. Mother, having an acting education, also spent a lot of time on the set. The upbringing of the boy in the house was carried out according to traditional folk commandments. The father often said - he who spares the rod for his son does not love him.
Sasha's parents loved and prepared him for an independent life. Basov Jr. from an early age demonstrated a variety of natural abilities. The boy had an excellent memory. He easily remembered the names of cities and countries. He memorized poetry without straining at all. Already at the age of four, he climbed onto a chair and recited to the guests "Once, in a cold winter time …". It is not surprising that at the next stage of development, the future screenwriter began to write poetry himself. The child had a lot of toys, but they quickly bored him. Alexander gave them away to his friends right and left.
At school, Basov studied well, but he did not have enough stars from the sky and, it happened, missed classes. In high school, I was already seriously engaged in literary creativity. He wrote not only poetry, but also "large" works - novels and scripts. It is important to emphasize that friends and acquaintances have always been drawn to Alexander. He still has a magnetic charisma. When Sasha turned fifteen, he, together with his friend Misha, decided to create a youth creative association and call it "KIM". Young poets, prose writers and artists gathered under this brand.
Within the framework of this association, plays, poetry and prose works were created. Young authors combined all these opuses into one almanac, which they called "YAR". It was during this period that Basov wrote his first scripts "Vladimir Mayakovsky Tragedy" and "Violin and a Little Nervous". And not only wrote, but also staged these plays on the stage of the Mayakovsky Museum. In 1985, the creative union fell apart due to conceptual differences. To get a specialized education, Basov entered the directing department of VGIK.
Professional activity
Student years for many people fly by like an easy and beautiful dream. For many, but not for Alexander Basov. It is important to recall that he first got on the set at the age of six. Then, in 1971, my father filmed the picture "Return to Life". The experience did not make a proper impression on the child. Some time later, Alexander realized that he was attracted not by participation in the process of making a film, but by observation from the outside. Observation and adjustment. In other words, he was attracted to directing and scripting.
Constantly busy with his projects and problems, Basov could not appear at the institute for weeks. For missing classes, in 1986, he was struck off the list of students and immediately drafted into the ranks of the armed forces. Two years later, having served as it should, Alexander completed his studies and received a director's diploma. However, former classmates invited him as an actor to work in the films The Past Is Always With Us and Shifted. After which Basov, as they say, struck his first project as a director. During the 90s, the TV program “Criminal Russia. Crime Chronicles.
Recognition and achievements
Director Alexander Basov, in collaboration with Marat Rafikov, took on a project called "DMB". The first episode of the military-themed comedy was released in 2000. The audience liked the picture. And then the creative team decided to continue working further. Over the course of two years, viewers saw four more films about the adventures of a warrant officer and privates. For the creation of this project, Basov received gratitude from the Association of Russian Actors. In 2004, Alexander filmed the feature film "The Forest Princess". The film won the main prize at the next international film festival for children "Fairy Tale".
The next film, which was noted at the Moscow Premiere International Festival, was called Home Sweet Home. It took several years to shoot this picture. This delay is partly due to the lack of stable funding. But to this circumstance was added the death of the actress, who played the main role. Alexander had to make a lot of efforts, physical and psychological, to bring the project to the end.
Personal life scenario
The director and screenwriter, like all normal people, could not imagine the template for his personal life. The first marriage was not in heaven, but in a student dormitory. The newlyweds were 19 years old. A year later, they had a son, and after a while they parted. Alexander does not mention the name of his first wife, so that once again it does not flash in the information field.
The second marriage was concluded deliberately and for love. The husband and wife met on the set. Alexander lived with Katya Lapina for thirteen years. The misfortune happened unexpectedly. The talented actress died in a car accident. Basov took this tragedy hard. A few years later, he met a worthy woman, Yulia Yanovskaya. They currently live together. They run a common household.
