Квартира в старом московском особняке на Пречистенке (дом Дениса Давыдова) - основное место действия и главный герой фильма. События начинаются в середине XVIII века. Промотавшийся дворянин Бурковский продает дом преуспевающему немцу, и с этого момента начинается история превращений этой квартиры, связанная с судьбами людей, ее населявших, - от народовольцев до большевистских комиссаров. Из жалкой коммуналки в начале 90-х она снова превратится в шикарные апартаменты, хозяином которых станет господин Румянов, популярный сатирик, поэт и артист, к которому после многих лет запретов и безмолвия, придут, наконец, признание и богатство. После разрушений и бесконечных переделок, которые продолжались в течение ста лет, новый хозяин загорелся мечтой воссоздать до мельчайших подробностей жизнь в этом доме...
"Дом для богатых" (2000), a collaborative production between Barrandov Studio and Mosfilm, is a compelling Russian film that delves into the stark contrasts of wealth and poverty in post-Soviet Russia. Set against the backdrop of a luxurious mansion, the narrative follows the lives of its affluent residents and the starkly different world of the impoverished workers who serve them. The film masterfully captures the tension and social dynamics between these two groups, offering a poignant commentary on the societal shifts following the collapse of the Soviet Union. Directed with a keen eye for detail, the film showcases the opulence of the rich through meticulously designed sets and costumes, contrasting sharply with the grim realities faced by the working class. The cinematography enhances this dichotomy, using light and shadow to underscore the moral and economic divides. The performances are equally compelling, with actors delivering nuanced portrayals that bring depth to their characters, whether they are the haughty elite or the struggling servants. The storyline of "Дом для богатых" weaves together multiple narratives, each highlighting different facets of the socio-economic landscape. From the ruthless ambition of the wealthy to the quiet desperation of the poor, the film explores themes of greed, survival, and the quest for dignity. It does not shy away from depicting the harsh realities of life for those on the lower rungs of society, yet it also offers moments of hope and resilience that resonate with the audience. Ultimately, "Дом для богатых" stands as a powerful critique of the new Russian society that emerged in the late 20th century. It challenges viewers to reflect on the moral implications of wealth disparity and the human cost of economic transformation. Through its engaging storytelling and thought-provoking themes, the film remains a significant piece of Russian cinema that continues to be relevant in discussions about social justice and inequality.
