Furious, also known as Legend of Kolovrat (Template:Lang-ru), is an 2017 Russian historical fantasy film about the Ryazan knight Evpaty Kolovrat, directed by Ivan Shurkhovetskiy. It stars Ilya Malakov, Polina Chernyshova, Aleksei Serebryakov and Yuliya Khlynina.

Film is based on the period when Russia was under control of the Golden Horde. Ryazan knight Evpaty Kolovrat is the leader of the squad, which decides to fight back khan Batu, who divided Russia.

The plot is based on The Tale of the Destruction of Riazan, a medieval military tale about the capture of the city of Ryazan by the Mongols in 1237 and is one of the best sources of the Mongol invasion of Russia.[2]

The premiere of the film in Russia is scheduled for November 30, 2017.[3]

Plot

Film will tell about Golden Horde times and the warrior, Ryazan knight Evpaty Kolovrat, leading the squad decides to fight back khan Batu, who shattered Russia.[4]

This military tale (The Tale of the Destruction of Riazan) survived in several sixteenth and the seventeenth century redactions and is thought to be a part of a miscellany that was composed and revised by the clergy of the Church of St. Nikholas of Zaraisk. According to the legend, the church is located on the spot where the princess Eupraxy killed herself. Given a form of a military tale, the later version of The Tale of Batu's Capture of Ryazan is a fictionalized account with some historical inaccuracies suggesting that the Tale was composed sometimes after the described events and was subsequently further edited. Tracing its provenance, textual analysis, and dating of various redactions have been conclusively resolved by Soviet scholars.

The Tale of the Destruction of Riazan is one of the most interesting and best written accounts of the invasion of Russia by the Mongols: ...Within twelve years after bringing the miraculous icon of St.Nicholas from Kherson, the godless Emperor Batu invaded the Russian land with a great multitude of his Tatar warriors and set up camp on the river Voronezh in the vicinity of the principality of Riazan. And he sent his infidel envoys to the city of Riazan, to Great Prince Yury Ingvarevich, demanding tithes from everyone - from the princes and from all ranks of people.And the Great Prince decided to send his son,Fedor Yurevich, to Batu with many gifts and supplications that he not invade the land of Riazan...

Prince Fedor came to the Emperor Batu... And Batu began to entertain the Riazan Princes, and after this entertainment asked that they send their sisters and daughters to be his concubines. And one envious Riazan courtier told Batu that the wife of Prince Fedor belonged to the Byzantine imperial family and that she had a most beautiful body. Emperor Batu, who was false and merciless, became excited, and told Prince Fedor: "Prince, give me your wife so that I may enjoy her beauty." And Prince Fedor said - "It is not our Christian custom to bring to you, the godless emperor our wives so that your lust may be satisfied. If you conquer us then you will be the ruler of our wives."

The godless Batu felt offended, and became angry. He ordered the immediate death of Prince Fedor, and commanded that his body be thrown in a field where it would be devoured by beasts and birds. And the retinue and the warriors of Prince Fedor were also put to death.

One of the servants of Prince Fedor, by name Aponitsa, managed to escape, and wept bitterly, seeing the body of his master. Having noticed that no one guarded the corpse, he took his beloved master's body and buried it secretly. Then he hurried to Princess Eupraxy and told her that Emperor Batu had killed her husband. At that moment the princess happened to be on the upper floor of the palace with her infant son, Prince Ivan. When she heard from Aponitsa that her husband had been slain, she was seized with grief, and threw herself from the window with the child in her arms. And so both were killed...[5]

Filming

The filmmakers decided to abandon the reconstruction of the thirteenth century historical events and preferred to create a fairy-tale world with good and bad characters.[6] This project is the first feature film directed by Ivan Shurhovetskiy.[7]

Dzhanik Fayziev said "Amur truth" that the filmmakers tried to focus on historical detail, but the emotions and experiences of the people who make a hero from a normal person capable of performing a feat. According to the head of the company producing the film "Central Partnership" Pavel Stepanov, the visual effects were deliberately "Fabulous" to emphasize that the events of the tape are a legend.

Music

Furious is an incredible historical epic battle film that I started working on several months ago. For years I contemplated to compose for a film with epic musical proportions utilizing big orchestral, crazy rock and moving ethnic elements. In that sense, my dreams came true. I am extremely proud of my work on this film, said Tankian.

Dzhanik Fayziev, film director and producer, commented, "Serj Tankian is probably the only musician in the world who can combine modern rhythms and ultimatum tenderness in his work. He wrote an original soundtrack to the film that can rightfully be placed on par with the best samples of world cinema music".

We are proud that a world-class musician agreed to work on our film. It is a great pleasure to work with Serj. I am certain that our cooperation will last longer than this movie and hope that there many joint projects ahead, said general director of GPM KIT Rafael Minasbekyan. [8]
