Soviet postcard by Izdanie Bjuro Propagandy Sovetskogo Kinoiskusstva, no. 3, 107/72, 1972. Photo: Arkadi Zager. Donatas Banionis at right as Don Francisco de Goya y Lucientes and Fred Düren as Agustín Estevez in Goya – oder der arge Weg der Erkenntnis/Goya or the Hard Way to Enlightenment (Konrad Wolf, 1971). The postcard was issued in 150,000 copies. Retail price: 8 Kop.
Lithuanian and Soviet actor Donatas Banionis (1924-2014) is best known in the West for his performance in the lead role of Andrei Tarkovsky's Solaris (1972) as Kris Kelvin.
Donatas Banionis was born in Kaunas, Lithuania, on April 28, 1924. After visiting the Kaunas School of Crafts, Banionis began his acting career at the age of 17 at the Drama Theater of Panevėžys, where his first teacher was Juozas Miltinis before he started acting in films from 1959. His performance of the farmer Vaitkus in the Lithuanian film Nobody Wanted to Die/Niekas nenorėjo mirti/Никто не хотел умирать (1965) by Vytautas Žalakevičius was awarded the award for best actor at the Karlovy Vary film festival. Soon he was promoted to a highly requested actor, so many parts in prestigious national and international productions followed, such as his lead in the Soviet spy film Dead Season/ Myortvyy sezon/Мёртвый сезон (Savva Kulish 1966), and his supporting part in Mikhail Kalatozov’s Italo-Russian production The Red Tent/ Krasnaja palatka/Красная палатка (1969), on the rescue of the Umberto Nobile (Peter Finch) expedition by Roald Amundsen (Sean Connery). Vladimir Putin supposedly went to work for the KGB after seeing Banionis James Bond-like character Ladeinikov in Dead Season. Banionis has also worked outside the USSR, as in the title role Francisco Goya of the USSR-GDR coproduction Goya – oder der arge Weg der Erkenntnis/Goya or the Hard Way to Enlightenment (1971), directed by Konrad Wolf, and in the title role as Ludwig van Beethoven in the 1976 DEFA-production Beethoven - Tage aus einem Leben.
After a supporting part in Grigori Kozintsev’s King Lear (1971), starring the Estonian actor Jüri Järvet, he would play again opposite Järvet in his most well-known film part, that of Kris Kelvin in Andrei Tarkovsky’s remarkable science fiction film Solaris (1972), based on Stanislaw Lem’s novel. Kelvin, a psychologist, is sent to a space station placed in orbit around the planet Solaris, where the two surviving scientists of five (three committed suicide) tell him the ocean of the planet is capable to fulfill their wishes. Kelvin meets his dead wife Hari (Natalya Bondarchuk), tries to kill this phantom but fails to do so, and she becomes more and more real, even if lacking a memory. The phantoms prove to be the products of the planet, communicating with humans. In the end, Kelvin returns to Earth. Or is this Earth also a simulation? Tarkovski thus stressed the limits of knowledge, the reality behind reality, and the subjectivity of perception. The film premiered at the 1972 Cannes film festival, won the Grand Prix Spécial du Jury, and was nominated for the Palme d'Or. It premiered in the Soviet Union in 1973. In 2002 a remake of the film was made by Steven Soderbergh, starring George Clooney. Dreading the making of this remake, in 2002 Salman Rushdie praised Tarkovski’s original as an “exploration of the unreliability of reality and the power of the human unconscious, the great examination of the limits of rationalism and the perverse power of even the most ill-fated love”.
Steve Shelokhonov on IMDb writes about his later career: “Donatas Banionis constituted the link between the cinema of the past and contemporary Lithuanian film. He showed reserved and convincing work in the role of 'The old man' in Kiemas (Courtyard, 1999), a reflective film about a Lithuanian father and his family's depressing fate in the 1970's Soviet Union. He worked with director Aleksandr Buravskiy in Attack on Leningrad (2006), a film about the historic siege during the Second World War. Here his acting partners were e.g. Gabriel Byrne, Mira Sorvino, Aleksandr Abdulov, Kirill Lavrov, and Mikhail Efremov.”
During his 65 years of acting, Banionis played over 50 roles in film and on television, and over 100 stage parts, mainly at the Panevezys Juozas Miltinis' Drama Theatre, which was frequented by Donatas' fans from all over the former Soviet Union. He also acted in Vilnius at the Lithuanian National Drama Theatre. Banionis was designated People's Actor of the USSR (1974), and People's actor of the Lithuanian Republic (1973). He was Chevalier of the Order of the Lithuanian Grand Duke Gediminas. Donatas Banionis died from cardiac arrest in a hospital in Vilnius on September 4, 2014 (though Shelokhonov on IMDb states it was in his hometown Panevėžys). Donatas Banionis was 90 years old.
