July 20 – a hundredth birthday Tatiana Lioznova. Her hottest works with viewers are “Seventeen Moments of Spring”, “Carnival” and the poignant “Three Poplars on Plyushchikha”. There was additionally “Evdokia”, “They conquer the sky”, “We, those under”… Aif.ru talked concerning the legendary director with Lioznova’s pupil – artist Vadim Andreevwho starred in her newest movie, The Finish of the World after which Symposium.
Tatyana Ulanova, aif.ru: The movie “The Finish of the World…” is essentially the most unknown one shot by Lioznova. However his first look occurred again in 1987.
Vadim Andreev: Learn the American play Tatyana Mikhailovna Arthur Kopyt within the journal “Overseas Literature”. She discovered the fabric fascinating. However… Perestroika started, and with the persecution of the profitable leaders of the Soviet interval. Then Sergei Bondarchuk fell underneath these millstones, and Lev Kulidzhanov. The movie was panned and criticized. They confirmed it as soon as and that was it! When the heads of federal channels got here to Lioznova’s birthday, she at all times requested: “Why are you displaying all my movies besides “The Finish of the World…”?” They promised her: “Certainly, we are going to present her.” However Tatyana Mikhailovna didn’t watch for this. Though there may be nothing prison within the movie. Then again, now the subject is even related: the world goes loopy and it’s near a nuclear catastrophe. Nice music Gyi Kancheli. Wonderful group: Tabakov, Basilashvili, Dzhigarkhanyan, Rumyantseva, Vitorgan, Vesnik…
“We do not wish to offend”
– Did you meet the director on the set?
– No, I studied along with her at VGIK. It was the workshop of Professor Lev Kulidzhanov and Tatyana Lioznova. College students Sergei Gerasimov, they and their course are typed on its precept – performing director. We had 10 actors and 18 administrators.
Once I entered, Tatyana Mikhailovna was already well-known – “Seventeen Moments of Spring” had simply been broadcast on tv. Competitors – 100 folks per place. It was an ideal pleasure to get there. Though it was not straightforward to be taught.
– Due to Lioznova’s character? They are saying that she may even use robust phrases for the actors on the set.
“She actually was a fancy individual.” However all of the years whereas we have been finding out, Tatyana Mikhailovna was with us. She didn’t lisp, however she mocked and punished. If it was actually unhealthy, it was “flying”. However that is all to the purpose. We didn’t dare to be offended. We have been making ready for a really tough, energy-consuming and time-consuming profession.
“She had no kids of her personal.” How shut was she to your college students?
“She did not allow us to into her private life. She helped train us. After we already received our diplomas, I did a half-course on the Carnival. Sure, occasions have been this, however nonetheless a further faculty.
4 years later, she invited me to “The Finish of the World…”, though she had tried half of the nation. After which, apparently, the principal Gerasimov, who at all times filmed his college students, labored.
Tatyana Mikhailovna was onerous at work. Due to the consequence, she may provoke some form of state of affairs and provides a pointy opinion. With stars she didn’t enable herself to do that, however with younger folks – sure, she needed to obtain her aim in any respect prices. Though Lioznova herself didn’t take into account her final work very profitable, as a result of she didn’t absolutely perceive what style was essential for taking pictures.
“I used to be dwelling on a meager pension”
– Did the tape crush her a lot that she could not take anything off?
– Lioznova was filled with power and lived for 25 years after this portray. And it will work. However… I did not take footage as a result of instances have modified. We’re speaking concerning the 90s. I am unable to think about Tatyana Mikhailovna going round searching for cash for a movie, searching for sponsors, begging… That is why she closed herself.
– Had been there any feedback?
“She did not share her plans and principally pulled out of cinema. She lived on a meager pension. As well as, the Russian Jewish Congress paid her some cash to assist, as a particular consultant of the Jews, though Tatyana Mikhailovna was baptized in Orthodoxy.
– Lately, subsequent to her was her named daughter Lyudmila, the pure daughter of the take a look at pilot Vasily Koloshenko, who could possibly be greater than a pal of Lioznova …
– Due to Lyudmila – she was subsequent to Tatyana Mikhailovna for a number of many years. And he or she did not simply assist, she cared. Lyudmila turned the closest individual to the director, to some extent a guardian angel. When Lioznova entered the hospital, she was bodily very ailing, however she stored her psychological readability and humorousness till the tip of her days.
“Not each male director would have mastered “Seventeen Moments of Spring. ” And Lioznova took it off. What made her totally different from her colleagues?
– It was a unique era. These folks differed from right this moment’s consideration to element: props, costumes, music. The whole lot was necessary to them, right down to the smallest element.
Now they do that half-program a day: “Okay, it is filmed, let’s transfer on…” Earlier than, the work was lengthy, considerate, detailed. The scene was used till lunch and solely then was it filmed. They usually introduced it to perfection! It was analysis, that is why nice motion pictures got here out.
In the identical “Seventeen Moments…” you possibly can’t take your eyes off the silent Tikhonov. In “Three Poplars” within the scene between the characters there may be not a single phrase, solely a melody sounds Pakhmutova. Nothing occurs for 5 or 6 minutes! However… you possibly can cry! That is what a very good chief means!
– Do not they do this now?
– Perhaps they do. However… Now you typically hear: “We’d like motion, motion.” Sure, we discovered find out how to edit effectively and make wonderful pc graphics. The whole lot is mastered. Solely on the display screen for some purpose is a continuing attraction.
Guys, do it as they did: Bondarchuk, Lioznova, in order that nothing occurs within the body, however you wish to watch. There are only a few deep motion pictures! When you’re tasked with making an ideal image, when you do not take into consideration what you’ll earn from it, solely then will one thing work out.
