The actress easily beat her colleague.
Directors from all over the world regularly turn to Leo Tolstoy’s famous novel Anna Karenina. A story written by a great writer attracts them with its relevance and colorful characters, so every few years one or another film adaptation appears before the public. And each time the directors pay special attention to the heroine, who must play the main role.
So, in 2017, viewers saw the film “Anna Karenina. The Story of Vronsky”, where the leading role went to Elizaveta Boyarskaya. Both viewers and critics praised the artist for her beauty and talent, but it turned out that other directors did not consider this a good choice.
According to Alla Sigalova, who presented the production “Karenina. Process” on the stage of the Theater of Nations, a completely different heroine is better suited for the role of Karenina. When the director wrote the script, she didn’t even think about inviting Boyarskaya. Even without casting, Sigalova gave the role to Sofia Ernst because of her inner energy and beauty.
“She is very beautiful and smart. By the word “beauty” I do not mean ideal facial features and a pretty nose. I mean energy and feminine seductiveness,” — said the director in the YouTube show “Lera in the Big City.”
