«Interdevochka». The actors of the film bomb 1980s

"Interdevochka" (actors: E. Yakovleva, T. Loustiola, A. Nemoliaeva, I. Rozanova, V. Khromushkin, etc.) blew up domestic film distribution in 1989, refuting the aphorism of the early perestroika era, which reads: "There is no sex in the USSR!"

Ideological breakthrough

Literary original, which was written script of the picture "Interdevochka" (the actors were required to read it before participating in the filming), was published in the magazine "Aurora" Vladimir Kunin's story under the eloquent title "Prostitute." Such a candid name seemed too provocative to one of the censors, who was a member of the Politburo, so a new, more veiled "Interdevochka" appeared urgently. This term instantly entered into the spoken vocabulary of every Soviet citizen. Despite the beginning of all possible "glasnost" and "perestroika", the moral values and ideals that have been planted for tens of years to an ordinary Soviet citizen continued to hold their positions, so the film "Interdevochka" can be called a breakthrough. And the breakthrough took place not even in the cinematographic, but ideologically.

Plot

The film "Interdevochka" had a specific plot. The main character Tatyana Zaytseva (Elena Yakovleva) lives with her mother, a teacher and works in a district hospital as a nurse. But in her spare time from hospital duty she entertains wealthy foreigners in hotel rooms. The girl dreams to break out of poverty, poor environment, for this, earning in this way, hopes to meet a foreigner, to marry and emigrate abroad. And she met Swede Larsen, who not only became her regular customer, but also fell in love with Tanya, offered her. It seems that all the dreams and dreams of the main character have come true, but for everything in life you have to pay, even for a short well-being, not just for your sins. After reading the scenario of the tape "Interdevochka", the actors focused their attention on the personalities of their characters.

Creators and specificity of the plot

The creators of the picture did very well, avoiding piling up of spicy bed scenes. Currently, given the sheer specificity of the storyline, they would have filled half the timekeeping picture. But when, after conflicting reviews, the Party Central Committee nevertheless gave permission for the film to be shot on a provocative story, director Pyotr Todorovsky and screenwriter Vladimir Kunin focused their attention on the social aspect of such an ambiguous phenomenon as prostitution, taking for the basis the story of one prostitute. The tragedy of the protagonist was not particularly specific, but it could only happen in Soviet society. Vladimir Kunin wrote film adaptation for a certain performer - Tatiana Dogilev, but Todorovsky did not find Dogilev in the image of a prostitute sufficiently convincing. However, like many others: Natalia Andreichenko and even the Polish sexy-bright film star Katarzyna Figura.

Performer of the main role

In the end she became the performer of the main role of the film "Interdevochka" Elena Yakovleva. Actor Vsevolod Shilovsky, who was already approved in the film for the role of Tatyana's father, offered to try the actress for the lead role. But when Peter Todorovsky saw the actress, he was dumbfounded and angry. After all, the girl was hudovata, without expressive forms. Yakovleva was upset, but she did take part in the tests. After that, the director realized that Elena was a fine actress, and immediately confirmed the girl to the main role.

Actors and supporting roles

All the actors involved in the film have formed a strong cast of actors, in which there are many well-known names and familiar faces: Zinoviy Gerdt, Anna Frolovtseva, Valery Khromushkin, Larisa Malevannaya, Thomas Lautiola, Vsevolod Shilovsky, Martins Vilsons. Actresses who performed the roles of the second plan, the authors picked up much faster than the performer of the role of the central character. Ingeborga Dapkunaite (Kisulya), Irina Rozanova (Sima Gulliver), Anastasia Nemolyayeva (Lyalka) and Lyubov Polishchuk (Zina Meleika) were confirmed for the role on the first attempt. With all the professionalism of actresses, they refused to act in erotic scenes. But the picture was still about prostitution, so the shooting of bed and frank scenes became one of the most difficult tasks of the film group of the film "Interdevochka." The actors remembered the prohibition of censorship officials: "No pornography!" - but the director repeatedly used tricky tricks and editing.

Success without a "strawberry"

Immediately after the release of the rental picture made a lot of noise. But behind the angry and exposing statements of adherents of severe morals, the audience could see the artistic merits of the film, the idea that the director put into it. "Interdevochka" was also awarded by professional film critics: the main actress Elena Yakovleva received the prize of the Sozvezdie film festival, the Nika award and the special prize of the Tokyo film festival for the best female role. Simple moviegoers, despite the limited number of coveted "strawberries," stormed the cinemas. The success of the film was grandiose. The film collected at the box office an unprecedented amount for that period - 41 million rubles. They are still indignant, someone admires.
