In January 1989, Peter Todorovsky "Interdebchochka" film was released on the screens. In the dramatic tape, it tells about the girls who decided to make a living by one of the most ancient ways - prostitution. In the Soviet Union, it was not decided to even talk to such topics, not that to make films. Until 1986, it was officially believed that this phenomenon in the USSR is missing as such, although everyone understood that this is not true.
Nevertheless, the picture quickly gained popularity among the audience and became the leader of the rental time of the restructuring. In the material 24cm - interesting facts about the film "Interdevechka".
"Soothed"
Peter Todorovsky was born in a provincial city, and therefore had a vague idea of girls from the "panel". According to the director, they all had to have "outstanding forms" and look defiant. The spouse of the Todor world Grigorievna took him to the places where the representatives of the most ancient profession were going to show how they really look like. Peter Efimovich surprised what he saw: there were different women and girls who did not meet his ideas.On the pages of the publication "Soviet screen", Todorovsky spoke about working on the film and shared with readers, which is far from this topic. Having learned from the press about the plans of the director, the "night priestesses" began to send letters to Mosfilm with stories about how long they were working in this area, about their experiences, and also put candid pictures in envelopes in confirmation of their words and in the hope to the cinema. However, the director only laughed and sought a professional actress on the main role. Interesting fact about the film "Interdestochka": the search for the executor main role continued for more than 6 months.
The girls who worked on the panel came to the film studio to the director, even after the completion of the selection of the actors to tell about the subtleties and the peculiarities of their profession, how they "have come" to such a lifetime. They told about the reasons and circumstances that pushed them to such a step: some came to this sphere banally for money when not to feed children, others - in search of adventures and in pursuit of beautiful and fashionable things. According to the confused, their weekly income often exceeded the salaries of ordinary workers in tens of times.
main character
The author of the story "Interdevechka" (which was originally called the "prostitute", and then - "Freken Tank") Vladimir Kunin represented Tatiana Dogilev in the lead role and wrote the script for her. But the director did not agree with this opinion, Doglev's samples categorically did not like Todorovsky. Also on the role of Tanya Zaitseva, Natalia Andreychenko was tried, but, according to the director, she looked "too vulgar." The invitation to the samples was sent to the actress from Poland Katachina Figure, but it was not possible to agree with her.
Elena Yakovleva, who got in the end the main role, also did not correspond to the ideas of the director about the appearance of the "classic confused": it was too thin and deprived of volumetric female forms. And without these factors, according to the convictions of Todorovsky, it was impossible to attract customers. Later the missing "forms" actress during filming was added with the help of a foam rubber. To persuade the director to choose Yakovlev was able to his spouse: it was the world of Grigorievna convinced that a young actress is ideal for this role.
"I do not want and I will not!"
Stroing Elena Yakovleva categorically refused bed scenes and did not want to take off nude, so the director had to improvise, and go to various tricks to show intimate processes in the frame. The very "bold" scene was the appearance of the yakovoye in the frame in lace underwear, she did not agree to more.About how the bed scenes of the film were created, it was possible to shoot a separate movie. From the "bed" in the frame was, in fact, only the bed itself. The scene with the Japanese client was filmed without the presence of the latter: Yakovev with a face shining from Glycerin, alone lay in bed. The whole acting took place only in her eyes. Behind the scenes, the director rhythmically "swept" for the legs of the actress, dressed in a swimsuit. Sounds imitated using a log under the bed, and the assistants swayed the nightstand with a lamp on it in the tact of music. Complemented the picture using manipulations with light and camera movements. For Todorovsky, the main ones were not the details and accuracy of what is happening, but the point.
For the sake of his wife
The idea to make a film on the story of Vladimir Cunin first came to the head of Todorovsky. An interesting fact about the film "Interdestochka": from the state budget did not stand out for shooting. The world of Grigorievna had to look for sponsors abroad, and she found them in Sweden with the help of the Son of the writer James Oldridge. With him, they met at the International Film Festival in Moscow, and the spouse of Todorovsky shared the plans and the idea to take the film. The guy appreciated the idea and, returning home, found the bull merchant who gave money to creating a film.
In the Goskino of the world, Todorovskaya did not find support, as it was not officially dealing with artistic cinema. The spouse, who only finished work on the picture "Military Field Roman", also initially reacted skeptical to this idea, because the topic was unfamiliar to him and besides, the USSR was considered too "acute." Todorovsky was hot and protested, flatly refusing to take into this work. He agreed only for the sake of his wife, who had been persuading him for a long time, and entrust to shoot such a film in Goskino was more than one. The bosses understood that in this tape there will be no "strawberry", and the main theme will be love.
Swedish partners
Cooperation with Swedish partners has greatly facilitated the work of Soviet cinematographers. The film is removed on the high-quality and expensive film "Kodak", which could not afford to acquire other directors who shot the movie for state money. Also in Sweden, expensive and fashionable outfits for actors were purchased. It is curious that the shooting was held in the same hotel, which was previously worked by the author of Vladimir Kunin, when she collected material for the book.Priests of love
Interesting fact about the film "Interdestochka": the authors did not want to recreate reliable images of the confused on the screen. In one of the shooting days, actresses (Elena Yakovlev, Ingeborg Dapkuny, Love Polishchuk) asked the police officers to determine which of them is more like a real "priestess of love". To universal surprise, the police pointed to a modest girl without makeup, who worked on the site by an assistant costume screen.
Dubious Slava
After the release of the film on a little-known actress, Elena Yakovlev fell off the ambiguous glory. Spectators and fans, as often happens, perceived Yakovlev in the image of "interdevelops", attacked by letters and even visits. Among the fans were "characteristic characters": for example, one man wrote that he would be free after 3 years and will stand under the balcony of the star "Bald, in a fufike and flowers."Alternative ending
The tragic finale in which Tanya's mother voluntarily left his life, and the heroine herself died in a car accident, did not like Swedish partners. In their opinion, the ending was to become more positive, therefore alternative episodes for foreign rolled products were filmed. In this variant, the heroine remains alive, flying back to Leningrad, towards the unknown.
In conclusion, we will add such an interesting fact about the film "Interdestochka": an alternative version with a happy ending to see the audience was not destined. Swedish partner - Stallet-film company - became bankrupt, and the film Todorovsky in Sweden did not reach the screens. But the picture with the final, which was originally and conceived the director, saw in Japan, Germany and Canada.
