"The Star of Your Period" is a rare case when a movie is played in the theater. Margarita Lesko is a Soviet film star. A phenomenon of its era. Renata Litvinova herself communicated with such great women while working on the documentary "There is No Death for Me". Then the idea of the play was born, TV Center reports.
"I asked them their main dreams, they said - a new role. They didn't want anything material. Mordyukova, Samoilova, Okunevskaya, Vasilyeva, if they appeared anywhere, they would also react to them. Great Mordyukova! Everyone would have shouted - great Mordyukova! After all, it's noir, it's a thriller, it's a drama. It's with some comedic elements," Renata Litvinova said.
But they also make you think rather than laugh. Newsreel footage, in which the face of a young and blooming actress contrasts sharply with the image, more like Count Dracula from the famous Francis Coppola film. To breathe life into the power of a young screenwriter. Only he can bring the forgotten film star back to life.
There's something autobiographical about it. Just look at the poster. The author of the script is Renata Litvinova, the director is Renata Litvinova. Starring her. That's really the star of our period. And if Litvinova's previous performance with a similar cast has been on the small stage of the theater for several years, then the premiere has a completely different scale!
