Nikita Mikhalkov about the secrets of "sunstroke"
3 October in Serbia will take place the premiere of the new film by Nikita Mikhalkov "sunstroke". Next picture will show in the Crimea, and on the 9th of October, it will come out in wide release. On the eve of the premiere of the Director reported on the traps and secrets of the movie, which was engaged in almost 40 years.

In a few days will be the main movie Premier autumn in Belgrade will show a film by Nikita Mikhalkov "sunstroke", which tells about the revolution of 1917 and the death of the Russian Empire. The scenario was that 2 of the works of Ivan Bunin - narrative "sunstroke" and diaries "Cursed days".

Newspaper "Komsomolskaya Pravda" asked Nikita Mikhalkov about the secrets of the newest films. According to the Director, to the picture he was almost 40 years. The idea was formed back in the seventies. "A great film critic Vladimir Dmitriev, alas, now deceased, came to me one day and said: "take Off "sunstroke" and if you succeed, at least 30%, you think you're the Director," - says Mikhalkov.

The story Bunin was spelled "like watercolor, it is almost impossible to translate into the language of cinema", but the Director has applied for shooting, though without special hopes, as in the USSR is unlikely to have allowed it to adapt disgraced poet. "Since then, the idea of a "Solar strike" lived in me and with me," - says Mikhalkov. Over time, the idea was changed, was formed with the idea to connect the narrative "sunstroke" harsh and terrible "Cursed days".

As a result, according to the Director, managed the adaptation does not work, and the author, similarly as with Chekhov in "unfinished piece for mechanical piano" and Goncharov in the movie "a Few days from the life of Oblomov".

During the writing of the script had a lot to work with historical documents, memoirs of participants of the Civil war. "The material we were literally overwhelmed and shocked. This is such power and truth of the testimony that we just speechless! As, for example, you tirade of secondary works on the theme "How do you perceive the revolution"? The girl says: "I Want to eat and smells dead," says the Director.

In the movie included a lot of weather elements of the past. For example, the scene with the peacock at the beginning of the movie taken from the works of Ivan Shmelev. To create the tape was hired consultants costume, consultants for environment, consultants music, consultants etiquette. And yet, Mikhalkov admits that someone will find out in the movie missteps.

"I was criticized for past picture - counted the stars on the American flag buttons on cadet uniforms. Assume that similar offensive inaccuracies may offend someone aesthetic sense, but at the same time, I wish to state that for the buttons you can overlook the main thing. It is worth paying attention to the fact that know THAT you're breaking. The violation should not go from mediocrity, and from knowledge".

Lovers of the film should be like. According to Mikhalkov, he can become voyeurs "painting with which you want to communicate." In the movie a great number of allusions, traps, references, ranging from Chekhov and to Eisenstein"that you want to decrypt. "I am absolutely convinced that the people who will come into the picture, will sink into it and the end of inspection, may want to watch it again to discover what you do not have time when you first view... And suggest that such visitors will be a large number," said Mikhalkov.

One of the "traps" were interesting place chosen for the premiere. They are also associated with the history: in the mid 20-ies in Serbia found refuge about 40 thousand refugees from the Russian Federation, many of whom went into exile from the Crimea, where is the legendary count's landing stage, which was off last ships with Russian officers, soldiers and Cossacks.

To the Crimea from Mikhalkov's special relationship. He calls it "the Mecca of the Russian artistic intelligentsia", the great Russian military glory. "For me, as Director of Crimea in General the place is Holy. Directly in the Crimea was born Russian cinema. 1st Russian full-length production of "the defense of Sevastopol", filmed in 1911 Khanjenkova and Goncharov. Immediately, in Livadia castle, the picture looked the Emperor Nicholas II. Here Khanjenkova organized the 1st Russian Studio. Crimea should rightfully regain popularity one of the major centers of Russian cinema," he notes.

"The premiere of the movie, to which I was almost 40 years, the event for me is not just relevant, but also very personal. It's like birthday, anniversary movie. And anniversaries traditionally, people celebrate with friends," says the Mikhalkov. And he adds that "sunstroke" - picture is, of course, historical, and "own story impossible to forget, sometimes, to see the future, we need to closely look into the past".
