“Garden
the ring” is very interesting for me work, I happily gave her a lot
time — says Mironov. My character lived for many years in the pink glasses
with a rich husband. Then everything changed, and she’s dealing with a serious
drama… She always does a beautiful selfie and hard not to notice the terrible things,
which do not fit into the picture of her ideal world. When the son disappears, Faith
rushes to find him. And then the rose-colored glasses with
it down. It’s not even a psychological drama and Thriller. In complexity and
voltage I can compare this work with “vedrai,” which played in the play
Andrey Zholdak. But there rehearsals lasted a month and a half, and here there are three. I have
there was almost no rest days.”

“I
really looking forward to “the ring,” says White. — Alex Smirnov —
a wonderful young Director who completed the course Solovyov VGIK. And he
trusted as the debut of the 12 episodes in the company of Valery Petrovich Todorovsky.
This 24-year-old cocky, arrogant, talented plague gathered around him
normal a cohort of actors and with all that dealt with them, I would say
— dealt. And filmed a series about the life of contemporary residents of the Garden ring, family
drama, when all is well-well — and suddenly everything bad…”

The movie house I was approached by a young Valerie Todorovsky and was offered the role in its most
the first picture “the Hearse”. I admit, this is my favorite film and role.
To work with young and talented — wonderful.”

The script
“The garden ring” wrote Anna Kozlova, known for paintings “Short course
happy life” and “Divorce”. “I have got acquainted with Valera, and he told me
the idea, says Kozlov. — Todorovski wanted to make a film about about
a woman who is willing to do anything, just not to do their
life. About what efforts people make to maintain the “status quo”,
despite the fact that they are deeply unhappy in it…”
On
the script for “the Garden ring” was claimed by several Directors. As recognized
Alexei Smirnov, was inspired by an episode from the series “the Thaw” when aspiring Director
come to the arts Council, and due to his arrogance, gets the first picture. Smirnov
decided to do about the same: came to Todorovska and said he wanted to remove
“Garden ring”. Valery gave him a chance.

It is intensely social
the project is very tough. What is valuable to me, it is about our modern life, not
about nostalgic retro, which is full of our we do. The series
about our contemporaries, Frank, very honest, sometimes even excessively,
dangerous honest. I think the film is about a new phenomenon, which is in
the country and about which nothing is removed – the modern Russian middle class.
Somehow, flipping the tape Facebook, I found a huge number of people who write some
things, in complete isolation from reality. For example, there was severe flooding
in the Krasnodar region, all discussed it, and suddenly some woman says: “SOS!
It took me a housekeeper!”. Then I thought about what I would like something about
these people to tell. So the idea of a series about people who live in
the detachment from reality. Then the real world is revealed to them and that with them at this point
happens…”

Director
Alexey Smirnov says: “I have not seen other examples of our movie
spoke on such a topic. This film is about how a man displaces himself from his life
what he doesn’t want to know and see, and starts invented reality and
about what it end. In the film there is an element of comedic irony. And all
the actors were all very happy with their roles and most were laid. No one
of them were not afraid that he will hate…
When I read
the script, I thought that if all succeed, then the audience the entire first half
must be feeling: how do you want to kill all those Muscovites snickering!
In the second part, everything will be different. The first three series should call
the hatred of these people and their desire to destroy. The next three will occur
a detective story. Further three series of pure drama. And the last three of the series is
my favorite genre, which is a virtuoso Anna Kozlova – “all gone mad”.
This is my favorite part…

When I started the sample, I was 23 years old. And it was
very funny, the casting came stars and looked absolutely insane
persons, as a boy, something tells them. But in the end we all
found the contact, they somehow learned that I was not selling.
The casting was
quite a long time. Thank you very much Valery Todorovska, which is very
helped: at any time of the day you need to discuss with him. He never tried to make a movie Todorovski, from the very
the beginning of the movie worked for Smirnov. This is something that has saved me many times because
the Director of such scale that you have behind — the happiness
rare newcomer can afford…

We were preparing for the trial
quite thoroughly, because I knew that I was a newcomer and, accordingly,
classic sample this is not our story. We did a serious of tests, that is,
if we removed the feast, we put on the table, put the artist and filmed it all
the operator, at the same time to train. And then many of the decisions we
invented in the samples made it into the film.
Irina Rozanova was fun. Lover
her character’s name is Potap, he is her son. So at the audition the day
with her auditioned about twelve boys. Rozanov absolutely stunned,
and after each “Potap” I gave her the flowers…

What heroes spread
selfie with food in the social network — the idea Todorovsky. We thought it was stunning
the way people ruin his life, but they do not forget to put the salad because
their salad for them is more real than what happens in the shower…

Almost all
the scene we were shooting in Moscow. The atmosphere of the film the interiors are very important. Apartment
the main character is a real apartment where people live. The real and the mental hospital in which the hero Vitorgan. This clinic, which was serial killers and maniacs. They, of course, insulated
from us. But their presence was felt right was in the air…”
Its loud to the world of cinema names debutant Director
says: “At some point I realized that whatever I did, I definitely
I will say that I did it through connections. To answer all the questions, I removed the film from all its
three sisters and parents: that all immediately realized that this is all scary to me. Most proud of the role his father. I think it’s his best
role: he plays a watchman on the pound”.

“Was
painful search Director — says Todorovski. — Then there was Alex
Smirnov, which is a clandestine way, I read the script and came up with the words:
“I want to shoot it, I’ll shoot!” Of course, I told him “To
goodbye!”. Because he’s with her at the time of minimum experience in any way
could not qualify for the 12 episodes of the project. Alex persevered. Then I
asked him to remove a few pieces.
He withdrew and did it pretty convincingly. And I figured that out
of all the options that I have, this, filmed almost a teenager, was the most
the best…
