Tarkovsky biography is brief

St. Petersburg 2nd Krasnoarmeyskaya St. The last directorial work of Tarkovsky was the philosophical drama “sacrifice”, a kind of will of the master of the master of humanity and a warning against the threat of a nuclear war. His parents attended at that time among his mother’s relatives in the village of Zavrazhia, the Ivanovo Industrial Region, Kostromskaya. Years later, when the Gorky Hydroelectric Power Station was launched, and with it the house went under water.

The boy’s mother came from the old noble family of Dubasov, although this was silent about this at that time from the fear of repression and was a graduate of the highest literary courses under the All -Russian Union of Poets. The same university was graduated by Andrei's father, at that time already a well -known translator, poet, author of the scripts, who was also a native of the nobles - the Tarkovsky clan belongs to the Polish gentry.

Two years after the birth of Andrei, the daughter Marina was born in the family, and a year later Arseny Alexandrovich left the family, settling with his new wife and her daughter on a neighboring street. Children worried for a long time that dad did not live with them. In her memoirs, Marina Tarkovskaya wrote: since the year, dad lived near us-we are in the 1st SPEPOVSKY, and he was with Antonina Alexandrovna and her daughter Lyalya-in the party lane.

I was surprised at that time - there was Arsenievsky lane nearby, and dad - Arseny - lives in a party, although he was not party. And he does not live with me with Andryusha, but with someone else's girl of Lyalya, although he is our dad, not her ... And once dad and Antonina Alexandrovna came to us with Andrei on Lyapinka. They gave us an apple, stood and left.

And we stayed - walk. Mom said that walking is very useful. She often met dad in the nearest store, at Ilyich. Mom bought, as always, bread, milk and butter, and dad said: “Maroussia, how good that I met you. Wait for me, I need to call Tone. " He called a machine gun hanging inside the store, listed the cakes that were sold that day, and asked Tonya what to buy.

Then he bought cakes, and they left the store together. Mom went to us, and dad - to the tone. At the very beginning of the war, Maria Ivanovna and her children were evacuated to the Ivanovo region, to the city of Yuryevets, where relatives lived. A few years later, the family returned to Moscow. Mom worked as a proofreader in the first exemplary printing house, worked without turning hands, but sometimes poverty pressed too much.

In the year, Maria Tarkovskaya was given an order on a coat for a boy: drapovoy, on a cotton wool, with a fur collar. It was the beginning of winter, when Andrei came from school a striped one - a coat was stolen. By the evening, the temperature rose, he fell ill with tuberculosis, from which the whole and the beginning of the year was treated. In the hospital, Tarkovsky first tried his hand as an actor and director: he staged for small patients the play “Koshkin House”, in which he was a decorator, a costume, and a casting director.

As Tatyana Vysotskaya recalled, who also underwent treatment and played in the production of a cat, the success was great: all the staff gathered for the performance, came and “came” on the beds of the kids, there were other sick children. Andrei was very seriously treating his first performance, and was simultaneously a director, actor, artist and worker scene.

He chose the actors very accurately. He gave Maya Rosenbum the role of a rooster. She was tall, with long legs, still angular angular, with sharp movements. And we sang a romance with her at least where. After the success of the first performance, Tarkovsky took up the following - the play by Sergey Mikhalkov, the father of his future friend and co -author Andrei Konchalovsky, the Red Tie.

We tried very much and obeyed the "director." Made for a year due to illness, Andrei came to a new, 9-b class of the school, where Andrei Voznesensky also studied. The guys made friends, played football together. Much later, the poet will write the poem “Tarkovsky on the gate”. In addition to football, Andrei was more and more fond of amateur theater and studied worse. In the field of interests of Tarkovsky there were also cinema, he became a regular in Moscow cinemas, where, in addition to the Soviet ones, “trophy” films and musicals also showed.

An interview with Andrei Tarkovsky also loved to visit the conservatory, his absolute hearing was tuned to classical music. But there was no instrument at home, Andrei played the piano only at the music school, where his mother arranged it. Already being a famous director, Tarkovsky regretfully noted that he could become a musician if he continued his studies. But after school, despite the fact that he was going to become an actor, at the urgent request of his father he entered the Arab branch of the Moscow Institute of Oriental Studies.

Having studied the year, the young man took the documents, and later explained: the lesson of the Arabic was so painful, deprived of any feeling for me. Strange language. Grammar forms are formed mathematically. Why I entered the VGIK, I cannot understand. The commission did not want to accept me and Shukshin. They said: “Vasya Shukshin is a dark person who has not read Tolstoy and knows nothing at all, he is too uncouth.And we will not accept Tarkovsky because he knows everything.

” Before that, he almost broke his life, contacting a bad company.

Mom came to the rescue, who arranged her son in a geological party by a collector. He worked in Siberia for a year and finally decided that he would become a film director. He shot a short film on the basis of a real fact: Romm read out a note in the newspaper about the Kursk excavators who accidentally discovered shells remaining from the war, and gave the idea of ​​the plot. Mikhail Ilyich was trembling with gifted students, which was later recalled by Andrei Konchalovsky in his book “Low Truths”: on the course that Romm was recruited two years earlier, Vasya Shukshin, who was in a jacket, studied.

Only Mikhail Ilyich could see in this gloomy man, sailor, wonderful artist. Romm was often subjective, was mistaken in his assessments of films, in his forecasts for the future of cinema - he was never mistaken in people. Tarkovsky studied in the same course, who was also a lonely, ignored figure then. When Andrei and I began to write scripts, Romm patiently helped us. And our first scenario accepted by the studio - the “skating rink and violin”, which became Tarkovsky’s diploma, was helping to break through.

Subsequently, he helped a lot with Rublev. Already at the institute, Tarkovsky defined the main direction of the directorial work, acquired his own, unique features as a director. No wonder his thesis “skating rink and violin”, shot in, won the first prize at the festival of student films in New York. By that time, Andrei had already worked on the full -length military drama “Ivanovo Childhood”, taking the novice actor Nikolai Burlyaev to the main role of the novice actor.

The director did not expect that his first full -length picture would be such a success and would win about twenty different awards, including the Golden Leo of St. Mark in Venice. Remembering his trip to the festival in the year, Tarkovsky said: this news was completely unexpected for me. I still somehow still can’t believe everything that has done. There was a lot of interesting things.

Of course, I was primarily struck by the beauty of Venice. For the first time, I ran into a special festival audience, mainly aesthetic and indifferent, with the silent and strict jury members, who for a long time decided to award the awards. In the same year, the Soviet delegation visited the International Film Festival in the United States, where the painting “Ivanovo Childhood” received the Golden Gate prize for the best directing.

In his homeland, Tarkovsky was allowed to remove the “Andrei Rublev” project he had long been incurred by him. The original name “Passion for Andrey”. The main role in the film was dreamed by Vladimir Vysotsky and Innokenty Smoktunovsky, but the director approved the candidacy of Anatoly Solonitsyn, a little -known actor from Sverdlovsk. The diary entry of Andrei Arsenievich said in the year: in the film about Rublev, I least want to definitely restore the circumstances of the life of the monk Andrei Rublev.

I want to express the suffering and languor of the artist’s spirit in the form, as I understand them, based on the time and problems associated with our time. The film about the icon painter was ambiguously met in the Soviet Union. The filmed material of the artistic studio of the film studio literally drew in remarks: the protractedness of episodes, naturalistic excesses, little attention is paid to the work of Rublev.

The bureaucratic machine for several years slowed down the picture of the picture on the screens, but during this time it was somehow bought by the French film distributor Alex Moskovich, who showed the picture at the Cannes Film Festival. The full version of the tape was preserved only thanks to the editor of Lyudmila Feiginova, who hid the boxes on Mosfilm.

The audience was able to see the author’s version only in the year. The confrontation of the director and the authorities worsened - Tarkovsky was not allowed to shoot, he wrote scripts for others. Only in the year, fans again saw the new work of the master-the philosophical and fiction drama "Solaris" with Donatas Banionis and Natalya Bondarchuk in the lead roles.

The picture was awarded a special prize of the jury of the Cannes festival and other awards. The director’s confession was his next picture - the “Mirror” film is almost autobiographical, the script of Tarkovsky constantly corresponded during the filming. He invited Margarita Terekhova to the role of his young mother, and Maria Vishnyakova herself embodied her adult.

Father also participated in the film: the poet’s poems sounded behind the scenes. In the year, the last film was released on the screens, on which the director worked in the Soviet Union - Stalker. The script Tarkovsky wrote with the Strugatsky brothers. Again, it was not without problems-the money for the picture was allocated only after the personal order of Leonid Brezhnev, the film itself had to be re-re-relocated because of a technical error, and the artist again subjected the director to criticize.The director of Tarkovsky worked a lot abroad foreign work in the year Andrei Arsenievich concluded a contract with Italians to shoot a joint Soviet-Italian psychological drama “Nostalgia”, the script for which was written in Tonino Guerro.

He left for Italy and shot a penetrating, thin and bright film, which in the West was spoke only in excellent degrees. The protagonist was piercingly embodied on the screen Oleg Yankovsky. The picture won three awards of the Cannes festival, although there were rumors that the jury member Sergey Bondarchuk was leaning out so that the “nostalgia” would not receive a gold palm branch - the main prize of the festival.

At the end of the business trip, Tarkovsky wrote a letter to Goskino with a request to give him another time to live in Italy in order to "be more fully realized in creativity." Further, Andrei wrote to his father an answer to his letter with reproach that he was busy not on his own land. In particular, the director noted that he is not a dissident and is not going to leave Russia, but for more than twenty years he hardly worked for three or four years, because he was not allowed to shoot: the desire of the authorities to stagger my feelings in the mud means an unconditional and passionate desire, dreaming of them to get rid of me, to get rid of me and my work, which they do not need at all.

When I had a fifty anniversary, there was not only an exhibition, there was not even an announcement and congratulations in our cinematic journal, which is always done with each member of the Union of Cinematographers.
