Ballerina Elizaveta Taranda admitted in an interview passion.ruThat she auditioned for the role in the movie “Big” by Valery Todorovsky.
Taranda reported disapproval. She also noted that her conversation with Todorovsky made her look at ballet-related work in a different way.
“People want to watch people living in an unconventional environment, not the right tandu batman or competent throwing of the ball into the ring,” the artist said.
Taranda added that she considers the interview with Todorovsky her main “journalistic triumph.” While she was working on her diploma, she got a comment from him. The actor admitted that he collected valuable and special material before the release of the movie “Big”. According to the ballerina, Todorovsky’s task was to make a feature film that showed “a contradictory world full of its own drama”.
Valery Todorovsky’s film “Big” was released on May 11, 2017. It tells the story of a young country girl’s rise to the stage of the Bolshoi Theater.
Previously Todorovsky was contacted for the first time after the death of his wife Evgenia Brik.
