Theater and film actor Vladimir Gostyukhin explained two reasons for the appearance of “evil war films” on Russian screens. The artist talked about this in an interview. aif.ru.
“For one, our cinematography is set to American standards. We now have a producer’s movie without the original director. Although even now there are directors who are given the opportunity to shoot what they want and know how to do it. Secondly, films were made by those who went through the war in Soviet times: Alexander Stolper, Sergei Bondarchuk … This is very important, ”said Gostyukhin.
He divides cinema into three categories according to the actor: art, cinema and “cinema”. And Gostyukhin believes that the last thing in modern cinema is more common. “They cook a lot and I see this cooking. There is little time to prepare for the shoot, the shooting schedule is terrible. Work for wear and tear. It’s not creativity, it’s hard work. This is why the movie often seems unfinished,” he said.
