"Maxim, the series is removed on the novel of Dostoevsky. Some are afraid to take away even for his books, and here it was to move the complex literary work on the screen. What thoughts did you take for this job?
- I love Fedor Mikhailovich very much, and especially this work. I wanted to somehow solve him, dig in him. In this sense, I did not specifically focused on other filmms, especially since Vladimir Ivanovich had his vision of the novel and, as it seems to me, very interesting. It was, of course, a certain adrenaline and fear in relation to future work, but at the same time a big excitement, as can be done. I read many times and re-read the novel, found some kind of my moves, means of expression. So the work was carried out with great pleasure.
- The name of Vladimir Khotinenko, probably, also played a big role?
- Certainly. I am very glad that I was able to play in his cinema. Conditions on the site were different, sometimes severe, but all the time he was supported.
"It seems to me that he with special care picked up the acting team: very bright personalities embodied the same bright characters. How do you think everything came out?
- Absolutely. We had a very long rehearsal period, we have met for a very long time, separately pronounced every scene that everyone can bring there, and the partners felt a big excitement and the desire did not fall into the dirt face. At the same time, Vladimir Ivanovich said: "I want it to be embodied easily." In these difficult texts of Dostoevsky, there was a lightness and liveliness. Partners were insanely helped. With Anton Stegin, for example, we have long known, so we have a certain inner limit of confidence in each other. Well, when the team arises admired by colleagues on the site. Such a moment was.
- What are you especially remembered by these 35 days of shooting?
"It seems to me that everyone who read the" demons ", in one way or another several scenes are postponed in the mind, which are essentially canonical. Each scene at Fedor Mikhailovich is a limit of psycho-emotional existence and tension. And when such scenes are removed several per day - it is very hard.
- Now all the publications came out with reviews. What ratings do you agree with what - no?
"I can say one thing: I answer this movie for each second of its existence in the frame. And I can be responsible for everything that seemed by the audience.
