Olga Pogodina: in the cinema I'm attracted to absolutely everything

"Three days in Odessa", "Chasing the angel", "In the rhythm of tango", "Kapkan" - this is only a small part of the filmography of Olga Pogodina. A young actress always knows what she wants and stubbornly goes to the intended goal. Now the scoring of the film "Distance" is over, in which the actress played the main character - Rita Zvonareva and simultaneously for the first time acted as a producer. The correspondent of "Vecherki" visited the actress.

"Are you so sentimental?"

- Very, there are pictures that look a lot of times and, reviewing, again crying. For example, the film "Havana" with Robert Redford on me has such an effect. - Olya, the story of "Distances" is based on the story of our Olympic champion Svetlana Masterkova. Have you known Svetlana for a long time? - Yes, they have known each other for five years. We were at Kinotavr, we were sitting in one of the seaside restaurants, and Svetlana and I had a heart-to-heart conversation. She told me the story of her life, since childhood. Immediately it became clear - this is a movie, and you do not have to invent anything. History in the mode of memories. - What caught you in the fate of the champion?

- Has hooked the tragedy because it is history of the person who, standing on a pedestal, weeps any more not from pleasure of a victory, and from loss of the liked person. A woman who wanted love, but as a result she remained alone. In this picture of the audience first of all, the human story of the heroine must touch, which, contrary to the circumstances, managed to become a legend.

- Is it difficult to be a producer of a film and simultaneously to star in the main role?

- Yes, there were certain contradictions. Suppose, as an actress, I would have made four takes, and as a producer, I could only allow two. But I do not regret that I entered this path. The picture, of course, was the hardest. Starting from finding money and ending with writing a script. I am grateful for the help and support of Mikhail Yuryevich Borshchevsky and Vyacheslav Alexandrovich Fetisov.

- Who is the director of the film?

- There are two of them: Boris Tokarev and Lyudmila Gladunko.

- And how do you develop relations with sports, do something?

- Unfortunately, I did not do this before. But before the shooting had a lot of training with the coach of our team Sergei Osipov. He praised me and inspired me to take a serious approach to sports.

- Wrote that you were seriously injured during the filming?

- Yes, it was like that. And I even had a trauma almost like Sveta, and even on the same foot. Only she had a rupture of the Achilles tendon, and I have a very strong stretching.

- How did you deal with such a trauma?

- It was unusually hard and very painful, because the peak of shooting fell just for the period of treatment. I was treated, did some unthinkable injections - I remember this time with horror. But I felt the warmth and friendly support of the athletes, they constantly helped me, reassured me, and I knew that I would run to the end.

- Svetlana Masterkova often appeared on the set?

- Yes, almost always. She was our consultant, she gave advice, showed and suggested a lot.

- Could you imagine yourself in some other profession, not related to the stage and cinema?

- I can not, absolutely for sure. Cinema for me is the meaning of life, a high disease.

- Are you going to try to direct yourself in directing?

- I thought about directing always and systematically go to it. Director - this is the greatest profession, you need to be able to touch a person with his vision of the world.

- In what ways are you with the theater?

- I have a "cool" relationship with the theater. The cinema interests me much more. It attracts me absolutely everything: the technological process, the ability to come up with something, to realize it. God grant that our cinema will continue to develop at such a pace.

- Which recent film made an impression on you?

- For a long time already nothing looked, there is no time. From last year's I was shocked by the film of Garik Sukachev's "Holiday". As a spectator, I just sat and sobbed.


- Which directors would you like to work with?

- I like working with director Alexei Pimanov. We understand each other well, we easily solve all creative and technical problems. Recently we worked with him on the painting "Three days in Odessa". I still had the strongest impression.

- Do you like the producer already have new projects?

- Yes. Now the work on the second film that I was producing is running out. The working title of the painting is "Mastering Life." Scenario Lena Rayskaya, and the film's director - Mikhail Shevchuk. Incredibly beautiful love story in twelve series. Russian version of "Gone with the Wind." I read the script and cried.

- When you all have time?

"I'm just doing work." With rest everything does not work out, seven years already did not rest.
