Having removed the youth thriller “Vise”, the talented avant-garde director is preparing a large-scale musical about dudes. The paintings are fundamentally different genres. This is his credo: to do something new all the time and, moving forward, develop. This movement (towards oneself) was also reflected in those personal shots that Valery Todorovsky commented on for Psychologies.
Valery Todorovsky 44 years old. He made such sensational films as “Love”, “Country of the Deaf”, “Lover”, “My half-brother Frankenstein”. Produced TV series Brigada, Idiot, Master and Margarita and many others on the Rossiya TV channel.

“I am the same Odessa yard boy who has been trying all his life to change, to jump over something or jump further. I live in constant anxiety, as if something is wrong with me or around me. If you try to define globally, then the whole life for me is the path of self-liberation. Not because I was or remain not free. It’s about being yourself – just the way you are. Be in touch with your own sensations, feelings and aspirations. Find a balance between “want” and “should”. Often the world around us is a tough and aggressive story called “you have to”. We are told about it at work, the country says, women and children, friends say. But at some point a person needs to realize his “want”. For me, that’s the main question.” “Scrupulousness is a hereditary quality” “During the terrible famine in Ukraine (in the early 30s), when people ate people, my paternal grandfather was the head of the food warehouse.
