The film based on S. Marshak's fairy tale "To be afraid of grief is not to see happiness" was completed at Belarusfilm Studio by director Viktor Turov. Here's what he says about his new job.
— Storytellers live in the world, they live and tell their stories, sad and funny, simple and wise. That no fortress is afraid of the brave, that goodness is stronger than evil, that lies will not overcome the truth, and love will certainly lead to happiness. And the good wizard Samuel Yakovlevich Marshak lives among these storytellers, who generously gives his fairy tales "about teremok" to all new Serezha and Natasha, about skilled craftsmen, about brave soldiers who are not afraid of anything in the world.
Recently, I came across Marshak's fairy tale, which is familiar to everyone, "To be afraid of grief is not to see happiness." I read it and think: it would be nice to make a fun holiday out of it and invite everyone big and small to it. But it was very scary to take on the script: after all, this "fairy tale comedy" was staged by many theaters, including the famous Vakhtangov. And then I decided simply, in Marshak's way: to be afraid of failure is not to see luck! And immediately the buffoons appeared, set up a booth, reinforced the scenery, dressed up in bright clothes, painted their faces, beat the drum and ... began! And among them are all the heroes of Marshak's fairy tales: roosters, croaking frogs, generals and kings, evil and good wizards, merchants and lumberjacks, soldiers and craftsmen. So the people have gathered, they ask to show a performance. Well, if you want, you're welcome! And a fairy tale began to flow about how Grief and Misfortune went around the world, people did not live,"and the Russian soldier Ivan Tarabanov defeated him, the tsars and generals who let Grief spread through the earth, for this he smeared him hard. The fairy tale is over. The curtain came down. The artists came out, tired and exhausted. They bow, waiting for the people to say; did they like the performance?
In this film, I want to tell about acting, the miracle of art, and the beauty of folklore through a fairy tale shown by means of a splint, a Russian primitive. To recall those traditions that have long lived in the art of fairground booths.
The actors involved in our film will live in two dimensions, as it were, in a fairy tale and in life, and therefore will play two roles each: the host and the general, the prop boy and the tsar, etc. Since there were no actresses in the Russian farce, and all the female roles were played by men, Anfisa and Nastya, who They were in Marshak's fairy tale, and they became our prop master's daughters. They are played by Evgenia Vorobyova and Natalia Sabelnikova. The rest of the roles are played by K. Adashevsky, B. Babkauskas, A. Masyulis and others. Buffoons dance to the songs of the composer O. Yanchenko, written on the poems of R. Burns. It was not by chance that we chose Burns, because Marshak also gave him to us. And these songs will be performed by a wonderful ensemble of Belarusian songwriters.
When making this film, I had another hidden dream. I sometimes hear that I can make films related to the war, with the difficult times of my generation. I was once told that you can work in a serious genre, but a light one is not about you. And I wanted to see for myself if I could really create a funny, funny, comedic and at the same time serious film.
