hello again or welcome to spotlight. on our team time now we're not and today i'm lucky to introduce a new russian film called the salamanders. luckier than me because she was among the first few to see the movie. the mystical drink of life so let's join her at the site of the premiere in downtown moscow hi well i should say that i'm lucky to be here today at the october cinema as i have a chance to taste some oh except while i can get to yes just the world for me a program for the cell a man to keep. well here where they still exist. it tastes like shit but anyway bill that sort of life is central to the films. one of the lead rules is . a famous section movie star he's obviously to do it by the russian audience

especially the male members of it has been on screen for such a long time very popular has a great sigh fine action movie star i like him this is a great actor and love him since childhood fury well you know it was everything for us he's cool. he used to be a very popular actor some time ago it's a pity we don't see him very often on screen these days he's a brilliant actor. it was the nine hundred seventy three turkish delight during he who off story often described as the best dutch film ever made would go how about actor internationally known the success played his way to hollywood in one thousand nine hundred to hate pete and probably his most famous role as an eccentric replicant in ridley scott science fiction through a blade runner. he was at the peak of popularity as an action movie star from the soviet union collapsed film starring how workers were part of the first wave of

hollywood productions to flow into the conference room or when we invited i was absolutely shouldn't be a certain barrier between us after all i grew up watching these movies and we immediately found common ground between them to be a pleasure working with. rude good howard is not the only stopped appearing in the solomon dickey which is premier today one of the characters is played by another hollywood tough guy michael madsen the movie also marks the big screen debut for a russian heavyweight mixed martial artist for. the seller mother is a brutal action movie it's working title was the fifth execution but the director says it's also was psychological drama but to get the idea of what it really is you only have to go to the cinema and see for yourself. thank you thanks that was you know it to me the sharing her impressions of what is promised to be the russian blockbuster of the year so let's follow her advice and go to the act sabot

a movie theater where behind the wings were joined by are all together how are ready to share his impressions hello mr howard and welcome to our program thanks thanks for being with us. so the salamander key has just been released and you played what i would call a significant role in this movie so did you really enjoy it but see well. that's the film only has me like i play this business man who has and some of us who runs you know because basically it has to do with. fact that they found they found a sort of a form of rejuvenating and so it if you go and you get younger and younger or let's put it in very simple terms you would go as you could would grow old this fast

and of course you know that's that's not a bad thing to discover and. and to to try and sell it to people because. they would need surgery just you know a way and and. so but there's of course there's like a war you start a war at the same time because everybody wants it. and then at the same time which was one of my favorite scenes also was that he discovers that one of his scientists is also. discovered a new disease that will be cured by the same thing he's discovered a virus that can only be stopped by using the same. pill. and he. he so he discovers that he has two businesses now.

and that's pretty dangerous and pretty sick. last year you said you were going to open the film school in st petersburg russia how's it going did you manage to overcome all the bureaucratic a hospital of the of the the red tape on the way all this for this project of yours well i worked with st petersburg where university and did a workshop there and. they were hoping to set up. it wasn't related it was different it was like a different bunch of people who wanted to try and set up a school for filmmakers i didn't hear back from them so i don't think it's happening but we were trying to see if we could but i'm doing it anyway but it's not it's not based in

a city necessarily i am putting this school filmmakers on the internet and i am dreaming about shooting films through the internet. shooting them through the and it be fantastic. i'm going to shoot the short film this year and i will add it to the internet so you know it's like a conference but editing. a video conference but editing what do you mean. just look at the added look at an added together with a co-director and look at the go and then you know say we talk about the you know differences and what you feel is wrong. this is the future we can sit in in the in new york and we can edit it and we can shoot movies and we can you know do all kinds of things was this the reason why you were going to open that film school in russia i wanted to see if there was

a i wanted to see and looking for links but the link is nothing a link is a link but if if there's a connection that becomes real then i can work with it i'm hoping to to do a workshop and poland because they are ready to take me or in denmark one of the two this year. and then the link then link them up with a few other countries who will shoot the same always while we're shooting but they need to organize themselves they need to have a you know it's not a big deal we're doing a short film it's simple but we'll do interactive stuff see how they are doing and in a way that becomes a study of how dear friend you know one short film is shot by different people in different countries and it's you know you can learn a ton of things over that time the things as

a filmmaker if you have eyes you can you know so that's fun and the internet gives us that possibility and i think be interesting to see what we come up with you once said that you really studied one aspect only want to aspect of acting in film making and it's about truth did the status last play a significant role in your from a shit as an act no. i'm kidding i i don't think there is i think everybody can act ok and of course you can do training it doesn't matter what it is you do but by the end the day when i see you in front of the screen i don't care what you train but i love it i want to see i want to i want to believe what you tell me and what what i see you do and if you came from the left or the right it is a matter of me my school and training come from shooting movies i did the acting

school did not learn anything there what i did learn in acting school. was that i didn't i was of the stage actor i realized slowly that sea interacting was great for other people but i felt completely uncomfortable took me four years to practice as a theater actor so i spent four plus four eight years training myself thinking i can't do this i'm not sure why i don't know why i feel uncomfortable it's not their fault ok then i got the chance to do a television series and then i went this. is it. ok. i just knew that i was not i did not have the right ingredients for stage

the difference is very simple. this i don't know why but this system does not want me so the actor to project. the projection goes. in front of the lens. so i'm not going to just write there if you do it too far it's over that's the truth it's an illusion but it's the illusion that we are you know together in stage everything has to become like. this you know and i really feel it's sort of like a concentration it opens up and in film i feel that the concentration sort of goes into a sort of a quiet place not always but as an idea so you bring it down for anybody and any actor i can say you can do all the same things you wanted to do but bring

him inside because people read. people who have read it not all but you don't need all people you want the people who are the same frequency. more or less anyone. you want to know keep it open they call it mysterious. to me is that mysterious but i think open is finding the mystery starts on the other side for me you know that side that side that side . says it all got power actor and director spotlight will be back shortly after a break so stay with us will continue in less than two minutes. well

welcome back to squawk like i'm mildly norvin just a reminder that my guest today is i don't get it how are the famous actor director who's joining us live from the moscow movie theater where the first show of the movie the salamander key has just and it mr harwood in the nineteen seventies off to turkish delight sand a soldier of orange you were rated the best actor in the netherlands you enjoyed a well deserved all european reputation so why did you decide to move jahi wood well i didn't go to hollywood basically the i got a chance to get into. english language work as an actor because i spoke english enough let's put it that way. and so we have what you need to if you go into this is not

a hollywood hollywood style waiting for me hollywood still not waiting for me hollywood doesn't exist for me i'm a filmmaker that's not all the way they make certain films. that take me years to take they take years to do that. but that's not to me that's not where we live. it's just a different sized product and it's safe and dangerous it's not too sweet not to salt not too much blood but the lit so it's like. it's almost like you know i can't swim team your jacket those those that's hollywood movies they need to have millions of people to watch them to get their money back by that nature it means you have to tell very same stories how once a stories i want dangerous stories i want to pick your brain pick your hard

tickle you but i don't want to do and say save for is safe is in the office or something and this is not the same profession you have to take enormous chances and do it gladly you know. well you played many notes to many take place characters like they choose for example your role in the hitchers how does it feel to play a sadistic crow for such a compassionate person as you are it's no but it's a keno. if you read a book and a writer writes like a dark story that you know it's not the this is not the writer it's not the painter who's crazy because he paints a crazy painting it's a different animal it's a different language the stories that we tell come from somewhere else i mean actor

and the tool. i'm just a tool i don't even you know the director can look through my eyes and i'll look with it. since you know that you just take a character it's that. simple explaining. it's like a little puzzle it's a digital puzzle it's not a house you're not building a house but you're creating a character in a movie that's all we do and it has a beginning a middle and an end you know how it ends in life we never know how it yet what we know it ends but we don't know how we know what this is really so it's a simple package and this puzzle i think is really it's almost like quality. i look at it like. you know it's very childish in the way i play i play with. sand. as that's how i put together

a. director of course is right in there i say do you like this and this is basically a blade runner this is my key the key thing in blade runner that i learned other than the having a great time was if you have if you make a recipe for a character that the director feels is right then this recipe will make it as full as you can. and then it will come out in different scenes as part of the character we can be all the time so as part of the character will come out and i think it's a great way of. preparing for a role where you just go ok where is the salad bowl let's put some salt in. i do x l ok morsel so it's like a salad you know characters really like a salad and then the scene will basically and the director will basically

let things come out that are more important than the scene but is there a rule that you would never play. it's art also you know it happens and would i refuse art no. i have no problem in saying no to something if i don't like it i don't feel i need to analyze why i don't like it i can but no wiese no it's simple when it what's interesting is if you have two great projects that are yes yes' he can do a both. so you have to choose the one. but that's where it gets that's where it gets interesting are the easy part is no no creates space and i don't know why it is so hard for people to learn to say no. to best thing started when you're five you know daddy.

you know. because it creates yes you know. it's create the room for something else to come along and go you can do this but you know i think everybody starts with a no don't thing but i did it for a long i said i think i worked on no four like i know that on the hansard for instance and that was eighty five who works with eighty four maybe. it's really you know yes eighty four. so i was eighty four so i was forty years old and i'd done like thirty movie forty movies and i'd been saying. i don't like this i don't like this i don't like this this is not that world there's a thought that character this is not a good character ever i was like a dog for forty years. and i was fighting everything my so. you know and it's not fair thing unfair to fight yourself that was but so i turned

around a little bit funny you know when i was shooting minutes or i decided to work in a different way. i don't know why i just got tired of. well according to your biography you've been saying no since childhood yeah i was in it's a natural but that's a teenager instinct i mean everybody says no for like ten years or seventeen but then when the testosterone is coming and you go you know you have somewhere to go let's say but it's the revolution no is the revolution but. i was busy samael two months basically i think and basically my my and she was in everything i didn't like that's typical teenager i don't like this i don't like you know of course my know basically was that i knew something to do my know always was this is no so is this no then this is next most

people sland stay here but i always went ok if this is not nice then i'll go there and i'm a natural traveler period you know i travel i used to i move otherwise i wouldn't be here would you say no to modern movies or colleges like the three d. for example no why not. know it the answers will be given by. how it's used i'm doing a film in three d. in new know. with. gentle dracula three d. why drug killers three d. it's done for him today has been done fifty three times i think well why not you know see i think it would be very scary to say the least is that your passion for

experiments. it's the passion in my passion for yeah it is and of course you know diary is just not you know not it's a very interesting guy to work with and then the whole the whole dracula thing i love it i think it's you know it's like dracula again ok why not he lives forever don't you know but in three d. and three d. i'd like to see what i did it's definitely an experiment to see if it's true or as bill said. is it just another trick or is it really work because i have serious doubts but i think it might work for some projects but i also think that basically it's millions of dollars have been pushed into trying to make you believe. filmmakers and as audiences it's three d. is just brilliant because they i think the big studios have about seven more coming

and they need to come you had they need you to come to see the movies so they're promoting this idea and they didn't have anything else because they were right just strikes going on there was a crisis gone they didn't have the stories they like they were scared shitless and i think that's why they're promoting this reading is just two cameras there's not it's not a big deal. we had we can shoot you know seventy in this room was with seven ship cameras and you yourself would you make a film in three d. and three you know by the time i get there it will be five d. and the canon five d. is fine i prefer that camera still because it's so flexible and this camera has limits any camera has limits and we have limits so you work with the limits but it's all make believe anyway nothing is perfect who cares about

perfect perfect people you know. well let's stay alive thanks for being with us you're welcome ok. thank you and just a reminder that my guest today was not altogether howard actor and film director and that's it for now from all of us here if you want to have your say on spotlight or have someone in mind you think i should interview next time to drop me a line that powder not at our t.v. dot are you and let's keep spotlights interact we'll be back with more for us than common found what's going on in and outside russia until then a stay on our sea and take care.
