that football their movies what's your point of view how did you. would you estimate the suggestible because the press was pretty mousing over the in the russian press and the moon as a whole from about this election you know about the first thoughts of oh i thought i had the greatest time i saw brilliant movies we discovered this discovery i mean that i discovered. these three and four extraordinary films. utter luxury of being in a hotel room where i open the curtains and there's the red square every morning i got to see that with this beautiful weather the absolutely charming more lovely people. so i can't find any you. maybe afternoon something i know you've got about a movie. you were the chair of the jury so in last two criteria you yourself
9:34 am
introduced through for selection for judging no not at all i mean to me it had to be. it's you can't really rationalize emotion. went through. my eyes my heart my stomach my brain not necessarily in that order but the amazing thing was that the jury we were all very very different and we resort avoiding each other at the beginning and thinking oh boy this is going to be such a battle and everything and hey came the reunion we had all picked the same film. we were all absolutely. and that was incredible i mean i had and the math of the night before i was saying ok i want number one. special prize the jury prize to be the capital story and i want the best directed to be from the chinese film which is the hong kong for
9:35 am
no not in that article. you know and the only thing i can compare it to would be. say you're presented with this. chest the chest and is minutes full of treasures and you have all this wonderful jewelry in you taken there are this necklace and this necklace and this ring in this and this brace and it's all full of this treasure and suddenly there is this perfect pearl. and you take that out and that is the film. and then you take out. the amazing opulent full of jury magical rurally and necklace and that is the story and then you find this very strange but perfect design and you can have something something exotic about but it's such
9:36 am
artistry is so amazing that's the chinese film there's no other criteria and then it doesn't mean all the rest are fake now we had a couple of fakes that all. but they were. comparing it to a jury is not awful but. criterion. surprise that because you do have a special feeling to spain to everything spanish even speak in speak spanish we're going to mean. oh no but what we want to opinion spanish cinema today is really as different a special a spanish football but we can see with all different but what makes polish cinema so so so special. when the director is the director is underwritten and leaders and severe lack of value of. the produces i mean the crisis there's very little money.
9:37 am
well there's no money makes you think he's near then people know then people go for something that they're pretty sure that they're going to get long. for the first week and that's it and but this film is really a such a jewel and the amazing thing is that that the feel for the presley also gave that the first prize so it wasn't just because we spoke spanish and this is an. opinion that contemporary russians and which is which is also very much criticized when the russians say well these were the days when the soviet times when the russians did good movies what about today's russians you're personally you see a lot of them i saw two the two that were in competition and they were both f. ing brilliant the shopping toshio which we gave them a special jury prize to is a magnificent film it is full it is unbelievably funny it's
9:38 am
very sad it's very russian it is incredibly intelligent it tells four different stories and it tells them from different different as not different point of views but you see what yes it is when you see one story and then suddenly that story the other side of the story it is there's a beautiful images at one point you know the subtitles were very low and very tiny and suddenly the image didn't matter the images they take completely took over and . right now thinking i want to work with this guy this is an amazing film it is amazing the other spanish movie heart of boomerangs is very. very beautiful spanish version russian national interest and this is no russian you know special feeling to separate. lists it was. it's
9:39 am
a story of a young guy twenty three year old he works in the metro and the doctor says to me at the beginning of the movie you know you have this heart problem and you could die any second and how everything suddenly is transformed but not in an obvious way he tells no one doesn't tell his nom it doesn't tell his friends he doesn't tell his girlfriend he doesn't tell anyone but the filmmaker by showing it by staying a little longer than he should on this cup makes you feel that. maybe even of course this guy and into seconds they never see a cup again and the relationships change or become more. looking at the last moments of his life judy you have to part you played him in the number of movies that were nominated different systems
9:40 am
so you know this elan of being judged of the way he read what's more difficult to be judged judge for yourselves. can you compare again i'm not not about the word i mean i think the prizes are often often in this case not but often the prizes are certain. compromise i mean i've been in a lot of juries where. part of the jury is passionate about one film in another part is passionate about another film and so one chooses the first prize a film that sort of both people agree that they like so and then after insisting on down you know that really doesn't mean we get this consensus which is which is not good. in this in our case it wasn't like that we were all of the jury were absolutely passionate about these three films but in answer to your question. i don't know the festivals they're always when you go to a festival as a as
9:41 am
a participant in a film it's just just so overworked and it's so crazy and it's so you don't see and you don't don't get to see any movies all you do are interviews and selling the movie and you don't even have time to worry when people talk about sport this. isn't about. the best supposed selecting the women who will well be the first of all is about selecting the best movie or is it again about. who won this man it's just a certain thing that happens at a certain time i'm sure a lot of it has to do with what time the jury see the film how late they were up the night before. creepily after going to hear this yes which none of us went to over letterman but no i don't think i don't think it's i don't think it's the best i don't think it's it's those those words are all awful i mean we're looking for is movies and we're passionate about movies if you get into injury have to because otherwise it's. it's an uncomfortable drama as you say no
9:42 am
movies and you see and you learn and you learn from every movie that you see this is fun this is fun to be part of it is a good it's very hard work it's very hard work we saw. i'll tell you the number we saw thirty four hours and twenty minutes of movies. which but working in t.v. give you chose to to watch something on a d.v.d. and you hope solo no that wouldn't have everything go wasn't it that wouldn't be fair we have to be in the in the movie theater at a certain time and see it on the big screen with a public gaze a lot of the public yes yes prejudiced the reaction that i don't always totally understand them i don't think it is for me i think i'm going to get completely involved. in the film so the children chaplin chair of the early moscow it's national foster spotlight will be back shortly after

9:47 am
film for. children well we talked about a first about yourself what you actually started your acting career maybe not the career but to learn. when you sow the dancing classes in switzerland. and i wanted to be a ballet dancer because i fell in love with my sister in law who was a ballet dancer and i thought she was the greatest thing on earth and so i wanted to do i wanted to have her hairdo and so i went into dancing and then i fell in love with ballet ballet with michael and that was when you went to boarding school so it's all gone now so later i wasn't you know obviously i wasn't boarding school but my parents live nearby and i go to ballet class and you into the valley and i went to ballet classes and then i was a dancer and i was a professional dancer and then i worked for a while in the circus and trained elephants and then you trained the nose then then i but i think it's not as romantic as it sounds and so i don't know let's find a look for something easy it's interesting that you told me that because in some of
9:48 am
your interviews i heard that you had transposed so he was he was strongly against his children taking an active oh yes and you started for all the very for from a very early age being a ballet dancer so what is the only value or it was you know there. was ok well you never thought i'd be that serious about it i was fourteen when i started which is a bit late now he wanted his children's to have his children to have decent professions like doctor lawyer and dentists says a lot of the engineers would have been ok marty tax would have been ok but actor no that's the pits and so. that i left home i care about did i leave home or was i thrown out i'm not quite sure i either left home or i was thrown away out of the seventeen and and went into ballet and went to the world of the school and became a dancer and although i danced really beautifully in my head. promoting never. oh i was soon without
9:49 am
a job and i thought well let's look for something easy with a name like kaplan hey i can get a job last. year you were thrown learn to live we should we should watch the chaplin movie once again to see how it happened the question i want to ask you many people today they know your family your father. from the film. i know anything about charles chapman you played in them you played your own ground so how quickly i love this movie myself but how adequate is the food from your point of view is chaplin himself when you watch this movie was it really do. you know. i thought robert downey jr was absolutely extraordinary but i don't know if that was daddy i was born when my father was already of rice haired. i've got to know him when he must have been about
9:50 am
sixty five or so and it was all you see you see. from a child around the little tramp in the movies with this guy with dark hair when curly hair and it had nothing to do with my father my father was charlie chaplin and the tramp tramp and so i don't know if that's a good portrayal of not. but it's certainly a very attractive one of the longer the movie as long as because it was a long life. you played your first role. mistaken in language i was an extra yeah what was your first impression when you when you first came to know how it's made and that i'm doing the work. i had no idea i was eight years old. i was just so happy not to have to go to school. and then we had to go to school anyway because that was a law that you have to have classes that but i so yes i saw. reconstructive london
9:51 am
and it was ok it was cool but it was nothing i wasn't old enough to really. the curious and appreciate just up. one of the greatest movies in which used on the was a was the room of tanya emotion reefs wife in the. oh well really great movie but there were later versions on the same movie and clued in the russian version we have a jealous other versions of the no i didn't know i didn't know i was. somewhere i got where i've come in where journalists are really said hey you know they're making. a t.v. version of i think with keira knightley and grapes you know. it's a compliment if they're remaking it they're remaking it it means the story is still good and gives a chance to other people i didn't know there was a russian one oh i'll be interesting to see that. there's
9:52 am
a lot of talk about the tolkien killing the. cinema do you do you share this opinion do you think. that the sound in the movies killed the whole era to which you were. not at all no i think that. my father was very brave he made city lights and sounds and you know he really was . but. did the straw a lot of activists whose voices had nothing to do with what the public thought i mean they were the lucky ones that have been voices. but it did destroy a lot of people's careers. your daughter also become. what do you think about your children following your belief would still i'm indignant. i want them to have decent professions. law you know really is
9:53 am
a no no you really have you know that's what she wants but i said to her the first you know advice is you have to be able to take rejection because if you. if you're lucky and you go to if you go to one hundred auditions and you're lucky you're going to be rejected ninety nine times while you were you harbored the daughter of. the chaplain and it's also the same for you you also go kill you had to go two hundred all day i was lucky i was lucky the chapter name opened every door for me i mean i was so i've been so lucky all my life really did you enjoy being his i loved it really i think i got through school and you know i got to school i would make friends this is awful i would make friends with the girl who was the head of the class who was the cleverest and i and i say if you let me copy your latin exam i'll take you to my house and you can be charlie parker. and that's
9:54 am
why that's where my study was so i am totally ignorant but i can't be all the girl and my mother would say this very strange france this is with the glasses this studious tells us they tell i that's how i got to school that's and i mean it's really like my father was so loved so well will you look you know because you go charlie chaplin i think you're lucky because you managed to become something yourself not just being his daughter i hope not i hear i've hoped that just because of the way also the granddaughter of a famous playwright nobel prize winner his name's o'neil. in this part of the world people usually ask you about. the united states those who chat with those last year only is that true yes i mean they do know happened but they're much more familiar with it as everyone has studied him in school and because the one dollar stamp is eugene o'neill oh really i used to collect instead of family photos family stamps.
9:55 am
because there's a charlie chaplin there's a check of that that is now. an english as i don't know and then. the one dollar stamp in the states i said i open up my little thing and i say this is my family they're all stance it's not a stamp collection because she you you know. the renaissance of cinema the first steps of some of the i mean you know and no today you have to watch a lot of very models and three d. . it's all those new technologies computer technologies and stuff soon question about these. new high tech is going to come and do they bring something good into the cinema or do they kill something good oh well i don't know i saw three d. for the first time here in moscow a million transformers yes it's quite amazing i mean yes i think maybe oh apparently this. film about. him was reading and that ought to be
9:56 am
research alice in wonderland in three d. . as a matter of fact we right now are sitting in this bar it's a movie theater in the central moscow where they have been showing soviet movies for the last like thirty years why should a three d. is something new or i don't mean it is a i think being a perfectionist i remember the three days oh you had you had one one grass which was red and run. and we even had snow movies where. the hero would be walking through a. field of flowers. and the sequel when i was lauer i like our boys movies . so so so do you think do you think movies need that. he has been you can't be against new technology whatever i mean. and stupid to say the movies are movies only when they're done no way you know. i have yet to see
9:57 am
