Matilda phenomenon

On Monday evening, in one of the cinemas of Vladivostok, a show of the film “Matilda” about the love story of the Ballerina of the Kshesinsky and last Russian emperor Nicholas the Second will be held. The film will be presented to the audience himself, Alexei Teacher himself, as part of the Meridian of the Pacific.

"Attention! Safety measures will be strengthened, so we ask you to come to a session by 20.00 in order to have time to sit in the hall on time. The director of the film will personally bring the only copy of the film for the show in Vladivostok and take away with him. Do not miss the opportunity to be the first to see an ambiguous tape and form your own, close opinion to you. The number of tickets is limited, ”the cinema representatives in their Instagram account said.

Tickets for the show - and there were about 400 of them - the inhabitants of Vladivostok were bought in one day, writes Interfax . The price of one place in the cinema for the premiere was from 350 to 700 rubles. Cinema will be shown simultaneously in four halls.

The PrimaMedia agency reports that Metropolitan Veniamin called for the Veniamin to pray to believers for the abolition of the film show. In an open letter, he called the painting “Evil that was approaching Russia that has not yet released on large screens”.

The deputy of the State Duma of the Russian Federation Natalya Poklonskaya, who said that even the choice of the date - September 11, was sacrilege, is a sacrilegious, because “This day is an expression of the sorrow of Christians about the violent death of the great prophet John the Baptist, the Behability of his Head, the day of a strict post.”

“In this regard, the chosen date of the so -called“ premiere ”reveals the purpose of the Matilda project - a frank encroachment on the spiritual essence and memory of Russia, as if the continuation of the ritual of the 20 years ago, during which the entire royal family was brutally killed. In addition, A.E. The teacher is silent about what is the defendant in the claim for the protection of the honor and dignity of the holy royal family, where I am the plaintiff by proxy from the authorized person. And he, as the defendant, should be known about the requirement to impose interim measures in the form of a ban on showing a film, ”Poklonskaya wrote on her Facebook account , threatening the teacher with new claims.

It is interesting that on the eve of the premiere, the performer of the role of Count Vorontsov, the popular actor Danil Kozlovsky said that Nicholas I was supposed to play, but the image was “beyond its best”.

“Where I am and where is Nicholas II. I understood that I could not do it convincingly and reliably. Still, we are very different, ”Kozlovsky explained during the direct broadcast in the public of the film on the VKontakte social network. The role ultimately went to Lars Auder, an actor from Germany.

The release of Matilda in wide rental is scheduled for October 23, 2017, but the special scenes will take place before that. In addition to Vladivostok, they will earlier see a film in St. Petersburg, where the tape will be shown as part of the annual International Professional Forum “Cinema EXPO-2017”, which will be held in the northern capital from September 19 to 22. The audience will be representatives of the largest filming and director of cinemas.

However, there are regions of the Russian Federation, where Matilda is not going to show at all. For example, in the Kemerovo region, 88 municipal cinemas refused to rent. This became known after Kemerovo’s appeal to the local authorities with a demand to prohibit the show of the film by Alexei Teacher - her letter was published in the section of the Department of Culture and National Policy of the Kemerovo Region. The official response of the department is also posted there.

“The repertoire planning and rental of films in the municipal film facilities of the Kemerovo region is under the jurisdiction of the State Autonomous Culture Institution“ Kuzbasskino and Kuzbassino ”does not plan to show the film“ Matilda ”,” the department of the department signed by its director Larisa Zauervain says.

Earlier, the authorities of Chechnya and Dagestan turned to the Ministry of Culture in their regions, the department promised to take into account their request, RIA Novosti recalls.

Interestingly, the film will be released in Belarusian rental. So the commission of the Ministry of Culture of the Republic of Belarus decided. “The picture is rich, solid and very beautiful. There is an artistic fiction in it, but there are no seditions, ” the AiF quotes the conclusions of the commission.

Opponents of the film, including The so -called “tsarboaters” previously promised to arrange arson of Russian cinemas, where Matilda shows will be held. Recently, attacks were attacked both by Alexei Teacher, and on the cinema in Yekaterinburg, where in October it was planned to show his tape.
