The chance to return to the screens of the film Oleg Dorman "Interlinear" about Liliana Lungina

MOSCOW. A chance to return Oleg Dorman’s film “Interlinear” about Liliana Lungina.

The director’s refusal of the well-deserved TEFI award for the documentary Interlinear five years ago was mixed. The reason for the protest was the offense of Dorman on those who for more than 10 years did not find a place in the broadcasting network for Liliana Lungina’s unique memoirs. Philologist, polyglot, brilliant conversationalist. She learned French as a child, being with her mother in Paris. Brilliant German gave her Berlin, where in the mid-1920s her father was sent on a long trip.

Lungina called herself a cosmopolitan product, not attaching importance to her nationality. The company of anti-Semitism, the savage "doctors’ case" made us think about it. The fifth point was an insurmountable obstacle to getting a job related to French. The knowledge of Swedish and other Scandinavian languages helped out. Thanks to her, Soviet children were able to get acquainted with Carlson, Peppy and other characters of the Swedish writer. Lindgren considered her translations to be standard, which allowed her to accurately convey the characters of her shy and touching characters. This assessment equally applies to virtuoso work on the works of Böll, Ibsen, Hauptmann, Azhar, Vian. Her book Les saisons de Moscou was written in French - a bizarre and vibrant mosaic of events, characters, stories of public characters and ordinary people.

“Interlinear”, shown only once in 2009, gave millions of people an acquaintance with a wise, friendly and fantastically erudite interlocutor. An honest monologue about the life of his family and a country that has experienced a huge number of tragedies, about spiritual nobility and betrayal. Without hysteria, grumbling, sincere and calm. A full participant in the film was music that recreates the atmosphere of the era. The one that little Liliana heard in Berlin and Paris, works by Soviet composers who entered her life in adulthood. In order for “Interlinear” to return to the screen, for its appearance on disks, the use of this music must be legalized. To raise funds, the director is forced to resort to crowdfunding. The relevance of this documentary series over the past 7 years has only increased.
