July 13 marks the 80th anniversary of the birth of Belarusian director, screenwriter and operator Yuri Marukhin. Lyudmila Saenkova, a candidate for Belarusian philology, told TUT.BY why Belarussians should be proud of Marukhin and how he changed the national cinema. The text is illustrated with photographs taken from the Belarusian state archives of films and photographic documents
Yuri Marukhin was born on July 13, 1938 in the Ryazan region
– He was born in a remote village. He was a hungry military man, he was raised by practically a mother. But he has become one of the most cultured, educated and exquisite masters of cinematography. He was very sensitive to the plasticity of the frame and very clearly framed this frame.
On "Belarusfilm" Marukhin started working in 1960, two years before graduation of VGIK
– If Marukhin as an operator did not create anything such paintings, as the "Oriental Corridor", " The Black Sun "," The Lion's Tomb "," Wait for me, Anna ", it would have stayed in the history of our cinema, not just ours. It has unforgettable frames in these films, they are still in my memory, "notes Lyudmila Saenkova.
According to her," The Eastern Corridor "is a film not only directed by Valentin Vinogradov, but, of course, the operator Yuri Marukhin
– At some point (the photo was taken in 1966, a limited rental took place in 1968, after which the photo was no longer displayed.) – Comment TUT.BY) .This image rested on the shelf, because in its exquisite stylistic it was not not at the height of time, and this style beside Vinogradov was created by Yuri Marukhin. 59008] Some critics even called his camera in this "crazy" photo. To make the camera very mobile, Yuri has found many tips. He used cables, with which he literally flew on the shelf without insurance. With the artists, they created a black and white scale, which had its own philosophy. It was a really black and white film in color. He felt this graphic, as he had specially created several shades of black and white to play these colors. This visual beauty can not be forgotten. It is the beauty that has completed and transmitted the whole tragedy of the situation.
According to Lyudmila Saenkova, Yuri Marukhin was overwhelmed by the aesthetics of Expressionism
– In the movie "The Lion's Tomb", on which he was working with young Valery Rubinchik, there was an episode where the prince wanted to take the main character. Marukhin took it as an expressionist parable. It is in this style that the "Oriental Corridor" was made.
– In general, critics believed that in this image Marukhin was anticipating the style of Alexei Herman the eldest (Khrustalev, car!) And Lukino Visconti (The Death of the Gods). This does not mean that Visconti was monitoring the "Oriental Corridor". Although who knows … But the stylistic of the "Oriental Corridor" has undoubtedly influenced later film-aesthetic researches.
Since 1984, Marukhin, without leaving the camera, has become a director of feature films. He has four films: Radunitsa (1984), The man who took an interview (1986), Mother of Hurricane (1986, based on the play of Vladimir Korotkevich) and The Weekend with the murderer (1992).
] Lyudmila Saenkova highly appreciates Marukhin's camera work. But I am convinced that his films have always "felt the desire to convey the drama of a person."
– He balanced between the reality and the form of the parable. The parable was particularly heated
What kind of person was Yuri Marukhin?
– A man of very great nature. Very lively, emotional, he lived, as they say, "on the rupture of the aorta". Marukhin was an esthete for life, loved the beautiful in the highest sense of the word. He was a man precisely not this, not our time, but rather a man of the 1960s. He never had what is called "pragmatism", "cynicism".
Yuri was the first operator to take Minsk from a bird's point of view. There are pictures in which he sits almost on the steps of a helicopter and fires at Minsk. The authors of a documentary film about Minsk, broadcast on the screens for the 50th anniversary of the BSSR: the director N.Zamchinskaya, the sound engineer B.Shangin and the director-cameraman Yu.Marukhin in the vision room of the Minsk Extension Studio and chronic documentary films. 19 "border =" 0 "data-zoom =" 1 "height =" 647 "hspace =" 0 "src =" https://img.tyt.by/n/kultura/06/c/yuriy_marukhin6.jpg "title = "The authors of the documentary film about Minsk, broadcast on the screens for the 50th anniversary of the BSSR: director of the film N.

He loved life incredibly, and it seems to me that life has loved him too. It was one of the most caring and smiling people I knew. Among people working in the cinema, you do not often see such an open person. Even at the worst moments of life when the illness was felt, he never lost his mind and always smiled.
Since 2001, the film festival "Listapad" has been awarded the Yuri Marukhin Prize. In 2013, he received Lucas Zal and Ryszard Lenchevsky, who shot the movie "Ida". Later, he gets the Oscar for best foreign language film
According to Lyudmila Saenkova, Yuri Marukhin's creativity and techniques are studied in many film schools around the world
