Citizen of the Russian Federation. Mother, Kuzina Valentina Stepanovna, an accountant and an insurance agent, raised her son without a father. During his studies in the boarding school, he made two abstracts on astronomy and cosmology: “General theory of relativity of Einstein” and “Theory of the stationary universe Fred Hoyle and Dialectics”, for which he was awarded the city Olympiad in physics.

With the director of the "experimental cinema studio" of the Lviv Palace of Culture of railway workers. Participating in the regional film amateur film amateur competition, he was awarded the second jury award for a short film "Oda to Joy" 4 minutes, 16 mm.
He worked as a loader, guard, lecturer of the Kinopanda Bureau, firefighters in the PPC at the Lviv Plant "Automatic loader", the seller of the wine-vodka stall, the washer of cars, the tram conductor, the news reporter, the editor, the director and film director. And such a society was soon created. The idea of “society”, as a tool for protectionism, was warmly supported by V.
Tolstoy, M. Mamardashvili, L. Batkin, A. Gurevich and Yu. Poe, a student of the workshop under the leadership of Vladimir Khotinenko. After the expiration of the cousin from VGIK for the “failure to fulfill the payment agreement” as a citizen of Ukraine, he was accepted at the commercial department, the restoration of the cousin at the institute and the costs of his training were taken by Vladimir Khotinenko and Nikita Mikhalkov.
The conflict of the director with VGIK led to his re -exclusion from among the students, which was preceded by the letter of Kuzin, rector A. Novikov and vice -rector A. Zolotukhina, in which the student threatened the judicial persecution of VGIK if an attempt to illegally sell the negativity of the “left -handed” without taking into account the copyright of the director.
The conflict was publicized. In M I read a course of lectures on modern Russian cinema for American students University Bucknell.

The hero of the film is the young Adolf Hitler, whom the teacher makes the teacher to write with his right hand. But this is not entirely true. Today, in a short competition, another film about Hitler is shown - “Left” Yuri Kuzin.
As you know, on the opening day of the Siberian Barber, Mikhalkov, shot half in English, will go here. In the competition - “Moloch” Sokurov about Hitler, shot in German. The author is trying to understand the nature of "the womb that the reptile has been bent." There are too many significant coincidences to go unnoticed. There will be many hunters to argue about an amazing cinema that cannot find a common language with its own country, and reflect on why the topic of fascism has become so relevant for Russia.
The author of the “left -handed man” Tana Hitler is looking for many researchers in his complexes. The immaculate child Adolf is a blank sheet of paper. The first violence in his life is the attempts of mentors to accustom a left -handed person to write the right. Dresswords are hardened, provokes response violence. The process is dotted, but clearly: the boy’s gaze changes, guilt is transformed into the aggressiveness of the wolf wolbox.
As in any Vgikovskaya work, the author wants to say everything in every frame - and to the maximum. To compress a lot in the small - too much for normal perception. But this is more a dignity than a drawback. A person has something to say, and he knows how to speak the language of cinema. The serious cinematic erudition and the continuation of the traditions of the movie where the frame is as if painted by an artist is obvious here and only then embodied in flesh, light and sound.
There is a mature attitude to the world as an object of research. The ability to feel a problem ripening in society. Metaphoricality, multi -layer, intellectual saturation of the image. A few student works are the present -up of the Korifeev cinema were a statement so promising, and I hope that Yuri Kuzin has a good future. Kannah nominee is a native of Lviv. He began with the Yaroslavl Theater, he wanted to become an actor.
But Andrei Tarkovsky arrived. Kuzin made his way to him at the Bear Hotel, where his fate decided.He became the ply of Kinogenia, later took part in the creation of the society of his name and wrote a script about pilgrimage to the places of filming “Stalker”, “Rublev” and “Mirrors”. Then he tried to organize the Tarkovsky’s teemarathon, even attracted Edison Denisov, Sofu Gubaidullin and Ernst Unknown to participate in it, but the project fell due to lack of money.
A capable guy was calculated by Roman Viktyuk, suggested writing the script “Venus in Furs” according to Zahar-Mazokh. Kuzin wrote a comedy and even received a fee, which lived the next year. But this project also fell, and Zahar-Mazokh then came around in the idea of “left-handed”. He changed the profession, extinguished fires in Lviv until Vladimir Khotinenko noticed the film fan fanatic.
But Kuzin was now a foreigner - a subject of Ukraine. And VGIK panted its budget by foreigners, and therefore demanded dollars. Kuzin traded vodka in a tent on Petrovka and studied for two years to earned. I found a niche in one of the walls of the Vgikovsky audience, built a “coffin” there. And in it lived, swam around the seas of knowledge, like Gvidon in a barrel.
They did not give the bottom to knock the bottom and go out within the due time - the TGIK tariffs grew, the tent on Petrovka did not keep up with them. Kuzin from VGIK left. But the beginning was supposed to. In the second year, he shot the film “Cavalier ROZG” - about Zahar -Mazoha. The Pole Zanussi saw the picture, invited to the internship to Waid, and Kuzin studied for a month in Krakow with a great director.
What did not prevent him from being on the street. This is the only way to get funding. VGIK agreed. Right in the room where I lived, we built Alois's apartment, Hitler's father. They reproduced the German style "Bidermaier" with his stinginess and pompous emptiness. In the role of Alois, Evgenia Kindinov was persuaded to act. They found Austrian actors who voiced the picture in the dialect.
To shoot, he gradually sold a small library that he managed to assemble. I will swallow the book at night - and sell. The calculation was simple - everything for the film, everything for victory. " The film was taken to the festival in Berlin. Then they thought out, refused both Kuzin and Sokurov - to remind Hitler was considered untimely. But the bunch of two Russian tapes on the Nazis has already arisen.
Kuzin explains the coincidence simply: a cloud of fascism hung over Russia, and if both author felt it, then the story is the fault. The film, as expected, played his role in the fate of Kuzin. The question arose of restoration at VGIK. The Cannes film, made under the impression of Erich Froma's thoughts about the origins of Hitler's destructiveness. Kuzin does not want to brand evil, but listen to him.
In this sense, the artist’s task is to become a devil's lawyer. ” Trying to protect evil, he will show his second, hidden side, and then there will be a chance to understand his path and fate. Not to mention the elders?
The split in the cinema, a series of showdowns, the “opium wars” did not allow them to fit into the film process forty -year -olds, alas, they lost much of what the lion Gumilyov called “passionarity”. They either rest on the laurels of their debuts, or went underground, taking a hundred grams “on the staff”. They do not like directors, they are afraid of directors
