Merle Talvik: "We should probably wait"

She sings quite well — after all, ten years of studying in a chamber choir are behind her. And he plays several musical instruments, thanks to his studies at a music school. And she dances superbly — in the past, both variety shows and many operetta performances of the famous theater in Tartu "Vane Muine", where Merle Talvik was assigned after graduating from the drama course of the Tallinn Conservatory.



And, of course, it was no coincidence that the director of Ago, Andrew Kerge, invited her to play the role of a young heroine in his two-part film "The Ball at the Savoy", shot by order of the USSR State Television and Radio at Tallinfilm: Merle seems to radiate what others are given by hard acting. And it was no accident that she appeared on the stage of the Old Town Studio Theater of humor and satire, which, according to her, is directed by the most popular man in Estonia, Eino Baskin, even before he organized the theater (with Sukhovo—Kobylin, Shukshin, Zhvanetsky, Merezhko, and French comedians), and performed on stage. On radio and television, he was called the Estonian Arkady Raikin. Eino Baskin played the role of a newspaper editor in the film "Doppelgangers", who gave his correspondent Merle Talvik a responsible task: to interview the famous singer Yaak Yoala. But the editor's assignment was fatal for Merle's heroine, because the singer turned out to have a doppelganger — an equally famous racing driver, and she, of course, got everything mixed up in the newspaper, and then the same editor sent her to correct the mistake, and she honestly got down to business, and again got confused about the doppelgangers, and it's not known what would happen. It would have ended if it hadn't been for love...



No, of course, it's no coincidence that Merle Talvik finds herself in a comedy play or a musical film every time — light, plastic, sparkling with fireworks of joyful feelings. Meanwhile, everything could have turned out differently: a girl from a family of "techies", her father was a physicist, she showed great promise in physics, and the schoolteacher simply could not imagine her in another "role". But even if you consider that life is life, and it develops according to special laws that are impossible to calculate (that's why Merle Talvik became an actress), nevertheless, from this point of view, everything could have turned out differently. And maybe it will happen again.:



"I should probably just wait," she muses aloud, "and then I'll definitely be given the real dramatic roles that attract me so much." Especially in the movies. And, of course, in the cinema. Because our theater has its own specifics, and I'm not going to change it yet. But in the movies... I want something to change. So that after the screen test they don't say that on the screen I look much younger than my years, and in any given case this is a disadvantage. So that the directors, as if by agreement, would not repeat that I lack restraint and rigor, because I am a very serious person in life. And so that everything would finally stop rolling like on rails, which began with the musical lyric film "The Sun, the Sun Again", shot at Mosfilm a long time ago: I played a fisherwoman there, but this fact was the last thing, and the main thing was music and falling in love without any special burden of the soul.



But — like any emotional person — Merle, of course, exaggerates a little. Or it downplays it — that's how you look at it. Use a 1xbet promo code to unlock a welcome deal built for sports fans.
