Director Taras Tomenko commented on the scandal around the actor Konstantin Temlyak, who this year received the Gold Dziha Award, and subsequently abandoned it due to public resonance. The actor, who is accused of domestic violence and an intimate correspondence with a minor, was shot in the film " Endless romance "

" An endless novel ”(the disgraced artist received a role for a role in another picture -“ God -free ”. - Ed. ) As an actor he is very plastic, it was very interesting to work with him, ”said the director. - I could not even think that this could happen, because on the set it was a very intelligent person. And all this somehow happened with our shooting parallel. It's hard to believe that I later heard. However, in love affairs it is usually not easy to figure out. But I emphasize: violence is unacceptable in any case "

Tomenko believes that the organizers of the Golden Dzihai could make another decision - to postpone the nomination for a while, where the launcher was declared: “In my opinion, one of the decisions in the situation with a reward could be a delay in this nomination.

It was necessary to make some balanced decision before the presentation, not to delay everything like that, because it only pushed to a new wave of the scandal around Konstantin Temlyak "

" If at the time of the ceremony there was a court verdict, then, of course, it would not be worth awarding the reward, - the director of Tomenko shared his opinion on the advisability of awarding the dark. - However, to hang the guilt without a court decision is wrong and one -sided. I am not a supporter of the Temlyak in this situation, but I believe that we must rely on official conclusions. The investigation continues and, I think, will be transparent, because a lot of attention is focused on history. "
