Tatu is a popular Russian group that ceased to exist in 2011. The duet of girls gained popularity not only in Russia, but also in Europe, America and Asia. Their songs have been at the top of the charts more than once, and their international album Dangerous and Moving has received platinum status. On September 4, the Kultura TV channel planned to air an autobiographical film about the members of the group, but at the last moment the premiere was canceled.
The film "Anatomy of a TATU" was filmed back in 2003 by director Vitaly Mansky. Immediately after the release, the tape collected a lot of controversial reviews from the Moscow City Duma deputies. The authorities did not like the marijuana cigarette they saw in the ribbon. Also, the deputies considered unnecessary the revelations of Yulia Volkova about injecting drug use, which the former member of the duet shared with the audience. The reputation of the film was also influenced by the scandalous image of the group, as well as the abundance of obscene language.
An autobiographical film about Tatu's tour in the United States of America was planned to be shown as part of the Watch. We are discussing. However, shortly before the premiere after the release of the law on the protection of children from harmful information, the tape was taken off the air. This upset the director and producers of the film a lot, since negotiations with the Kultura channel have been underway since the beginning of the summer.
The law on protecting children from information that may harm their health and development comes into force on September 1, 2012. According to him, the screening of films that can negatively affect the child's psyche is postponed to the "adult" time - after 23.00. The Anatomy of Tatu tape was supposed to go on the air late in the evening, but the administration of Kultura decided to play it safe and refused the film altogether.
Russian viewers will still see a film about a popular musical group. Having learned about the termination of the contract with "Culture", the management of the MTV channel gladly signed a contract with Vitaly Mansky. According to the general producer of the music channel, he sees no obstacles to the appearance of the film on the air in the evening. In the official MTV press release, Tatu Anatomy is listed as a vivid and true story of the cult group, filmed by one of the best Russian documentary filmmakers.
