“Yulia Peresild is not a goat with big lips, but a beautiful person”: Ivan Okhlobystin praised the film “Challenge” 04/05/2023, 11:50

Klim Šipenko’s space drama “The Challenge” earned over 1 billion rubles at the Russian box office. The tape reached this indicator in just 13 days. The actor of the director’s next high-grossing film, Serf, shared his impressions of watching The Challenge. Okhlobystin indicated that, like other skeptics, he doubted that part of the image was shot on the ISS.

“It was with great trepidation that I went to see the film The Challenge yesterday,” said Ivan. – I suspected that it was either shnyaga using rusty, home-made equipment, or pure fraud. And they didn’t fly into space, but so … “the dough was washed on a hot topic.” At the meeting, the director gave me a somewhat simplified answer. And I hesitated to insist.

The 56-year-old artist admitted that he was pleasantly surprised by the viewership. He called “The Challenge” a “robust picture”. Ivan assured that he is convinced that some scenes were actually shot in space. According to him, it is a “large-scale demonstration with elements of artistic conjecture”.

The actor appreciated the play of his colleagues, the main actors of the Challenge – Julija Peresildová, Vladimir Mashkov and Miloš Bikovič. “Julia Peresildová lies pleasantly on the heart. Not a one-celled goat with lips, but a very beautiful smart personality without losing the erotic appeal. Feminine in a good way. A real Russian woman with an Estonian surname. Mashkov, for me – always without a miss. Yes, and on the ideological part of the native. So does Miloš. They are all good. Nothing but congratulations!” Okhlobystin wrote on his personal blog.

On the eve of the film’s premiere, a loud scandal broke out. Pilot-cosmonaut Fyodor Yurchikhin spoke out against awarding the title of Hero of Russia to Peresild. He also expressed displeasure that the Challenge was filmed at public expense. He was supported by several other astronauts. The honored artist of Russia turned to these enemies. “I am accused of all the deadly sins,” Yulia complained.
