For Rade Šerbedžija (70) it can be rightly said that he is one of the rare Yugoslav actors who, in his fruitful fifty-year career, also conquered Hollywood. This gentleman among actors, whether he is acting, directing, writing, singing or playing an instrument, al- ways attracts attention. Although his life has not all been milk and hon- ey, in this interview for “Elevate” Šerbedžija says that he is a happy man and would never change his life. For the last two and a half decades he has been hap- pily married to theatre director Lenka Udovički, with whom he has lived and worked for years in Rijeka. Rade is a father of five children, and he proudly notes that he is also the grandfather of Ivan, Sergej and Anastazija. Your directorial debut, “The Liberation of Sko- pje”, was shown at the film festival in Sarajevo. Four decades have passed since this drama was written by Dušan Jovanović, but the text is still very current. How come? - “The Liberation of Skopje” is one of the best writ- ten contemporary dramatic texts in Yugoslavia. I de- cided to write a film script because I considered sto- ry is still topical today. It’s about a nine-year-old boy growing up during World War II. Today we are once
li sredstva od Makedonskog film- skog fonda. Tada je bilo najvažnije pronaći pravog dečaka za glav- nu ulogu. Mesecima smo ga traži- li i napokon našli sjajnoga mom- ka Davida Todovskog, koji nas je sve oduševio prirodnim talentom i svojim neverovatnim bićem. Predstava „Oslobođenje Sko- plja“ tek otvorenog KPGT-a bila je vrlo popularna i dugo se igrala po Jugoslaviji. Da li je reditelj predstave Ljubi- ša Ristić imao priliku da od- gleda film? – Ne, Ljubiša nije gledao film, a nisam ni sarađivao sa njim, iako su mi na pameti često bile njego- ve misli i ideje, jer je on jedan ve- liki režiser, čije se reči i postup- ci pamte. Šta je za vas najveći uspeh, kako privatan, tako i profesi- onalan? – Nerado govorim o svojim
godišnjoj karijeri osvojio i Holivud. Ovaj gospodin među glumcima, bilo da glumi, režira, piše, peva, svi- ra, uvek skreće pažnju na sebe. Iako u njegovom životu nije sve bilo med i mleko, u intervjuu za Elevate Šerbedžija kaže da je srećan čovek i da svoj život nikada ne bi menjao. Već dve i po dece- nije u srećnom je braku s pozoriš- nom rediteljkom Lenkom Udovič- ki, sa kojom godinama živi i radi u Rijeci. Rade je otac petoro dece, a ponosno ističe da je i deda Ivanu, Sergeju i Anastaziji. Na filmskom festivalu u Sa- rajevu prikazan je vaš redi- teljski prvenac „ Oslobođenje Skoplja“ . Prošlo je četiri de- cenije kako je dramu napisao
Zadovoljan sam svojim životom i ne bih ga menjao. Imam divnu ženu i petoro božanstvene dece I am happy with my life and I would not change it. I have a wonderful wife and five divine children
Dušan Jovanović, ali tekst je i dalje aktuelan. Zbog čega? – Oslobođenje Skoplja je jedan od ponajbolje napisanih savreme- nih dramskih tekstova u Jugoslavi- ji. Ja sam odlučio da napišem film- ski scenario jer sam smatrao da je ta priča aktuelna i danas. To je pri- ča o odrastanju jednog devetogo- dišnjeg dečaka za vreme Drugog svetskog rata, a danas smo, po- novo, svedoci brutalnih ratova u svetu i hiljade i hiljade dece koja svojim nevinim očima užasnuto posmatraju strahote koje se deša- vaju oko njih. Godinama ste želeli da sni- mite film, ali nije se dalo. Kako su se sada kockice slo- žile i da li je bilo lakše jer ste ga režirali zajedno sa sinom Danilom, a ulogu ima i vaša kćerka Lucija? – Da, čekao sam nekoliko go- dina dok napokon nismo dobi-
again witnessing brutal wars around the world. Thou- sands upon thousands of innocent children are watch- ing these horrors unfold around in terror. For years you wanted to make a film, but you didn’t manage to. How did the dice fall favoura- bly now, and was it easier because you directed alongside your son Danilo and because your daughter Lucija played a role? - Yes, I waited a couple of years until we finally got funds from the Macedonian Film Fund. It was also ex- tremely important that we found the right boy for the lead role. We searched for months and finally found that boy in David Todovski, who thrilled us all with his natural talent and incredible presence. The theatre play “The Liberation of Skopje”, at the newly opened KPGT, was very popular and was performed throughout Yugoslavia for a long time. Has the play’s director, Ljubiša Ri- stić, had an opportunity to watch the film? - No, Ljubiša has not seen the film, and I didn’t col- laborate with him. However, his thoughts and ideas were often on my mind, as he’s a great director, whose words and deeds are always remembered. What is the greatest success for you, both in your private life and professionally?
uspesima u životu, a i u umetnosti. To je na drugima da prosuđuju. Ja sam lično zadovoljan svojim živo- tom i ne bih ga menjao. Imam div- nu ženu i petoro božanstvene dece i još mnogo sjajnih prijatelja koji obogaćuju moj život. Kako najčešće provodite slo- bodno vreme sa suprugom Lenkom u Rijeci? – Stalno smo zajedno, a kada moram negde da putujem sam, brojim sate do povratka kući. Rije- ka je sada moj dom. Volim taj grad i ne pomišljam da se vraćam u ino- stranstvo. Dovoljno sam lutao i sada svetla moga ognjišta gore na ovome lepom Jadranskom primor- ju, gde su zalasci sunca najlepši i gde su ljudi dragi i slobodni. Da li i dalje predajete? Jeste li strogi? Koji savet uvek prvo dajete svojim studentima? – Još predajem na našoj pozo- rišnoj akademiji u Rijeci. Volim da
