Valery Petrovich Todorovsky (Russian: Вале́рий Петро́вич Тодоро́вский; Ukrainian: Валерій Петрович Тодоровський; born 9 May 1962, Odessa) is a Russian film director, screenwriter, TV producer of Jewish origin[1].
Legend has it that Todorovsky was born immediately after his mother watched Hitchcock's Psycho, in 1962. The film did not have an official release in Odessa; rather, it somehow reached Odessa Film Studio, where his father, Piotr Todorovsky, also a film director, was working at the time.[citation needed]
Among the films he directed is the crime melodrama set in Moscow, The Country of Deaf (Strana Glukhikh), scripted by actress-director-scriptwriter Renata Litvinova based on her own novella To Have and to Belong, and Hipsters. The Country of Deaf was entered into the 48th Berlin International Film Festival.[2]
Of his earlier films, The Hearse (Katafalk) won the Grand Prix at Mannheim (1990) and Love (Lyubov) received Ecumenical Prize at Cannes (1992).[3] Currently, he is mostly involved with producing TV serials for ORT.[citation needed]
