Production

Initially, The North Wind was a performance by Renata Litvinova, a directorial debut at the Moscow Art Theater. A.P. Chekhov. Renata gave her play the "real phantasmagoria" genre, which premiered on May 22, 2017. The plot of the performance was somewhat different from the film. On the stage of the Moscow Art Theater, a large Soviet family, whose diamonds are buried somewhere in the garden, celebrates thirteen new years at once, which are replaced one after another.

In December 2018, Renata Litvinova gave a large-scale interview to Vogue Russia magazine and starred in a video for their YouTube channel. In it, she talked about filming the film and her own feelings from her work:

In general, for me this film is my personal blockbuster. Giant set, many actors with outstanding roles in perspective. I have never filmed a family saga - fantasy, costumed, fabulous, like from my dream. And in the theater it was chamber - like a rehearsal before a big movie. We didn't even have a production designer, that's how we all treated the project as an experiment. Full decorations - just a table, chairs, a tree and a window. Zemfira replaced the scenery with her music. Roma Litvinov (ru) also wrote ambiences - this is the most important part of the performance - the atmosphere of the northern house!
