Russian film director, screenwriter and cinematographer of Jewish
origin. His son Valery Todorovsky is also a film director.Todorovsky
joined the Red Army during World War II and drew on his war
experiences for a number of films, including Rio-Rita (2008). In the
1950s, he worked as a cinematographer for Marlen Khutsiev. He liked to
play guitar and composed songs for some of his films.Todorovsky's
early 1980s melodramas gained him wide popularity in the Soviet Union.
They have been described as "delightfully unpretentious comedies,
homourous and touching at the same time".Todorovsky's Intergirl (1989)
was the first Soviet film about prostitution and caused quite a stir.
His next film Encore, Once More Encore! (1992) presents a grim picture
of moral prostitution in a dull, provincial garrison town.
