In 2009, she was honored as an Artist of Ukraine. She is a member of the comedy troupe “Masks”, and has worked in the “House of Clowns” in Odesa.

Early life

Nataliya Buzko was born in Sevastopol on 27 November 1963.

Since the age of five months, she has been living in Odesa.

An engineer by education, she graduated from the Odessa Institute of Marine Engineers in 1985. While studying at the institute, she attended pantomime courses, where she met actors who later became known as the comedy troupe “Masks”. As part of the troupe, Buzko made her first appearance on television.

Career

Her successful debut in big cinema was the role of the brunette Masha in Kira Muratova's psychological drama “Asthenic Syndrome” in 1989. Subsequently, she starred in several more films by Kira Muratova.

In 2007, at the Brigantine film festival in Berdyansk, Buzko received a prize for best supporting role in Kira Muratova's film “Two in One.”

In her nomination, Buzko competed with Svetlana Nemolyaeva (“Blues of Falling Leaves”), Irina Melnik (“Another Life, or Escape from the Other World”) and Polina Kutepova (“Indi”).

The film “Two in One” was recognized as “Best Film of the CIS and Baltic Countries” according to the Nika Film Award, and in June it became the opening film of the 18th Kinotavr. The international premiere of the film took place in early May in New York at the Tribeca Film Festival, founded by Robert De Niro.

In the scene where actor Bogdan Stupka pulls Buzko's panties down, she said that she hoped the shot wouldn't explicitly show her vulva, as it does, she explained, "I was sure that the scene would be filmed in such a way that it would be clear: they were taking off their tights, pants, but nothing superfluous would be seen. And when it came time to shoot this scene and there was half the film behind, I knew that the frame would be as it is. 'Kira, how? 'Yes, just like that,' was her answer. But I will say that in the context of the film, this scene is justified, although I do not like nudity."
