Ruptures and Continuities in Soviet/Russian Cinema

About this book

"This book, based on extensive original research, examines how far the collapse of the Soviet Union represented a threshold that initiated change or whether there are continuities which gradually reshaped cinema in Russia. The book considers a wide range of films and filmmakers. It considers genres, characters and filmmakers' styles, and concludes that whereas genres and the industry, and characters, did change around 1991, filmmakers' styles continued largely unaffected."--Page 4 of cover.
