The fall of the Soviet Union had the effect of making Russia even
more of a riddle to the foreign observer than it had ever been.
This book incorporates into an organic whole the realities of film
production, the films themselves, and the socio-political-cultural
context, weaving these three threads into a narrative discourse. It
aims to integrate the films of the 1990s with life, and to provide
a global picture of Russia (with Moscow in the foreground) as the
big stage on which the drama unfolded. The author discusses some
eighty films made between 1990 and 2000. Many reflect the reality
of the present day, either in dramatic or grotesque form. Others
reassess the past, placing different spins on various epochs and
figures according to the director's ideological orientation. Still
others offer escapism into imaginary worlds. The films selected may
vary in technical quality and depth of thought; they may be
mainstream pictures, or art films. But taken together, they provide
an eloquent portrait of Russia, entering the new millennium still
in search of its true identity.
