Soviet and Russian filmmakers have traditionally had uneasy
relationships to the concept of genre. This volume rewrites that
history by spotlighting some genres not commonly associated with
cinema in the region, including Cold War spy movies and
science-fiction films; blockbusters and horror films; remakes and
adventure films; and chernukha films and serials. Introductory
essays establish key aspects of these genres, and directors'
biographies provide the background for the key players. Building on
the work of its predecessor, which explored cinema from the time of
the tsars to the Putin era, this book will be warmly received by
the serious film scholar as well as all those who love Russian
cinema. "Directory of World Cinema: Russia 2" is an essential
companion to the filmic legacy of one of the world's most storied
countries.
