Be they musicals or melodramas, war movies or animation, Russian
films have a long and fascinating history of addressing the major
social and political events of their time. From Sergei Eisenstein's
anti-tsarist drama, "The Battleship Potemkin," to socialist
realism, to the post-glasnost thematic explosion, this volume
explores the sociopolitical impact of the cinema of Russia and the
former Soviet Union. Introductory essays establish key players and
situate important genres within their cultural and industrial
milieus, while reviews and case studies analyze individual titles
in considerable depth. For the film studies scholar, or for all
those who love Russian cinema and want to learn more, "Directory of
World Cinema: Russia "will be an essential companion.
