Russian Critics on the Cinema of Glasnost gathers together
twenty-three essays written by some of Russia's most astute
commentators of film and culture. Written during the 1980s and
published in English for the first time, this collection includes
reviews of films such as Little Vera and Taxi Blues, which were
critically hailed in the West. Their comments not only illuminate
important aspects of Russian filmmaking during this decade: As
importantly, they capture a sense of a society in flux during the
waning years of Communism, as well as the larger context within
which Glasnost cinema and culture developed. This collection
provides insight into the successes and shortcomings of Glasnost,
as captured in film, for a Western audience.
