Description
Vladimir Lenin's life was marked by revolution and remaking a nation. This captivating screenplay brings to life the enigmatic leader, capturing his moment in history and the force of his personality on the tumult he found. From his rush from Switzerland to Petrograd by train, to his love for Inessa Armand, Ali sheds light on Lenin's personal life amidst the politics. A serious cinematic assessment of Lenin is still needed, despite previous failed attempts to film him. This first draft provides a solid foundation for something greater in the future. Tariq Ali's work aims to rescue Lenin from both liberal caricature and Soviet hagiography, recovering the realism and dynamism of his political thought. Published to commemorate the centenary of Lenin's death, this book offers a fresh perspective on one of the 20th century's most influential figures.
