Description
The Russian Cinema Reader Volume Two: The Thaw to the Present is a two-volume reader that accompanies undergraduate courses in the history of Russian cinema and culture through film. Spanning from the Thaw era to the present, this collection features newly commissioned essays, excerpts from English language criticism, and translations of Russian language essays on subtitled films widely taught in American and British courses. The volumes are arranged chronologically, with general introductions outlining the cinematic significance and historical context of each period of film history. This reader is useful for both film studies specialists and Slavists looking to broaden their Russian Studies curriculum by incorporating film courses or culture courses with cinematic material. The accompanying essays provide suggestions for further reading, making this a valuable resource for those seeking in-depth analysis of Russian cinema. By covering twenty films from the Thaw era to the present, Volume Two offers a comprehensive exploration of Russian cinema from the 1960s to the present day.
