Shades of Russian: Essays on Domestic Cinema

Anton Dolin – journalist, radio host, film reviewer in the TV program «Evening Urgant» and editor-in-chief of the most authoritative publication on cinema «The Art of Cinema».
In the book «Shades of Russian», perhaps the most sought-after and influential film critic... in the country has gathered his observations on domestic cinema of recent years. Modestly named «shades», it presents a mosaic of modern reality, in which cinema is an integral part and reflection of the entire palette of social sentiments. 
To those who condemn, love, despise, do not understand, or want to figure it out, Dolin will reveal new colors in the black-and-white «Hard to Be a God», explain why «Loveless» is not a film about monsters, but about us, why the classic Sergey Solovyov is the youngest director, and what and who was stirred by «Matilda».
