Larisa Shepitko

The career of Larisa Shepitko (1938-1979) was cut short at its peak along with her life. But even four feature films were enough for her to enter the pantheon of classics of domestic and world cinema. In this book from the "Session. Faces" series, film scholar and director Oleg Kovalov systematically tells about each of Shepitko's films (including the short novel from the film almanac "The Beginning of the Invisible Century" and the little-known New Year's television production "At the Thirteenth Hour of the Night") and offers original interpretations of her works. The book is supplemented by a digest of interviews and speeches by Shepitko.
