"Anton Dolin – journalist, radio host, film critic on the television program ‘Evening Urgant’ and editor-in-chief of the most authoritative film publication ‘Art of Cinema’.
In the book ‘Shades of Russian’, the most sought-after and influential film critic in the country has gathered his observations on domestic cinema in recent years. Modestly named ‘shades’, it presents a mosaic of contemporary reality, in which cinema is an integral part and reflection of the entire palette of social moods.
To those who condemn, love, despise, do not understand, or want to figure 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 stirred up ‘Matilda’."
