Georgy Daneliya

The outstanding director Georgy Daneliya left behind a number of timeless masterpieces of cinema, still loved by millions of viewers today. Incredibly talented, he was a perfectionist in his work, creating his films slowly and meticulously, achieving impeccable results. It is difficult to find works that are as perfect in every respect among not only domestic but also internationally recognized films. Daneliya's life is also interesting - a noted wit, a mischievous reveler, and a person passionately devoted to his work, without which he simply could not exist. This book attempts to cover the life and work of Georgy Nikolaevich Daneliya - widely known not only as a director but also as a writer - while striving not to repeat what he has shared about himself in his memoirs.
The biography, written by Evgeny Novitsky, the author of the biographies of Leonid Gaidai and Eldar Ryazanov, can be considered the concluding part of a trilogy about the great Soviet-Russian film directors-comedians.
