英国人拍的普希金


This is a wonderful review of the film. Now I understand why the movie felt more familiar: We are, after all, more Anglosized than Russofied. :))


The cultural and aesthetic challenges of putting Russia's national poem on the big screen

Yuri Senokosov
Edward Skidelsky

But what distinguishes Pushkin's work from similar reflections by other Russian writers is its lack of bitterness. The futility of life in no way diminishes its charm or interest for Pushkin. If anything, it adds to it.

Can Brits Film Pushkin?
