MAIN PROGRAM:
VLADIMIR KOBRIN – RETROSPEKTIVA (VOL. II)
SET LISTA:
The Last Dream of Anatoly Vasilievich (1990) 42:54
“The film in a metaphorical form demonstrates a model of self-devouring in a closed spiritual system, it explores intermediate state between a human and a non-human: a subhuman deprived of a divine spark.” (COW)
1991 Here (S) (1991) 15:07
“At the center of the film is a man-monkey inhabiting various anthropogenic spaces, such as a zoo, city streets and a farmyard. But the attributes inherent in human life (work, marriage, military service, leisure) do not release him from an animal form. During filming in the Crimea (not far from Gorbachev’s villa), the notorious August coup occurred in Moscow and President Gorbachev was arrested and isolated on his villa. The immediate proximity to the scene could not be without impact on the film – Kobrin processed it in his own grotesque form.” (COW)
Third Reality (1995) 14:06
“Film is dedicated to the ontological problems of adaptation of the human spirit in the mental world.” (COW)
Third Reality II (1996) 14:08
“Cinematography in allegory. Film is dedicated to the memory of Svyatoslav Valov, the director of documentary films and Kobrin’s colleague.” (COW)
