TOP 15 OTHER films of the Soviet cinema

The concept of "art-house" it is in the national lexicon relatively recently, but a decent "other" movies filmed before the collapse of the Soviet Union. This phenomenon can be called truly unique, because in those times to produce a non-ideological tape in wide release was almost impossible. In underground studios has formed a whole galaxy of talented filmmakers, whose works are worthy of the attention of the audience.



1. Andrei Rublev, 1966

Top of my personal hit parade is a magnificent painting by Tarkovsky. The mind boggles as atheistic censorship film with obvious religious overtones. "Andrei Rublev" is not a simple story-biography, it is a story about difficult life in Medieval Russia, problems and thoughts that occupy the artist's thoughts. The inner world of man "with God's spark" alive responds to the social problems of society. To write an icon, you need to come close to the needs of suffering people, to experience the same torment and anguish of the Orthodox soul.



 

2. White bird with black mark, 1972

70-ies of the last century became the epoch of the revival of Ukrainian cinema. In this, not afraid of the word, the work of art describes the life of rural families. Before viewing, it may seem that viewers are in for a banal tale, but after the first frame comes to an understanding of the philosophical depth of the film. Talking about the consequences of the Holodomor is strictly forbidden. Therefore, displayed on the screen of the need to give sons to the laborers itself is a precedent and a challenge to Soviet propaganda. Attempt to avoid impoverishment forced a loving father to say goodbye to my own children. "White bird with black mark" touches the heart strings, pulling shrill note of mercy.



 

3. I Am Cuba, 1964

Young minds romanticize the revolutionary manifestos, however, they do not consider that all, without exception, the uprising was provoked by cruelty and injustice. Human patience has its limits. Before the release of the tape of Mikhail Kalatozov, Cuba was perceived as a wonderful country with exotic palm trees and rousing songs. However, in this state, wealthy people will never face the poverty of the population, is willing to sell into bondage for a crust of bread. Capitalists do not care about the lives of the proletarians, they judge and clothe at their own discretion, "rights" and "freedom" for them is empty words. Not surprisingly, such an attitude nurtured a generation of rebels declared war on the rotten system.



 

4. Wounded animal, 1976

Music is closely intertwined with the plot, it accompanies every gesture of the main characters, reinforcing the impression of the picture. Writer Alexey Bartenev returned to his hometown in search of lost relatives. Fragmentary episodes appear before the audience a terrible picture of postwar chaos. The film is relevant even decades after the premiere. It aims to remind young people about the terrible hunger years who have experienced our grandparents. "Wounded animal" teaches no matter what to stay strong, to find positive moments and to sincerely enjoy life. There is no characteristic of Soviet cinema pretentious atmosphere, the characters are drawn richly, vividly and as close as possible to reality.



 

5. Spring for the thirsty, 1965

We seek rather to become adults and leave his father's house, but hardly anyone thinks about the feelings of forgotten us parents. The old man Serdyuk spent in free swimming their sons. Deciding that his earthly Affairs are made in full, he made the coffin and began to prepare for death. Overgrown well – a surreal metaphor for the worth of the individual. While there is no need, he decays, his soul fills with sand, and the body break troubles. Is around to show a fraction of genuine interest, how is the moral and physical recovery. In the final scene of the picture Serdyuk decisive blows smashes his coffin and repairing the dilapidated well.



 

6. Mirror, 1974

Fear of loss pierces the main character of the films of Tarkovsky. With each new day, he notes the degree of distancing of loved ones, the understanding wears away the invisible eraser in place of love comes prickly aloofness. The only way out is a return to the vivid childhood memories and attempts to find support in the past. The Director tried to convey the ephemeral concepts: time, dreams, and thoughts. He managed to create images that lie outside the framework of human understanding that is what has made "Mirror" completed masterpiece "other" cinema. I saw on the screen his own reflection and did not looked back.



 

7. At the end of the world, 1975

The desire to escape from all problems familiar to all people regardless of age. Boy Volodya tired of excessive care, its excessively annoying eternal edification of kin. He and the girl SIM decided on a desperate step – to leave home. Escape "on the edge" turns into a series of enlightening adventures and incredible friendships. The film primarily covers the moral and ethical side of search of meaning of life and the endless process of self-discovery. Along with the main character, viewers will open up new horizons and reconsider the dominant priorities.



 

8. Long goodbye, 1971

It's difficult to describe infinite maternal love. Son Sasha was the main character over all, but he grew up and became less need for attention. Divorced woman for the first time in many years, the amount of time allocated to personal, she has a fan. Visit of the child to the biological father and Sasha's desire to move became a knife stab to the heart of the mother. Picture of Kira Muratova is a confession, the display of naked feelings on display to the General public. Everyday romance is kind of poetic structure. Fierce desire to delay separation and the desire to avoid a bitter loss to make crying bitterly. Chilly autumn scenery of Odessa only reinforce the impression of hopelessness. Only one moment, the heroine was happy.



 

9. The wife of karasinska, 1988

The drama takes place in a dark, godforsaken town in the district of East Prussia. Fatal error destroyed the career of two brothers. Transfusion of the wrong blood group caused the death of the little patient. As a result, to continue medical practice Udaltsov is not entitled. One of them became Chairman of the city Council, and the other a simple karasinska. On the more "successful" brother received a denunciation, to deal with that obligated the investigator of the regional center. All the characters are in some way charged with the biblical parables, exhortations classics of philosophy and literature. Retell the story pointless, to understand the meaning of need to see the picture with my own eyes.



 

10. One hundred days after childhood 1975

In the life of an ordinary Soviet young Mitya had come to a turning point. In the walls of the summer camp, he meets an amazing girl Lena and knows all the pleasures and troubles of first love. Unfortunately, the fiancee of the main character prefers another, brewing a serious conflict. The tape is difficult to call a child, it is designed for more Mature audiences. The film is a bit idealistic, but this characteristic does not prevent to communicate to the addressee the purity and poetry of growing up.



 

11. Thursday or never, 1977

Doctor Sergey Andreevich engaged, before the wedding he decides to visit his mother, worker reserve in the Outback. Somehow, the young man tries to dissuade his future wife and goes Home alone. Causes of action Sergey open a little later. As it turned out in the province has a close friend of the main character, expecting his first child. Naturally, a pregnant girl no one bother to inform about the engagement, moreover, man does not feel any remorse. A complex story of a man who imagine themselves above the social norms.



 

12. My friend Ivan Lapshin, 1984

Criminal and a fascinating story, seen through nine-year-old boy and told them after a few decades. The city is terrorized by a ruthless gang, to catch and punish the scum can only determined and strong-willed chief detective Ivan Lapshin. Uncompromising and determined officer of the law bordering on mania. It is worth mentioning the acting, they don't reproduce, and live out the destiny of the characters. The scenes look Hyper-realistic, black-and-white images represent the images that arise in human memory. One hundred percent of the author's cinema, so I described the work of Alexei German.



 

13. City zero, 1988

Ordinary trip turned to engineer Alexei varakina a succession of incredibly strange encounters. He gets in a fantastic city that offers the visitor its secrets, so that he ceases to distinguish between fiction and reality. Karen Shakhnazarov conceived the movie as an absurd Comedy, but the result was a philosophical treatise. "City zero" proves that everyday routine is not the same as we see it, if a little look it will be filled with doubts and ambiguities.



 

14. The lonely voice of man 1978

The film was recognized as immoral and anti-Soviet, only a miracle saved him from destruction. The debut directorial work of Sokurov impregnated remarkable human experience, giving to understand the degree of personal maturity of the author. Firsov soldier returns home after the war, he could not erase the horrors of the front. Feelings to the nurse Luba become thin guiding thread directing the hero to civilian life. Characters I want to empathize, they are perceived as native people. The Director on the film was able to show the loneliness and fatigue of two broken souls, their desire for a naive and simple happiness.



 

15. Shadows of forgotten ancestors, 1964

The life and traditions of Hutsul vividly displayed in his immortal creation Sergei Parajanov. A romantic attachment had sprung up between Ivan and Marichka Ukrainian counterparts of Romeo and Juliet. Their families are feuding for many years, lovers shares the enduring wall. The main character is forced to go to work, returning to his father's house, he learns that the Carpathia died. Nothing can smooth out the violent pain of Ivan, over time it develops into madness. The film is filled with tragedy to the brim, of the minute manifestations of joy are drowning in a viscous abyss of sorrows and misfortunes. Genre art-house, original, unique and filled with hidden meaning. It is necessary to look carefully, greedily catching every line of heroes. The best examples of the "other" Soviet cinema will become food for your mind.published
