Dovlatov

Aleksej German / RU, PL, RS, 2018 / 126 min.

Aleksei German Jr. used magnificent scenes and long tracking shots to evoke the world of the Russian-Jewish author Sergei Dovlatov (1941-1990), who was unable to get his brilliant and ironic texts published in Brezhnev’s Soviet Union. The tragicomic portrait of rebellion and accommodation also highlights an era of destructive stagnation.

Previously Unreleased

Screened at prominent national and international festivals, yet never released in Dutch cinemas. Quite unjustly so, Eye Filmmuseum thinks, and so it has once again brought an exceptional selection of films from international festivals to the Netherlands.
