Synopsis
This is the first book to deal exclusively with Russian cinema of the 1990s. It introduces readers to the currents and common interests of contemporary Russian cinema, offers close studies of the work of filmmakers like Sokurov, Muratova and Astrakhan, reviews the Russian film industry in a period of massive economic transformation, and assesses cinema's function as a definer of Russia's new identity.

    I had sent message asking about the condition of item only because one photo was a little out of focus and description only said used. Never got a reply. I was a little concerned but eventually ordered anyway. It arrived well packaged and in very good to excellent condition. Overall pleased with purchase only wish seller had replied to my inquiry.
