Description
"Real Images" is the first book to investigate, and analyze Soviet cinema of ""the thaw"" from the aftermath of Stalin's death in 1953 to the late 1960s, during Kruschev's rule. Josephine Woll explains how Soviet industry and filmmakers strove to satisfy audiences' hunger for films, while accommodating the political mood shifts that characterized the period. Film and filmmakers played a critical role in the Soviet Union's attempts to get out from underneath Stalinist ideology.
