The New Yorker published a profile of Andrei Zbyagintsev. That's what they write there and the author of the text is Yehoshua Yaffe, a journalist who has been writing about Russia since the mid-2000s and lived for many years in Moscow. Most readers of The New Yorker, of course, have no such experience, so much of the material is quite clear to Russian-speaking readers. But there are also very interesting things. For example, how about this fact: the French producer Zviagintseva assures that the director either did not know how, or was completely unaccustomed to coming up with ideas for his films. In Russia, Alexander Rodninsky was looking for money for him, as they say, on a turnkey basis. In Europe, independent films are not made like this: several companies are involved in the production of the film, and the director has to interact with all of them. We renumber the profile using the link. And here you can pre-order the book "I" by Andrei Zbyagintsev and Anton Dolin, which is published by our publisher. It is about the art of directing, artistic and political freedom. And of course, about Zviagintsev's paintings. ___ The material is not opened? Read here or here.
