Shadows of the Thaw (Kino Primer 14)



In this episode of Kino Primer we’ll explore the trends of the late 1960s Soviet pictures. The end of the Thaw era introduced harsher censorship, which seriously affected the creative and liberal experiments of the Soviet New Wave.

  1. It's so good to have you back !
    Edit : I really hope you and your loved ones are safe with the conflict 🙏🏻❤
    Edit 2 : I recommend that you make a video essay about Sergei Paradjanov similar to the one you made about Leonid Gaidaï (if possible) ! He truly is a seminal director with a unique vision !

  2. Outstanding, as usual 👍
    I love many of these films. Especially I remember the surprise twist at the end of the "Children of Don Quijote" – it was very emotional ❤️
