The Long Farewell
в статті звідки я дізналася про Кіру Муратову мабуть не було нічого написано про її стиль зйомки, бо я взагалі такого не очікувала, і обожеблять як же це було добре

“Mashenka, I wish you to build such a city, in which everyone will be happy”я ледь не заплакала три рази

The Long Farewell
The biggest problem with The Long Farewell is that the script never fully explores the relationship between the mother and the son, which undermines the dramatic effect that director Kira Muratova intended. The son, for example, behaves in such an erratic manner and the viewer is never given a substantial reason to fall for or believe in his actions.

The character of the mother, portrayed by the late Zinaida Sharko, is the biggest redeeming quality of this film. There are times when you feel the pain she’s feeling.
