Post-Soviet Art: A Solid Theoretical Foundation Of Post-Soviet

If you have ever seen one or two of Aleksei Balabanovs films and you don't quite know what to make of them or you even followed some misinterpretation (political, intellectual, cinematic ...)- this book gives a clear answer to all questions.



This book will give you a solid understanding of genre film through the popular crime movies of the enigmatic Russian director Aleksei Balabanov.



The book, moreover, lays bare Balabanov's rejection of a clear-cut post-Soviet identity and his problematization of dominant Russian ideologies and thus brings a corrective to previous writings on his films.



The author gives a solid theoretical foundation as well as interesting directions of interpretation, guided by thorough analysis on the subject.
