And Life, and Tears and Love
In the wake of an important donation from collector François Lemai, we present films on 35 mm prints belonging to the history of Soviet cinema.
A mirror film of the previous and remarkable The Orphans, this work is in a way one of the (many) swan songs of Soviet cinema. Once again in the mode of a chronicle and tinged with humor, the film takes place in a seniors residence, unfolding the picture of those left behind, of the elders whose feats of arms have been forgotten or erased.
Nikolai Gubenko
Nikolai Nikolaevich Gubenko (17 August 1941 – 16 August 2020) was a Soviet and Russian actor, film and theatre director, screenwriter, founder of the Community of Taganka Actors theatre. His movie Wounded Game was entered into the 1977 Cannes Film Festival. He was named People's Artist of the RSFSR in 1985. Gubenko was also active in politics. He served as the last Minister of Culture of the USSR (1989–1991) and as the Russian State Duma deputy between 1995 and 2003. From 2005 on he acted as the Moscow City Duma deputy. (Wikipedia)
