Kira Muratova

"The first comprehensive study of the life and cinema of Kira Muratova, the acclaimed, controversial, and uncompromising Romanian-born director who has lived and worked in Odessa for forty years." "Jane Taubman's book, the first in any Western language to examine Muratova's life and work, traces her development from the woman-centred black and white "provincial melodramas" of the late 1960s through the poetic realism, surrealism, and hyper-realism of her little-known films from the 1970s and 1980s, to her eccentric post-Soviet and post-modern comedies, which include the black humour Three Stories (1997) and Chekhov's Motifs (2002), an idiosyncratic version of two early Chekhov works."--Jacket.
