Visconti. History and Myth. Beauty and Death
29.99 €

Communist and aristocrat Luchino Visconti became one of the ideologues of neorealism at the beginning of his career, and later went far beyond it. Film critic and film historian Andrei Plakhov tells about Visconti not only as a paradoxical director, but also as a mythmaker - a "leopard" of world culture in the era of its decline. At the same time, the book about Visconti, who even in his student years became the author's favorite director, is an extremely personal statement: Plakhov refers in it to the texts of his teacher, one of the leading film critics of the 1960s, Vera Vasilievna Shitova. Plakhov and Shitova's reflections on the Italian director are a conversation in which, thanks to Visconti, the past, present and future come together.
