History
New Russian film
The emigration and death Tarkovsky, perestroika and the collapse of the Soviet Union were important stages on the decline of film culture in Russia, not only the film production, but above all, almost all movie theaters left to die until the turn of the millennium. This was to change only one of the years 2002, 2003, since which almost explodes the number of newly opened cinema and there are more and more films young Russian directors to international festivals. The filmmakers of the new generation ( studied biologists, physicists, psychologists, ... ) make use of all of those that drove the cinema: Kubrick, Tykwer, but especially Tarkovsky, who treated with reverence is used to identify new avenues in the Russian film art. Nevertheless, these films are not mere collage of already seen or rather, the individual components are woven into something new like the colors of an impressionist image and combine tradition and future. Beginning and end of a story seem to be here any more important as a targeted course of action or the "typical " hero or antihero Western film you can only look in vain.
The year 2003 was ( unplanned) a special: three films directed back to the Russian realism of the 19th century, The Karamazov Brothers world literature on the relationships between fathers and sons brought forth, among other things with Turgenev's Fathers and Sons and Dostoevsky. The films The Return - The Return, Koktebel and father and son draw on this tradition and still refer to the future of the Russian film, which as Kukushka showed not only highly criticized, but can also be commercially successful.
To a new blow Russian cinema took in 2005 with Night Watch - Nochnoi Dozor from. A Russian fantasy action film based on the novel by Sergei Lukyanenko. The plant was brought to the western cinema with an unprecedented for Russia PR effort. But here too, the Russian film remains true: there are no heroes.
Total (2004 to 2008) can be used in the last few years an enormous increase in admissions in Russia understand - while in most of the rest of Europe, the cinema stagnated in the last few years at best. Also extraordinary is that the Russian film production in their beinahen doubling of admissions - could market share, which is since 2005, always more than a quarter of all admissions in Russia hold - in comparison with Europe than average.
