A TV series with an open ending

The well-known Russian film critic, Yuri Alexandrovich Bogomolov (1937-2023), in his latest book reflects on the concept of humanity and the significance of cinema in preserving humanity. In particular, he discusses the role of the artist in this process. He believes that cinema is a chronicler of both misconceptions and revelations. Artistic films serve as objective indicators of the flow of life and history. The author develops his thoughts using specific examples, examining a series of well-known films, including Charlie Chaplin's "The Great Dictator," Alexander Sokurov's "Francofonia," Grigory Konstantinopol's "Dead Souls," Lars von Trier's "Antichrist," Alexei German's "Hard to Be a God," and others.
