Shukshin in the frame and behind the scenes

In the memoirs of the famous operator A.D. Zabolotsky about joint work with V.M. Shukshin on the creation of the films "stove-stoves" and "Kalina Red" from 1968 to 1974, the image of a great artist in the cinema and literature was convincingly and accurately created. A like -minded Vasily Makarovich, sharing his life and aesthetic positions, sincerely spoke about the tragic conflict of his existence in a professional environment, about the drama of his creative path.
The memories of many years of joint work on the film Stepan Razin ", which were never allowed to be born, primarily officials and associates" by profession, are of particular value. Zabolotsky, as few, knew and felt a large -scale, contradictory personality of Vasily Makarovich and tells about him frankly and tactfully. Years of professional and friendly communication led the author of the book to understand Shukshin as a highly spiritual artist who came out of the depths of the people. The book is complemented by the memories of the author of the author with the writer V.I. Belov, with the "People"s Governor" M.S. Evdokimov, sculptor V.M. Klykov, composer A.M. Volkonsky
