An autobiography written by the famous director, actor, screenwriter, and producer Vladimir Menshov. A sincere story about love, true male friendship, loyalty to his craft, and his homeland.
This is a very timely book. Today, many, if not all, are sorely lacking words of support from a wise, extraordinarily talented, extremely honest, and sincere person. This is how Vladimir Menshov was and remains in the public memory, having gifted audiences with cinematic masterpieces such as "The Garage," "Moscow Does Not Believe in Tears," "Love and Doves," "Shirley-Myrli," and "The Envy of the Gods."
Here, the entire creative life of Vladimir Menshov is presented in the most interesting and candid details:
- how the falling out with Vera Alentova happened and how they managed to start over,
- why Batalov initially refused the role of Gosha,
- why for most of his colleagues in the film industry, the movie "Moscow Does Not Believe in Tears" evoked feelings of hatred.
And many, many other amazing, and sometimes shocking, facts from the life of the Great Master, as told by himself. The book contains several dozen photographs from the director's family album that have never been published before.
"Time flies relentlessly...
It has been two years since Volodya passed away.
Outside the window, the seasons flash by, life goes on. The students we recruited together for the acting-directing course at VGIK will soon receive their diplomas. Our grandson got married...
And now a book of unfinished, unfortunately, memories of Volodya is being released. In it, he is alive: collected and scattered, funny and vulnerable, angry and tender, always - honest.
For me, he has not left - he is with me every minute of my life.
I did not put a wedding ring on my widow's finger, and the word 'widow' somehow feels foreign to me. Only in my soul do the familiar and bitter words constantly sound: '...But why did my love outlive you?' - Vera Alentova"
