| Summary: | Following Joseph Stalin's death in 1953, the Soviet Union experienced a dramatic resurgence in cinematic production. The period of the Soviet Thaw became known for its relative political and cultural liberalization. Its films, formally innovative and socially engaged, were swept to the center of international cinematic discourse. In 'The Cinema of the Soviet Thaw', Lida Oukaderova provides an in-depth analysis of several Soviet films made between 1958 and 1967 to argue for the centrality of space, as both filmic trope and social concern, to thaw-era cinema. |
