Summary:

This is the first collection to be inspired and informed by the new films and archival material that glasnost and perestroika have revealed, and the new methodological approaches that are developing in tandem. Film critics and historians from Britain, America, France and the USSR attempt the vital task of scrutinising Soviet film, and re-examining the Cold War assumptions of traditional historiography.Whereas most books on Soviet giants have glorified the directorial giants of the `golden age' of the 1920's, Inside the Film Factory also recognises the achievements of popular cinema
