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"-- Provided by publisher.ferences (pages 193-203), filmography (pages 205-206) and index.
