VMayakovskiy

Vladimir Mayakovsky's work is perhaps the only example of a fusion of poetic and political revolutions. He became a symbol of political renewal for an entire generation and was a major figure in the Russian Futurist movement, believing that art and society would reject the past and strive for a new consciousness. Featuring stage and screen legends Chulpan Khamatova, Evgeniy Mironov and Yuri Kolokolnikov, director Alexander Shein brilliantly manages to employ a non-linear and iconoclastic style for VMayakovsy that captures this incendiary poetic talent in a dazzling, energetic collage of impressions that deftly avoids the trappings of a typical docu-drama. Presented in Russian w/ English subtitles.
