Reviews for A Companion to Russian Cinema (CNCZ - Wiley Blackwell Companions to National Cinemas)
"This is a highly interesting and thought-provoking work on a subject that many of us know only too little. The former USSR has a long history and has produced leading names from the cinematic arts and technology. This is a book that sheds light on a previously darkened field and deserves to be read by all of those interested in film making. It will be a stimulating work for students of cinema and the cinematic arts and technology and will provoke much discussion." —Eric Jukes, Reference Reviews, Volume 31, Number 4, 2017
