Movie: Oleg Klimov. Letters to Myself

  • HomePage

  • Overview

    For twelve years, military photographer Oleg Klimov recorded the collapse of the Soviet Union on film. He was present in almost all military and ethnic conflicts in the 90s. His photographs were on the front pages of many Western newspapers, as dumb witnesses of the wars in the former Soviet Union. But Oleg’s career also influenced his personality. After a few quiet years, he suddenly finds a military trauma in himself. Driven by inner longing, he returns to some places where he photographed people during the war: in Nagorno-Karabakh, Abkhazia and Chechnya in order to find those who are depicted in the pictures.

Players, or Oleg Will Come Out Now(ru)

2005-07-06

Oleg Menshikov is one of the most unsolved actors in both cinema and theater. A trail of rumors and opinions accompanies each of his new work. There are many more people who have heard about his theatrical works than those who were lucky enough to see them. Some people adore him and others do not forgive the slightest mistakes. Pyotr Shepotinnik was lucky enough to be admitted to the creative laboratory of actor and director Menshikov and freely observe how film roles and stage productions are created — the performances of Griboyedov's "Woe from Wit" and Gogol's "Players", which had a noisy fame.
