- Synopsis:
Filmed in 1971, Kira Muratova's 'The Long Farewell' was banned and shelved, not to be screened in Perestroika until 1987. Despite the continued censorship Muratova's work received, she still managed to emerge as one of the leading figures in Ukrainian and Russian cinema, and Russian cinema, thanks in part to 'Brief Encounters' and 'The Long Farewell' being shown in secret to film students in the intervening years when she wasn't allowed to make films. Muratova made a remarkable comeback after Perestroika and built a very successful film career from the late 80s onwards due to hen boundary pushing directorial approach and aesthetics. 'The Long Farewell' traces the rift that grows between an emotionally impulsive single mother (Zinaida Sharko) and her increasingly resentful teenage son (Oleg Vladimirsky), who destroys her world when he announces he wishes to live with his father. - Actors:
