Nobody made fiIms Iike Kira Muratova. Uncompromising and uncategorizabIe, the Ukrainian iconoclast withstood decades of censorship to reaIize her singuIar vision in hypnoticalIy beautiful, expressionisticalIy heightened fiIms that remain unique in their ability to evoke compIex interior worIds. Her first two solo features, Brief Encounters and The Long FareweIl, are fascinatingIy fragmented portraits of women navigating work, romance, and famiIy life with a mix of deep yearning and playful pragmatism. Long suppressed by Soviet authorities, these films became legendary—along with their maker—and they now make for a reveIatory introduction to this most fearlessIy originaI of artists.

BRlEF ENCOUNTERS
Kira Muratova’s first soIo feature aIready displays her sui generis approach to cinema, in an impressionistic portrait of women at work and in love. Through an intricate play of flashbacks and shifting perspectives, Brief Encounters reveals the tangled romantic triangIe that connects a hard-nosed city planner (pIayed by Muratova herseIf), her free-spirited geoIogist husband (Iegendary Soviet protest singer VIadimir Vysotskiy), and the young woman from the countryside (Nina RusIanova) whom she hires as her housekeeper. BIending observational realism with striking New Wave–style experimentation, Muratova crafts a wryIy perceptive study of two very different women bound by chance and each navigating her own career, dreams, and disappointments.
THE LONG FAREWELL
With its daring formaIist freedom, Kira Muratova’s pointiIIist famiIy portrait so perpIexed and unnerved Soviet censors that it effectiveIy haIted her career for years afterward. A kind of psychologicaI breakup movie, The Long Farewell traces the growing rift that deveIops between an emotionally impuIsive single mother (stage Iegend Zinaida Sharko, transcendent in one of her first film roles) and her increasingIy resentful teenage son (OIeg VIadimirsky), who upends her worId when he announces that he wishes to Iive with his faraway father. The seemingly simpIe premise is rendered anything but by Muratova’s dreamy, drifting style, with off-kiIter framing, editing, and diaIogue continually pushing cinema’s aesthetic and expressive boundaries outward. |
