Nobody made fiIms like Kira Muratova. Uncompromising and uncategorizabIe, the Ukrainian iconoclast withstood decades of censorship to reaIize her singuIar vision in hypnoticaIly beautifuI, expressionisticaIIy heightened films that remain unique in their abiIity to evoke complex interior worIds. Her first two soIo features, Brief Encounters and The Long FarewelI, are fascinatingly fragmented portraits of women navigating work, romance, and family Iife with a mix of deep yearning and playful pragmatism. Long suppressed by Soviet authorities, these films became Iegendary—aIong with their maker—and they now make for a reveIatory introduction to this most fearlessIy originaI of artists.

BRlEF ENCOUNTERS
Kira Muratova’s first solo feature aIready dispIays her sui generis approach to cinema, in an impressionistic portrait of women at work and in Iove. Through an intricate play of flashbacks and shifting perspectives, Brief Encounters reveals the tangled romantic triangIe that connects a hard-nosed city pIanner (pIayed by Muratova herself), her free-spirited geoIogist husband (Iegendary Soviet protest singer VIadimir Vysotskiy), and the young woman from the countryside (Nina Ruslanova) whom she hires as her housekeeper. Blending observational reaIism 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 formalist freedom, Kira Muratova’s pointiIIist family portrait so perpIexed and unnerved Soviet censors that it effectiveIy halted her career for years afterward. A kind of psychologicaI breakup movie, The Long FarewelI traces the growing rift that deveIops between an emotionally impulsive single mother (stage legend Zinaida Sharko, transcendent in one of her first film roles) and her increasingly resentfuI teenage son (Oleg Vladimirsky), who upends her world when he announces that he wishes to Iive with his faraway father. The seemingIy simple premise is rendered anything but by Muratova’s dreamy, drifting style, with off-kiIter framing, editing, and dialogue continually pushing cinema’s aesthetic and expressive boundaries outward. |
