'' A Film about Anna Akhmatova '', a film by Helga Landauer _Produced by Darya Zhuk : TurnstyleTV LLC and Das Films / USA / Russia 2008_Arts & Culture. 2x52 minutes. Russian, English. English subtitles. _SYNOPSIS: Anna Akhmatova the most famous Russian poet of her time, a ''femme fatale''. For the Russians, Akhmatova was iconic not just for what she had done, but for the majesty of what she had not been allowed to do. By the time Anna Akhmatova was twenty-five, fate had granted her every conceivable gift: poetic talent, strength of character and beauty. With the commentary of the poet Anatoly Naiman, who knew Akhmatova in her last years _MORE: Fate granted Anna Akhmatova immense poetic talent, beauty, fame and a brilliant generation. Then came the executions of her loved ones, hunger, wars, revolutions, Soviet terror, isolation, betrayal. Yet Akhmatova emerges victorious, armed with mere words of poetry that too dangerous to commit to paper had to be memorized to be preserved. _ The Film follows this story reminiscent of an antique tragedy. Its participants, aside from the heroine, include Apollo and the muses, Dido and Aeneas, from her beloved record of Henry , Amadeo Modigliani, witches and visitors, statues and sovereigns, portraits and artists, armies and gardens, Paris and Leningrad, the storyteller and eternal chorus of milling crowds. _The poet Anatoliy Nayman talks about Anna Akhmatova he knew and travels to the places she has left.

This, I gotta see. Akhmatova's poetry is amazing, she is also - as well as being heroic and romantic- gives voice to the perfect vision of womanhood and femininity.

Огромное спасибо.

Очень хороший текст.

Мне кажется, что все творцы от Бога всегда "нездешние - не из этой комнаты". Очень точно сказано!
