Curioso documentario sulla grande madre Russia diretto da Romolo Marcellini e Leonardo Cortese, insieme a una certa Tamara Lisitsian mai sentita prima.
Mai sentita nemmeno io, ma leggo che sarebbe: a Georgian-born film director, who spent several years in Italy as the wife of the son of one of the Communist Party leaders and, after her return, worked as a translator of Italian films and started her own career with films based on Gianni Rodari’s works. Although Lisitzian was far from liberal in her views, her children’s films, usually very faithful to the literary models, display rare nonconformist qualities that go even further than Rodari’s books in their irony, sometimes clearly directed at the Soviet system itself. Qui una mini-biografia più dettagliata.
