Larisa (1980) - Short Film
A loving film tribute to Russian filmmaker Larisa Shepitko, who died tragically in a car accident in 1979 at the age of 40. This documentary by her husband, Elem Klimov, includes excerpts from all of Shepitko's films, and her own voice is heard talking about her life and art. (imdb)
An international spy thriller complete with mustache-twirling British villains. Extrapolating on the true-crime assassination of Soviet diplomat Teodor Nette, Dovzhenko adds a McGuffin as classic as they come: the slain envoy's pouch, which must be returned to Russia before it's intercepted by the British secret police.
