Golden Palm - Mikhail Kalatozov |
Synopsis: Kalatozov's notable lyrical style was instrumental in transforming this melodrama - the ordeal of a young Russian girl forced to marry a man she does not love - into a powerful epic, which some French critics referred to as "a kind of 1941-45 War and Peace." The virtuoso camera work by Sergei Urusevsky and the performance of Tatyana Samoilova earned this film international success, including the Grand Prix at Cannes.
