  • Belovy

    The Belovs
    Belovin sisarukset
    Director: Viktor Kossakovsky
    Country: Russia
    Year: 1992
    Genre: Documentary
    Duration: 58 min

    The Belovs is a breathtaking portrait of a troubled peasant family. It's poetry in the form of a documentary. Beautifully shot in vintage black and white, the film tells the story of two times widow Anna Belova who lives together with her brother Mikhail. Blending the two personalities, Kosakovsky characterizes the true Russian soul: she is the rational worker, honest and strong - he is the drunken poet, the idealist, his philosophy fades into radical nonsense time after time.
