Hello! I've found your lj just occasionally. Actually due to the interest cinémathèque française. I'm fond of cinema, therefore, going through your posts I've found them pretty interesting. I'm not sure whether my journal is interesting for you, 'cause I'm writing in Russian. However, I would like to make some kind of virtual frienship with you. And I also wonder how did you find "Nine Days in One Year"?
I am (well, was if I'm to be honest) trying to learn Russian, but find it hard to stick to it. However I don't think it's at a level where I could follow your journal comfortably :-).
Nine Days in One Year : well, I liked it. It was conceptually interesting, and is of that very rich Khrushchev period boom in Soviet cinema where people all started coming out and pushing the boundaries of socialist realism with newer ideas, where the ideological emphasis showed signs of shifting from post-war reconstruction to the building of a communism. However it was still in keeping with many of the broader features and themes of the great soviet melodrama : emphasis on the screen presence of actors to bring to life the story, the sacrifice of personal happiness for the common good etc.
The problem is of course that in Paris we only get to see the really famous films of this period - not the average ones, so I can't really make a good comparison.
