TWO FILMS BY MIKHAIL KALATOZOV
Experience the cinematic brilliance of Soviet director Mikhail Kalatozov with two of his masterpieces, The Cranes Are Flying and Letter Never Sent, both presented in stunning new restorations provided by the EYE Filmmuseum. Starting January 6th, this special program showcases Kalatozov’s strikingly relevant yet timeless classics, capturing universal aspects of the human experience with profound artistry.
Kalatozov’s extraordinary command of the camera, paired with visceral performances and a focus on individuals caught in the sweeping tide of history, creates a uniquely immersive cinematic experience. The Cranes Are Flying, a haunting tale of love and loss during wartime, and Letter Never Sent, an intense survival drama, stand as enduring testaments to resilience and the power of true cinema. Few filmmakers can evoke such emotional resonance while seamlessly blending technical innovation and narrative depth.
Please note that in these challenging times of war, we ensure that none of the revenue from these screenings will go towards parties in the Russian Federation.
