The Russian Mute
1991 · 6m
In this film, Edward Sheglanov wanted to present a person as an element of language, and see how a sign lives. The film came together spontaneously, influenced by charming stories about the jazz improvisation of Cassavetes’ films. The author associates this image with the beginning of the garrulous and fruitless 1990s.
