The Theater of I.S. Turgenev
1986
NRThe film is dedicated to the heroines of Ostrovsky’s plays—wives, cooks, actresses, matchmakers. For the most part, these are composite characters, but many of them have real-life prototypes. The author was a keen observer and recorded everything interesting in his diary. This is how the gallery of images from his native Zamoskvorechye, where Ostrovsky was born, came into being. Later, after traveling along the Volga, portraits of residents from small towns along the river were added. Alexander Nikolaevich never overlooked the details. When the playwright described daily life, the details of clothing, or the manner of speaking of a character, the hero would literally come to life.

NRGubaidulina is one of the most prominent and profound composers of the second half of the 20th century. According to many, she is the most outstanding female composer of our time. Her work reflects a desire to organically unite the qualities of Western and Eastern art, influenced by spiritual and religious concepts. Through faith, she also finds meaning in her creative work. Along with Alfred Schnittke and Edison Denisov, Gubaidulina is part of the so-called "trio" of Moscow composers associated with the avant-garde movement.
