Film "Dear comrades!" Andrei Konchalovsky was nominated from Russia to the American Prize "Oscar". This was announced by the chairman of the Russian Oscars Committee Vladimir Menshov.
The selected film tells about the Soviet demo shot of a peaceful demonstration in Novocherkassk in 1962. Julia Vysotskaya acted in the title role.
Konchalovsky himself has already commented on the news. According to the director, he is not sure that the overseas viewer will fully understand the film.
"For me, it is especially expensive that my colleagues are people, most of whom were born in Soviet power," appreciated this film. This recognition is very important to me, it means that I managed to restore the spirit of the era and, most importantly, try to tell about the controversial life of the expensive comrades - generation of our parents who have passed the war, the colossal victims of the victims of Nazism and in the shortest possible time of restored the country - quotes Konchalovsky RIA News. "A completely different question is how this attempt is clear or felt abroad ... I strongly doubt it."
