The Haven of Russian Culture (Films "Russian America" on the TV Channel "Kultura" (Culture)

October, 2012

<…> All four films of the Russian America cycle were made by one director (she is also a screenwriter) Nina Zaretskaya, who lives both in Russia and in America, and knows very well her heroes and the entire environment around them. The films - and in this I see the author's success - turned out to be different, unlike one another, just as their characters themselves are unlike one another. <…>

I'll tell you about music. Each episode has its own - and everywhere it helps the visual line, and does not destroy it, as often happens. At the end of each film, his "hero" signs his book to the author, Nina Zaretskaya - it is a pity that the viewer does not have time to read all the autographs!
Well, the door to "Russian America" has opened a little for the Russian public. Hopefully these films will be followed by others. <…>
