ГОРОД-ПРИЗРАК В ПОЗДНЕСОВЕТСКОМ КИНЕМАТОГРАФЕ

Abstract

In the Late Soviet years, there was a feeling of the collapse of many former creative attitudes and traditions, the destruction or withering away of the ethical and aesthetic values ​​of the Soviet era, which was perceived as the collapse of artistry itself in its substantive and formal aspects. The blurring of the boundaries between realities and the absence of stable temporary “anchors” characterize the aura of film substance. The concept of “Ghost City” was developed on the material of the Late Soviet films “City Zero”, “The Museum Visitor” and “Days of Eclipse”. Fragmentary states, confusion of consciousness and the loss of a sense of a solid firmament under their feet, a solid system of values ​​and spiritual guidelines are also observed in the heroes of the films. There is a throwing between the fictional heroes of reality and real everyday life. The image of the “ghostly” city is characterized, first of all, by the abstractness of its geographical coordinates and the narrative model of the hive, which absorbs the arriving stranger deeper and deeper into itself.
