What Winter Cherries Is About

Igor Maslennikov’s 1985 Soviet film is set in Leningrad. Olga is an intelligent woman working at an institute and raising her small son alone. She falls in love with a married man who cannot bring himself to leave his family, and her life hangs in that unresolved state. The film builds this out of daily detail rather than accusation, and it struck a very deep chord with Soviet audiences in the eighties. It comes from a story by Nadezhda Repina. Elena Safonova won best actress for it at the All-Union film festival, and it was followed by sequels until it had become a four-film series.
