Сергей Астахов, или Механика киноискусства
A film about the life and work of cinematographer Sergei Astakhov, who has directed more than seventy full-length films, including the cult films “Brother” and “Brother-2”, the public’s favorite film “In Love of His Own Will”, and the most complex films of recent times – “Salute” -7”, “Heart of Parma” and many others. The secret of Astakhov’s success is a unique combination of artistic intuition with the talent of an engineer-inventor. The film shows Astakhov in a variety of manifestations: on the set, and during the construction of his house, and during the construction of a chapel, and at a children's Christmas party. And everywhere he is invariably charming with his energy and love of life!
