The USSR State Prize (russian: links=no, Государственная премия СССР, Gosudarstvennaya premiya SSSR) was the Soviet Union's state honor. It was established on 9 September 1966.

Mournful Unconcern
''Mournful Unconcern'' (russian: Скорбное бесчувствие, translit. ''Skorbnoye beschuvstviye'') is the third produced film by Alexander Sokurov, completed in 1983, but the fourth released one, as it was banned by Soviet authorities until perestroika in 1987. The film, set during World War I, is inspired by Bernard Shaw's play ''Heartbreak House''. Professional actors (Zamansky, Osipenko, Sokolova and others) were used alongside amateur actors, like in most early Sokurov films, and many of the trademarks of his cinematographic style were already apparent. Plot Family and friends gather in a decadent house to party. Despite their delusive distinction a raw passion for sex and violence comes to light. Background The film sparked controversy and was halted by the Soviet film authorities by cutting state subsidy for the film's budget during the production process, so it took time to find money and complete the film. It was nominated for the Golden Bear at the ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
