Using the works of Deleuze, Lacan, and Kristeva, MacFadyen looks at how Riazanov's films relate to society, audience demand, and Soviet politics. In more than twenty love stories that have precious little to do with statecraft, Soviet or otherwise, Riazanov captures the willful inclusiveness of socialist culture.Comedy filmsRussia (Federation)History and criticismComedy filmsHistory and criticism.791.43/023/092MacFadyen David1964-1594436MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910815767503321The sad comedy of Elʹdar Riazanov4037498UNINA
