SUMMARY:My Friend Ivan Lapshin
DESCRIPTION;ENCODING=QUOTED-PRINTABLE:Event Name: My Friend Ivan Lapshin=0D=0AEvent Url: http://www.artsboston.org/event/detail/441606537=0D=0AEvent Date Begin: 2012-06-22=0D=0AEvent Date End: 2012-06-22=0D=0A=0D=0AA nostalgic look back at Stalin's Russia just before the Great Purge began in 1937, My Friend Ivan Lapshin remains Guerman's best-known work internationally. Affectionately detailing a love triangle that develops in a small town between a police detective, his widowed friend and a local actress, the story is told from the point of view of a narrator (seen occasionally in the only color sequences in Guerman's work) remembering what he witnessed as a boy. The wealth of peripheral incidents – a theatrical troupe visits the town, Lapshin investigates a band of black marketers – allows Guerman to indulge his taste for weaving together a number of narrative strands that threaten to crowd each other out of the frame. From time to time, the villagers express their pride in the revolution and their optimism – unaware of the grim future lurking just offscreen.=0D=0A=0D=0AStart time:9pm
