GARY,

Well, since I don't read Russian, and the translator for the film neglected
to put the name of the director in the subtitles, I STILL don't know WHO
directed it! Alexandr Askoldov, the Russian film director was visiting here
recently and I asked him if he knew the film. He mentioned who he thought
had directed it, but I forgot to write it down. Askoldov is moving from
Berlin to Karlstad in January -- at least that is what he told to me --- so
we may have a good source of lectures on Russian film soon!
HEART OF A DOG has a very interesting opening, since it uses the dog's POV
for the opening shots. Very nice and sort of stroboscopic in nature,
skipping frames. Gives the viewer a sense of being in something different
that a human, but on a subconcious level. Not until there is an objective
shot of the dog watching a cart go by which has previously beeen in the POV
shots do you realize exactly what is going on--- and there is a voice-over
narration going on at the same time. DOG as narrator. Beats Sunset
Boulevard!
