Matthew Geyser Faina Ranevskaya "

[luka77]

Collections pepper, brutal, sometimes sad but always funny aphorisms Faina Ranevskaya (1896-1984) emerged in dozens of publications on Ranevskaya reluctant to write memoirs, but here is a paradox: it is her first biography. Biography Geyser as if Ranevskaya returns the path and fate, which occurred not so fun. Episodic roles she was set, the main unit. Her sharp tongue and inner freedom not only irritated the authorities, but also directors. Besides fame brought her comedic roles, but she was an actress and has a deep dramatic talent. Matthew Geiser creates a portrait of her heroine from the reflection meetings and relationships: with Akhmatova, Tairov, Eisenstein, Zavadsky, Utesov, Plyatt. This biography is partly amateur - without deep archival starter and with time-hopping. And yet, "amateur" from the word "love." Geiser wrote about Ranevskaya with the intonation is very personal and almost in love.
