Serhii Paradzhanov. Bigger than Legend

The book by Ivan and Marta Dziuba consists of texts (memoir essays, articles, and interviews) that are a kind of commentary on the life and work of Serhii Paradzhanov, one of the most outstanding and original artists of Ukraine and the world. His image comprises myths and mythologemes, created mainly by Paradzhanov himself. The texts of the authors of the book expand this image most excitingly - by supplementing it with life details, plots, and conceptual interpretations of the actions of the film artist, which are equally relevant to everyday and artistic life. And this book also gives the reader an idea of ​​how Paradzhanov's creative cosmos was formed and how he transitioned from a director who worked with traditional myths of communist ideology to an artist who spoke the language of national mythologies in their avant-garde, surprisingly modern guise.

For people in love with the culture and its geniuses. Geniuses create both themselves and the world, which forms a person and humanity as a creative substance directed into the immensity of historical and cultural time-space.
