Marina Vlady, an Actress During the Cold War

With stars of the screen, it is often only the Edgar Morin-like myth that remains; but viewed close up, an actress’s lifetime has more to do with destiny, and in Marina Vlady’s case, that destiny is unclassifiable, with over eighty classic films and more that were never released. It is across France, Italy, and chiefly Russia that this documentary, chock-full of rare archive material, takes us as it traces the journey of a free woman, making this not simply a documentary but a political film.
