Plots
Alla Gerber in the book "Mom and Dad" talks about how sometimes a person wants to be completely alone. With what impatience he often awaits the departure of loved ones to invite guests. It seems to man that if they are not there, you can do anything. However, years pass by, leaving absolutely nothing left in people's memory from such a long-awaited freedom. Only fragments of Mom’s favorite plate are preserved, holes in the bookcase and stains on the cloth of a familiar desk. This is all that memory was able to save from the evenings, dad and mom were not at home.
The next book worth discussing is called Inna Churikova. It consists of two parts, between the output of which almost 30 years pass. The country has changed. The actress managed to play new roles on the stage and in the movie. Alla Gerber held six conversations with Inna Churikova. During this period, the conversation went far beyond the acting profession. It is about the most important events in life, family, childhood, changes that have occurred in society. The author admits that there are actors that are difficult to write about, especially if you want to achieve objectivity and present the material impartially. There is no desire to evaluate them in the generally accepted meaning of this term. You should not examine and disassemble them. You can talk about them only with unusual words, poetic and excited. According to the writer, at present there is no shortage of entirely scientific cinema and theater studies, which write methodologically verified, detailed quotations. In such works one can find historical circumstances, connections, analysis of images. However, the soul of the artist, as well as the art itself, quietly disappears. However, the writer acknowledges the benefits of scientific work.
Alla Gerber created a book about an amazing phenomenon in art - Inna Churikova. This work is very unusual for film history literature. The author managed to find a rare genre, which is probably most consistent with the artistic and human appearance of this actress. Inna Churikova is also an artist who simply does not accept impartial, objective writing. One should speak about her with unusual expressions, not try to classify, but empathize with her. Therefore, the genre chosen by the author seems extremely successful. This is a poem in prose, etude, lyrical monologue.
