The Goddess
Boginya: kak ya polyubila
Synopsis
Death dominates Faina’s consciousness, and therefore the diegesis, both metaphorically and metonymically. Litvinova’s skill as a screenwriter is most apparent in the variety of ways she manages to combine death and her other theme, love, in single images or events.
