In the "Classics" section, Anton Dolin talks about films that are considered cult classics — and offers keys to understanding them. The first Russian-language film in our series is "My Friend Ivan Lapshin" by Alexei German. According to many film professionals, this is one of the best films made in the USSR. The story of the head of the criminal investigation department Lapshin, the journalist Khanin and the theater actress Adashova unfolds against the backdrop of provincial life in the 1930s, on the eve of the Great Terror — time becomes the main character here. At first, this film was not understood or accepted, German was criticized by both his supporters and censors: some for the complex film language and "incoherent" dialogues, others for denigrating Soviet life and the unheroic image of the police. But over time, "Lapshin" became a classic. How did German come up with the film and what did he put into it? How did he choose the actors and "take" his film off the shelf? This is in the new episode of "Radio Dolin".
