“This is interesting. This woman, Larisa Shepitko. I've only seen this movie Wings, but Wings is an amazing movie, it's a beautiful movie, and this fantastic actress in it plays a kind of Soviet hero of the of the sort of Air Force, Soviet Air Force, and her life is kind of dreary and she has this sort of fraught relationship with her daughter. It's one of these things I don't even understand how she got this made in the Soviet Union because it seems sort of critical in some ways about, but she there's incredible sort of poetry in it. There's all this great way she uses the flying in it and stuff to talk about this woman's interior life, and it's really a beautiful movie, but I've never seen the other movie she made, so I guess now's my time, now's my opportunity.”
