SUMMARY:Film Club - Despite the Falling Snow
DESCRIPTION:      \n UK\, Serbia   2016       93 mins           Cert: TBC     \nDirector: Shamim Sarif     \nStarring: Rebecca Ferguson\, Sam Reid\, Charles Dance\, Anthony Head \nLanguage: English \nTrailer: https://youtu.be/TX-5EYUNEBU \nSet in Cold War Moscow over 1959-1961\, against the background of the escalating Russia-U.S. arms race\, as well as in an aseptically modern 1992 New York\, “Snow” chronicles two people experiencing not only the full flush of the love of their life but also the crunch of huge ethical dilemmas whose resolution will test their humanity. \nIt centers on Katya (Ferguson)\, a Russian school administrator who falls for and marries Alexander (Reid)\, a rising government star\, becoming a Kremlin wife. But she is also a spy for the U.S.\, bent on avenging her parents’ death in a Stalinist purge. When Alexander unwittingly closes the net around his own wife\, she makes the ultimate sacrifice to protect him. Over 30 years later\, as Lauren (also Ferguson)\, his artist niece\, travels to post Soviet Moscow for an art exhibition\, Alexander (Dance)\, now a successful New York businessman\, may finally discover the truth about his wife’s disappearance as he defected to the U.S.\, an event which still obsesses him. \n“’Despite the Falling Snow’ is a relatively rare film today\, an epic love story which talks about betrayal\, how people behave under the deepest political and emotional stress\,” said Kattan. \nIt was shot in Belgrade to add production values and a sense of period sweep. “We wanted the snow and the scope of Cold War Moscow\, and also the contrast between the opulent surroundings of the Kremlin elite versus most people\,” she added\, saying that the film targeted 20-plus audiences\, “intelligent men and women who enjoy literary adaptations from books\, intelligent movies with a strong narrative and classic storytelling.” – John Hopewell\, Variety \n
