Film Biographies

There is such a book series in Russia – "Lives of Remarkable People" – in 2015, this major book publishing project turned 125 years old, with about one and a half thousand volumes released over the more than a century-long period. These are true bestsellers, familiar to every educated person. If printed materials of this kind consistently enjoy reader demand, then cinematic stories about famous individuals, both men and women, will always captivate a vast audience of viewers. Biopics are a specific genre. Undoubtedly, the lives of remarkable people on screen should be depicted as authentically as possible; however, sometimes for greater dramatic effect, certain facts can be presented from a particular angle, compressed or stretched within timeframes, and imbued with a degree of artistic imagination. A film based on true events will only benefit from this. We present to you a catalog that includes Russian and foreign biographical films.
