Biography
Key Soviet filmmaker of the late 1960s and 70s who found belated international recognition when her banned works were released--thanks to Glasnost--in the 1980s. Muratova's aesthetically striking films, often with emotionally wrought female protagonists, include "Short Encounters" (1967), in which she also starred, and "Long Farewells," which was completed in 1971, banned for being "too gloomy" and released in 1986.
