This book is the first attempt to analyze the details of the filmmaker's Ukrainian heritage, to separate it from the outdated ideological patterns, and to critically evaluate the key themes that underlie his entire work – startingfrom the urban space tramsformations of the end of the 1920s and finishing with the preconditions of the Holodomor of 1932-1933. In addition, the book includes exclusive DVDs with restored copies of IN SPRING and UNPRECEDENTED CAMPAIGN. Both films are accompanied with unique audio tracks, containing musical underlay and commentaries from the historians."
