Stanislav Rostotskiy's Birthday

On April 21, 1922 in the city of Rybinsk, Rybinsk province (now the Yaroslavl region of Russia), in the family of the doctor Iosif Rostotskiy and his wife Lydia son Stanislav was born, the future filmmaker. Stanislav Rostotsky's father came from a family of Polish aristocrats, his mother had French roots.

Books, a huge number of articles, documentaries and TV shows have been written about the People's Artist of the USSR, winner of the Lenin and two State Prizes of the USSR Stanislav Rostotsky.

During his life, Stanislav Rostotsky shot 12 full-length feature films (2 of them co-authored). 4 of them are included in the FilmGourmand's Golden Thousand. Based on this indicator, Stanislav Rostotsky is included in the list of the 100 greatest directors of world cinema, compiled by FilmGourmand.

What's a pity that the last 12 years of his life, from the beginning of the 90s, Rostotsky did not make films. And he didn’t shoot because, as you can see from his interview, the conditions prevailing in Russian, "democratic", cinema, did not allow him to shoot.

In connection with Stanislav Rostotsky's birthday, we would like to remind our readers of shots from the best films of the great Master included in the Golden Thousand.
