Abstract

The article discusses Aleksandra Svininaʼs film on Cvetaevaʼs life in France which traces her links with European culture to Cvetaevaʼs family upbringing, her childhood and her adolescence. The film was made in 2010 and was well received by the audience both in Russia and in France. It utilises many biographical materials and findings of Cvetaevaʼs biographer and translator Veronique Lossky as well as Cvetaevaʼs own autobiographical writing. The film enables the audience to visualise Cvetaevaʼs life in France and her self-representation as a Russian émigré author.
