"Lessons At The End Of Spring"
1989
Directed by Olag Kavun

A young boy's loss of innocence within a pre-perestroika Russian prison is the  Kafkaesque premise of this harrowing film. The impressive feature debut of writer-director Olag Kavun, Lessons at the End of Spring immediately places him at the forefront of Russia's groundbreaking new wave of angry young filmmakers. A landmark in the evolution of Soviet cinema. Mature theme. Russian with English subtitles.  75 minutes.
