Defier Hollywood: la diplomatie culturelle et le cinema sous Brejnev
In: Relations internationales: revue trimestrielle d'histoire, Heft 147, S. 59-71
Abstract
After 1964, Soviet cultural diplomacy used the cinema industry more than ever to compete with its main enemy, Hollywood, in a Cold War battle across different continents. From the famous adaptation of Tolstoy's War and Peace (1965) to the now forgotten military saga Liberation (1971), the first part of the Brezhnev era witnessed an important effort by Moscow not only to recover cinematic territory from Hollywood, but also to counter the Western films whose vision of history contradicted the Soviet vision. Although these efforts seem disappointing, the analysis of co-productions shows that in reality the traditional model of interpretation (efficiency v inefficiency) needs to be reconsidered when studying Soviet cultural diplomacy. Adapted from the source document.
