POLYPHONY OF SOUND SPACES IN FILMS BY ALEXANDER SOKUROV IN THE ERA OF PERESTROIKA

Maria V. Bezenkova

Abstract


The article traces the main aspects of the sound-noise composition of the films directed by Alexander Sokurov during the perestroika period, as well as the beginning of the 2000s. The author applies the category of sound polyphony in the analysis of discursive or objective use of sounds, noises and music, in the feature films "Mournful Unconcern", "Days of Eclipse", "Father and Son" and documentaries of the cycle "Elegies". The progressive analysis of the structure and figurative expressiveness of those movies reveals the polyphonic elements of the sound environment (sounds of reality, noises of environment, classical music, original music). They are aimed at expressing the author's idea through various forms, such as contrast or matching to the initially specified composition of films. The scientific results of the study allow us to indicate the originality of sound noises and melodic elements in Sokurov films.
