THE WOMAN WITH 5 ELEPHANTS
July 10th, 2011
THE WOMAN WITH 5 ELEPHANTS- 2009. Synopsis by Netflix. “Fyodor Dostoevsky’s five major novels — not a herd of pachyderms — are the elephants alluded to in the title of this well-crafted documentary about Svetlana Geier, an 85-year-old Ukranian woman who translates Russia’s literary classics into German. Geier’s work and her extraordinary life are closely bound up with Germany’s 1941 invasion of the Soviet Union, which first led her into serving as a translator for the invaders.” No reviews as yet. TRDB.
