"[This] volume is a must-read for film and cultural studies scholars for two reasons: first, the collection addresses a major, vexed sociocultural issue over time; second, this basket of articles—all solid, some exceptional—provides new approaches to a number of important Soviet and Russian films." —The Russian Review

"The eleven articles in this anthology provide insightful studies of the Oedipal dynamics dramatized in diverse films beginning in the immediate post-Stalin period." —SEER
