Tarkovski/Faulkner (2/2) Тарковский/Фолкнер

Andrei Tarkovsky’s Radio Production of William Faulkner’s TURNABOUT (1965) Audio : Russian по-русски In the fallow periods between films, as he awaited approval for screenplays, budgets and shooting schedules, Andrei Tarkovsky was rarely idle. In 1965 he produced William Faulkner’s Turnabout for Soviet radio. Conceived during Nikita Khrushchev’s Thaw, like Andrei Rublev, Turnabout was completed only after Khrushchev lost power. Because of its perceived pacifism and unusual sound, until the 1990s Turnabout was broadcast only once (14 April 1965), on Central Asian Radio (in place of the regular nocturnal concert of classical music).
