In this amply illustrated book, Hellman and Rogachevskii tell the fascinating story behind the screen adaptation of one of the most impactful novels of all times. Despite its huge global success, Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn refused all offers to have his One Day in the Life of Ivan Denisovich turned into a movie for many years for artistic reasons. It took the full resolve and commitment of the Finnish director Caspar Wrede to bring this challenging project to fruition, eight years after the novel had been published.
This second, expanded edition of ‘Filming the Unfilmable’ offers an all-encompassing account of the movie’s production, reception and impact. Filled with little-known facts, it also gives unique and valuable insights into Solzhenitsyn’s complex relationship with the art of filmmaking.’
