'Window to Paris' is a 1993 Russian comedic drama film directed by Yuri Mamin.

Plot



In the film, which is set in the 1990s, a magical portal connecting Saint Petersburg with Paris is discovered. The main character, Nikolai Chizhov, is a school music teacher and a member of the Russian intelligentsia.

Reception



Mamin considered it unfair that the film was not chosen as the official Russian submission for the 1994 Academy Award for Best International Feature Film, asserting that this was due to the personal and political influence of Nikita Mikhalkov.[http://www.svobodanews.ru/content/article/1949624.html] Yuri Mamin's 2010 interview for Radio Liberty[http://www.vppress.ru/stories/yuriy-mamin-okno-v-parij-2-poyavitsya-esli-budut-finansy-8418] Yuri Mamin's 2010 interview for Vecherny Peterburg (The Evening Petersburg)[http://mycityua.com/articles/interview/2010/08/30/144256.html] Yuri Mamin's 2010 interview for ' -' (The Kiev-Style Newspaper)
