Cinema of Sincerity
With Khruschev’s acknowledgment of Stalin’s crimes in 1956, sincerity emerged as a cultural imperative in the Soviet Union. The cinema of this period turned inward, insisting on ordinary characters and creating a sense of spontaneity. These changes reestablished the trust that had been corrupted by serving Stalin’s cult of personality.
