The Politics of Nostalgia: Ivan Goncharov’s Oblomov and Nikita Mikhalkov’s Film Adaptation
View through CrossRef
Goncharov’s novel
Oblomov
(1859) has a special status in Russian culture. Nikita Mikhalkov’s film adaptation,
A Few Days from the life of I. I. Oblomov
(1979) provides a sophisticated interpretation of Oblomov as a character who has his own life philosophy. Mikhalkov’s film adaptation follows the main features of the
derevenshchiki
(village-prose) narratives of the 1970s, with the concept of the veneration of rural lifestyle as opposed to the industriousness of the urban macrocosm. The film reimagines the past nostalgically rather than critically.
