About Time for Reflection
Alla and Igor decide to get married. It is the second marriage for both of them. Resentment towards her ex-husband, who is busy with science and indifferent to everyday problems, has embittered Alla. She is sure that he and his parents want to take away her child. In her anger she does not notice that she is unfair to her loved ones and makes her son unhappy.
Directed by Sergej Ashkenazy, Time for Reflection leans on a strong ensemble — Vera Alentova, Vladimir Menshov, Yuri Bogatyryov — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about drama titles of 1983.
