Melnikov 2023

Directed by Marina Mariya Melnik

1925. International Art Exhibition in Paris. The chief architect of the European avant–garde, Le Corbusier, declares: "... the only thing that deserves attention is the Konstantin Melnikov pavilion." Since then, the whole world has been following the fate of the Soviet architect. He designs Lenin's sarcophagus, builds garages and clubs, but, most importantly, creates his own house. The house that would become the pinnacle of his work, and later a prison for the author himself. The architect's career will end with his student, who gave him a ban on the profession. And all subsequent projects will remain on paper. What did the architect-star of the Russian avant-garde leave behind? About this in the documentary "Melnikov".
