Challenging reality. A retrospective of Vitaly Mansky
An intimate portrait of the final president of the Soviet Union, the imposing Mikhail Gorbachev. Mansky, without shying away from tough questions, captures the spirit of both the man and the politician, and looks back at a life that changed the world. This poetic art piece doesn’t provide a historical overview of the era, instead captures Gorbachev’s singular character where his humour, candour and joie de vivre come through.
