Prokofiev: The Unfinished Diary (2009)

Format: Prokofiev: The Unfinished Diary DVD

To outsiders, composer Sergei Prokofiev's decision to return to the U.S.S.R. in 1936 was puzzling in the extreme. Why would the artistic genius venture back into his homeland during the worst tyrannies of Stalin? This fascinating documentary sheds light on the nearly two decades he spent living outside Russia, examining his diaries from the years 1918-36 for insights on this crucial period in his creative life. 52 min. Standard; Soundtrack: English Dolby Digital stereo.
