Career

He rose to prominence in the west with his 2009 picture Room and a Half starring Grigory Dityatkovsky, Sergei Yursky, Alisa Freindlich) about Joseph Brodsky.^[5]^[6] Although Khrzhanovsky's 1966 dark comedy There Lived Kozyavin was clearly a comment on the dangerous absurdity of a regimented communist bureaucracy, it was approved by the state owned Soyuzmultfilm studio. However, The Glass Harmonica in 1968, continuing a theme of heartless bureaucrats confronted by the liberating power of music and art, was the first animated film to be officially banned in the Soviet Union.^[7]
