Nikita Mikhalkov's full-length feature debut 'At Home Among Strangers, A Stranger Among His Own' (1974) was received by the film people (and later rated by the director himself) quite critically. The critics said the movie was too daring and that it was a brilliant display for the young director who was full of energy and self-belief and who wanted to boast of his talents. Despite the exaggeration in displaying his directing talents, Mikhalkov achieved the goal: he was noticed. Despite being critical of his directing manners which adversely influenced the meaning of the film, the critics admitted that a new personality was born in the cinema. The author focuses on the film's game-like construction - 'historical truth' does not matter; what matters is that two teams fight against each other ('the Whites' and 'the Reds') and that one has to win and achieve a goal. What is the goal? Truth and some renewed faith in man are at stake. The game has also another face - it's a play with the cinematic medium, with an inexhaustible source the cinema is.

Szczepanski reviews a book by Lucja Demby The harmony of the world. Nikita Mikhalkov's work in film (2009). This pioneering monograph is a truly original book. This is also an excellent example of aesthetic sensitivity and writing talent that is rarely found in film literature. Demby's monograph is impressive in terms of its methodological consequence and rigorous coherence of her research perspective. Szczepanski points out, that on top of detailed reconstruction of Mikhalkov's ideology as an artist, Demby attempts to present the director's individual stylistics. He also points out, that Demby gives a true show of her erudition when dealing with the music that is used in Mikhalkov's films. Szczepanski concludes that this exceptional monograph should be translated and promoted abroad, particularly in Russia.

The authoress analyses the film 'Urga' (1991) directed by Nikita Mikhalkov, with a particular focus on how the Mongol culture is portrayed. First, the Mongol mythology and history are considered, and then she describes and analyses each of the scenes of the film, with particular attention being paid to the elements constitutive of Mongol identity. The article finishes with an optimistic diagnosis that the Mongol culture is likely to survive the time of change and unrest, simply because of the fact that adaptation, self sufficiency and lack of attachment to stability all form part of the Mongol culture. This is contrary to the rather pessimistic conclusion of the film itself.
