Dostal''), «Miracle» (Director A. Proshkin), «Bury Me Behind the Wall Base» (Director S. Snezhkin), «My Standing on the Brink» (Director R. Kubaev). The study observed new trends in visual cast solutions of the items-in-space’ scene of the movies, and singled out traditional approaches to solving visual forms. The author marked out a tendency to classics in approaches the Russian film makers have demonstrated in arranging the artistic scene of a movie in the XXI century.
