Reviews
  • Anatoly Vasiliev
    theater director and teacher,
    creator of the theater "School of Dramatic Art"
    How can one call a student a student from whom the teacher should learn? The three parts of the brilliant book "Dramaticon" are the three graces, the three muses, the three goddesses with whom Paris of Troy could have easily become entangled. I won’t single any of them out as the most excellent, nor will I value one more than the others. I will merge all myths, blend all times and covenants, and the golden apple of discord or knowledge. I'll devour it myself for my own pleasure; I won't share it with others, even though many will be present. Many readers, both professionals and amateurs, will savor the work of Rachid Nougmanov, treating it as the fruit of knowledge on cinema, theater, and other arts to access the portal of the real—the realm of true arts—from the paradise of their own non-existence. I am pleased that he has provided them with such a joyful opportunity.
  • Timur Bekmambetov
    film director, screenwriter, and producer,
    founder of Bazelevs
    One book systematically and captivatingly chronicles the experiences of many filmmakers. This highlights the evolution of cinematic language at the brink of a significant transformation tied to the rise of artificial intelligence in our lives. I deeply regret not having this book sooner; many mistakes could have been avoided!
  • Andrey Zvyagintsev
    film director and screenwriter
    I can't imagine how it was possible to overcome such an ambitious task! How, standing at the foot of such a majestic mountain, can one dare to climb it? However, studying this work, condensed into nearly 900 pages of text, certainly provides experience as an unexpected and generous gift. Thank you, Rachid.
  • Adilkhan Erzhanov
    film director and screenwriter
    It is essential to study drama under Nougmanov because he is a modern myth-maker in cinema, and his unique perspective always offers a fresh take on well-known canons. Undoubtedly, this serves as a true storytelling textbook, crucial for all filmmakers.
