And Personally Leonid Ilyich is this intriguing documentary by Leonid Parfyonov that dives deep into the life of Leonid Brezhnev. The film has this reflective tone, almost melancholic, as it explores Brezhnev’s complex legacy. Parfyonov’s style really brings out the nuances of Soviet politics and Brezhnev’s role in it. The pacing varies too, with moments that linger on archival footage, giving you that chance to really absorb the atmosphere of the era. The distinctiveness lies in the personal approach—it's not just dry history but feels like a conversation with the past. Brezhnev's portrayal is layered, showing both the man and the myth, which makes it a fascinating watch for anyone into historical docs.
