Abstract
This article analyzes the creative method of A. Zvyagintsev in the painting “Dislike”. In the process of research, techniques similar to the practice of Bertold Brecht are revealed. The work demonstrated various techniques of Brecht's “alienation”, including the parabola, the “herald”, the destruction of the “fourth wall”, etc., which are used in his film by director A. Zvyagintsev. As a result of his work, the author of the article concludes about the special use of these techniques in the creative method of the director.
