As part of the research, using the example of the dramaturgy of the films “Sin” (2019, directed by A.S. Konchalovsky) and “Andrey Rublev” (1966, directed by A.A. Tarkovsky), an attempt is made to demonstrate specific principles and dramatic techniques with which the task of artistic research of the phenomenon of human genius is solved in biographical films.
