The Goddess: How I Fell in Love / Boginya: kak ya polyubila / Богиня: Как я полюбила (2004) DVD9

Known for her ethereal voice, stream-of-consciousness language, and retro blonde glamour, Renata Litvinova has been something of a mass-media icon for over a decade thanks to her roles in several films by Kira Muratova and her frequent television appearances, often as a fashion commentator. She is also a VGIK-trained screenwriter, and has written or co-written a handful of feature films. She recently established an international presence with her role in Peter Greenaway's The Tulse Luper Suitcases, Part Three: From Sark to Finish (2003). The Goddess is Litvinova's debut as a director of acted cinema, and it showcases all of these personae — writer, actress, cult figure, Muratova protegee — in ways that illustrate both the drawbacks and advantages of being one's own muse.

In The Goddess, Litvinova plays Faina, an eccentric detective whose unorthodox methods have earned her both admiration and contempt among her colleagues. Faina's partner is hopelessly in love with her, but Faina is either aloof, uninterested, or afraid to reciprocate. The film starts off with an investigation into the disappearance of a little girl...
