Aleksei Remizov

[Simon Krysl]

Dear SEELANGS, colleagues and frieds,
apologies for yet another query that appears either simple or
impossible. I am looking for information that would help me to explain
(and above all, find) the following quote from Aleksei Remizov (I am
transcribing as cyrillic ends up transmitting as lots of question
marks no matter what I do):
"Ia predstavliaiu sebe, pochemu kino vlechet i dazhe zatiagivaet -
vysizhivaiut vechera izo dnia v den': kino - mesto obschenia v
prisutstvii tret'ego soediniaiuschego - deistvia na stsene, i pritom
takogo raznoobraznogo, chego sovremennyi teatr ne mozhet dat."
I have been looking through much, much (if certainly not all)
Remizov's published writing to find this passage to no success: not
only to locate it to quote, but to understand it. The only passage on
cinema I have found (in Podstrizhennymi glazami) suggests or supports
an image of Remizov as a literary man (and man of theatre) for whom
cinema carried little interest - should one abandon that as silly or
at least qualify it? Is there a history of "Remizov and cinema" and
has it been written about? And primarily, does anyone happen to know
where could the quote come from?
Many, many thanks - in any case.

Sincerely yours,
Simon Krysl
