	Koktebel - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Koktebel (Ukrainian: Коктебель, Russian: Коктебель, Crimean Tatar: Köktöbel), formerly known as Planerskoye, is one of the most popular resort townlets in South-Eastern Crimea.
		Koktebel is situated on the shore of the Black Sea about halfway between Theodosia and Sudak and is subordinated to the Theodosia city municipality.
		The original name Koktebel is of Turkic origin: in Crimean Tatar it means "the land of the blue hills" (kök - blue or sky, töbe - hill, el - land).

	Koktebel (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
		Koktebel is a beach resort in the Crimea, on the Black Sea, in a geographical area where the protection of steep mountain slopes has created a subtropical climate.
		Koktebel, then, is a road movie, the story of their journey, both literally and--could it be otherwise?--metaphorically.
		Adding to the conceit of freedom though flying, as well as the attraction of Koktebel, is that the town, due to prevailing winds, is a center for gliding; there's even a monument to gliders.

	Roads to Koktebel
		Koktebel is the very simple story of a journey taken by a man and his 11 year-old son after the death of the man's wife.
		Much to the bored but quiet impatience of the son their journey is delayed and hampered – by the father's alcoholism; by taking odd jobs; and particularly by a young doctor who attends to the father's wounds after he is hurt in a confrontation with a gruff rural landowner.
		Koktebel is a tremendously assured and patient film which encapsulates the period of change from being a child to being a grown-up.

	Black Sea travel - Crimea - Voloshin's house at Koktebel
		Koktebel, in turn, adopted him, and when local people pointed out to him that the rocky profile of a bearded man, clearly visible on the nearby Kok-Kaya headland above the sea looked very like him, he saw it as a symbol of his identification with the area and referred to it in his poem `Koktebel'.
		Voloshin was one of the first to recognise his talent and continued to encourage him after his return to Moscow to face a barrage of criticism for his sympathetic portrayal of a group of White Army officers during the civil war, and the book's lack of a communist hero.
		The ground floor of the house on the Koktebel seafront is a formal exhibition of watercolours by the artist, along with a collection of memorabilia, including `Order no. 44' of 1920 - an instruction to revolutionary soldiers not to touch the house (Lenin is said to have taken a personal interest in ensuring Voloshin's safety).

	KinoKultura (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
		Koktebel is a debut feature film by two young directors, critic Boris Khlebnikov (born 1972; graduate of the Film Theory Sector of the State Institute for Filmmaking) and psychologist Aleksei Popogrebskii (born 1972; graduate of the Psychology Department of Moscow State University).
		So it is significant that the father and son are travelling not to Planerskoye (the present) but to Koktebel (the past), which was the resort of choice for the Russian intelligentsia of the pre-revolutionary, pre-Soviet Silver Age.
		In addition to being a classic road movie, Koktebel is also a buddy film, focusing on the bonds between the fellow travellers and erasing meaningless differences of age and experience, just as their lives together have blurred the distinctions between adult and child.

	Koktebel
		Koktebel is full of Petersburgers, and has been ever since the artist and poet Maximilian Voloshin settled here in the early years of this century and welcomed the northern intellegentsia and artists with open house.
		They always take rooms in the same house under the Karadag, a part of the village where the houses lurch together promiscuously on their way down the hill and, at dusk, murmurs of conversation float out into the street from vine-hung courtyards where people sit long over supper.
		(2) Although it is true to say that Koktebel is part of St Petersburg, the same could be said, with equal justification, of a number of other places on the Crimean coast, each of which attract a faithful - and rather specialized - contingent of Petersburgers year after year.

	Film Reviews \| Koktebel
		A road movie set in the countryside between Moscow and Crimea, Koktebel (the name of a Crimean city), focuses on the relationship between a father and son escaping from bad memories in Moscow.
		But these characters are not necessarily mere products of their age; Khlebnikov and Popogrebsky allow for the possibility, if not necessarily the actualization, of transcendence in all cases.
		An unnamed Father (Gleb Puskepalis), who looks to be in his late 30s, leaves Moscow with his 11-year-old son (Igor Chernevich), to escape a guilty past that includes the death of his wife and years of profound alcoholism.

	FIPRESCI - News - "Koktebel" in Cannes
		Yet this simple and unadorned odyssey, which follows the 1000-mile journey of an 11-year-old boy and his father from Moscow to the seaside resort of Koktebel in the Crimea, is a road movie of great sensitivity and human appeal.
		It was made by Boris Khlebnikov and Alexei Popogrebsky, two young film-makers who have directed shorts together but only one of whom has studied film.
		There is a sister in Koktebel who will help him start a new life.

		Considering both natural conditions and the historical and cultural "aura", Koktebel also is one of the most interesting and inviting places in the Crimea.
		In addition, there is a regular boat line from Theodosia to Koktebel, operating thrice a day (the boat pier at Theodosia is located by side of the main railway station).
		In any case, virtually no one living in tents at Koktebel, at Lisya Bukhta or elsewhere takes registering in one's head, whatever easy that may be done with paying of a corresponding fee at Koktebel.

	Koktebel - Review by Garreth Murphy - entertainment ireland, Cinema, Film Reviews (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
		A sombre Russian drama, Koktebel charts the journey of father and son across the barren Russian landscapes to the titular Crimean city where hopefully things will be better.
		Brooding and slow moving, Koktebel is a minimal drama, in which dialogue and dramatic incident are used rather sparingly.
		Somewhat reminiscent of Andrei Zvyagintsev's The Return but lacking that film's emotional penetration, Koktebel is elegant and understated, but it fails to do anything really telling with its characters.

	Feodosia Apartments: Your Guide to Koktebel's naturist beach: location and conditions (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
		The naturist beach at Koktebel occupies an approximately 700 m-long stripe of coastal line to the East of the town immediately adjoining the official equipped beaches.
		A walking distance to the naturist beach from the Koktebel center (bus station, market, post office) is about 25 minutes, and that from the center of the coastal promenade (a passenger boat pier), about 15 minutes.
		Adjoining the beach from its either end are two motorist camping sites, which provides an opportunity for those coming to the sea with their cars or caravans to stay right by the naturist beach.

	Koktebel (15) - [Sunday Herald]
		THE last Russian road movie about fathers and sons was The Return, a superb account of the damage done by errant parents, a family drama shrouded in mystery, topped with tragedy.
		Koktebel arrives with plaudits aplenty from the festival circuit, but doesn’t profit from the comparison.
		A father and his 11-year-son are on the road from Moscow to the Crimean coast, penniless and on foot, occasionally working en route.

	Koktebel (Subtitled) (Wide Screen) DVD review - Time Out Film
		Koktebel – a resort town in the Crimea – is the holy grail for a father (Igor Chernevich) and his young son (Gleb Puskepalis), whom we first encounter wandering along a remote, rural road.
		It’s hard not to compare ‘Koktebel’ to ‘The Return’, one of the year’s best films.
		They’re both Russian, of course, but both also explore a fragile father-son relationship that is clearly informed by past events of which we know (and discover) very little.

	Koktebel (2003) - Channel 4 Film review
		Winner of the grandly titled "Revelation of the Year" award at the Cannes Film Festival in 2004, this Russian road movie from debut writer-directors Boris Khlebnikov and Aleksei Popogrebsky is a curiously understated drama that benefits immensely from its evocative setting.
		As their episodic journey unfolds, the mystery of their backstory is slowly revealed: the boy's mother has recently died prompting the father, a former aviation engineer, to lose his job and slip into the depths of vodka-fuelled despair.
		The trip is his penniless attempt to start a new life and rediscover his self-respect by rebuilding bridges with his 11-year-old son.

	Total Film - Koktebel (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
		A widowed father (Igor Chernevich) with a drink problem and his withdrawn 11-year-old son (Gleb Puskepalis) embark on foot on an epic journey south from Moscow to the Crimean town of Koktebel.
		Co-directed by young Russian filmmakers Boris Khlebnikov and Alexei Popogrebsky, this is a lyrical and laconic road movie which echoes that other recently released post-Soviet tale of a symbolic father-son journey, The Return.
		It may lack the latter’s compelling mysteriousness, but Koktebel benefits from some effectively understated lead performances and accomplished cinematography, which captures the stark beauty of the autumnal landscapes its unnamed characters traverse.

	Guardian \| Koktebel (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
		A ragged Russian road movie, whose simple plot has a father and his 11-year-old son making their way to the eponymous Crimean resort, Koktebel succeeds through subtlety: there's not much dialogue but its use of gestures and glances effectively sketches a relationship that combines love and exasperation.
		Dry humour keps it light, as life's disappointments kick in.
		A beautiful aerial shot provides a fitting conclusion to a film which won five festival awards.
