Film career

All of Lioznova's features  from Three Poplars in Plyushchikha (1967), a cult film of the 1960s, to her last movie, Carnival (1981),  are distinguished by open narratives, psychologically penetrating close-ups, and poignant musical scores.

The subtle and touching drama Three Poplars in Plyushchikha (1967) sprouted from Aleksandra Pakhmutova’s song “Tenderness”. This story of a nearly sprung love of a taxi driver and a married peasant woman won the hearts of Russian viewers, just like Casablanca gained the love of Americans.

She became People's Artist of the USSR in 1984. She worked at the Gorky Film Studio.

Lioznova devoted many efforts and much time to teaching. Among the students of Professor Lioznova there are a lot of cinematographers well-known today.

Personal life

Lioznova was never married, but adopted a daughter Lyudmila Lisina in the 1960s.

Political activity

Lioznova was Jewish and was a member of the Anti-Zionist Committee of the Soviet Public from 1983 to the closing of Committee in 1994.[2]
