Psychologist Vladimir Rakovsky has an easy solution. He is a tutor of his own \u201cSchool of Seduction\u201d and runs highly priced courses, simply titled: \u201cHow to seduce rich men\u201d. In <a href=\"https:\/\/rigaiff.lv\/films-2019\/pavedinasanas-skola\"><em>School of Seduction<\/em><\/a> we witness Rakovsky teaching three young women how to seduce a man, and just as importantly \u2013 how to keep him. It\u2019s not easy. Seven years of recordings by the filmmaker Alina Rudnitskaya paint a sometimes tragicomic picture of gender roles and femininity in Putin&#8217;s Russia.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/rigaiff.lv\/programme-2019\/artdocfest-riga\/\"><em>ARTDOCFEST\/RIGA<\/em><\/a> is curated by Artdocfest, the largest documentary film festival in Russia that has cut the state support for this significant event.<\/p>","bs_screenings":[{"Screening":{"bs_id":"292685","subtitles":"","audio_in_headphones":"","bs_imported_date":"","bs_imported_time":""}}],"bs_imported_date_0":"","bs_imported_time_0":"","bs_imported_date_1":null,"bs_imported_time_1":null,"bs_imported_date_2":null,"bs_imported_time_2":null,"sorttime":"","sortdate":"","bs_id0":"292685","bs_id1":null,"bs_id2":null,"custom_additional_content_small":null,"link":"https:\/\/rigaiff.lv\/en\/news\/artdocfest-riga-atklasanas-filma-par-bagatu-viriesu-pavedinasanu","original_title":null,"director":null,"country":null,"year":null,"festival_year":null,"runtime":null,"languages":null,"sub_languages":null,"description":null,"images":null,"in_cinemas":null,"on_demand":null,"not_available":null,"rights_expiry_date":null,"online_only":null,"poster":null,"price":null,"eyelet_embed":null,"available_until":null,"geographical_availability":null,"synopsis_preview":null,"trailer_url":null,"custom_supporter_title":null,"supporter":null,"available":null,"geographical_availability_custom_short":null,"geographical_availability_custom_long":null,"subtitle_language_online":null,"cinesend_id":null,"online_price":null,"online_bs_id":null}
