Here is a trailer for a German documentary about Swetlana Geier, who translated Dostoevsky and other major Russian writers into German and whose translations have a status comparable to the one enjoyed by Richard Pevear and Larissa Volokhonsky’s translations into English. Sadly, Geier died Nov 7 2010.
I saw this documentary a few months ago. It was fascinating. She made some of the most cogent remarks about translating that I have ever heard.
