A mysterious radio message is beamed around the world, and among the engineers who receive it are Los, the hero, and his colleague Spiridonov. Los is an individualist dreamer. Aelita is the daughter of Tuskub, the ruler of a totalitarian state on Mars in which the working class are put into cold storage when they are not needed. With a telescope, Aelita is able to watch Los. As if by telepathy, Los obsesses about being watched by her. After some hugger-mugger involving the murder of his wife and a pursuing detective, Los takes the identity of Spiridonov and builds a spaceship. With the revolutionary Gusev, he travels to Mars, but the Earthlings and Aelita are thrown into prison by the dictator. Gusev and Los begin a proletarian uprising, and Aelita offers to lead the revolution, but she then establishes her own totalitarian regime. Los is shocked by this development and attempts to stop Aelita, and then reality and fantasy become confused, and Los discovers what has really happened.

One day, a film crew uses Zina as an extra in an outdoor scene, and the cameraman, Latugin, falls in love with her. Latugin soon arranges an acting job for Zina.

Aleksandr Dovzhenko – Zemlya AKA Earth [84 min.] (1930)

Quote:
Dovzhenko’s “film poem” style brings to life the collective experience of life for the Ukranian proles, examining natural cycles through his epic montage. He explores life, death, violence, sex, and other issues as they relate to the collective farms. An idealistic vision of the possibilities of Communism made just before Stalinism set in and the Kulack class was liquidated, “Earth” was viewed negatively by many Soviets because of its exploration of death and other dark issues that come with revolution.—Jeff Walker

Aleksandr Dovzhenko, Yuliya Solntseva – Shchors AKA Shors (The Cultural Heritage) [Disc 5] (1939)

admin — Mon, 18 Jan 2021 13:52:12 +0000

The year is 1919. German troops retreat from Ukraine. The Directory, the Ukrainian national government lead by Symon Petliura, takes control of Kyiv. Meanwhile, the Bolshevik division commanded by Mykola Shchors is marching on the capital. The Bolsheviks capture the cities of Vinnytsia, Zhmerynka, and others one by one, but lose Berdychiv to Petliura’s forces. They are demoralized by the defeat. By his personal example of courage and military skill, Shchors inspires the retreating Red troops and leads them to victory over the enemy.

This film was made as a Ukrainian answer to the Vasiliev brothers’ revolutionary epic, Chapaev, much praised by Joseph Stalin. Chapaev was considered the epitome of Socialist Realism, the new art aesthetic whose primary mission was to instill the dogmas of Communist ideology. In an ironic twist of fate, Oleksander Dovzhenko, at Stalin’s personal instigation, glorifies the Bolsheviks, whose armies he himself fought during Ukraine’s wars of liberation.

Yuliya Solntseva – Nezabyvayemoye AKA The Unforgettable (1967)

admin — Wed, 06 Jan 2021 12:50:37 +0000

A young Russian woman asks a Red Army soldier to spend the night with her in the wake of the Nazi invasion. Fearing she may soon perish, the woman hopes for one night of romance before what could be a horrible demise. Black-and-white photography is mixed with color as moods change in the film. Women are captured and sent off to concentration camps or to work in brothels for the pleasure of the sadistic Germans. A Russian woman places a noose around her own neck rather than let a Nazi touch her. Some of the victims manage to escape and they try to return to their war-torn home in the Ukraine to join the defense.

Yuri Zhelyabuzhsky – Papirosnitsa ot Mosselproma aka The cigarette girl of Mosselprom [+Extras] (1924)

Review
Though many casual film fans are of the opinion that the Russian silent cinema began and ended with Montage and Propaganda, several charming romantic comedies and dramas emanated from the Soviet film industry of the 1920s. The Cigarette Girl of Mosselprom tells the tale of a young man who falls in love with the title character (Yulia Solnsteva). She becomes a famous film star, and herself falls in love–not with the hero, but with her cameraman. No one ever gets what he or she truly wants in the story, though they continue to pursue their lost dreams to the bitter end. Revelling in The Unexpected throughout, Cigarette Girl of Mosselprom is capped by an adroit surprise ending. (Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide)

Wonderful Soviet, silent comedy directed by Yuri Zhelyabuzhsky. Filmed on the streets of Moscow in the early 1920s. A young cigarette girl is seduced by the idea of becoming a film star and gives up her job. Many men fall in love with her, (who wouldn’t). Complications arise.

The cigarette girl is played by the intense, dark eyed beauty, Yulia Solnsteva. She was married to Alexander Dovzhenko and they co-directed a number of films together

The wonderfully buffoonish Mityushin (Igor Ilyinsky), a great comic creation
MacBride – the American financier

Mosselprom was a huge concern, uniting flour-grinding, confectionary, chocolate, beer and tobacco factories. It was situated in an 11 story house which was one of the highest buildings in Moscow.

EXTRAS :
2 animated shorts from the same Mejrabpom-Rus studio :
.Vavila le terrible & Tante Arina (1928 – 7mn), directed by Nicholas Khodotaev
.La patinoire (1927 – 7 mn) directed by Yuri Zhelyabuzhsky
