Early Russian Cinema, Part 2: Folklore and Legend*
- 1992 ----- b & w ----- 41 min ----- vhs
- Four films that chart the emergence of Russian cinema's leading producer, Aleksandr Khanzhonkov. Drama in a Gypsy Camp (Siversen, 1908) and the unreleased Brigand Brothers (Goncharov, 1912) are typical plein air folklore subjects, the latter includes a superb early performance by Mozzhukhin. A 16th Century Russian Wedding (1909) shows the influence of history painting and Rusalka (1910) draws on French-style special effects to realize Pushkin's poetic legend. Both films were directed by the pioneer enthusiast Vasilii Goncharov and show how rapidly Russian cinema espoused national and cultural themes.
