• A panorama of Russian cinema's social impact at the height of its ambition: Antosha Ruined by a Corset (Puchalski, 1916) is a racy, knowing urban comedy with Russia's leading screen comedian, Anton Fertner; A Life for a Life (1916) marked the pinnacle of Bauer's ambition to equal lavish foreign production standards; and The Funeral of Vera Kholodnaia (1919) records the vast public response to the early death of Russia's greatest star.
