The rise and fall of the Soviet Jewish Autonomous Region

The fascinating and tumultuous lives of Mikhail, Boris and Denis Kaufman (better known as Dziga Vertov) are the focus of this powerful documentary. Using rare archival footage from Russian state film archives and private collections, the brothers' lives and art are traced from Bialystok to Moscow, Paris, and Hollywood.

The legendary commander of the Civil War, the winner of Wrangel arrives in the capital at the call of Stalin. In the capital, he is perplexed to learn that the Politburo at a special meeting decided to force him to operate on a long-standing ulcer. The attending physician is convinced that the operation is not needed, but, obeying party discipline, the old Bolshevik lies on the operating table.

Late one evening in Moscow in 1937, Defence Counsel Sedov hears a knock at the door. Three women whose agronomist husbands have been sentenced to death for alleged sabotage beg him to take on the seemingly hopeless task of saving them. Sedov embarks upon a succession of encounters with increasingly powerful officials, gradually persuading them to look at the case anew. But the highest authorities are not so easily outmanoeuvered, and Sedov becomes canonised as a Stalinist zealot, with the film building inexorably to its chilling triple climax.

In the town of Bryakhimov, noble but poor widow Harita Ignatyevna Ogudalova seeks to arrange marriages for her three daughters. She maintains an “open house”, hoping to attract gentlemen well-off enough to marry a dowry-less girl for love.

One of the most popular movies tells, in an ironic manner, about complicated relationships between close people. Among the film’s achievements is not only splendid acting, but also the fact that “Kinfolk” remains as contemporary and topical as before. The relations between a son-in-law and a mother-in-law are as everlasting a theme as love itself. Especially when the role of the son-in-law Stasik is brilliantly played by Yuri Bogatyryov, and that of the mother-in-law by the incomparable Nonna Mordyukova. Marusya Konovalova, a kind, simple-hearted country woman, comes to Moscow to visit her only daughter (Svetlana Kryuchkova) and tries to help “glue together” her broken-up family. Acting with best intentions, she cannot understand why her interference provokes a stormy protest… Ruscico.com

잿빛의 이름없는 이 도시는 '구역'이라는 곳으로 철조망으로 둘러싸여 군인들이 지키고 있는 외계의 공간이라 알려져 있다. 아내의 만류에도 불구하고 스토커라는 이름의 한 사내가 칠흑 같은 어둠 속을 걸어나온다. 그는 구역 안으로 사람들을 안내할 수 있는 정신적인 재능을 부여받은 소수의 무리 중의 하나이다. 하지만 이 일은 너무나도 위험천만한 일이기 때문에 정부에 걸릴 경우엔 감옥행도 불사해야 하는 일이다. 사람들이 이 구역 안의 공간으로 들어가고자 하는 이유는 이곳에 가는 오직 한 사람만 자신의 비밀스런 꿈을 이룰 수 있다는 설이 있기 때문이다. 그 날밤, 스토커는 두 사람을 안내해 구역 안으로 들어간다. 한 사람은 유명한 작가로 이제는 영감이 소멸돼 자신의 천재성에 대해 회의를 갖기 시작하는 사람이고, 또 다른 한 사람은 조용한 과학자로 여행보다는 배낭에 더 관심을 가지는 사람이다. 버려진 공간 '구역'에서 그 공간을 향하는 길은 정해져 있지 않다. 그들이 점점 공간에 가까이 다가갈수록 규칙은 변하고 스토커는 커다란 위험에 직면하는데...
