Marleen Gorris Trilogy - BLU-RAY

One of Hong's most structurally audacious films, Oki's Movie comprises four short films arranged in an almost nesting doll formation. As each section reveals itself, impressions of a love triangle emerge as talented young director Jingu and his teacher, Professor Song, vie for the affection of ever-earnest film student Oki. Oki's Movie beguiles as it befuddles and, in it's moving final section, inaugurates Hong's interest in female subjectivity.

After serving alongside his fellow Russians in the first World War, Vsevolod Pudovkin was radically altered by a life-changing screening of D.W. Griffith's Intolerance, inspiring the young man to shift away from his studies in chemistry in order to pursue the cinematic arts.Pudovkin embarked on his narrative feature debut in 1926 with Mother, regarded by many as a masterpiece of the Russian silent era, and a showcase for Pudovkin's emotive approach to editing. Pudovkin followed Mother's tale of proletariat uprising with the Bolshevik-themed The End of St. Petersburg and the Mongolia-set Storm Over Asia in 1927 and 1928 respectively, dazzling the world with a trio of masterful films centered around this tumultuous and revolutionary period in Russian history.Combining Mother and The End of St. Petersburg with a brand-new remaster from Lobster Films of Storm Over Asia, Flicker Alley is proud to offer The Bolshevik Trilogy - Three Films by Vsevolod Pudovkin in a 2-disc Blu-ray collection for cinephiles, and lovers of epic, innovative filmmaking alike.Feature Films Include Mother (1926) - A father and son find themselves on opposite sides of the Russian Revolution of 1905, leaving the mother torn between them. But when her husband is killed and her son is wrongfully imprisoned in a labor camp, the mother (played by Pudovkin's wife, Anna Nikolaevna Zemtsova) is spurred into action, joining the revolutionaries in an effort to take on the Tsar's Army. Based on the novel by Maxim Gorky, Pudovkin's debut narrative feature is both a riveting tale of revolution and a showcase for the young filmmaker's cutting-edge techniques. This edition is presented with English intertitles, and features a piano score by Antonio Coppola.
