Cold House 2004

Directed by Marianna Kireeva

The era of "agitpropfilm" is coming in the domestic cinema. The private life of an individual is declared a fiction. He is either expelled or dissolves into the orderly ranks of the working masses. Modern reality is presented on the screen as a field of incessant class battles. And only the arrival of sound in the early 30s gradually returns Soviet cinema to simple human values.
