While lacking the grandeur and narrative technique of Sergei Eisenstein's Battleship Potemkin, this French film from Pathe makes a decent job of recreating key moments from the Russian revolution of 1905 in Odessa. 　　A dramatization of the uprising in Odessa, Russia in 1905: A ship's crew, tired of being mistreated, mutinies and takes over their ship. When they reach land, a sailor who died during the mutiny is made a martyr, inspiring an uprising in the city. Then the authorities decide to repress the revolt with a brutal show of force.

Beginning in 1881 this short yet comprehensive documentary tracks the downfall of the Romanov dynasty and the evolution of Lenin's Ulyanov family, from the terroristic acts and subsequent hanging of his brother to his own hunger for a revolution.

这部影片聚焦于十月革命的悲剧性事件。其情节涵盖了1905年至1924年这一时期——这是一个艰难的时代，它不仅影响了俄罗斯人民的命运，也对20世纪的全世界产生了影响。

前苏联的芭蕾舞者搭上一驾被劫往苏联的飞机，飞机落地后，他被软禁在一栋公寓之中，公寓里住着一位黑人和他的俄籍妻子，他被迫再次担任波修瓦芭蕾舞团的舞者，他一心只想逃…… 　　该片是关于一个俄罗斯舞蹈艺术家的传奇故事，男主演、俄罗斯著名芭蕾舞演员巴希利科夫的舞蹈精彩得让人窒息，催人肝胆——那是一个聚光灯下的白夜，一样的无日无夜、无边无际、无始无终，一种精神病人眼中的灰，只有一个满台奔跑的旋转的影子是其中的亮点 。巴希利科夫抠眉凹眼，有着自然卷曲的金发，不高但结实的身材，他有一种天才式的激情和技能，以及超乎常人的快速旋转能力，无论腾空于任何位置，落地时都不会失去他的平衡……。影片中不仅可以看到巴希利科夫令人心动的表演，还可以看到伊莎贝拉·罗塞里尼这 位著名影星英格丽·褒曼之女的秀丽面庞。而由著名黑人歌星Lionel Richie演唱的影片插曲《Say you, Say me》，更是脍炙人口闻名于世，获得1985年第58届奥斯卡最佳电影歌曲奖。 　　为追求艺术上的自由，享誉国际的苏联芭蕾舞演员尼古拉·德罗钦科在八年前以政治避难为由逃到了美国。一次，在前往日本表演时，发生了故障的飞机被迫降落到了苏联的西伯利亚空军机场上。苏联方面将飞机上的其他人全部放行，独独将尼古拉留下，以此向国内外表明叛逃者又改变了政治信仰，回归了祖国。为感化尼古拉，克格勃切伊科上校找来为抗议美国侵略越南而逃到苏联的美国踢靼舞演员雷蒙德·格林伍德。由于不能理解对方为什么要逃离自己的国家，尼古拉和雷蒙德间产生了敌对和抵触的情绪，在增进对对方的了解后，双方才逐渐友好起来。尼古拉同意回到以前工作的基洛夫芭蕾舞团，其目的是为了找机会再次出逃。雷蒙德的立场发生了转变，他成功地掩护尼古拉逃离了苏联，自己却被抓了起来。雷蒙德被当作人质，同另一名被捕的苏联间谍交换，回到了美国。 　　这部反苏倾向的冷战片是好莱坞出品的具高度技巧的影片，故事虽然老套，却很吸引人：一个苏联叛变者逃到了西方，而一个美国叛变者因理想的破灭又逃到了苏联。“白夜”是一个隐喻，既指苏联北回归线以北的太阳长年不落的地区，也可喻指一个真实的发生在白天的噩梦，正因为格外得明亮而荒谬，所以才格外得恐怖。从苏联叛逃的芭蕾舞演员米哈伊尔·巴雷什尼柯夫扮演了片中的尼古拉·德罗钦科，他出逃的动机同他扮演的角色相似：是为了艺术的自由。看来，艺术家必须在祖国和艺术间作出抉择。虽然此片不是他的自传，但米哈伊尔以源自相似经历的内心共鸣将这一角色演绎得生动自如、令人信服

Considered to be the first animated Soviet film, Soviet Toys was made by the acclaimed documentary film director Dziga Vertov. It is based on political caricatures by V. Deni which appeared in the newspaper “Pravda.” Russians refer to the ornaments on their New Year’s trees as “toys.” 　　After the Revolution and the Civil War, Russia was in financial ruin. To jumpstart the economy, Lenin introduced the New Economic Policy, a form of limited capitalism. NEP successfully revived the economy, but there was much resentment among the party faithful of the NEP-men who became wealthy and lived lavishly. 　　Irina Margolina (documentary filmmaker): Vertov did this film to advertise the production abilities of the new advertising agency/filmmaker Goskino, for whom he had just gone to work (the organization’s phone number and address appear in the film).

“It is a film from an extended series. It is hard to say who is the main character of “The Soviet Elegy.” There are more than a hundred faces of our compatriots. But, of course, it is not by chance that it is the destiny of a famous political figure, Boris Nikolayevitch Yeltsin, that bears a special accent in the film. Though he got to power following quite typical ways, his uncommon character puts him out of the ordinary, and in the author’s opinion it may be determined by his uncommon human nature. Our hero exists within the tragic pattern of the soviet socialist life. He is a character of a drama, of which he is one of the authors. “The Soviet Elegy” can hardly be called a documentary film in the proper sense. Of course, the author guarantees the accuracy of chronology, but he insists on an artistic mode of thinking, not on a political or historical investigation.”
