Description
[Disc 1] Le bonheur: Drawn from the depths of Russian culture and folklore, Alexander Medvedkin takes a humorous shot at the Revolution in a collation of episodes loaded with satire, in a film that was banned for forty years in Stalinist Russia.
Description
[Disc 2] Le tombeau d'Alexandre: Using a portrait of Russian filmmaker the late Alexander Medvedkin, also a personal acquaintance, Marker seeks to investigate the tragedy of this century through a partial rewriting of the history of Russia. He does this in the form of six fictitious video letters to Medvedkin, pausing at important phases in Soviet history - the revolution, the civil war, Stalinist repression, the war and glasnost - to ask what the filmmaker was doing at the time. Includes interviews recorded by Marker on visits to Moscow and clips from Medvedkin's films.
