Audience Member 1927. I won't expect to see scenes like those .. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/24/23 Full Review Audience Member Charming, great ending, surprisingly modern-styled acting. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/06/23 Full Review Audience Member Nikolai Batalov - my favorite silent Soviet film actor! Interesting and strange. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/20/23 Full Review Audience Member With such classic films as 'Battleship Potemkin', 'October' and 'Earth' it's easy to see why Alexander Room's 'Bed and Sofa' has been overshadowed by the more dazzling and dramatic films of the Soviet Montage experiment. But Room's film is perhaps the most sophisticated, modern and daring film made during the silent era of Soviet filmmaking. Dealing with adultery, abortions, love triangles and female self-determination, this film is not at all what Western audiences might expect coming out of the Soviet Union. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/11/23 Full Review Read all reviews
