Film vs Film
Select two cult films to compare side by side.
Ruslan i Lyudmila Synopsis
Short and silent adaptation of Pushkin's famous poem.
L'homme des Confins Synopsis
A series of three short films by Wladyslaw Starewicz presented together as a feature. Dans les grilles de t'araignée tells the story of a fly, Dame Aurélie, who casts aside her rural life and family for the bright lights of Paris, only to find the big city less welcoming than expected. Les yeux du dragon presents an old Chinese legend, as depicted on a shattered vase shown at the beginning of the film. Finally, Amour noir et blanc sees two mischievous cupids creating havoc, including establishing a love triangle between three performers (whose appearances happen to be based on Charlie Chaplin, Mary Pickford and Tom Mix).
"Ruslan i Lyudmila" holds a slight edge in general audience appreciation, but "L'homme des Confins" offers its own unique cult appeal.
