Last night i watched Kazaki (1961) by Vasili Pronin, adapted from a book of Tolstoy, thanks to a TV channel in Turkey that broadcasts a weird/rare Soviet film every Tuesday night at 02:00AM.
I watched many movies of the same era, and this is really one of the "best" that exemplifies the serious results of the obligatory admission to "the party line" in cinema.
A mediocre plot dealing with a love affair with propaganda sequences in the beginning and at the end of the film where we see operating harvesters, vast sown lands and cheerful peasants singing and marching, presumably, towards the bright feature of socialism.
This film so exquisitely portrays how the straitjacket called "socialist realism" as practiced in the Soviets kills cinema, transforms any kind of creative activity into mere garbage that i would really like it to be seen and debated more widely.
