Let’s talk about Russia. Land of the Tsars, Vodka, Borscht and sweet little Babushkas. Right?
Wrong. Russia is a filmmaker breeding ground, where the bitter cold forces you underground to a dreary haven of vodka and living in your head. Enter the simple brilliance of Tretya Meshchanskaya.

That being said, Bed And Sofa circa 1927 is an iconic, socialist abstraction that bleeds reality dry. Silent film has never been so loud. Think things were different then? Forget it – it’s all the same folks but you gotta see it to believe it!

If you’re good at not falling asleep during non action movies and you have a penchant for the Russkies then this is your best bet.



Don’t forget the vod-kee
“The film opens in a small, bleak one-bedroom apartment in Moscow in the 1920’s, consisting of a bed and sofa during a very severe housing shortage. The film does not portray earth shaking events but the plight of the threadbare, pinched and bleak daily life under the new Soviet regime.”
