Nothing more than you'd expect but pretty dang cool. Made me very nostalgic for the PFA.
Twenty-Six Commissars (Nikoloz Shengelaia, 1932) (theatrical)
After I watched it I expected to find it on Rosenbaum's list at least and generally to be a touted Soviet classic but it's got 20 votes on IMDb and isn't online anywhere. One of the tightest silent films I've seen for sure, aesthetically and in terms of plot rhythm it felt specifically catered to me, but the friend I saw it with was also strongly affected.
Again the only screenshot I can find online is this cropped one from the PFA's website, and only 7 votes on IMDb. The movie has some pretty shots but also felt generic throughout. Fantastic ending though, kinda puts the rest of it in perspective.
