“A Tragedy of the Great War”
At the height of the October Revolution during the 1919 allied intervention in Arkhangelsk, the exploits of one-legged Canadian soldier Lt. John Boles are told, after he is taken in from the cold by a dysfunctional Russian family and mistakes a local woman for his presumed dead lover.
A disorienting, dreamlike journey through a revolution-scarred landscape. Its silent, black-and-white surrealism evokes a profound sense of displacement and existential searching, like a half-remembered dream.
