Storm Over Asia
The last of the three great films that V.I. Pudovkin directed in the 1920s, Storm Over Asia (1928) is an acknowledged classic of Soviet silent cinema. Filmed largely on location in Mongolia, the film has an authentic documentary feel, though the story is a stirring melodrama. It concerns a young fur trapper (Val...

The last of the three great films that V.I. Pudovkin directed in the 1920s, Storm Over Asia (1928) is an acknowledged classic of Soviet silent cinema. Filmed largely on location in Mongolia, the film has an authentic documentary feel, though the story is a stirring melodrama. It concerns a young fur trapper (Valeri Inkizhinov) who, after being captured and sentenced to death by British occupying forces, is mistaken as a descendant of the great warrior Genghis Khan. He then becomes a puppet ruler for the British in their war against the Soviet partisans. Once he attains his status, however, he must decide where his loyalties lay.
Pudovkin enjoys caricaturing the foreign (British) troops and the medieval rituals of a Buddhist temple, but it's out on the Siberian steppes that he really comes into his own, with panoramic shots of the vast landscapes. Together with Mother (1926) and The End of St. Petersburg (1927), Storm Over Asia (also known as The Heir to Genghis Khan) entitles Pudovkin to be ranked with Sergei Eisenstein and Dziga Vertov as a master of the Soviet montage style, which he expounded in his book Film Technique (1929).
This edition has been transferred from 35mm preservation elements, and represents a more complete version of the film than has been previously released. A stirring score by Timothy Brock, as performed by the Olympia Chamber Orchestra, accompanies the film.

The story of a ten year old boy who, as most of the children in Yugoslavia of the 1950s, can hardly imagine his life without the great national leader - marshal Tito. After winning the contest for the best composition, he is rewarded with the participation in "Tito's native land" march. This march will be a difficult temptation for him. Unaccustomed to nature, long walks, independent living and harassed by the teacher, Stalinist, he fails, gets lost in the mountains and his life changes.
Un film qui sort de l’ordinaire : signé par un des meilleurs cinéastes de l’ex-Yougoslavie, le serbe Goran Markovic, il a été tourné en pleine guerre serbo-croate. On pourrait alors penser qu’il s’agit d’un horrible drame. Mais non.
Le héros est Zoran, un gosse très gourmand et plutôt rondelet. Ses occupations, en 1954, se partagent entre son amour pour une orpheline de guerre et sa passion pour Tito. Il va être amené à participer à "La marche des enfants au pays natal de Tito" qui se terminera par une réception chez le dictateur. Zoran commence à mûrir, voit son illusion amoureuse pour Jasna se dissiper et comprend qu’il préfère les gâteaux à Tito.
