  1. Yakov Protazanov's L'ANGOISSANTE AVENTURE (staring, among others, the exquisite Ivan Mosjoukine), is the first production by Russian émigrés in France, made while they were fleeing the Russian Revolution.

    Thankfully it is now available for free via the Cinémathèque française, and therefore I implore you all to become better acquainted with Vanya:

  2. Le Brasier ardent (1923) written, directed by and starring Ivan Mosjoukine. Certainly one of the most wonderfully charming films you will ever see.

    The DVD is out of print, but you can rent it for 30 days via Flicker Alley vimeo.com/ondemand/33988/.
