Glumov's Diary (1923)
Directed by Sergei
Eisenstein this is a collection of inserts from an adaptation of the
play of the same name. The scenes star Grigori Aleksandrov, Aleksandr
Antonov and Mikhail Gomorov.
Watching these inserts
by themselves it is pretty hard to work out any plot or connecting
threat so in that sense this is not really a film, short or
otherwise. Where the film has it's strengths is in some nice early
special effects that show the start of the career of one of the
masters of early Russian cinema. There is entertainment to be had
here but only as a curiosity really.
2/5
