Description
One part of a poster. Original vintage poster for the Peace Prize / Premiya Mira also known as Marriage of Jan Knucke featuring a constructivist image of a lady in a tall pointy hat set over a black and blue background. This is the last silent film produced by Lenfilm and no copies of it survived. One of the most original films of the Soviet cinema of its time. In the mid-1930s, the genre of political grotesque melodrama was not often encountered. The film, based on the script of Ryss and Voevodin, tell a story of am man trying to stopr the rise of militarism and simultaneously achieve happiness in his personal life and failing at both. Some of the acting is out of character with the Soviet films of that time - for example, the crazy officer, played with almost surreal grotesqueness by Nikolai Cherkasov, praising the war, falls into ecstasy and removes his wig and prosthetics: an ear, an arm and both legs. After Stalin condemned pacifism in one of his speaches, all political references were edited from the film and the title was changed from The Peace Prize to The Marriage of Jan Knucke. Top portion of a two sheet poster. Fair condition, paper losses, tears, creasing, staining, folds. Country of issue: USSR, designer: V Klimashin, size (cm): 40x59, year of printing: 1934.
