The life of the revered 18th-century Armenian poet and musician Sayat-Nova. Portraying events in the life of the artist from childhood up to his death, the movie addresses in particular his relationships with women, including his muse. The production tells Sayat-Nova's dramatic story by using both his poems and largely still camerawork, creating a work hailed as revolutionary by Mikhail Vartanov.

A dramatized account of a great Russian naval mutiny and a resultant public demonstration, showing support, which brought on a police massacre. The film had an incredible impact on the development of cinema and is a masterful example of montage editing.

1969 film by Georgiy Shengelaya

A seven-hour epic adaptation of the novel by Leo Tolstoy. The love story of young Countess Natasha Rostova and Count Pierre Bezukhov is interwoven with the Great Patriotic War of 1812 against Napoleon's invading army.

Veronika and Boris come together in Moscow shortly before World War II. Walking along the river, they watch cranes fly overhead, and promise to rendezvous before Boris leaves to fight. Boris misses the meeting and is off to the front lines, while Veronika waits patiently, sending letters faithfully. After her house is bombed, Veronika moves in with Boris' family, into the company of a cousin with his own intentions.

斯大林时代（1924—1953）既是一个全面控制时代的开端，也是它的高潮时刻。经过改造的苏维埃人，既恐惧政治权力，又对它无比崇拜。他们几乎每个人都成了“耳语者”——或藏身于角落窃窃私语、互诉衷肠，或暗中迎合，成为向当局告密的举报人。许多关于苏联的历史著作都聚焦于恐怖的外 在现象——古拉格、逮捕、判刑、囚禁甚至杀害，却几乎没有人关注普通的苏联人过着一种怎样的私人生活，他们的真实想法和感受是什么。 《耳语者：斯大林时代苏联的私人生活》所关注的正是最为广泛的普通人的生存状态和内在心灵，是第一部深入探索斯大林时期个人和家庭生活的口述历史著作。尽管在书中几乎每一页都能感受到斯大林的存在，但是《耳语者》并不讲述斯大林本人，讲的是，斯大林主义如何渗入普通人的思想和情感，如何影响他们的价值观和人际关系。本书也并不试图解说恐怖的起源，或描述古拉格的兴衰；只想解释警察国家如何在苏维埃社会扎根，让数百万普通百姓卷入恐怖制度，或是沉默旁观者，或为积极合作者。正如俄罗斯历史学家米哈伊尔·格夫特所说，斯大林制度的真正力量和持久遗产，既不在于国家结构，也不在于领袖崇拜，而在于“潜入我们内心的斯大林主义”。 而对于这一切，我们绝不陌生。
