Revolution

Instruktør: Benjamin Christensen

ENGLISH TEXT BELOW

Danske Benjamin Christensens Hollywoodfilm for MGM er et storslået drama om kærlighed og klasseforskelle. Stumfilmstjernen Lon Chaney indtager rollen som den lidt tilbagestående bonde Sergei, der møder den fornemme Tatjana og redder hendes liv i revolutionstidens Rusland. Da Sergei senere opsøger Tatjana for at høste belønning for sin heltegerning, bliver han skuffet: Hun elsker en anden og vil ikke have noget med ham at gøre. Men i takt med at kampene eskalerer, ser en nu sygeligt skinsyg Sergei sit snit – revolutionen gør alle lige, og Tatjana kan endelig blive hans!

Danish director Benjamin Christensen’s Hollywood film for MGM is a grand drama about love and class distinctions. Silent film star Lon Chaney takes on the role of the slightly backward peasant Sergei, who meets the noblewoman Tatiana and saves her life in revolution-era Russia. When Sergei later seeks out Tatiana to reap the reward for his heroic deed, he is disappointed: she loves someone else and wants nothing to do with him. But as the battles escalate, a now insanely jealous Sergei eyes an opportunity – the revolution makes everyone equal, and Tatiana can finally be his! EVENT LIVE MUSIC: Troels Abrahamsen.
