Nikita Mikhalkov's stunningly evocative Russian film "Slave of Love."
(As you may know, Mikhalkov is the Academy Award-winning director of "Burnt by the Sun.") Here's a brief story description of "Slave of Love" from the IMDB: "Olga Voznesenskaya is a silent screen star whose
pictures are so popular that underground revolutionaries risk capture to see
them. She's in southern Russia filming a tear-jerker as the Bolsheviks get
closer to Moscow. Although married, she spends time every day with Victor
Pototsky, the film's cameraman. Gradually, it comes to light that Victor uses
his job as a cover for filming White atrocities and Red heroism: he's a
Bolshevik. He asks her for help, and she discovers meaning in her otherwise
flighty and self-centered life."
This original print is in Russian with English subtitles. It
is printed on low-fade stock. The physical condition is terrific and the color
is absolutely gorgeous. In all of my years of collecting I've never seen
another of Mikhalkov's films for sale. If you win this auction, you'll not only
have a very rare print; you'll also have a truly beautiful and emotionally
rewarding film.
