CGiii Comment
Destroyed by the Soviets, this lost film has been reconstructed using original slides...
The photography is remarkable...infused with a noble dignity and a tangible beauty.
It could have been a masterpiece - sadly, we will never know.
The wanton destruction of art...a continuing scourge.
Watch...
