Le tombeau d'Alexandre
The Last Bolshevik (French: Le Tombeau d'Alexandre) is a 1992 French documentary film about director Aleksandr Medvedkin, directed by Chris Marker.
Watch the Extrait!
This documentary tells the story of film director Aleksandr Medvedkin, throughout his life a sincere believer in communism, whose films were repeatedly banned in the Soviet Union. Modern Russian film students express their excitement at seeing his film HAPPINESS for the first time, and his contemporaries shed light on his life and work.Written by George S.
