Dead Souls

Directed by Pyotr Chardynin

With Ivan Kamskiy, Vasili Stepanov, Pyotr Chardynin, Adolf Georgievskiy and Antonina Pozharskaya

Film adaptation of excerpts from Nikolai Gogol's novel of the same name. Only two episodes are recreated faithfully: Chichikov's visit to Sobakevich and Chichikov's visit to Plyushkin. These episodes are followed by a series of scenes in which other characters appear without any connection with the plot. In the finale, everyone is photographed next to the bust of Gogol.
