IMDb 7.0

Watch it if you're a silent film enthusiast or history buff—this rare 1928 Soviet drama with Moscow Art Theater talent and striking cinematography offers genuine artistic merit. But fair warning: it's a dense political drama about early 20th-century labor activism, not a casual watch, and that 7.0 score reflects its niche appeal over broad entertainment.

Plot

This 1928 film features stylized cinematography and actors from the Moscow Art Theater in a fiction story based on the life of Jewish Labor Bund member Hirsch Lekert who attempted to assassinate the Vilna governor in 1902 to avenge the flogging of workers who participated in a May Day rally.
