Vassa (RUSCICO) (2 DVD) (NTSC)

A screen adaptation of the second version of A.M. Gorky’s play “Vassa Zheleznova”.

In this family children were taught from the early years to put accent on the word “my”: my ship, my house, my factory… Here they counted the money earned by other people’s labour and could lose a fortune overnight playing cards; here they indulged in utter debauchery and were sneaking on each other; they prayed and engaged in shady dealings in the name of God… Vassa had it all: money, power, clout, brains and grip. And only one thing she did not have – the future, for the year 1917 was drawing nearer and the age of the Zheleznovs and the Khrapovs was coming to an end.



Awards:
• Gold Prize at the 13th Moscow IFF, 1983.

Ekranizatsiya vtoroj redaktsii pesy A.M. Gorkogo «Vassa ZHeleznova».

V etom dome detej s yunyh let priuchali vsegda otchetlivo govorit «moj»: moj parohod, moj dom, moya fabrika… Zdes schitali dengi, nazhitye chuzhim trudom, i za noch spuskali v karty tseloe sostoyanie; zdes razvratnichali napropaluyu i vtihomolku shpionili drug za drugom; molilis i sovershali imenem gospoda temnye dela… Vse bylo u Vassy – dengi, sila, vlast, um i hvatka. No ne bylo u nee odnogo – buduschego: priblizhalsya semnadtsatyj god, i konchalsya vek ZHeleznovyh i Hrapovyh.
