REVIEWED By Marjorie Baumgarten, Mon., Sept. 30, 2002
Although Dovzhenko called this movie his "party membership card," this revolutionary epic refracts a millennium of Ukrainian history through myth and superstition. The movie is silent and will be presented with live musical accompaniment (see austinchronicle.com/issues/dispatch/2002-09-06/screens_feature2.html for more on the series).
