Moj Syn


Of all the marginal filmmakers of the Soviet 1920s, Yevgenii Cherviakov may be the only one whose voice was heard, whose cinema became an event. The premise of Moi syn suggests a melodrama. In the very first scene, the wife confesses to her husband that their newborn son is not his. After the rediscovery of Moi syn in Buenos Aires in 2008, Cherviakov‘s silent films became The Holy Grail of Soviet cinema: his 1927 debut film Devushka s dalëkoj reki (The Girl from a Far River) now tops the rating of most wanted Russian and Soviet films.
