00:00:09,343 --> 00:00:12,596
(water splashing)

4
00:00:31,615 --> 00:00:34,701
(machine whirring)

5
00:00:36,411 --> 00:00:38,330
(guitar music)

6
00:02:06,543 --> 00:02:08,879
Dah.

7
00:03:59,030 --> 00:04:03,326
(water bubbling)

8
00:04:07,497 --> 00:04:11,418
(dramatic music)

9
00:06:34,728 --> 00:06:37,647
(film static)

10
00:07:52,013 --> 00:07:53,932
(upbeat news music)

11
00:09:01,875 --> 00:09:04,586
There actually were four rolls

12
00:09:04,753 --> 00:09:07,589
of 35 millimeter films.

13
00:09:07,756 --> 00:09:11,176
And I was hoping
this was something very old

14
00:09:11,342 --> 00:09:14,262
because they looked old.

15
00:09:14,429 --> 00:09:19,601
What I started doing is
I put newspaper on the floor

16
00:09:19,768 --> 00:09:23,563
and then I started
unwinding the films.

17
00:09:23,730 --> 00:09:27,108
There were a lot of rust
on the reels.

18
00:09:27,275 --> 00:09:29,944
We had to scrape that rust away.

19
00:09:30,111 --> 00:09:34,657
There's still some
brown dust in the films.

20
00:09:34,824 --> 00:09:36,618
You can have a look at them.

21
00:09:36,785 --> 00:09:38,995
(clicking)

22
00:10:27,710 --> 00:10:29,045
What is...

23
00:10:29,212 --> 00:10:33,007
Is this?

24
00:10:33,174 --> 00:10:36,302
What is this?

25
00:10:36,469 --> 00:10:38,346
(TV static)

26
00:13:32,437 --> 00:13:35,398
(banging)

27
00:13:55,960 --> 00:13:57,641
Well, I would say that
Zharov was obviously

28
00:13:57,712 --> 00:14:02,592
one of the most popular actors
of the Soviet era.

29
00:14:02,717 --> 00:14:06,387
Both in theater,
most in film of course.

30
00:14:06,554 --> 00:14:10,516
He was known by 99 percent of
the population of this country.

31
00:14:10,683 --> 00:14:12,268
And now if we're talking
about Hollywood

32
00:14:12,435 --> 00:14:14,354
it's the level of popularity
of Humphrey Bogart

33
00:14:14,520 --> 00:14:15,980
or Clark Gable.

34
00:14:16,147 --> 00:14:17,607
This scale.

35
00:14:17,732 --> 00:14:19,567
The highest award in Russia

36
00:14:19,734 --> 00:14:21,903
was People's Artist of the USSR.

37
00:14:22,070 --> 00:14:23,821
And he got this in 1949.

38
00:14:23,988 --> 00:14:27,450
You can more or less easily
spot out, let's say,

39
00:14:27,617 --> 00:14:31,579
a dozen films out of the,
whatever, 50 or 60 that he made

40
00:14:31,746 --> 00:14:34,415
where he is really acting.

41
00:14:34,582 --> 00:14:36,262
And when there was
a strong director's hand

42
00:14:36,417 --> 00:14:39,170
like the hand of Eisenstein,
for example, in cinema

43
00:14:39,337 --> 00:14:42,131
then he was different
and very different.

44
00:15:00,525 --> 00:15:03,945
This film was supposed
to be a rehabilitation

45
00:15:04,112 --> 00:15:06,197
of Stalin's violence
so that there is violence

46
00:15:06,364 --> 00:15:08,533
but it is needed
for the sake of,

47
00:15:08,699 --> 00:15:10,020
you know,
having a strong country.

48
00:15:10,118 --> 00:15:11,494
So Stalin was in favor
of the film,

49
00:15:11,661 --> 00:15:13,581
or the first part of it
and then the second part,

50
00:15:13,621 --> 00:15:15,331
that's exactly where
Zharov appears,

51
00:15:15,498 --> 00:15:18,209
this is a film about how cruelty

52
00:15:18,376 --> 00:15:20,586
can only give birth to cruelty.

53
00:15:20,753 --> 00:15:22,088
And that it is impossible
to stop

54
00:15:22,255 --> 00:15:24,006
even if the purpose is noble.

55
00:15:24,173 --> 00:15:27,468
And how the Tsar
eventually becomes a maniac

56
00:15:27,635 --> 00:15:29,512
and a character that Zharov
is playing

57
00:15:29,679 --> 00:15:33,391
is his main weapon,
should we say, his axe.

58
00:16:33,075 --> 00:16:35,745
For the first one,
they all get a Stalin Prize.

59
00:16:35,912 --> 00:16:38,664
When Stalin saw the film,
the second part was banned

60
00:16:38,831 --> 00:16:42,335
and there was a third one
which was never completed.

61
00:21:05,473 --> 00:21:08,893
(indistinct chattering)

62
00:21:20,070 --> 00:21:23,949
(solemn music)

63
00:23:05,509 --> 00:23:07,469
(static)

64
00:23:14,685 --> 00:23:16,145
(accordion music)

65
00:26:03,270 --> 00:26:06,190
(muffled breathing)

(indistinct chattering)

00:39:04,509 --> 00:39:07,637
(accordion music)

70
00:39:33,496 --> 00:39:36,916
(guitar music)

71
00:39:37,083 --> 00:39:40,795
(static)

72
00:40:02,191 --> 00:40:04,736
(ominous music)

73
00:40:31,512 --> 00:40:33,848
(clacking)

74
00:42:41,225 --> 00:42:43,770
(overlapping remarks)

75
00:43:32,985 --> 00:43:35,321
(soft guitar music)

76
00:44:19,323 --> 00:44:21,367
(shattering)

77
00:44:32,128 --> 00:44:33,629
(gunshot firing)

78
00:44:33,796 --> 00:44:35,423
(chuckling)

79
00:44:43,347 --> 00:44:45,892
(laughing)

80
00:44:59,322 --> 00:45:01,365
(chuckling)

81
00:45:51,123 --> 00:45:53,084
(ominous music)

82
00:50:20,851 --> 00:50:23,103
He had three Stalin Prizes

83
00:50:23,270 --> 00:50:25,105
all in the '40s.

84
00:50:25,272 --> 00:50:28,275
So, this was his position
by the end of the '40s.

85
00:50:28,442 --> 00:50:31,237
At the beginning of the '50s,
there was a very famous

86
00:50:31,403 --> 00:50:34,073
anti-Semitic campaign,
Case of Doctors.

87
00:50:34,240 --> 00:50:36,116
And his wife was Jewish,

88
00:50:36,283 --> 00:50:38,661
and her father was
a very famous physician,

89
00:50:38,827 --> 00:50:40,704
and it was one of those
who was accused

90
00:50:40,871 --> 00:50:44,792
as having a plot against
a group of Soviet authorities.

91
00:50:44,917 --> 00:50:46,377
Nothing horrible
happened to him.

92
00:50:46,544 --> 00:50:47,896
He was never arrested,
he was never, you know,

93
00:50:47,920 --> 00:50:49,713
kicked out of his theater,
but this was not

94
00:50:49,880 --> 00:50:51,131
the best time for a career.

95
00:51:41,682 --> 00:51:43,475
(somber music)

96
00:55:00,589 --> 00:55:02,925
(melancholic music)

97
00:55:20,943 --> 00:55:23,487
(indistinct remarks)

98
00:57:27,986 --> 00:57:29,613
(accordion music)

99
00:57:40,707 --> 00:57:43,043
(solemn music)

100
01:00:03,350 --> 01:00:06,228
Zharov was getting older,
and so what was left

101
01:00:06,394 --> 01:00:07,813
are those comical parts,

102
01:00:07,979 --> 01:00:10,190
more or less repeating
his clichés.

103
01:01:06,872 --> 01:01:08,672
The Village Detective,
or the Rural Detective,

104
01:01:08,832 --> 01:01:11,793
for many a symbol
of this downfall,

105
01:01:11,960 --> 01:01:13,879
and a film which was,
I would say, despised

106
01:01:14,045 --> 01:01:17,674
by the critics and by
the general cinephiles, right?

107
01:01:17,841 --> 01:01:19,217
But, loved by the audience,

108
01:01:19,384 --> 01:01:22,053
and it was very successful
at the box office.

109
01:01:22,220 --> 01:01:25,015
So successful that
Zharov eventually made

110
01:01:25,182 --> 01:01:27,058
several sequels to the film,

111
01:01:27,225 --> 01:01:29,853
and was playing the same part
for almost a decade.

112
01:01:49,456 --> 01:01:52,000
(somber music)

113
01:08:04,372 --> 01:08:06,708
(solemn accordion music)

114
01:08:35,194 --> 01:08:37,322
Ah.

115
01:09:12,565 --> 01:09:14,565
You know, when I heard about
the reels being found,

116
01:09:14,692 --> 01:09:17,654
I was expecting
a lost silent masterpiece,

117
01:09:17,820 --> 01:09:20,698
and not a film which we have
in our collection

118
01:09:20,865 --> 01:09:22,468
on camera negative
on which has been shown

119
01:09:22,492 --> 01:09:23,660
on television month to month.

120
01:09:23,826 --> 01:09:25,703
(overlapping remarks)

121
01:09:54,565 --> 01:09:56,901
(whirring)

122
01:09:58,778 --> 01:10:01,447
I think that was
probably just on a ship,

123
01:10:01,614 --> 01:10:03,366
and probably a Russian ship.

124
01:10:03,533 --> 01:10:05,576
Almost every big ship
had some kind of a projector

125
01:10:05,743 --> 01:10:07,203
and a
little collection of films,

126
01:10:07,370 --> 01:10:10,415
which was, you know,
exchanged once in a while.

127
01:10:10,581 --> 01:10:13,418
So, I guess these several reels

128
01:10:13,584 --> 01:10:17,338
were from one of those ships,
which were, for example, torn,

129
01:10:17,505 --> 01:10:19,924
or for some reason
were not really watchable again,

130
01:10:20,091 --> 01:10:22,885
and they were just dumped
one way or another.

131
01:10:23,052 --> 01:10:24,804
I know it's a strange way
of disposing film,

132
01:10:24,971 --> 01:10:27,682
but who knows?

133
01:10:27,849 --> 01:10:29,767
And in the net,

134
01:10:29,934 --> 01:10:33,604
there were almost
four reels together

135
01:10:33,771 --> 01:10:35,606
in one haul.

136
01:10:35,773 --> 01:10:38,317
That's also a miracle.

137
01:10:38,484 --> 01:10:41,362
Maybe the reason might be
that the Russians,

138
01:10:41,529 --> 01:10:44,323
they kept their film reels

139
01:10:44,490 --> 01:10:46,576
in a certain can.

140
01:10:46,743 --> 01:10:48,536
It could have been
protected in this can

141
01:10:48,703 --> 01:10:50,413
for many years
on the bottom of the sea

142
01:10:50,580 --> 01:10:52,623
if it fell from a ship above.

143
01:10:52,790 --> 01:10:56,669
Then, this metal starts to rust.

144
01:10:56,836 --> 01:10:59,881
And the strange thing is
that the metal rusts,

145
01:11:00,047 --> 01:11:02,925
and then you have this celluloid

146
01:11:03,092 --> 01:11:06,429
in a certain condition
which you can handle.

147
01:11:21,027 --> 01:11:23,529
(solemn accordion music)

148
01:11:33,039 --> 01:11:35,541
(cheering)

149
01:11:47,720 --> 01:11:50,014
(whirring)

150
01:11:50,181 --> 01:11:52,642
(waves sloshing)

151
01:16:11,817 --> 01:16:14,153
(burbling)

152
01:16:40,012 --> 01:16:44,767
Across the field

153
01:16:44,934 --> 01:16:48,938
I hear.

154
01:16:49,105 --> 01:16:54,735
The bluebirds calling

155
01:16:54,902 --> 01:16:57,947
(melancholic music)

156
01:16:58,114 --> 01:17:02,785
Across the field

157
01:17:02,952 --> 01:17:06,122
I hear.

158
01:17:10,417 --> 01:17:14,046
Thunder.

159
01:17:16,173 --> 01:17:19,593
Across the field

160
01:17:19,760 --> 01:17:23,722
I hear

161
01:17:23,889 --> 01:17:31,021
I hear the wan cry.

162
01:17:34,191 --> 01:17:38,863
Across the field

163
01:17:39,029 --> 01:17:42,908
I hear.

164
01:17:43,075 --> 01:17:49,874
The bluebirds calling.

165
01:17:50,040 --> 01:17:54,670
Across the field

166
01:17:54,837 --> 01:17:59,091
I hear.

167
01:17:59,258 --> 01:18:04,722
The darkness.

168
01:18:07,975 --> 01:18:12,813
Across the field

169
01:18:12,980 --> 01:18:16,942
I hear.

170
01:18:17,109 --> 01:18:22,907
The crow call.

171
01:18:25,993 --> 01:18:30,664
Across the field

172
01:18:30,831 --> 01:18:35,085
I hear.

173
01:18:35,252 --> 01:18:41,342
The wind fly past me.

174
01:18:44,011 --> 01:18:48,682
Across the field

175
01:18:48,849 --> 01:18:53,145
I hear.

176
01:18:53,312 --> 01:18:57,316
The drums.

177
01:19:02,321 --> 01:19:05,741
Across the field

178
01:19:05,908 --> 01:19:08,953
I hear my friend

179
01:19:09,119 --> 01:19:15,751
I hear him calling.

180
01:19:15,918 --> 01:19:19,171
Across the field

181
01:19:19,338 --> 01:19:22,383
I hear his voice

182
01:19:22,549 --> 01:19:27,972
I hear him calling.

183
01:19:29,390 --> 01:19:32,810
Across the field

184
01:19:32,977 --> 01:19:36,313
I hear the drums.

185
01:19:39,066 --> 01:19:42,861
Calling.

186
01:19:43,028 --> 01:19:46,240
Across the field
