"Father Sergius"
1917
Directed by Yakov Protazanov

One of the few surviving films from before the October Revolution, Father Sergius introduced an anti-religious element into Russian cinema in its realization of Tolstoy's story about an officer who became a monk on the eve of his wedding and suffered tortures of the flesh thereafter. Silent with English subtitles.  81 minutes.
