THE GENTLEFOLKS OF SKOTININ

Directed by Grigoriy Roshal

1927 / 61min

A comedy starring Nina Shaternikova, The Skotinins is loosely based on the 18th century play The Minor by Denis Fonvizin. In it, the upper class is shown as both depraved and stupid, engaging a variety of absurd, over-the-top follies.
