Soviet filmmaker Boris Barnet is considered one of the greatest Russian filmmakers and is highly regarded by the likes of Otar Loselliani and Jacques Rivette. Two of his finest works Outskirts and By the Bluest Of Seas are set for release on 12 November 2012 courtesy of Mr. Bongo Films.
Made in 1933, Outskirts is one of the most ambitious films from the early sound period, ahead of its time with its camera movements and its use of sound, it is regarded as one of the greatest films of Russian cinema.
By the Bluest Of Seas is one of the most lyrical and uplifting films of the Soviet era, eschewing propaganda in favour of a comedy about love and friendship.
