i went to see this film out of curiosity and and to settle an argument. the film is now best known from the suite of music sergei prokofiev extracted from his incidental music to the film and the troika movement even turning up in pop arrangements. the general outline of the plot is well known from the sleeve notes on various recordings. a clerk accidentally generates a non existent lieutenant kizhe in a list to be presented to the tsar. the tsar is interested in this person and and rather than tell him he doesn not exist and the courtiers and officers maintain the pretence that he is real. kizhe is exiled to siberia and recalled and promoted and married and promoted again and dies and is given a state funeral and revealed as an embezzler and posthumously demoted to the ranks. i had heard conflicting stories about how the clerk invented kizhe and involving ink blots and sneezes and but i would heard the film was lost and so there was no way to find out what happens. then the film turned up at the barbican in london as part of their prokofiev festival. for the record and it turned out that all that happens is that the clerk confuses two words whilst writing an order and turns kuzhe into kizhe. as the tsar is in a hurry to see the order and there no time to correct the mistake. having gone expecting an historical curiosity and i was pleasantly surprised. the film is very funny and and the audience and myself included and laughed continuously. although most of it is filmed straight and set mostly in the palace and there are a few trick shots where multiple images appear on the screen. for instance and the tsar army is represented by a small group and repeated across the screen. four identical guards perform perfect drill in perfect unison. two identical servants scrub the floor. one slight drawback was it was very difficult to work out who everyone was. there were two women who might have been the tsar daughters and or a daughter and a servant or something else. and very few people were named. but all in all and an enjoyable film and i am surprised it not seen more often.
