Soviet Fantasy Adventure ILYA MUROMETS (1956, a.k.a. The Sword and the Dragon)
November 29 : 3:00 pm – 4:45 pm
“Packing an astonishing amount into ninety minutes, Ilya Muromets is much more than its fantasy label indicates. You get a huge-scale period war film, a love story, a musical and a creature feature with that three-headed dragon rearing up in the big climax.” – Nathaniel Thompson, Mondo Digital
Aleksandr Ptushko, esteemed master of the Soviet cinematic spectacle, crafted his crown jewel with the awe-inspiring ILYA MUROMETS, which must be seen to be believed. An epic tale of a Russian knight’s campaign against the dastardly Tugars, who destroyed his village, ILYA MUROMETS features swordplay, wild special effects, gargantuan battle sequences featuring hundreds of extras, and a massive, three-headed flying dragon. Released in a mangled edit by producer Roger Corman and re-titled The Sword and the Dragon, the true glory of ILYA MUROMETS had long been unknown in the U.S. But with Deaf Crocodile’s sparkling restoration, the whole world can appreciate this unparalleled journey into Soviet fantasy filmmaking’s wild wonders.
