You are warmly invited to a special screening of the Soviet silent-era
classic Bed and Sofa (Третья Мещанская) (1927) @ St Philip's Church,
Wednesday, 18 February, 7pm.
Astonishingly daring for its time, Abram Room's genuinely funny drama of a
ménage à trois in a cramped Moscow basement not only unflinchingly portrays
the trials and tribulations of the new Soviet woman, but does so with
stunning camera angles and montages.
Introduced and with discussion led by Anna Toropova (Slavonic Studies,
Cambridge) Free admission. All welcome.
Bed and Sofa (1927) is the third of six events the series 'Reproduction on
Film: Outlaws', put on by the Generation to Reproduction programme with
funding from the Wellcome Trust.
