Mikhail Kalatozov makes some beautiful films, particularly in his work with Sergey Urusevsky, who may just be our favorite cinematographer. Many, many years ago (Spine 146!) we watched their film The Cranes are Flying (1957), and images from that film still grace my dreams. Many, many years from now (Spine 1214!) we will watch I am Cuba (1964), their final collaboration, and we can't wait. But thankfully between these two masterpieces we get Letter Never Sent (1960), a tale of Soviet vs Nature, a story of love, lust, science, sacrifice, and lots of fire. Raising not only the normal "how did they shoot this?!" questions associated with Urusevsky's work, but new and adjacent "how did they shoot this?!" questions about the special effects.

On the fifty-fifth episode of the Cinematic Odyssey, Tristen and Max return from hiatus to their shortest episode ever! In it, both discuss thoughts and opinions on Soviet director Mikhail Kalatozov's 1960 adventure film Letter Never Sent, the same director that directed Tristen's top overall film of 2023. Tristen gushes on visual effects and technical capabilities, Max slams a man named Konstantin, and there are plenty of puns to go around.

Continuing the trend of getting off-track, Jason presents this week's episode with a very catchy gameshow title: Is This a War Movie or is This War Movie Not a War Movie? to discuss the films intentionally left off the PASTE Magazine list for not being about WAR enough! This week's film is the Soviet post-Stalin production The Cranes Are Flying - will it be a war movie? Or will this movie not be a war movie? You will find out! Also - gorgeous, groundbreaking cinematography, flawless film restoration, Veronika being a huge influence on other female protagonists, the stark set design and much, much more!   Next week: Back to the list and back to the American Civil War!

105 - Letter Never Sent (1960) / Quest for Fire (1981) This week we're searching for the eternal flame with Jean-Jacques Annand's questing cavemen while Mikhail Kalatozov's dizzying forest fire has us running for our lives

On the twenty-ninth episode of the Cinematic Odyssey, Tristen and Max dive into Mikhail Kalatozov's nearly lost work Soy Cuba-- or I Am Cuba. Tristen and Max discuss the historical timeline in Cuba and why the film was made under the Castro regime, how the camera acts just as important as any of the others that we see on screen, and the delicate balance between national pride and nationalism. The beautiful poetry that ties each vignette of the film together lets both Tristen and Max reset and identify the feelings of another nation, one so close, and yet, so strange to our lives. 

One of the Soviet Union's most well known directors Mikhail Kalatozov was born as Mikhail Kalatoziashvili in Tiflis in 1903. Before releasing his more famous works such as Soy Cuba (1964) and The Cranes Are Flying (1957), or winning an award at the 1958 Cannes Film Festival, he along with Nutsa Gogoberidze (Soviet Georgia's first female director) co-directed their first film together - a documentary called Their Kingdom (1928). For decades Their Kingdom was lost in Moscow archives and was only recently rediscovered. The film is an early Soviet critique of the Menshevik controlled Democratic Republic of Georgia (1918-21) (also known as the First Republic). The portion of the film that was recently restored was recently shown at a film festival in Tbilisi showcasing early Soviet Georgian films and we were lucky enough to watch it. This episode begins with Sopo Japaridze reflecting on the film Their Kingdom and is followed by an interview with scholar Salome Tsopurashvili. Salome is currently a professor at Ilia State University in Tbilisi, and author of an upcoming book that explores women and film in 1920s Soviet Georgia.

After Stalin's death in 1953, the thawing of totalitarian policies allowed Soviet filmmakers like Mikhail Kalatozov to break new ground and explore the war, society, and gender in films like The Cranes Are Flying. In addition to the societal context that makes this film feel so incredible coming from the USSR, we dive into the gorgeous cinematography that makes The Cranes Are Flying feel so fresh for 1957.Where to watch The Cranes Are FlyingNYT Bosley Crowther Review of The Cranes Are FlyingWhere to watch Invention for Destruction (1958)

Wayne and Shane discuss the movies in which a search is underway to find someone who is lost to either war or murder. The questions regarding their disappearance are forever left for those who are searching. "Once Upon A Time In Anatolia" (2011), directed by Nuri Bilge Ceylan, and "The Cranes Are Flying" (1957), directed by Mikhail Kalatozov, are highlighted. "We forgot to bring the body bag".

This week we're back to discuss one of the most vital and hotly-anticipated films being displayed in UK cinemas this month: Sergei Eistenstein's legendary BATTLESHIP POTEMKIN. We also cast our eye over two curios of Soviet film, Eisenstein's uncompleted QUE VIVA MEXICO! and Mikhail Kalatozov's revolutionary I AM CUBA, before grazing on Christopher Nolan's poorly-rolled joint, TENET. Including covers of L'Internationale and the Stooges' 'No Fun'.

Cannes 2020: Den alternative Cannes-festivalen er over midtveis, og i denne sjette podkastepisoden diskuterer panelet en ny samling filmer, som inkluderer Mikhail Kalatozovs Gullpalme-vinner Og tranene flyr (1957), Henri-George Clouzots Grand Prix-vinner Mysteriet Picasso (1956) og Jean-Luc Godards didaktiske Le vent d’est (1970).Og tranene flyr er av mange ansett som selve hovedverket til den georgisk-sovjetiske regissøren Mikhail Kalatozov, og filmen har gjort dypt inntrykk på vårt panel. Det har også Clouzots eksperimentelle Picasso-dokumentar gjort, men på en helt annen måte, naturligvis.Videre diskuterer vi i hvilken grad Godards arbeider med Dziga Vertov-gruppen har tålt tidens tann, og om Richard Kellys Southland Tales (2006) fremstår som profetisk, fjorten år etter skandalepremieren i Cannes?Rundt det virtuelle rundebord sitter Karsten Meinich, Lars Ole Kristiansen og Erik Vågnes.God lytting!

Join Jeff and Dave as they review the 1957 Soviet classic The Cranes are Flying by Mikhail Kalatozov.

Episode 1 - Letter Never Sent In this episode, Robert and Christophe discuss Mikhail Kalatozov's radical 1960 survival drama, Letter Never Sent. They also share some thoughts on the new Adam McKay film and other entertainment news.

Matt walks through films by director Mikhail Kalatozov and cinematographer Sergey Urusevskiy. While waxing philosophical about Westerns and the inner landscapes of emotion, Sam treats listeners to a Werner Herzog impression. Matt has a love for landscape films in general but he may have discovered a new favorite. Letter Never Sent (1959) is a recent discovery […]

La única película soviética que ganó el Festival de Cannes es un drama bélico, intenso y conciso, que recorre los lugares emocionales de Lo que el viento se llevó, pero con mucha más determinación y economía. Apoyada por igual en la magnética presencia de su protagonista, y en el asertivo uso de los cortes y de largos y elocuentes travellings, esta cinta surgida con la explosión de creatividad contenida tras la muerte de Stalin, se sigue viendo moderna y pertinente; sigue siendo un modelo del cual aprender.

Dave Eves joins Martin Kessler for a wildfire fast conversation about filmmaker Mikhail Kalatozov. They brave the elements to marvel at I Am Cuba’s famous long takes, consider the logistics of Letter Never Sent’s forest fire, and look at how The Cranes Are Flying set the bar for self-serious Russian directors. If you survive to the end you’ll hear some strong opinions on arthouse theatre audiences, Hard to Be a God, Blumhouse horror movies, the accents of token straw-man Americans, and of course why “cinema is a lie”.  If you have any letters to send, you can reach Dave Eves on Twitter at @CinemaVsDave

Set in Spain in the late 70s, Gabrielle's debut novel, THE SLEEPING WORLD, represents something deeply personal to her.

Este é o episódio #22, onde Alexandre, Sergio e Fred deixam um pouco de lado o cinema clássico hollywoodiano para se aventurarem em três grande produções do cinema soviético das décadas de 50 e 60: “Quando voam as cegonhas”, “A carta que não se enviou” e “Eu sou Cuba”, três filmes dirigidos por Mikhail Kalatozov e fotografados por Serguei Urusevski. “Cegonhas”, “Carta” e “Cuba” – que batizamos de os três C’s de Kalatozov – são exemplos de grandes filmes produzidos pelo cinema russo que não pertencem ao período da famosa escola de montagem russa, mas que ainda assim possuem incontestáveis qualidades no plano técnico e se apresentam como três ótimos filmes que todos os cinéfilos deveriam conhecer.
