The Portrait
Портрет
1915 · 45 min · RU
Directed by Ladislas Starevich
A painter buys a portrait whose eyes will not stay still and comes to owe it something. Eight minutes survive of the forty-five Starewicz made from Gogol in 1915, live action, no puppets, and the eyes in the fragment are enough to show he could film the uncanny without them.
