The House on Trubnaya Street 18
When we think of early Soviet film it’s the political epics like Battleship Potemkin that come to mind first - but there’s a lighter, comedic side too. The House on Trubnaya has gorgeous camerawork and a marvellous central performance by Vera Maretskaya. The story is recognisably Soviet; the tale of a petit bourgeois hairdresser who tries to hire a non-union housemaid.
