“This is why we have retro houses--to unleash the secret cinemas of the global past. Few high-powered legacies are as alien to us as the rarely screened fantasy cinema of the Soviet kingdom.” – Michael Atkinson, Village Voice

"The celebrated fantasist Aleksandr Ptushko, often compared to Harryhausen and Tolkien, was given a Film Center retrospective in 2002, but we were not able then to include RUSLAN AND LUDMILA, Ptushko’s last and most ambitious film. Based on a Pushkin poem with dialogue in verse form, this fairy-tale epic begins in medieval Kiev. The brave knight Ruslan marries the spirited princess Ludmila, but, before they can reach the nuptial bed, the bride is kidnapped. Ludmila’s distraught father offers her hand to whomever rescues her, and Ruslan races three rivals across a spectacular fantasyscape containing enchanted forests, wild tigers, crystal palaces, a cave full of chained titans, a villainous dwarf with a 50-foot beard, and much more." – Martin Rubin
