This is such a grand expose' of rare cinema history. There is a poetic documentary that was made by Paradjanov called "Ukrainian Rhapsody" that was made in the original Ukrainian language/dialect that was used by the separatists that so offended Stalin that its production is believed to be the real reason that Stalin had Paradjanov jailed (not to mention the fact that Armenians were an "irritation" to Stalin. Thanks for the link.

[@PlanSéquenceFilmArt]

Hey, thanks for the suggestion. I thought "Ukrainian Rhapsody" was a fiction film from Parajanov, I'll have a look at it in the near future, looks quite intriguing.

[@skydavidhealth]

@@PlanSéquenceFilmArt It is so poetic and lyrical that it does not fall into conventional documentary. It was empowering to the Ukrainian separatists and thus suppressed and Paradjanov jailed on made up charges. Stalin was at war with culture, many examples like the execution of the great poet Nikolai Gumilev (trumped up charges).

in the film Ukrainian Rhapsody by Parajanov, they speak pure Russian language

[@yaramelnychenko4633]

@@skydavidhealth sorry, but you kind of got it wrong. First of all, Ukrainian language is not a dialect. Second of all, the people you called separatists were dissidents, which is a completely different thing. Ukrainians were fighting for their independence since, at first, the Russian Empire colonized a part of Ukraine, and then the bolsheviks occupied Ukraine. For centuries Russians have been trying to destroy Ukrainian culture with its constant repressions against everything Ukrainian (language, literature, education, etc.) and physical demolition (Holodomor, Executed Renaissance, etc.). I will leave some links concerning the things I've said. Please, educate yourself before misinforming somebody.

That shot of windswept farmland (grassland?) reminds me of a beautiful shot from Tarkovsky's Mirror. There were repeated waves created on the long grass, and it is said that Tarkovsky used a helicopter to achieve that effect. So glad I found your channel!

[@PlanSéquenceFilmArt]

Hey RB! As mentioned on the essay, this film left a deep impression in the young Andrei tarkovsky. I wouldn't be surprised if that magical image in Mirror was in one way or another inspired by Dovzhenko's Earth. Glad you've enjoyed the content on the channel.

[@user-gg6sh7wr6d]

also the dreamy shot of the apples at the end of Earth, reminds me of the dream sequence in Ivan's Childhood. Tarkovsky was definitely inspired. Both are masters.

[@user-gg6sh7wr6d]

Oops, I just noticed you mention the apples already near the end of the video, my mistake.

[@PlanSéquenceFilmArt]

Dovgenko - Ukrainian poetic cinema

[@PlanSéquenceFilmArt]

Indeed, Dovzhenko may be aptly described as the father of Ukrainian Poetic Cinema, with an influence that extended over the entire world.

Yes, my friend, it has been acknowledged for future reference. My next video is also about another Ukrainian masterpiece and I reference Oleksandr Dovzhenko again, stay tuned for next Friday! з найкращими побажаннями!

Non sovietico. Ma cittadino ucraino Dovzenko

[@PlanSéquenceFilmArt]

Il film è stato prodotto in quella che allora era l'Unione Sovietica, da un uomo ucraino. Da qui la classificazione del film sovietico.

[@cinemagraphymahivara2000]

You could just translated russian or ukrainian review of him. Olexander is not of one who cancelled among directors, it's just practice, and not cause of ukraine

[@PlanSéquenceFilmArt]

I'm sorry, but I don't know what you mean by that.

Ukrainian masterpieces*

[@PlanSéquenceFilmArt]

It's surely a masterpiece of Ukrainian spirit produced under the Soviet regime, so it definitely stands as one of the finest representative works of Ukrainian art.
