About The Great Consoler
The Great Consoler is Lev Kuleshov’s most personal film reflecting both the facts of his life and his thoughts about the place of the artist in contemporary reality. It was the only film in the Soviet cinema of those years that raised the question of what role a creative person played in society.
Directed by Lev Kuleshov, The Great Consoler leans on a strong ensemble — Alexandra Khokhlova, Konstantin Khokhlov, Ivan Novoseltsev — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about drama titles of 1933.
