About Salamander
The film is based on real events and reveals the tragic episodes from the life of the Austrian biologist scientist-materialist Paul Kammerer (1880-1926), hunted by regressive scientists and Catholic reactionaries who committed suicide.
Directed by Grigoriy Roshal, Mikhail Doller, Salamander leans on a strong ensemble — Bernhard Goetzke, Natalya Rozenel, Elza Temary — 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 1928.
