About Virgin Soil Upturned
The movie is based on the the same name novel of the Nobel Prize In Literature Winner Mikhail Sholokhov. The action is taken place in 20-30-s years of the XX century in the Russian countryside going through an uneasy process of collectivization.
Directed by Aleksandr Ivanov, Virgin Soil Upturned leans on a strong ensemble — Yevgeny Matveyev, Lyudmila Khityaeva, Andrei Abrikosov — 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 1959.
