About The Portrait
A man is increasingly unnerved by a mysterious portrait. Based on a story by Nikolai Gogol, the film is thought to have run about 45 minutes long, but only an 8 minute fragment is known to have survived.
Directed by Władysław Starewicz, The Portrait leans on a strong ensemble — Andrey Gromov, Ivan Lazarev, R. Krechetov — 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 horror titles of 1915.
