About The Gentlefolks of Skotinin
A comedy starring Nina Shaternikova, The Skotinins is loosely based on the 18th century play The Minor by Denis Fonvizin. In it, the upper class is shown as both depraved and stupid, engaging a variety of absurd, over-the-top follies.
Directed by Grigoriy Roshal, The Gentlefolks of Skotinin leans on a strong ensemble — Varvara Massalitinova, Pavel Tamm, Sofya Yakovleva — 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 screen titles of 1927.
