Ruslan and Ludmila (English subtitles). Part 1 of 2 (2/7). Ruslan and Ludmila (Russian: Руслан и Людмила) is a 1972 film directed by Aleksandr Ptushko. Based on the poem of the same name written by Alexander Pushkin in 1820. Ruslan and Ludmila is a magnificent fairy tale, a mythic epic with a nominal basis in historical events but featuring witches and wizards, giants and dwarves, heroes and villains. Part epic mythology, part tongue-in-cheek fantasia, the film delivers on all scores its a true crowd-pleaser in the best sense of the term. Director Aleksandr Ptushko, the master of Soviet fantasy, pulled out all the stops for this, the last film (in fact, a film in two parts that took four years to film) that he would make before dying in 1973. The story is (very) loosely based on a famous epic poem by Pushkin, most beloved of Russian writers, and the action is set sometime in the 9th or 10th century. Ruslan is a great knight - defender of the medieval Russian principality of Kiev. As a reward for his bravery in crushing the Pecheneg Tartars, Ruslan is given the hand of the Grand Princes daughter, Ludmila, in marriage (good thing too, as they love each other). However, she is mysteriously abducted on the night of their wedding and the Grand Prince, consumed with grief, declares that whomever is able to restore her to him may be her new husband. =================== Crew: Director: Aleksandr Ptushko Writers: Alexander Pushkin (poem) and Aleksandr Ptushko (writer) Cast: Valeri Kozinets as Ruslan Natalya Petrova as Ludmila Andrei Abrikosov as Vladimir Vladimir Fyodorov as Chernomor the Wizard Mariya Kapnist as Naina the Witch Natalya Khrennikova as Young Naina Igor Yasulovich as The Finnish Hermut Viktor Shulgin as The Giant Head Oleg Mokshantsev as Rogdai Ruslan Akhmetov as Ratmir Vyacheslav Nevinnyy as Farlaf Sergei Martinson as Ambassador Nikolai Kutuzov as Ambassador Eve Kivi as Fisherwoman Valeri Nosik as Courier Awards * Special Jury Prize at the Salerno IFF for Children and Youth, 1976 © MOSFILM, 1972. ================== Copyright Disclaimer Under Section 107 of the Copyright Act 1976, allowance is made for "fair use" for purposes such as criticism, comment, news reporting, teaching, scholarship, and research.
