"Hailed by the New York Times as "An unexpected masterpiece," A slave of love is a witty and haunting film about moviemaking from the acclaimed Russian director Nikita Mikhalkov (Burnt by the sun). Within the sun-drenched beauty of the Crimean summer, a Russian movie crew grapples with film shortages, Tsarist secret police scrutiny, and their own dysfunctional dynamic to churn out one more silent melodrama before the revolution in Moscow consumes the nation. While awaiting the arrival of her missing co-star husband, silent film diva Olga (a character inspired by tragic real-life screen siren Vera Kholodnaya), a star so luminous that dissidents risk arrest to see her latest film "Slave of love," becomes enmeshed in a romance with handsome young cameraman Pototsky. But what begins as a casual dalliance becomes an awakening as Olga's lover reveals his true allegiance. Ultimately, their romance leads Olga to an unforgettable high-speed date with destiny that unites movie heroism with historic martyrdom."
"Set in 1917 Russia, a silent film movie star falls in love with the cameraman of her latest movie as he illegally films resistance activities."
"During the Russian civil war, a Moscow film crew has gathered in the Crimea. The leading actress, Olga, contemplates the revolutionary situation, and after viewing a newsreel of White Army atrocities chooses to return to Bolshevik-controlled Moscow."
"In Odessa, 1918, an impoverished film crew is attempting to complete a dreadful melodrama, only dimly aware that the government has fallen to the Bolshevik revolutionaries. Their film supply runs out and troops invade their set drawing the cast and crew closer to the turmoil which will soon overtake the country. Only the beautiful leading lady is able to recognize the political realities having fallen in love with the camerman who has secretly filmed White Guard atrocities. (Does not circulate)."
"The year is 1917 and the Bolsheviks have taken control of northern Russia. But in southern Crimea, where the White Army is still in control, a small film crew is hurrying to finish a frivolously melodramatic silent picture. The beautiful star, Olga, falls in love with the cameraman, a revolutionary, and through him Olga is drawn into the Bolshevik underground and becomes passionate about her political involvement."
