  • "During the 1920s, Soviet documentary and fiction films were financed by the State, and their fledgling directors, some barely out of their teens, converted their lives from theater, engineering, painting and journalism to the practice and theory of a revolutionary cinema devoted to showing the achievements and aspirations of the new Socialist society. Their problem was to captivate an enormous, culturally diverse, multi-lingual, semi-literate population in ways that would be emotionally compelling, yet ideologically clear. The proven ability of movies to achieve this difficult goal inspired Lenin's famous dictum, 'For us, cinema is the most important art,' and their stunning innovations recharged world cinema. Editing, or montage, is the common organizational basis of these films and each of the filmmakers believed the arrangement of shots to be the foundation of film art. Lev Kuleshov's By the Law (1926) is a tense murder drama set in Alaska and based upon a short story by Jack London."
  • "Drame psychologique réalisé comme une expérience faite sur un budget limité. Adaptation du récit "the Unexpected" de Jack London. Un groupe de cinq chercheurs d'or prospecte en Alaska. L'un d'eux assassine deux des hommes et s'apprête à tuer les deux autres pour voler leur or. Ces deux derniers s'emparent de lui, le jugent et l'exécutent."
  • "Three people undergo inner turmoil as a result of their complicity in a murder. The setting is Alaska, where they have been cut off from civilization by winter storms and spring floods. The film, considered by many to be Kuleshov's best film, makes effective use of the "Kuleshov effect," in which "the mathematical precision of every gesture and movement contributes to the total effect of each character and episode." (Does not circulate)."
