IL CINEMA RITROVATO
DVD AWARDS 2010 VII edition
BEST SPECIAL FEATURES (BONUS)
Our BEST SPECIAL FEATURES (BONUS) award goes jointly to:
(a) three recent Ruscico releases of classic Russian films (two previously unavailable films by Lev
Kuleshov, ENGINEER PRITE’S PROJECT and THE GREAT CONSOLER, and Sergey
Eisenstein and Grigori Aleksandrov’s OCTOBER)—both for their innovative handling of printed
and illustrated commentaries by scholars and for their subtitles in many languages, despite the
unfortunate fact that all three releases are identified on their covers only by their Russian titles and
(b) the Filmmuseum with Filmmuseum München and Goethe Institut Deutschland release of G.W.
Pabst’s DIE FREUDLOSE GASSE (THE JOYLESS STREET), for the three documentaries
about Pabst that are included.

THE GREAT CONSOLER (Russia/1933) di Lev Kuleshov – Ruscico (Russia)
