This film was shown with Russian intertitles and I was unable to follow it. Moreover, it was re-photographed to accomodate a soundtrack and looked strange. I found the added musical score distracting.
When the film started there were images of men on horses. They appeared to be in slow motion, but it may have been the rephotography necessary for the soundtrack. It is a pity that I was unable to follow this film because it looked quite interesting.
Men open a trap door in the ground and an elderly man emerges. He later disappears into thin air. There is a scene with what look like ghosts of warriors. At the end an old man seems to be trying to blow up a train which seems to collide with him. He shakes hands with some of the men on the train, suggesting to me that he has decided to join their cause.
Sitting through this film without English intertitles was an acutely frustrating experience.
