""Traktoristy" (Tractor-drivers) is a strange movie from classic
Soviet director Ivan Pyriev. On one hand, it is a pure stalinist
propaganda of the workers class, and like hundreds of other period
movie of that time (the movie was set in 1939), and it sure did mean
to prepare people for the upcoming war and raise the fighting spirit
of the nation. On the other hand, if one can abstract from the
propagandistic nature of the film, it is possible to see the
powerful cinematographic side of it.
Over-the-edge performances, fast soc-realistic camera work, sincere
pathos of the heroes - it has everything for which Eisenstein's
films are famous. And it isn't a coincidence, as Pyriev started his
career under the wing of the maître. Interestingly, the movie was
re-edited during the Khruschev's dethronement of Stalin's cult as it
appeared to be too pro-stalinist (which is absolute truth). Only
recently there has been re-edition of the original in Russia. Seeing
the film, we see the expression of Soviet mythology. In this sense
it is a really scary film, because nothing is real. It can be
somehow compared to the images of war heroes and usual people
painted on ancient vases - it's an idealized image of life. This
movie's antonym in cinema history is Waida's "Man of marble", which
helps to understand the rise and fall of communist mythology in
retrospective. Probably having more interest for cinematography
students than for average viewers, Ivan Pyriev's "Traktoristy" still
remains forgotten classic of soc-realism".
