The Comintern Brahmin: The Untold Story of MN Roy / Brahmane Du Komintern (2006) [DOC, ENG SUB]

реж. Vladimir Leon Music: Shostakovich, Beethoven Synopsis: From Mexico to Russia, from Germany to India, director Vladimir Léon seeks out a revolutionary adventurer from Bengal – MN Roy. Founder of a Communist Party in Zapata’s Mexico, leader of the Communist International (Comintern) in Soviet Russia alongside Lenin, an anti-Stalin and anti-Nazi militant in pre-war Germany, a politician and thinker in India… However, official history of these countries has prefered to erase his mark. Through direct and indirect accounts, Vladimir Léon patiently reconstructs the chaotic existence of a free spirit. This film which is an enquiry as much as a meditation on the obscure course of History is a modern epic which sheds light on current affairs in the different countries. Biography: Vladimir Léon, born in 1969, studies Film History and Æsthetic at the Sorbonne University in Paris. In 1998, Loin du front (Far from the Front), a three-part feature film codirected with Harold Manning is released.
