Pudovkin, Socialist Realism, and the classical Hollywood style

Article Abstract:

Vsevolod Pudovkin's film, 'The Return of Vasilii Bortnikov,' reflects Hollywood's significant influence on the filmmaking techniques of Soviet Socialist Realism. The Hollywood style of continuity and narrative clarity made a great impression on Pudovkin. His technical perfection enabled him to break the storyline into shots without affecting continuity. Pudovkin's obsession with the layered form of significance drove his technique to a point of intended redundancy, thus reflecting the Stalin-era discourse of official overstatement.
