It is impressive to see this Russian artist, inexperienced in cin- ema technique, create a sincere illu- sion through her effortless art. When Malinoyskaya wishes to present an atmosphere of genuine youth, she does not, like our own Lillian Gish, depend upon American sentimental- ism which usually becomes over-em- phatic and thereby destroys the ele- ment of truth. Malinoyskaya, directed by Ivan Moskvin, whose art has brought to the screen all the finest achievement of artistic naturalism, reached to his supervision with all the beauty of sincere feeling and honest emotion. Similarly to Moskvin, she illuminates her role in Pushkin’s famous story “The Station Master” with the care- ful attention to detail and we feel at all times that her approach to her playing is subjective.
