1925 · Film · ★ 6
Released in 1925, The Bear's Wedding is a drama and horror film directed by Konstantin Eggert, running about 68 minutes.
What it’s about. Konstantin Eggert both directed and starred as Count Shemet, cursed by his insane mother’s traumatic experience with a bear to have seizures during which he himself becomes a “bear” on the kill. Eggert’s direction of the movie is as odd as the plot. The whole film is unsettling. The titles are too long; there are interminable shots of irrelevant action; the cutting is uneven. The heroine is unsuitably comic, spasmodically jumping around, smearing ink on her face, knocking things over. For some reason the somber, doomed count falls in love with this girl and decides to marry her.
Who’s in it. The Bear's Wedding stars B. Afonin, Vera Alyokhina, Konstantin Eggert and Vera Malinovskaya as Yulka.
