Bed and Sofa
May 24 at 4:30
East Building Concourse, Large Auditorium
A cool comedy of manners, Bed and Sofa satirizes everything from Moscow’s 1920s housing shortage to social problems between the sexes. “The director’s triumph was to balance precisely the tensions and tone of the situation—two men and one woman sharing a tiny flat. He was aided greatly by the delicacy of the playing and a wonderfully cluttered, lived-in set.” — British Film Institute (Abram Room, 1927, silent with intertitles, 35mm, 80 minutes)
Introduction by Peter Rollberg, Chair, Department of Romance, German, and Slavic Languages and Literatures, George Washington University
