Pyotr Glebov plays a fierce Cossack warrior from a small, insulated Russian community, who tries to cut off all ties with his tyrannical father. He fights valiantly in World War I, then returns to his wife, whom his father had forced him to marry. The young man rebels against this arranged union by carrying on with the bride of a fellow Cossack. And Quiet Flows the Don represents only the first part of Sholokhov's epic novel. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi ·       Rating: NR ·       Genre: Art House & International, Classics, Drama, Romance ·       Directed By: Sergei Gerasimov ·       On Disc/Streaming: Mar 6, 2007 ·       Runtime: 330 minutes WATCH IT NOW Watch now for $0.00   CAST Daniil Ilchenko  as Pantelei Melekhox   A.

Opens at Plaza Film Merely Skims Surface of Classic By A.H. WEILER Published: May 25, 1960 HAVING set themselves a monumental task, the Russian film-makers who produced "And Quiet Flows the Don" from Mikhail Sholokhov's classic and immense novel of Cossack life directly before and after the advent of communism, can be accorded only an A for effort on the evidence put on view yesterday at the Plaza Theatre. For the drama, which is the latest consignment in the United States-Soviet Union Cultural Exchange Program, is merely a fragmentary slice of the pastoral and bloody, romantic and sedentary lives and loves of the villagers of Tatarskaya on the Don that is, for the most part, portrayed in obvious, flamboyant style. Although it was photographed in pleasingly vivid hues by Vladimir Rapoport, it only occasionally manages to be truly colorful and striking. Perhaps Sergei Gerasimov, one of the Soviet Union's leading movie men, who adapted and directed "Don" in 1957, was overwhelmed by the wealth of material at his disposal. Out of the saga's first two novels, "And Quiet Flows the Don" and "The Don Flows Home to the Sea," each of which was well over 700 pages (and a third book), which have been compared to the works of Tolstoy and other literary titans, Mr. Gerasimov fashioned no fewer than three features, the first of which is the import now being shown. The richness of his source is only fleetingly captured here. Despite the adequate English subtitles, which toward the film's climax passingly indicate special political pleading, "Don" is basically episodic fare, highlighted here and there by moments of real drama and ending with seemingly unfinished business that may confuse viewers unaware that Sections Two and Three of this gigantic movie triptych are still to come. As has been noted, Mr. Gerasimov is concerned not with the many characters that populate Sholokhov's books but simply the leading players. In an essentially austere yarn, he illustrates the story of the young, fiery and abundantly red-blooded Grigory, who has romantic designs on Aksinya, the wife of another Cossack; his pre-arranged, loveless marriage; his adulterous relationship with Aksinya; a short glimpse of Cossack lancers clashing with the enemy in World War I; our star-crossed hero's discovery that his beloved has succumbed to the blandishments of the heir to the estate where he works, and his ultimate return to his wife. Mr. Gerasimov has captured the pastoral mood and scenes of the flat Don countryside and the quaintness of its village in his opening sequences, and some excitement when our rebellious Grigory defies his father and the stern social code of these country folk. One, however, is not particularly aware that these are a freedom-loving, rough-hewn people almost always connected with the military and used for generations as cavalry in the forefront of fighting. This is only briefly and casually shown. The director has elicited animated, if not especially trenchant, performances from his principals. As Grigory, Pyotr Glebov is a handsome, stalwart young bucko whose flashing eyes and flaring nostrils need no subtitles. His transparent emotions are paralleled by Ellina Bystritskaya as Aksinya, a dark-haired buxom type who, on occasion, does manage to make her feelings clear without arm waving and declamation. Danilo Ilchenko does well as Grigory's father, a proud, elderly Cossack shamed by his son's willful indiscretions. Zinaida Kirienko is sweet and retiring, as Grigory's ill-used wife who attempts suicide, and Alexander Blagovestov, as the cuckolded husband, and Igor Dmitriev, as Aksinya's landed, foppish seducer, add adequate supporting stints. From literary and musical points of view (the book also was the basis of the Russian opera, "The Quiet Don"), "And Quiet Flows the Don" is a towering work. This movie edition is a well-made, but uninspired, kaleidoscopic affair that merely skims the surface of the vast impressive original.

William Shatunovsky Film / And Quiet Flows the Don Film   Create New  And Quiet Flows the Don is a film from the Soviet Union, directed by Sergei Gerasimov. 330 minutes long, presented in four parts, it was originally released as three separate films in October 1957 and April 1958. The film tells the story of World War I, Red October, and the Russian Civil War, as seen from the perspective of Don Cossacks. The protagonist is Grigori "Grishka" Melekov, a Cossack cavalryman with the tsarist army, who lives in the village of Tatarsk on the Don River. Grigori has taken a fancy to Aksiniya, a local village woman, which is unfortunate since she is married to Stepan, another cavalryman. Meanwhile, Grishka's parents are trying to set him up with Natalya, who is both very pretty and fortunately unmarried. This is all a backdrop to portray the violent upheavals in Russia and Ukraine from 1914 to 1922, as the area was wracked by war, revolution, and more war. And Quiet Flows The Don is based on the similarly epic novel series by Mikhail Shokolov. Tropes: Absence Makes the Heart Go Yonder: Aksiniya doesn't deal well with being left alone. When Stepan goes off on maneuvers, she cheats on him with Grishka. Eventually they run away together. Later, when she is working at General Listnitsky's estate as a servant and Grishka is off on maneuvers, she cheats on him with General Listnitsky's son Yevgeny. "She fawns on everyone who's kind to her." Arranged Marriage: Grishka and Natalya are matched up by their parents. Grishka's father is super-pissed to hear that Grishka is still following Aksiniya around after he's married. Blood from the Mouth: Aksiniya, right after she's shot in the back by a Bolshevik sentry as she and Grishka try to flee. Died in Your Arms Tonight: Aksiniya dies in Grishka's arms when she's shot as they're trying to escape. Driven to Suicide: Darya, widowed after her husband Pyotr was killed in the civil war, drowns herself in the Don. Empathic Environment: A thunderstorm develops as Natalya rages about Grishka's infidelity and prays to God to strike him dead. Epic Movie: Yes, that's right, five-and-a-half hours long. Shot in color, with the proverbial "cast of thousands" reenacting battle scenes from the First World War and the Russian Civil War. And Quiet Flows the Don has been called the Russian Gone with the Wind. Faux Fluency: Grishka has a conversation with a "Mr. Campbell", who is apparently a British liason with the Don Cossack Whites. Mr. Campbell predicts that the Bolsheviks will win. Mr. Campbell also speaks English with a thick Russian accent. Heel–Face Revolving Door: Grishka starts off as a tsarist cavalryman, supports the Bolshevik revolution and "Soviet power", then later fights against the Bolsheviks on behalf of the Don Cossack independence faction. Later he fights with the Bolsheviks again, but flees when he finds out he'll face a revolutionary tribunal anyway for his past fighting with the Whites. Impairment Shot: A drunk Grishka sees double at a party. Killed Mid-Sentence: Kalmykov the anti-Bolshevik officer is in the middle of daring Bunchuk to shoot him, when Bunchuk shoots him. Mortal Wound Reveal: Anya is shot in the chest at the battle of Glubokaya, but keeps it secret until right before she bleeds to death. The Mutiny: A Bolshevik Cossack regiment rebels in Part III, shooting the officer and going over to the Whites. Reality Has No Subtitles: The German being spoken by enemy soldiers does not have any subtitles in Russian, or in English on the DVD. A Storm Is Coming: "Dark clouds will turn to rain after a thunderstorm", referring to the unrest that is about to explode into Red October. A Taste of the Lash: Stepan busts out a whip and whips Aksiniya after finding out she cheated on him. Later, Grishka does this to both Aksiniya and Yevgeny. Victoria's Secret Compartment: Where Darya puts the 500 rubles she gets as compensation for Pyotr's death. We ARE Struggling Together: Dissension in the ranks of the Cossacks, almost all of whom revolt against the Tsar, but later split between the Bolshevik faction and the faction that wants independence for Don Cossacks. You Cannot Kill An Idea: Podtyolkov the Bolshevik says this right before his execution, telling the crowd that they'll be sorry later, and that all Russia will be Bolshevik. Your Cheating Heart: Aksiniya and Grishka cheat on their spouses with each other. Grishka is serially unfaithful to Natalya, who decides she won't have another baby with such a husband. She tries to abort her own baby, and dies as a result.

Sergei Appolinarievich Gerasimov (Russian: Серге́й Апполина́риевич Гера́симов; 21 May 1906 – 26 November 1985) was a Soviet film director and screenwriter. The oldest film school in the world, the VGIK, bears his name. Gerasimov started his film industry career as an actor in 1924. At first he appeared in Kozintsev and Trauberg films, such as The Overcoat and The New Babylon. Later, he was commissioned to produce screen versions of the literary classics of socialist realism. His epic screenings of Alexander Fadeyev's The Young Guard (1948) and Mikhail Sholokhov's And Quiet Flows the Don (1957–58) were extolled by the authorities as exemplary. During several decades of their teaching in the VGIK Gerasimov and his wife Tamara Makarova prepared many generations of Russian actors. In his last film Gerasimov played Leo Tolstoy, while Makarova was cast as Tolstoy's wife. Gerasimov is buried in the Novodevichy Cemetery of Moscow.

He is known for writing about life and fate of Don Cossacks during the Russian Revolution, the civil war and the period of collectivization, primarily the famous And Quiet Flows the Don. Contents  [hide]  1 Life and work 2 Authorship of texts 3 Communist party and Soviet state activities 4 Legacy 5 Selected publications 6 References 7 Further reading 8 External links Life and work[edit] Sholokhov was born in Russia, in the "land of the Cossacks" – the Kruzhilin hamlet, part of stanitsa Vyoshenskaya, in the former Administrative Region of the Don Cossack Army. His father, Aleksander Mikhailovich (1865–1925), was a member of the lower middle class, at times a farmer, cattle trader, and miller. Sholokhov's mother, Anastasia Danilovna Chernikova (1871–1942), the widow of a Cossack, came from Ukrainian peasant stock (her father was a peasant in the Chernihiv oblast). She did not become literate until a point in her life when she wanted to correspond with her son. Sholokhov attended schools in Karginskaya (ru), Moscow, Boguchar, and Veshenskaya until 1918, when he joined the Bolshevik side in the Russian civil war at the age of 13. He spent the next few years fighting in the civil war. Sholokhov began writing at 17. He completed his first literary work, the short story, "The Birthmark", at 19. In 1922 Sholokhov moved to Moscow to become a journalist, but he had to support himself through manual labour. He was a stevedore, stonemason, and accountant from 1922 to 1924, but he also intermittently participated in writers' "seminars". His first published work was a satirical article, The Test (Oct. 19, 1923).[2] Mikhail Sholokhov and his wife, 1924 New memorial to Mikhail Sholokhov in Moscow, on Gogol Boulevard In 1924 Sholokhov returned to Veshenskaya and devoted himself entirely to writing. In the same year he married Maria Petrovna Gromoslavskaia (1901 -1992), the daughter of Pyotr Gromoslavsky, the ataman of Bukanovskaya (ru) village; they had two daughters and two sons. His first book Tales from the Don, a volume of stories about his native region during World War I and the Russian Civil War, largely based on his personal experiences, was published in 1926. The story "Nakhalyonok", partially based on his own childhood, was later made into a popular film. In the same year Sholokhov began writing And Quiet Flows the Don, which earned the Stalin Prize and took him fourteen years to complete (1926–1940). It became the most-read work of Soviet fiction and was heralded as a powerful example of socialist realism, and it earned him the 1965 Nobel Prize in Literature. It deals with the experiences of the Cossacks before and during World War I and the Russian Civil War. Virgin Soil Upturned, which earned the Lenin Prize, took 28 years to complete. It was composed of two parts: Seeds of Tomorrow(1932) and Harvest on the Don (1960), and reflects life during collectivization in the Don area. The short story "The Fate of a Man" (1957) was made into a popular Russian film. His unfinished novel, They Fought for Their Country is about World War II fighting in the USSR (in Russia the Soviet-German war during World War II is commonly referred to as the Great Patriotic War). During World War II Sholokhov wrote about the Soviet war efforts for various journals. He also covered the devastation caused by Nazi troops along the Don. His mother was killed when Veshenskaya was bombed in 1942. Sholokhov's collected works were published in eight volumes between 1956 and 1960. Authorship of texts[edit] Sholokhov was accused of plagiarizing And Quiet Flows the Don, which had made his international reputation. Sholokhov's critics claimed that it was written by Fyodor Kryukov, a Cossack and Anti-Bolshevik who had died in 1920.[3][4] Because of the accusations, which started in 1928, Sholokhov asked Pravda newspaper to prove his authorship. He submitted his manuscripts of the first three volumes of And Quiet Flows the Don and the plan of the fourth one. In 1929 a special commission was formed that accepted Sholokhov's authorship. In the conclusion signed by four experts, the commission stated that there was no evidence of plagiarism on the one hand, and on the other hand the manuscripts' style was close to that of Sholokhov's previous book, Tales from the Don.[5] The allegations resurfaced in the 1960s with Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn as a notable proponent, possibly in retaliation for Sholokhov's scathing opinion of Solzhenitsyn's novella One Day in the Life of Ivan Denisovich.[6] In 1984 Norwegian Slavicist and mathematician Geir Kjetsaa, in a monograph written with three other colleagues, provided statistical analyses showing that Mikhail Sholokhov was likely the true author of And Quiet Flows the Don,[7] and in 1987, several hundred pages of notes and drafts of the work were discovered and authenticated, including chapters excluded from the final draft.[6] During the Second World War, Sholokhov's archive was destroyed in a bomb raid, and only the fourth volume survived. Sholokhov had his friend Vassily Kudashov, who was killed in the war, looked after it. Following Kudashov's death, his widow took possession of the manuscript, but she never disclosed her ownership. The manuscript was finally found by the Institute of World Literature of the Russian Academy of Sciences in 1999 with assistance from the Russian government. The writing paper dates back to the 1920s: 605 pages are in Sholokhov's own hand, and 285 are transcribed by his wife Maria and sisters.[8] In 1999 the Russian Academy of Science carried out an analysis of the manuscript and came to the conclusion that And Quiet Flows the Don had been written by Sholokhov himself.[9] Statistical analysis of sentence lengths in And Quiet Flows the Don gives full support to Sholokhov.[10] Communist party and Soviet state activities[edit] Sholokhov met Joseph Stalin in 1930 and must have made a good impression, because he was one of very few people who could give the dictator a truthful account of what was happening in the country without risk to himself. In the 1930s he wrote several letters to Stalin from his home in Veshenskaya about the appalling conditions in the kolkhozes and sovkhozes along the Don, requesting assistance for the farmers.[11] In January 1931, he warned: "Comrade Stalin, without exaggeration, conditions are catastrophic!"[12] On 4 April 1933, he sent a long letter in which, among many other details, he named two OGPU officers whom he accused of torturing prisoners from his district. Stalin reacted by sending a senior official, Matvey Shkiryatov (Wikidata), to investigate. The two officers were arrested and sentenced to death; their sentences were later revoked, but they were banned from working in Sholokhov's home village.[13] Stalin also arranged for extra food to be sent to Veshenskaya and the neighbouring district.[14] Sholokhov joined the CPSU in 1932, and in 1937 he was elected to the Supreme Soviet of the Soviet Union. In August 1937, his best friend, the secretary of the Veshenskaya party committee, P.K. Lugovoi, was arrested. Sholokohov was due to take part in an international writers' conference, but he refused to leave the country while Lugovoi was being held. Stalin sent another official, Vladimir Stavsky, to investigate, and invited Sholokhov to visit him in the Kremlin. After their meeting, on 4 November 1937, Lugovoi and two other prisoners on whose behalf Sholokhov had interceded were released, but in a subsequent letter to Stalin, he complained that the people responsible for wrongfully arresting them had not been punished. On a visit to Moscow in 1938, Sholokhov met Yevgenia Yezhova, wife of Nikolai Yezhov, the chief of police, and checked into a hotel room with her, unaware that the room was bugged. Yezhov heard the recording and attacked Yezhova. On 23 October 1938, Sholokhov met Stalin in the Kremlin to complain that he had been put under surveillance in Veshenskaya, but when Yezhov was summoned to explain, he claimed not to know why. They met again on 31 October: this time the officer who had been investigating Sholokhov was also summoned. He said his orders had come from Moscow, but Yezhov again denied giving the order.[15] Sholokhov claimed that he completed the fourth and last volume of And Quiet Flows the Don and its sequel on 21 December 1939, the day when the USSR was celebrating what was supposedly Stalin's 60th birthday, and celebrated by opening a bottle of wine that Stalin had given him. He then wrote to Stalin to say how he had marked the special day.[16] In 1959 he accompanied Soviet Premier Nikita Khrushchev on a trip to Europe and the United States. He became a member of the CPSU Central Committee in 1961, Academician of the USSR Academy of Sciences in 1939, and was a member of the USSR Supreme Soviet. He was twice awarded the title of Hero of Socialist Labor, and later became vice president of the Union of Soviet Writers. Legacy[edit] An asteroid in main-belt is named after him, 2448 Sholokhov.
