The Extraordinary Adventures of Mr. West in the Land of the Bolsheviks
A spirited 1920s silent comedy that mines absurdist humor from cultural collision and mistaken identity, with a bumbling American protagonist navigating Soviet Russia through slapstick and visual gags.
An ignorant and prejudiced American’s visit of Soviet Russia goes off the rails after his luggage is stolen and he is separated from his bodyguard.
