A man, his wife, her lover – divorce is out of the question. There is only one way out: the agony of a feigned death. Fyodor Otsep's film version of Leo Tolstoy's play is a classic example of the "East-meets-West" perspective adopted by the Mezhrabpom-Film studio and its German producer, Prometheus. This classical melodrama about a divorce that is prevented by both the church and the state is interwoven with avant-garde montages to create a social critique of pre-revolutionary Russia.

This very interesting adaptation of Tolstoy could of course be even more interesting, but it would then have to have a consistent translation and a good concert as a musical accompaniment. The Living Corpse is a film that raises plenty of moral questions.
