Movies from outer spaceFrom the tsars to the stars at Harvard
Soviet genre films may be the richest of all, with the most money, the deepest resources of Socialist intent, and the most humongous stew of cultural legacies. As seen in the Harvard Film Archive’s “From the Tsars to the Stars” series of excavated Russian epics, the Soviet sci-fi films are uniquely conflicted — futurism and technological progressiveness were axioms of the kingdom, but since sci-fi is inherently a form of social critique, the films struggle with their own tropes.
