One Dress a Day Challenge

August: Fantasy & Sci-Fi

Aelita, Queen of Mars / Aleksandra Peregonets as Ikhoshka

I think of this as "the bumblebee costume" because of the striped body and the headdress that reminds me of antennae. Ikhoshka is Queen Aelita's favorite servant, and she wears this elaborate framework "skirt" over a pair of baggy pantaloons. She also has ballet slippers, a chunky necklace, and something like a battery pack at her waist.

The costumes for the Martian sequences, designed by Aleksandra Ekster, are outlandish and highly imaginative. This movie was said to be a strong influence on Metropolis. You can find several versions of it free to watch on YouTube.

The recent Soviet films that I've watched!

These are some of the Soviet films that I've watched and I recommend you to have a look as well! These films are starting to grow on me ever since my interest in Russian culture began to develop! And I believe everyone should watch these films, as well!

1. Garage — Eldar Ryazanov

The first film I watched was "Garage". It is a one-room film which I oddly enjoyed? In some parts, I laughed, and in some parts, I went serious.

It's about a group of people who argue about losing their parking spots for the garage because of a new highway construction, but the way they hilariously created the tension and the drama is what brings me close to this story! I liked it so far and you should give it a go, as well!

2. Afonya — Georgiy Daneliya

The second movie I watched. They said this movie was a "comedy".

HOW IS THIS A COMEDY?

They must have mistakenly thought this movie would make others laugh, but instead.. why do I feel hopeless? Why am I depressed while I'm watching it? Poor Afonya, man.. tells a lot how a man feels given up at some point and when he tries to change things always go downhill for him. Sometimes Afonya is not guilty, but sometimes he is. Being disconnected from reality is the worst thing that could happen to one person.

But, aside from the depressive moments, this movie was so well made! And in between I realised the protagonist is played by the SAME actor who played the role of George Miloslavsky from Ivan Vasilievich Changes Profession! I'm able to guess the actors now and it's such a miracle now *sniff*

3. Beware of the Car — Eldar Ryazanov

The third film was directed by the same person who also created "The Garage". I first thought of watching this film for Anatoli Papanov and Andrei Mironov, but somehow it also touched my heart for the protagonist, Yuri Detochkin as well. Sure he did steal cars, but sold them for good intentions. I also loved the friendship between him and the detective Maxim, and how he deals with the inner conflict of whether he wants to defend his friend or portray him as a thief. This film was so heartwarming, it felt like almost crying.

I drew Bender in Kievnauchfilm style. That studio was and still remains as a main inspiration of source and since childhood their films always made me giggle.

I drew Bender in that style as a joke at first, but then I wanted to take the deisng further and give him more gritty and polished look the cutout animation has.

Maybe I should draw Final Space next.

One Dress a Day Challenge

February: Coeli's Monochrome Picks

Aelita, Queen of Mars / Yuliya Solntseva as Aelita

Coeli's comment: "Aelita: Queen of Mars has some magnificently weird Constructivist costumes in the Martian sequence (contrasting with the dull Soviet realism of the rest of the movie!)."

The Martian costumes in this film, by Aleksandra Ekster, are indeed quite something! Here, Aelita wears a hat that's something like an umbrella spine or perhaps a radio antenna. And is the design of that bodice meant to hint that she has three breasts, or is it just a stylistic thing?

There's a cool writeup and summary of the movie here.

I featured a costume Ikhoshka, Aelita's servant (who dresses like a bumblebee in a birdcage), in a previous post.

In my adventures of watching soviet film so far I have discovered there are some distinct aspects each soviet film must have at least 1 or more of present or else it is not a soviet film:

Random Charlie Chaplin clones either in the background or as a named character/ interactable character

One or more characters kill themselves somewhere in the films story

1 character who is brolic for no reason

A communist version of an "and everybody clapped" moment

WW2

Some science shit that is in some way related to space

one alcoholic douchbag who exists to be an alcoholic douchbag

A fascination with planes that has to do with the plot but isnt addressed very much

Casual misogyny

A scene involving some guy playing a piano

This oddly specific style of lamp

Stalin replaces god in the creepiest way possible

Alternate versions of western styles that are similar to their counterparts but with a very distinct communist and or Soviet slant

An old person who seems to know everything

Everyone getting executed near the end
