This stop-motion film was created in 1912, making it light years ahead of it’s time. It’s the story of a cheating wife and her husband, acted out by beetles.
The bug models were so realistic that when the film was first seen in America, the Americans thought the Russians had trained live bugs to perform it.
By today’s standards it’s very lo tech. But we think that adds to the charm. And the dancing frog in the nightclub is very funny.
Unfortunately, Starewicz won’t be producing any new films any day soon as he’s been dead for 45 years. However, if you like what you see check out his filmography at:
