Moscow, 1924: "The Extraordinary Adventures of Mr. West in the Land of the Bolsheviks", is a brilliant film parody on American misconception of the Bolshevik Revolution, by Lev Kuleshov. I like so much the beginning of the film: Mr. West, an American, wants to go to Soviet Moscow on business, but his friends try to persuade him not to go, because the Bolsheviks are brutes, savage cannibals and criminals. And then you can see on the screen a series of images of wild Russians! Those are my favourite scenes. Otherwise, Kuleshov is famous for his experiments in film editing. So called "Kuleshov effect" proves the difference between the photographed reality and the celluloid strip; if you first show on the screen a dead girl lying in a coffin, and then a completely expressionless face of a man, the audience will conclude that man was moved by the deep sorrow. But if you show them first a bowl of hot soup, and then the same expressionless face, they will conclude that the man have the big appetite for soup.
