Princess Mary (1955)

Director: Isidor Annensky

Screen adaptation of the chapter of the same name from Mikhail Lermontov's “A Hero of Our Time”. Pechorin, having learned about his friend Grushnitsky's passion for Princess Mary Ligovskaya, out of boredom and a desire to annoy the completely false cadet, falls in love with the girl. The film tells about the romantic story of Pechorin, whose reckless love game turns into a tragedy for himself - a man who clearly does not fit into the laws of the time in which fate has sentenced him to live...
