Twilight of a Womna's Soul de Evgenii Bauer 1913:However, it is in the fields of social dramas and tragedies involving psychological obsessions that Bauer reached his peak. These brooding works seemed to strike deep chords in Russian culture and offer penetrating insights into the mood of late imperial Russia. One of the earliest of these films, Sumyerki Zhyentsina Dusha (Twilight of a Woman’s Soul), made in 1913, straddled these genres and is permeated with the melancholy despair of the time. It concerns a noblewoman who tries to break from her idle class by helping the poor and unfortunate. She is attracted to a handsome laborer who rapes her when she visits his slum dwelling. Defending herself, she kills him but is rejected by her fiancé, a prince, when she tells him of the incident. Later, she becomes an opera star but refuses to reconcile with the prince. Experimenting with lighting and design to develop his narrative, Bauer uses this film to comment on the gulf between the classes while exploring the psychology of his tormented heroine

It deals with a man who becomes obsessed with an actress he casually meets several times. When she commits suicide during a performance, he travels to her town to learn from family members the details of what had happened and to obtain her photograph. Returning to his home, he spends a terrifying night repeatedly dreaming of her and seeing her apparition before the shock finally kills him. Umirdyushchi Lyebyed’ (The Dying Swan), released in 1917, relates the story of a ballerina and her crazed admirer, an artist who keeps a human skeleton in his studio. He wishes to paint her in the role of the Dying Swan and, to achieve the perfect pose, he ends up strangling her.In Posle Smerti, Bauer continually tracks with the camera to depict the crowded reception in which the hero first meets the female protagonist

Umirayushchii Lebed, The Dying Swan de Evgenii Bauer, 1917:In Umirdyushchi Lyebyed’, he uses the moving camera for a remarkable psychological effect, tracking back from the heroine sleeping restlessly on her bed during a storm as flashes of lightning plunge the image into alternating lightness and darkness. This shot then cuts to a dream sequence in which her own death is anticipated by her encounter with a spectral figure, and she is seen in a close shot being menaced by many outstretched human hands. To develop his narratives, Bauer created a specific visual style that paid careful attention to scenic design and lighting effects while employing camera movement and dramatic close-ups. The sets he designed, famous for their columns, were spacious but freed from the overly ostentatious decorations of earlier Russian films. Ivan Perestiani, who played leading roles in many of Bauer’s films, said that "A beam of light in his hands was an artist’s brush."

Todos los subtítulos para las tres piezas realizados por el compañero oski en el siguiente hilo:
Subs. en español por Oski
Lo primero de todo indicar que el material original, el dvd de Milestone, ha sido aportado por nuestro compañero Fitzcarraldo, yo simplemente me he dedicado a intentar ripearlo lo mejor que he podido.
Los textos citados son extractos de uno más amplio escrito por William M. Drew en: http://www.gildasattic.com/bauer.html
Las distintas películas las íré poniendo por orden cronológico tal y como están en el post; todas serán de 500Mb. y con la misma resolución por si alguien las quiere unir. El dvd original posee una reserva-marco en negro para encuadrar el fotograma original que lo he "cropeado". También dejo un pdf con algunos comentarios sobre su obra: Evgenii Bauer-Mad Love-.pdf Y animo a los que no hayan visto sus películas que aprovechen la oportunidad porque son sorprendentes.
Un saludo y gracias de nuevo a Fitz.
