Boris Godounov was released in 1989. It's audience rating is N/A and it runs for 118 min. A Musical, Drama movie, it was written by Alexander Pushkin, Modest Mussorgsky, Andrzej Zulawski, directed by Andrzej Zulawski; starring Ruggero Raimondi, Kenneth Riegel, Bernard Lefort. Zulawski tackles Modest Mussorgsky’s famous opera about the bloody battle for ascendancy to the throne of Russia in the 17th-century! With a score conducted by Mstislav Rostropovich, Zulawski adds extra layers of devilish meta-textual embellishment by composing the film’s imagery as though we are watching a theater piece of a film crew making a movie about the opera of “Boris Godounov”! As well, the picture is full of delightful anachronisms that mock the then-contemporary Russian government, alongside jabs at other 20th-century dictatorships. So incensed was Rostropovich by Zulawski’s juiced final product — one that took liberties with the narrative’s sexual thrust, amongst other things — that he (unsucessfully) took Zulawski to court for “the violation of the Russian soul”! “Impressive in its use of whirling camera movements as well as mega close-ups of the contracted faces of its singers, ‘Boris Godounov’ is one of the most original opera movies ever made”. Boris Godounov was first released in France, Spain, Yugoslavia and has grossed N/A at the BoxOffice Worldwide. It is available in the Russian language(s).
