Comrades has been described as one of the lost masterpieces of European cinema It appeared in 1987 to critical acclaim then disappeared almost as quickly
For my opinion Bill Douglass masterpiece stands alongside the best of Tarkovsky Bresson and Bergman Within minutes the viewer is pulled into a story of love and passion solidarity and bravery Comrades is not just onedimensional political polemic either Far from it Nor just a historical epic This is characterdriven storytelling of the highest order definitely although there are many layers to the film It fuses and transcends both narrative drama and the avante garde and cries out for further viewings
In many ways Comrades is an experimental visionary movie as well as a tribute to the cinema that came before cinema Watch out for the magic lanternist who appears in many guises Interestingly the famous actors of the day who Douglas didnt want in the film but was forced to use were cast as the affluent classes while complete unknowns were cast as the Martyrs and their families
Director Bill Douglas was a man knew about poverty and struggle He was raised in abject poverty in Newcraighall which was then an impoverished mining village on the outskirts of Edinburgh His autobiographical Trilogy filmed in a postwar Newcraighall that is now gone is his only other cinematic output But what a work It is by far the finest cinematic achievement to ever come out of Scotland Even the film scripts of Trilogy are works of literature in their own right
