Yakov Protazanov's L'ANGOISSANTE AVENTURE (staring, among others, the exquisite Ivan Mosjoukine), is the first production by Russian émigrés in France, made while they were fleeing the Russian Revolution.

Thankfully it is now available for free via the Cinémathèque française, and therefore I implore you all to become better acquainted with Vanya:

As in Enrico Novelli's Un matrimonio interplanetario [A Marriage in the Moon] (1910), interplanetary #romance blooms in Аэлита [Aelita: Queen of Mars] (Yakov Protazanov, 1924).
