Strong beginning and end in film from career cut short, 5 October 2006
6/10
Author: mgmax from Chicago

Report from Cinesation 2006: THE COSSACK WHIP (***) Viola Dana versus the Tsar's secret police, leading up to a climax that prompted inevitable comparisons among this silents-savvy crowd to the legendary Behind the Door. This 1916 melodrama was directed by her husband, John Collins, who died in the influenza epidemic in 1918, and was just far enough ahead of the actual Russian Revolution to treat revolutionaries sympathetically; it sags badly with a soapy middle, when she's torn between revenge and a career in the west as a dancer, but the vividness of the opening scenes (the Cossacks attack her village) and the climax, and Collins' generally lively and inventive staging, make it a strong and memorable film. (Eastman House archivist Ed Stratmann's intro was interesting, talking about how the film was reconstructed from different versions around the world, each containing different censor cuts within a film with, apparently, something to offend everyone.)
