Moonstone

About This Movie

Moonstone is a 1935 adventure film produced by Lenfilm. It follows a geological expedition searching for a rare element in the Pamir mountains, offering a glimpse into early Soviet cinema and exploration themes.

Moonstone has seen limited availability across formats; it’s primarily been released on VHS and a few obscure DVD editions, making it somewhat elusive for collectors. The scarcity of prints adds an interesting layer to its collectibility, as interest seems to wax and wane over the years. Collectors often appreciate the film for its historical context within the adventure genre, and there’s an ongoing curiosity about its director, whose identity remains somewhat of a mystery. Having this film in your collection can spark discussions around early cinematic techniques and the evolution of adventure storytelling.
