# Prometheus (1935)

1935 · Soviet Union


## Synopsis

Prometheus is a 1936 Soviet war film directed by Ivan Kavaleridze. The film is an adaptation of the 1845 poem The Caucasus by Taras Shevchenko. At the centre of the development of Ukrainian cinema during the 1930s, the film was banned by Soviet censors shortly after its release for "bourgeois nationalist" themes. Since then, it has grown to be considered one of the greatest Ukrainian films ever made, and it is rated 30th on the Dovzhenko Centre's list of 100 greatest Ukrainian films.
