Summary:

"Bed and Sofa" is a captivating study of the 1927 film by Abram Room about the failure of the sexual revolution in 1920s Russia. The story of a mé nage-à -trois involving one woman and two men, and set in a 1920s Moscow flat, the film is remarkable for its frankness, humor, and its caustic assessment of the new Soviet society, particularly the new Soviet man.
