Thanks to Ale Smallbone for highlighting this one to a bunch of us on Twitter, I thought I'd add it here for others to know about too.
Tom has the role (voice only I think) of artist Kazimir Malevich in Margy Kinmonth's new documentary film which "seamlessly weaves the tumultuous period of the Russian Revolution with the story of the artists that shaped it".
Pride & Prejudice (2005) Blog: A new documentary film: Revolution - New Art For A New World featuring voices of Matthew Macfadyen and Tom Hollander (which also links to the official Revolution.film website that has loads of background information).
In 2011 I accompanied a friend to the Royal Academy of Art's exhibition on this period / geography of art, called 'Building the Revolution: Soviet Art and Architecture 1915-1935' which featured many of the artworks from people mentioned in this documentary. It was rather lovely, in a slightly unsettling sort of way - I remember lots of industrial stuff and scary looking buildings.
While searching for more information about that exhibition to include in this thread I discovered that the RA are rerunning the exhibition next year! Revolution: Russian Art 1917-1932 (11 Feb to 17 April 2017) - hooray. I wonder if they'll arrange a special screening of Margy's documentary, I might suggest it!
Here are some more photos of Malevich's art which I found on Flickr.
