Собачье сердце (1988) aka “Heart of a Dog”
“Old Prof. Preobrazhensky and his young colleague Dr. Bormental inserted the human’s hypophysis into a dog’s brain.”
There, in July of 1915, Lilya’s junior sister, Elsa, introduced her boyfriend, poet Vladimir Mayakovsky, to Osip and Lilya. Mayakovsky became obsessed with both, charming and coquettish Lilya Brik, and intellectually challenging Osip Brik. But Lilya remained married to Osip Brik, who extended his hospitality to her greatest admirer. Osip Brik financed the publication of futurist poetry collection ‘Cloud in Pants’ (1915) by Vladimir Mayakovsky, which was inspired by their muse, Lilya. At that time Lilya became involved in silent film. In 1918 she made her film debut co-starring with Mayakovsky in Zakovannaya filmoi (1918) which was produced by the “Neptun” film studio in St. Petersburg.
