Our take
I'm a fan of silent cinema, so this 2-disc set of 'Bed and Sofa' and 'Chess Fever' was a must-buy. The prints are clean for their age, and the English subtitles are well-timed. The special edition includes both films on one DVD, which is convenient. 'Chess Fever' is a fun short, and 'Bed and Sofa' is a surprisingly modern love triangle. The case is standard tall DVD style. For $26, it's a great deal for cinephiles who appreciate Russian film history.
