For sale: DVD film "Corto Maltese in Siberia" in a special slidepack edition. Corto Maltese: The Secret Court of the Arcanes (Corto Maltese in Siberia) is a 2002 French, Luxembourgish, and Italian animated drama-adventure film directed by Pascal Morelli. Based on the book Corto Maltese in Siberia by Hugo Pratt. Synopsis: 'God knows how abominable a world without adventure, without dreams, without joy would be' — Rasputin The ten days that shook the world. With these prophetic words, American journalist John Reed—one of Corto Maltese’s many historic friends—summarized the momentous events of the 1917 Russian Revolution. Between the Urals and Shanghai, the uprising stirred powerful emotions across all levels of society. Some were drawn to heinous acts, while others displayed nobler honor. Much was at stake: gold, nostalgia for an older way of life, hope for a new world order... Amidst this instability, people desperately sought oracles for answers, killed out of boredom, and died from an ill-timed glance. Against this dramatic backdrop, Corto and Rasputin attempt to seize the Czar’s gold—gold that General Kolchak intends to use to finance his war and overthrow the Bolsheviks. Along the way, Corto encounters various Chinese secret societies, a Russian duchess as enchanting as she is perverse, a man who believes himself the reincarnation of Genghis Khan, an American aviator, and countless generals torn between nostalgia for past glories and anxiety about their future.
