The complexity of staging the emotional scenario, coinciding in its appearance with the crisis of montage in silent cinema, inclines film directors to creative experiments. The film “The Simple Case” was based on Rzheshevskii’s script and went down in history as a creative failure of Pudovkin and his plan was left largely unrealized for different reasons. The reflection on principles of the emotional scenario took place during Pudovkin’s work on that film and it is being studied in the article following the text of the surviving shooting script. The author considers that Pudovkin’s approaches were aimed at the plotepisodization which helped to increase the significance of the particular character. Working on the “symbolic prologue” of the shooting script Pudovkin was looking for new ways to represent the man on the screen, involving synthetic principle of depicting. The character becomes not a derivative of the plot structure but a form of the reality presence, created through the different emotional stimuli: visual, colorful, vocal, musical. The article considers his work in relation to the ideas about synthetic artwork, which became relevant in the 1930s as a potential alternative to analytical experiments of avant-garde and to the doctrine of socialist realism.
