Granowsky's reputation rose quickly over the following years, as he became one of the most celebrated theatre directors in Europe.
In 1925 Granowsky directed his first film, a silent, but concentrated his efforts on his stage work.
After the Russian Revolution, and the Communist victory in the Russian Civil War, Granowsky continued to live in the country even though he felt himself culturally Western European.
Granowsky was initially feted by the Soviet authorities and was awarded a number of honours but he began to find their cultural policies increasingly restrictive, and emigrated to the Weimar Republic in the late 1920s.
In Germany Granowsky worked on some theatre productions, but increasingly moved into film.

He produced and directed expensive prestige films" The Adventures of King Pausole"( 1933) and" Taras Bulba"( 1936).
