Sergei Eisenstein Collection (Vol 1) - Silent Classics (Restored)

Film Description

The first volume collecting together the films of the profoundly influential Russian filmmaking legend Sergei Eisenstein. Features Strike (1925), Battleship Potemkin (1925) and October (1927). All of the films still have the capacity to inspire, surprise and involve.

Strike is Eisenstein's brilliant, complex re-creation of the development of a 1912 factory strike in Tsarist Russia, and its savage destruction by agents provocateurs, police and mounted troops. Battleship Potemkin, which celebrates the mutinous rebellion of the crew of the Potemkin against their officers in 1905, is a landmark work in cinema history, notable for its use of montage, not least in its famous 'Odessa steps' sequence. October: Ten Days that Shook the World is an outstanding work in praise of the Russian Revolution of 1917, reconstructing the events leading up to the revolution and the Bolshevik overthrow of the Czarists.
