Sergei Eisenstein, 1927

Film Description

AKA Ten Days that Shook the World. Commissioned for the tenth anniversary of the 1917 Revolution, October focuses on the 10 days when the Bolsheviks brought down Kerensky's Provisional Government. A visually dynamic expression of abstract ideas, no film has quicker editing or uses more individual shots per minute. Eisenstein's film eschews tub-thumping propaganda in favour of further experiments in the intellectual montage elaborated in critical works "The Film Sense" and "Film Form." The result has lost none of its power to attract.
