Sergei EisensteinCast
Vasili Nikandrov Nikolai Popov Boris Livanov
Plot
A dramatised account of the 1917 revolution, from the fall of the tsar to the storming of the Winter Palace, made for its tenth anniversary.
Sinekatalog’s take
Eisenstein's dramatised account of 1917 runs from the fall of the tsar to the storming of the Winter Palace, in a flood of rhythmic montage. Some of its images were later mistaken for real newsreel, and its intellectual editing still dazzles and exhausts.Sinekatalog’s own editorial review – not a user or critic quote.
