Sinekatalog’s take

Vsevolod Pudovkin's silent epic follows a peasant arriving in the capital and awakening politically through war and revolution. Rousing and powerfully edited, it is a classic of Soviet montage and revolutionary storytelling.Sinekatalog’s own editorial review – not a user or critic quote.
