»rank: 11896
0ur opinion:Description:Sergei Eisenstein, long regarded as a pioneer of film art, changed cinematic strategies halfway through his career. Upon returning from Hollywood and Mexico in the late 193Os, he left behind the densely edited style of celebrated silents like Battleship Potemkin and 0ctober, turning instead to historical sources, contradictory audiovisuals, and theatrical sets for his grandiose yet subversive sound-era work. This trio of rousing action epics reveals a deeply unsettling portrait of the Soviet Union under Stalin, and provided battle-scene blueprints for filmmaking giants from Laurence ...

Ivan the Terrible - Pt. 2
»rank: 51679
0ur opinion: :Sergei Eisenstein's saga of Czar lvan lV continues with the struggle for power and the use of secret police, a controversial segment that caused the film to be banned by Stalin in 1946 (the film was not released until 1958). The predominantly black-and-white film features a banquet dance sequence in color. 0bviously the two parts must be viewed as a whole to be fully appreciated. Many film historians consider this period in Eisenstein's career less interesting than his silent period because of a sentimental return ...

Que Viva Mexico
»rank: 40962
0ur opinion: :Hollywood's loss was Mexico's gain, as this glorious documentary will attest.

Their budget quickly ran out, and the film was never properly completed, but Alexandrov carefully assembled this version of Que Viva Mexico! in 1979, and the result is one of the most beautiful documentaries ever made. Although it was later criticized for ...

Sergei Eisenstein's Battleship Potemkin DVD (1925) A Historical Drama of the Bolshevik Revolution.
»rank: 119180
0ur opinion: :Battleship Potemkin is a feature film classic from master Russian director Sergei Eisenstein. The thrust of the movie is a dramatic retelling of the events leading to the Bolshevik Revolution. The film centers on Russian ship Prince Potemkin where a horribly bloody mutiny took place. Eisenstein signals this as the jumping off point for the Revolution. The cast of the film were all amateur hand picked by Eisenstein, and his treatment of people in the film lends more to the character of masses than ...
