About this product

Product Information

Sergei Eisenstein's film of the famed Odessa revolt has been one of the landmarks of cinema since its release. Commissioned by the government to commemorate the failed uprising of 1905, it's without stars or even actors in the usual sense, exemplifying the collectivism it celebrates. The Battleship Potemkin has just returned from the war with Japan, its crew near mutiny because of brutal treatment and bad rations. When they're served maggot-infested meat one morning, the sailors finally rebel. One of the sailors, Vakulinchuk (Aleksandr Antonov), dissuades the officers from firing upon the mutineers, and they join the rest of the crew in revolt. Hearing of the mutiny, the people of Odessa send supplies to express their solidarity with the crew and gather en masse to mourn a slain sailor. The czar's troops arrive to dispel the crowd. In perhaps the most famous sequence in film history, the director rhymically intercuts shots of the troops marching machinelike down the Odessa steps with shots of innocent citizens being killed and wounded, in a brilliant embodiment of the director's theories of montage. Aside from CITIZEN KANE, perhaps the most perfectly constructed film ever made, the film's vision of tyranny and rebellion remain as powerful today as it was in 1925.

  • Based on the true story of a Russian Navy revolt

    Originally intended as inspirational Soviet propaganda, it exceeded itself and became a masterwork. Based on true events, this movie captures the story of the 1905 revolt aboard the Russian Battleship Ptomekin as legend has it. An outstanding film that's rarely viewed today. Suitable for school age children and up (especially for a history class), provided that it has been reviewed by a parent first. One of the Soviet era classics! This particular version was issued in 1998 on a DVD format. Please note that the review is for the movie only. When most reviews are written, there is no clue as to who the seller is.

  • Battleship Potemkin

    Hailed by many as a classic of revolutionary cinema, Battleship Potemkin demonstrates the genius of Eisenstein. It showcases cinematic techniques that were ahead of its time and even set standards that remain true even for today's film making. The movie was made as a government propaganda and that is evident. The film as some reviewers put it "is more interested in appearing impressive, than long-term results, so the ultimate is a cold and empty masterpiece."
