Stillness and movement in a soviet propaganda

Rating: 8/10 (5 May 2020)

Eisenstein truly is a master of timeless visuals, greatly combining movement and stillness in his work. He uses both close-ups and long distance shots, quick cuts and long shots, the pacing is also great - the movie has a sort of a rhytm which lets you wonder but not long enough for you to get bored. It flows like water which often connects the still and the moving objects depicted.
The story is strongly biased and might be marked as propaganda. Hence, the movie is appreciated for its form - and rightfully so.
