A Truly Remarkable Milestone in Cinema

Rating: 9/10 (8 June 2003)

Since I already saw quite a few of 1920 movies I reckoned that this would also be a very stylish,though slow and dull movie.Was I ever going to be surprised!
"Bronenosets Potyomkin" is a masterpiece that doesn't get boring for one second.The two main scenes,the take-over scene on deck and the legendary and simply astonishing Odessa steps sequence are full of action and very well made. No wonder that Brian dePalma chose this sequence to be remade in "the Untouchables" and although I thought that that was the best scene of the movie,I would say that the original is even better! The moving camera(!) and the constant threat in the eyes of the people is unique.
The other scenes are,although full of Russian sentiment,also of very high quality and this makes the movie one of my new all-time favorites. Truly remarkable!! 10/10
