Very interesting, perhaps not entertaining.

Rating: 8/10 (4 February 2020)

I understand its cultural impact (Odessa Steps scene), criticising the Tsarist authority as an extended criticism of what they then. Beyond that, I don't have much to say about this movie, it didn't strike me as particularly impressive outside of its historical context. One could argue that's the entire thing going for this movie, but quite frankly, I don't really care. I'm here to watch movies and crosscheck with their historical context, I'm not studying how cinema is used as a vector to criticise, compliment, or otherwise comment on events in their time, or the past.
