The Best Silent Film.

Rating: 10/10 (9 March 2009)

"Bronenosets Potyomkin" is my favourite silent film. Apart from the now famous (legandry?) step sequence, it holds over delights(?), such as: the rotting food with maggots in it (shown in a quite a gruesome closeup) that the crew are made to eat, the actual mutiny on board the ship, and the unbearably tense climax, where the Russien battleships come to quash the uprising. One of the more horrific shots, shows a elderly woman having her eye shot out, by the troops during the steps scene.
Sergi M. Eisenstein went on too make many more brilliant movies, such as "Alexander Nevsky", but he never beat this.
