Eisenstein's most famous

Rating: Null/10 (30 April 2009)

If you enjoy anything by Eisenstein, you should see this. This is a propaganda piece about the uprising and mutiny on the Battleship Potemkin. This film has been highly regarded and beloved by many critics and people overall around he world. IMO, I do not like the obsessiveness over the propaganda, but this film should probably be seen at least once for the fact that it started the "montage" form of editing and for the fact that it influenced many filmmakers all over the world. It is very overdone, but it is very important for its editing and cinematography. Its main asset is the very well-done and edited Odessa Steps scene that is praised by many people all over the world.
