Battleship Potemkin
1925
(dir. by Sergei Eisenstein, 75 minutes)
Following on from Soviet sci-fi comedy, Pushkin House’s Kino Club is charting the revolutionary waters of Sergei Eisenstein’s Battleship Potemkin.
His classic, groundbreaking 1925 film focuses on a naval mutiny in the Black Sea during the abortive 1905 revolution.
The film’s 75 minute duration is composed of 1,400 takes, and is the precise model of its innovatory director’s theory of montage. Potemkin is a vital viewing experience, allowing the audience to transcend its landmark status, and become lost in Eistenstein’s breathtakingly skillful film-making.
