| Battleship Potemkin (1925) Also Known As: Bronenosets Potemkin Country: Russian Federation Language: Silent Year: 1925 Color/BW: BW Category: Feature Film Genre: Drama, History, War
Description Regarded as one of the most significant works in the history of silent pictures, as well as possibly Eisenstein's supreme work, Battleship Potemkin brought his theories of cinema art to the world in a powerful showcase; his emphasis on montage, his stress of intellectual contact, and his treatment of the mass instead of the individual as the protagonist. The film tells the story of the Russian ship Prince Potemkin where a horribly bloody mutiny took place during the 1905 uprising. Eisenstein signals this as the jumping off point for the revolution.
