Review of Battleship Potemkin (1925) by Robert P — 11 Oct 2010
Yes, the montage effects defines the art form and the shot composition is pretty close to perfection. But what is often overlooked is also the power of the script, necessarily minimal but perfectly judged.
A monument to collectivism, Sergei builds a story based largely around shots of massed groups taking action against individual tyrants, with virtually no individual characterization. This movie is the purest antidote to Hollywood blockbusters.
