Review of October (Ten Days that Shook the World) (1928) by Iana D — 18 Oct 2009
This 1927 Sergei Eisentein movie is, as it was intended to be, an impressive piece of Soviet propaganda..... Scary in its subliminal violence, its extreme simplification, quasi extermination, of true political thought.
This film IS totalitarianism in action. At the same time, wonderful 1920s silent film-making. The theatrality, the dark and light, the heroisation of the Common Man. Certainly a must for people interested in cinema history, and in History per se.
