Review of October (Ten Days that Shook the World) (1928) by Matt B — 01 Apr 2008
A masterwork of world cinema, this is perhaps Eisenstein's finest film. The entire film is bursting with an intensity that grabs the viewer with every frame. The montage sequences in this film are perhaps the most elaborate that Eisenstein ever worked with.
The historical aspect is quite interesting. An introduction to the film tells us that the film was shot in the same locations as the events depicted in the film, along with cast members who were involved in the 1917 revolution.
This film is a must for anyone seriously interested in the development of world cinema.
