Commissioned to commemorate the tenth anniversary of the 1917 October Revolution, this silent epic abandons traditional character-driven storytelling to document the fall of the Russian monarchy and the rise of the Bolsheviks. Through the eyes of the masses, the film recreates key historical flashpoints, from the February Revolution and the return of Lenin to the final, chaotic storming of the Winter Palace. It is less a history lesson and more a high-speed collision of images designed to provoke an ideological response through Eisenstein’s signature 'intellectual montage.'
Synopsis
A large-scale view on the events of 1917 in Russia, when the monarchy was overthrown.
