"Noniin, tässä sitä sitten ollaan. Suurten kysymysten ja vielä suuremman ja ajattomimman mahdollisen klassikon äärellä. Panssarilaiva Potemkin on yksi kaikkien aikojen kuuluisimmista ja ylistetyimmistä elokuvista ja suunnilleen kaikissa maailman listauksissa kaikkien aikojen parhaiden joukkoon kuuluvasta megapaukku, josta joko tykätään tai sitten itketään ja tykätään. Tämä voisi käytännössä olla mitä täydellisin päätös nälkävuosien pituiselle neukkumaratonille, mutt"

"12th of December, DVD Nykymittapuulla Potemkinin voisi mieltää enemmänkin yksittäisten kohtausten sarjaksi, jonka propaganda on auttamattoman vanhentunut. Tästä huolimatta edelleen merkittävä ja hyvin aikaa kestänyt pätkä, joka on täynnä vaikuttavia kohtauksia. Odessan portaat on edelleen upeasti lavastettu ja hengästyttävä episodi, jota on lukemattomia kertoja lainattu muissa elokuvissa. Ei nykyään samalla tavalla merkittävä vedenjakaja idän ja lännen politiikan välillä"

Movie Reviews (51-100) (50 movies items)

" Epic Russian silent movie that tell about a pivotal event during the Russian revolution of 1905. The film is full of memorable imagery but the massacre at the massive steps in Odessa is a brutal and excellent edited scene that leave a lasting impact and it is no wonder that the scene with the baby cart has been reused in numerous more modern films since. Film's patriotic "brothers in arms" communist message is dated and fun for historic value only."

""The cinema's first modernist... was the Soviet director Sergei Eisenstein. As his most famous work, Battleship Potemkin, from 1925, shows, his analytical, quasi-scientific methods bore the mark of both aesthetic and political upheavals." - Richard Brody"

"Bronenosets Potyomkin (Броненосец Потёмкин)"

A classic

“To be honest, it has been a while since I have this flick and I should probably re-watch it at some point. By now, I have seen more than 5500 movies and, following this mad obsession about movies, I have seen many very old classics and I have noticed that it is very often hit-and-miss with such timeless  features. Indeed, with some of them, I could see right away why they have been heralded through all the years but, for some others, it seems more that they were groundbreaking when they were released but they seem to be rather dated nowadays. Well, in this case, with this movie, it thought it was pretty good and, from a technical point of view, Eisenstein was quite a genius who came up with some movie technics that were never used before but, still, was it really such a fascinating story?” read more
