A dramatized account of a great Russian naval mutiny and a resulting street demonstration which brought on a police massacre.

"Battleship Potemkin" is one of those old films that just feels so god damn fresh. A film this uncompromisingly intense from 1925? This thing packs way more of a punch than any action film ever made; the legendary Odessa steps scene, which we've all undoubtedly scene referenced somewhere in pop culture, is just fucking brutal, the work of a genius. And the camera work too; incredible. Not just "it... read more

The movie revolves around an uprising on board the Battleship Potemkin (Bronenosets Potyomkin) in 1905. Conditions on the ship are unbearable, which in turn incites revolutionary fervor among the sailors, most notably within the character of Vakulinchik.

Movie Reviews (part 2) (50 movies items)

" The Ups: The massacre at the massive steps in Odessa is a brutal and excellent edited scene as any critic has said since they saw the film. Fantastic direction with great visuals. The Downs: Some of the film's patriotic "brothers in arms" message is dated and fun for historic value only."

"When the crew of the battleship Potemkin are served rotten meat for dinner they strike in protest. Soon the protest becomes a riot, which spills into the streets of the port of Odessa and results in a police massacre… Similar to Triumph of the Will, this may not be to everybody’s taste but is certainly worthy of your time. One of the most influential films in cinematic history, Sergei Eisenstein’s Battleship Potemkin displayed some technical firsts upon its release. Most significantly, "
